Dlulisela

Akukho ukwesaba othandweni; kepha uthando olupheleleyo luyaxosha ukwesaba, ngokuba ukwesaba kunesijeziso. Owesabayo akapheleliswa othandweni.

Nina ningabakaNkulunkulu, bantwanyana, nibahlulile, ngokuba lowo okini mkhulu kunaye osezweni.

Thina siyamthanda, ngoba yena wasithanda kuqala.

Bathandekayo, masithandane, ngokuba uthando luvela kuNkulunkulu; futhi wonke onothando uzelwe nguNkulunkulu, futhi uyamazi uNkulunkulu.

Ongathandiyo akamazi uNkulunkulu; ngoba uNkulunkulu uluthando.

Uthando lukulokhu, kungesikho ukuthi thina samthanda uNkulunkulu, kodwa ukuthi yena wasithanda, wathuma iNdodana yakhe ibe yinhlawulo ngezono zethu.

Bathandekayo, uma uNkulunkulu wasithanda kanjalo, nathi simelwe ukuthandana.

Ngalokhu uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwabonakaliswa kithi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathumela iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa emhlabeni, ukuze siphile ngayo.

Uma umuntu ethi: “Ngiyamthanda uNkulunkulu,” kepha ezonda umzalwane wakhe, ungumqambimanga

Ovumayo ukuthi uJesu uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, uNkulunkulu uhlala kuye, naye kuNkulunkulu.

Lomyalo sinawo uvela kuye, wokuthi othanda uNkulunkulu makathande nomzalwane wakhe.

Bathandekayo, ningakholwa yibo bonke omoya, kodwa hlolani omoya ukuthi bangabakaNkulunkulu yini; ngokuba baningi abaprofethi bamanga abaphumele ezweni. Yazini uMoya kaNkulunkulu ngalokhu: Bonke omoya abavuma ukuthi uJesu Kristu uzile enyameni bangabakaNkulunkulu

Futhi wonke umoya ongamvumi ukuthi uJesu Kristu uzile enyameni, akasiye okaNkulunkulu; namanje isikhona emhlabeni.
