Kwabase-Efesu 4
1Ngakho-ke mina, siboshwa seNkosi, ngiyanincenga ukuba nihambe ngokufanele ukubizwa enabizwa ngakho;
2ngokuthobeka konke, nobumnene, ngokubekezela, nibekezelelana ngothando;
3nikhuthalele ukugcina ubunye bukaMoya ngesibopho sokuthula.
4Munye umzimba, munye uMoya, njengalokho nabizelwa ethembeni linye lokubizwa kwenu;
5yinye iNkosi, yinye inkolo, munye umbhapathizo,
6munye uNkulunkulu, noYise wabo bonke, ophezu kwabo bonke, okubo bonke, okini nonke.
7Kodwa yilowo nalowo kithina uphiwe umusa ngokwesilinganiso sesipho sikaKristu.
8Ngakho uthi: Esenyukele phezulu, wathumba abathunjwa, wapha abantu izipho.
9(Manje lokhu ukuthi wenyuka, kuyini, ngaphandle kokuthi wehlela ezindaweni eziphansi zomhlaba na?
10Yena owehlayo nguye laye owenyukela kakhulu phezu kwamazulu wonke, ukuze agcwalise zonke izinto.)
11Wapha abanye ukuthi babe ngabaphostoli; labanye abaprofethi; labanye, abavangeli; labanye bangabelusi labafundisi;
12ukuze abangcwele bapheleliswe, umsebenzi wenkonzo, ukwakhiwa komzimba kaKristu;
13size sifike sonke ebunyeni bokukholwa, lobolwazi lweNdodana kaNkulunkulu, endodeni epheleleyo, esilinganisweni sobukhulu bokugcwala kukaKristu.
14Ukuze singabe sisaba abantwana, sijikijelwa ngapha nangapha, siqhutshwa yiwo wonke umoya wemfundiso, ngobuqili babantu, nobuqili bobuqili abaqamekela ukudukisa ngabo;
15Kodwa sikhuluma iqiniso othandweni, sikhulele kuye ezintweni zonke, oyinhloko, uKristu;
16okuvela kuye ukuthi umzimba wonke uhlanganiswe ngokufaneleyo, ubumbane, ngalokho okunikezwa yilelo nalelolunga, ngokokusebenza esilinganisweni sazo zonke izitho, ukhulisa umzimba kuze kuzakheka othandweni.
17Ngakho-ke lokhu ngiyakusho, ngifakaza eNkosini, ukuthi ningabe nisahamba njengabanye abezizwe ebuzeni bengqondo yabo;
18Benziwe mnyama ukuqonda, behlukanisiwe nokuphila kukaNkulunkulu ngokungazi okukubo, ngenxa yobumpumputhe benhliziyo yabo;
19abathi sebephelelwe yimizwa bazinikele emanyaleni ukuze basebenze ukungcola konke ngokuhuheka.
20Kepha nina animfundanga kanjalo uKristu;
21uma-ke nimuzwile, nafundiswa nguye, njengokuba iqiniso likuJesu;
22ukuba nikhumule maqondana nenkambo yakuqala umuntu omdala, owonakala ngezinkanuko zenkohliso;
23nenziwe basha emoyeni wengqondo yenu;
24nembathe umuntu omusha, owadalwa ngokukaNkulunkulu ekulungeni nasebungcweleni beqiniso.
25Ngakho lahlani amanga, nikhulume iqiniso, kube yilowo nalowo kumakhelwane wakhe, ngokuba singamalungu omunye komunye.
26Thukuthelani, ningoni; ilanga malingashoni nisathukuthele.
27Futhi ningamniki uSathane indawo.
28Owebayo makangabe eseba, kodwa kunalokho makakhuthale, asebenze okuhle ngezandla zakhe, ukuze abe nokokwabela osweleyo.
29Makungaphumi nkulumo eyonakele emlonyeni wenu, kodwa kube kuhle kube kuhle kube nokwakhayo, ukuze kube umusa kwabezwayo.
30Ningamdabukisi uMoya oNgcwele kaNkulunkulu enabekwa uphawu ngaye kuze kube lusuku lokuhlengwa.
31Makususwe kini konke ukufutheka, nolaka, nentukuthelo, nomsindo, nokuhlambalaza, kanye nakho konke okubi.
32Kepha yibani nomusa omunye komunye, nihawukele, nithethelelane, njengalokho noNkulunkulu wanithethelela ngenxa kaKristu.
