4njengoba sezwa ngokukholwa kwenu kuKristu Jesu, nothando eninalo kubo bonke abangcwele.
5Ngokuba ithemba enibekelwe lona ezulwini, enalizwa ngaphambili ngezwi leqiniso levangeli;
6elifikile kini, njengasezweni lonke; lithela isithelo, njengalokhu lisenza lakini, kusukela osukwini elakuzwa ngalo, lawazi umusa kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso;

8owasibikela futhi ngothando lwenu ngoMoya.
9Ngalokho nathi, kusukela osukwini esakuzwa ngalo, asiphezi ukunikhulekela, nokunxusa ukuba nigcwaliswe ukwazi intando yakhe kukho konke ukuhlakanipha nokuqonda kokomoya;
10ukuze nihambe ngokufanele iNkosi ngokuthokozisa konke, nithela kuyo yonke imisebenzi emihle, nikhule ekwazini uNkulunkulu;

17Yena ungaphambi kwazo zonke izinto, futhi zonke izinto zihlangana ngayo.
18Futhi yona iyinhloko yomzimba, ibandla, eyisiqalo, izibulo kwabafileyo; ukuze ibe ngeyokuqala ezintweni zonke.
19Ngokuba kwamthokozisa uBaba ukuthi ukugcwala konke kuhlale kuye;
20esenze ukuthula ngegazi lesiphambano sakhe, abuyisane ngayo zonke izinto; ngaye, noma kungokusemhlabeni, noma okusezulwini.
21Nani enakade nahlukanisiwe futhi niyizitha engqondweni yenu ngemisebenzi emibi, nokho manje usenibuyise ukubuyisana.
22Emzimbeni wenyama yakhe ngokufa, ukuze alethule phambi kwakhe lingcwele, lingelacala, lingelacala.

25engenziwa ngayo isikhonzi ngokohlelo lukaNkulunkulu engiwuphiwe ngenxa yenu, ukugcwalisa izwi likaNkulunkulu;
26ngitsho imfihlakalo ebifihliwe kusukela kudala lezizukulwaneni, kodwa khathesi ibonakalisiwe kwabangcwele bakhe;
27kubo uNkulunkulu athanda ukubazisa ukuthi iyini ingcebo yenkazimulo yale mfihlakalo phakathi kwabezizwe; onguKristu phakathi kwenu, ithemba lenkazimulo;
28esimshumayelayo, sixwayisa wonke umuntu, sifundisa wonke umuntu ngakho konke ukuhlakanipha; ukuze sethule wonke umuntu ephelele kuKristu Jesu;
