Dlulisela

Kodwa ngcwelisani iNkosi uNkulunkulu ezinhliziyweni zenu, njalo lilungele ukuphendula wonke umuntu olibuza ngesizatho sethemba elikini, ngobumnene langokwesaba; Lilonembeza omuhle; ukuze kuthi lapho benihleba ngokungathi ningabenzi bokubi, bajabhe labo abaqamba amanga ukuziphatha kwenu okuhle kuKristu.

Ngokuba amehlo eNkosi aphezu kwabalungileyo, nezindlebe zayo zisemikhulekweni yabo; kepha ubuso beNkosi bumelene nabenza okubi.

Ukuhloba kwenu makungabi ngokokwangaphandle, okokwaluka izinwele, nokokufaka igolide, noma okokwembatha izingubo; Kodwa makube ngumuntu osithekileyo wenhliziyo, ekuhlobeni okungaboliyo, okungomoya omnene onokuthula, okuyigugu phambi kukaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba lowo othanda ukuphila, nokubona izinsuku ezinhle, makabambe ulimi lwakhe kokubi, nezindebe zakhe zingakhulumi inkohliso; Makagweme okubi, enze okuhle; makafune ukuthula, akulandele.

Elokugcina manibe nomqondo munye nonke, nihawukelane, nithandane njengabazalwane, nihawukele, nibe nomusa; ningaphindiseli okubi ngokubi, nokuthuka ngokuthuka, kodwa ngokuphambene nibusise; nazi ukuthi nabizelwa lokho, ukuze nidle ifa lesibusiso.

Ngubani onganilimaza, uma nilingisa okuhle na?

Makagweme okubi, enze okuhle; makafune ukuthula, akulandele.

Ngokuba kungcono ukuhlupheka ngokwenza okuhle, uma kuyintando kaNkulunkulu, kunokuhlupheka nenza okubi.
