Ubizo lukaThixo lufumbatha ubunye
1Ndiyanivuselela ngoko, mna mbanjwa waseNkosini, ukuba nihambe ngokulufaneleyo ubizo enabizwa ngalo, 2nínako konke ukuthobeka kwentliziyo nobulali, ninokuzeka kade umsindo, ninyamezelana, 3nisenziwa luthando, níkhuthalele ukubugcina ubunye boMoya ngentambo yoxolo. 4Mnye umzimba, mnye noMoya, njengokuba nabizwáyo nokubizwa, naba nathemba linye lobizo lwenu. 5Inye iNkosi, lunye ukholo, lunye ubhaptizo, mnye uThixo, 6uYise wabo bonke, ophezu kwabo bonke, okubo bonke, ophakathi kwenu nonke.
7Ke elowo kuthi wababalwa ngokomlinganiso wokupha kukaKristu. 8Kungoko athi,
Enyuké waya enyangweni, wathimba intimbo,
Wabapha izipho abantu.
(INdum. 68:18)
9Oko ke kùthi, wenyuka, kuyintoni na, kungekwakukuthi, wehla nokuhla kuqala, waya kwezona zisezantsi iindawo zomhlaba? 10Owehlayo ikwangulowo wenyukayo, waya ngaphezu kwawo onke amazulu, ukuze azalise zonke izinto.
11Waza kwayena wabapha abanye ukuba babe ngabapostile,• abanye babe ngabaprofeti, abanye babe ngabashumayeli beendaba ezilungileyo, abanye babe ngabalúsi nabafundisi, 12ukuze abangcwele basulungekiselwe umsebenzi wolungiselelo, ukwakhiwa ke komzimba kaKristu; 13side thina sonke sifike kubo ubunye benkolo, nobokumazi okuzeleyo uNyana kaThixo, ebudodeni obupheleleyo, emlinganisweni wobukhulu bokuzala kukaKristu; 14ukuze singabi saba ziintsana, silatyuzwa, siphetshethwa ngumoya wonke wemfundiso, ngokunyanga kwabantu, ngobuqhetseba obusemaqhingeni olahlekiso; 15síthi ke, sinyanisekile eluthandweni, sikhulele, ngeendawo zonke, kuye lo uyintloko, uKristu; 16ekuphuma kuye ukuthi, umzimba wonke uhlangane kakuhle, ubandakanywe ngako konke ukuxhomekelelana kwamalungu okuluncedo, okusebenza ngomlinganiso weendawo zonke ngazinye, ukhulise umzimba, use ekuzakheni ngothando.
Ubomi obudala nobutsha
17Ke ngoko, oku ndiyakuthetha ndikungqine ndiseNkosini, ukuthi, maningabi sahamba njengoko zihamba ngako nezinye iintlanga, ngamampunge engqiqo yazo, 18zénziwe mnyama iingqondo, zingazani nobomi bukaThixo ngenxa yokungazi okukuzo, ngenxa yokuqaqadeka kwentliziyo yazo; 19abathe bona, bengasaziva, bazinikela eburheletyweni, ukuze basebenze ukungcola konke, bebawa.
20Ke nina animfundanga ngokunjalo uKristu, 21ukuba kambe ningaba nimvile, nafundiswa nikuye, njengoko inyaniso ikuye uYesu; 22yokuba nithi ngakwihambo yangaphambili nimlahle umntu omdala, owonakaliswayo ngokokweenkanuko zokulukuhla; 23nihlaziywe ke kuwo umoya wengqiqo yenu, 24nimambathe umntu omtsha, othe ngokukaThixo wadalelwa ebulungiseni, nasebungcweleni benyaniso.
Imiyalo yobomi bemihla ngemihla
25Kungoko ke ndithi, lahlani ubuxoki, thethani inyaniso elowo nommelwane wakhe; ngokuba singamalungu, omnye elelomnye. 26Qumbani, ningoni; ilanga malingade litshone nicaphukile; 27kananjalo musani ukumkhwelela indawo uMtyholi lo. 28Lowo ubayo makangabi seba; kanye ke makabulaleke esebenza okulungileyo ngezandla zakhe, ukuze abe nako ukwabela osweleyo. 29Makungaphumi nanye intetho ebolileyo emlonyeni wenu; mayibe yesukuba ilungele ukuxuma oko kuluncedo, ukuze ibabale abevayo.
30Kanjalo musani ukumenza buhlungu uMoya oyiNgcwele kaThixo, enathi kuye natywinwa, naqiniselelwa imini yentlawulelo.
31Mabukhweleliswe kuni bonke ubukrakra, nomsindo, nengqumbo, nengcolo, nonyeliso, ndawonye nolunya lonke. 32Ke nina yibani nobubele omnye komnye, nibe nemfesane kakhulu, nixolelane, njengokuba naye uThixo wanixolelayo ekuKristu.
