Ngokuthobela abaphetheyo
1Yonke imiphefumlo mayiwalulamele amagunya awongamileyo. Kuba akukho gunya lingelilo elivela kuThixo; amagunya ke akhoyo amiswe nguThixo. 2Ngoko ke olichasayo igunya, umelene nommiselo kaThixo; abo ke bameleneyo nawo, baya kuziguqulela ukugwetywa. 3Kuba abaphathi aba asingabokoyikwa kwimisebenzi elungileyo, ngabokoyikwa kwemibi. Ùnga akungeloyiki na ke igunya? Yenza okulungileyo, wodunyiswa kwalilo; 4kuba lingumlungiseleli kaThixo, wokuba kulungele wena. Ke, ukuba usuka wenze okubi, yoyika; kuba alifumane laliphatha ikrele, kuba lingumlungiseleli kaThixo, umphindezeli ngengqumbo kowenza okubi. 5Kungoko ndithi, kufuneka ukulilulamela, ningakwenzi oko ngenxa yengqumbo yodwa, nikwenze nangenxa yesazela.
6Kuba kukwangenxa yoko eninikela irhafu; kuba ngababusi bakaThixo, bezingisa ukusebenza loo nto. 7Ngoko bonke banikeni okubafaneleyo; mnikeni irhafu ofanelwe yirhafu, unikelo ofanelwe lunikelo, ukoyika ofanelwe kukoyikwa, imbeko ofanelwe yimbeko.
Uthando lobuzalwana
8Musani ukuba natyala lanto mntwini, lingelilo elokuthandana; kuba omthandayo omnye uzalise umthetho. 9Kuba oku kuthi, Uze ungakrexezi, uze ungabulali, uze ungebi, uze ungangqini buxoki, uze ungakhanuki, nokuba kukho wumbi umthetho, uhlanganiselwe kweli lizwi lokuthi, Uze umthande ummelwane wakho ngoko uzithanda ngako. 10Uthando alusebenzi bubi kuye ummelwane; ngoko uthando luyinzaliseko yomthetho.
Ukusondela kwemini kaKristu
11Ke oko masikwenze, silazi nje ixesha eli, ukuba lilixa lokuba ngoku sivuke ebuthongweni; kuba ngoku usindiso lukufuphi kuthi, kunokuyá saqalayo ukukholwa. 12Ubusuku buhambile, ukusa ke kusondele. Masiyilahle ngoko imisebenzi yobumnyama, sixhobe iintonga zokukhanya. 13Masihambe sizibekile ngokwasemini; kungabi sezindywaleni nasekunxileni; kungabi sekuphimiseni naseburheletyweni; kungabi sezinkanini nasemoneni. 14Yambathani ke iNkosi uYesu Kristu; ize ukwazalelela inyama ningakwenzeli ukukhwezelela iinkanuko zayo.
