Uthando lukaYise lukhokelela ebomini obulungileyo
1Bonani uthando olungaka asenzele lona uYise, olu lokuba sibizwe ngokuba singabantwana bakaThixo. Ngenxa yoko ihlabathi alisazi thina, ngokuba lingamazanga yena. 2Zintanda, ngoku singabantwana bakaThixo. Akukabonakali ke into esiya kuba yiyo; ke siyazi ukuba, xa athe wabonakala, sofana naye; ngokuba siya kumbona njengoko anjalo. 3Bonke ábanalo eli themba kuye, bazenza nyulu, njengokuba yena enyulu.
Ukungavumeleki kwesono kubantwana bakaThixo
4Bonke abasenzayo isono benza okuchasene nomthetho; sona isono sikukuchasana nomthetho. 5Niyazi ke ukuba yena wabonakaliswa, ukuze azithwale azisuse izono zethu; kananjalo akukho sono kuye. 6Bonke abahlala kuye àboni; bonke abonáyo abambonanga, abamazanga nokumazi.
7Bantwanana, makungabikho namnye unikhohlisayo; lowo ubenzayo ubulungisa lilungisa, njengokuba yena elilungisa. 8Lowo usenzayo isono ungokaMtyholi; ngokuba uMtyholi woné kwasekuqalekeni. Wabonakaliselwa oku uNyana kaThixo, ukuze ayichithe imisebenzi kaMtyholi.
9Bonke abazelwe nguThixo abenzi sono, ngokuba imbewu yakhe ihleli kubo; kananjalo abanakona, ngokuba bezelwe nguThixo. 10Babonakala ngaloo nto abantwana bakaThixo, nabantwana bakaMtyholi. Bonke abangenzi bulungisa àbangabakaThixo, nalowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana wakhe. 11Ngokuba le yintshumayelo enayivayo kwasekuqalekeni, ukuba sithandane; 12singabi njengoKayin, obengowongendawo, wambulala umninawa wakhe. Wambulalelani na? Ngokuba imisebenzi yakhe ibingendawo, ke yona eyomninawa wakhe ibinobulungisa.
Uthando lwabazalwana
13Musani ukumangaliswa, bazalwana bam, ukuba ihlabathi linithiyile. 14Thina siyazi ukuba sidlule ekufeni, sangena ebomini, ngokuba sibathanda abazalwana. Lowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana uhleli ekufeni. 15Lowo umthiyileyo umzalwana wakhe usisibulala-mntu; niyazi ukuba akukho sibulala-mntu sinobomi bungunaphakade buhleliyo kuso. 16Ngale nto silwazile uthando, kuba yena wasincamela ubomi bakhe; nathi ke sifanele ukubancamela abazalwana ubomi bethu. 17Osukuba ke enayo impilo yeli hlabathi, aze ambone umzalwana wakhe eswele, azivalele iimfesane zakhe kuye, luthini na ukuhlala uthando lukaThixo ngaphakathi kwakhe?
18Bantwanana bam, masingathandi ngazwi nangamlomo; masithande ngezenzo nangenyaniso. 19Siyazi ngale nto ke ukuba singabenyaniso; siya kuzileleza iintliziyo zethu phambi kwakhe. 20Ngokuba ukuba intliziyo yethu iyasigweba, uThixo mkhulu kunentliziyo yethu, ezazi izinto zonke.
21Zintanda, ukuba intliziyo yethu ayisigwebi, sinokungafihlisi kuye uThixo; 22nesithi sikucele siyakwamkela kuye, ngokuba imithetho yakhe siyigcina, sizenze izinto ezikholekileyo emehlweni akhe. 23Nguwo lo umthetho wakhe, ukuba sikholwe ligama lonyana wakhe, uYesu Kristu, sithandane njengoko wasiwiselayo umthetho. 24Lowo uyigcinayo imithetho yakhe uhleli kuye, naye uhleli kulowo. Sazi ngale nto ke, ukuba uhleli kuthi ngoMoya lo wasinikayo.
