Eyokuqala KwabaseKhorinte 6:1-20
6 Ukhona yini phakathi kwenu othi engaxabana lomunye+ aye emthethwandaba phambi kwabantu abangalunganga kulokuthi aye phambi kwabangcwele?
2 Kalikwazi yini ukuthi abangcwele bazakwahlulela umhlaba?+ Manje nxa lizakwahlulela umhlaba, kalenelisi yini ukwahlulela izindaba lezi ezincane kangaka?
3 Kalikwazi yini ukuthi sizakwahlulela izingilosi?+ Pho kungasehlula njani ukwahlulela izindaba zokuphila kwakhathesi?
4 Nxa lilezindaba ezinje okufanele zahlulelwe,+ kambe selingakhetha ukwahlulelwa ngabantu abeyiswa libandla?
5 Ngitsho njalo ukuze libe lenhloni. Kanti kakho loyedwa phakathi kwenu ohlakaniphileyo ongenelisa ukwahlulela abafowabo?
6 Phela umzalwane uhambisa omunye umzalwane emthethwandaba, khonapho emusa phambi kwabantu abangakholwayo!
7 Nxa limangalelana kutsho ukuthi selinqotshiwe. Akungcono yini ukuvuma ukoniwa?+ Akungcono yini ukuvuma ukuqilwa?
8 Kodwa lina liyona futhi liqile abanye bona bengabafowenu!
9 Kalikwazi yini ukuthi abantu abangalunganga abasoze balithole ilifa loMbuso kaNkulunkulu?+ Lingadukiswa.* Abafebayo,*+ labakhonza izithombe,+ labatshadileyo abalala labantu abangasibomkabo,+ lamadoda avuma ukuya emacansini lamanye amadoda,+ lamadoda ayizitabane,*+
10 lamasela, labayizihwaba,+ lezidakwa,+ labathethisayo* kanye labangamaqili abasoze balithole ilifa loMbuso kaNkulunkulu.+
11 Kodwa abanye benu babenjalo. Lanxa kunjalo, selageziswa lahlanzeka+ futhi selangcweliswa+ kwathiwa lilungile+ ngebizo leNkosi uJesu Khristu langomoya kaNkulunkulu wethu.
12 Kimi zonke izinto zisemthethweni* kodwa ayisizo zonke ezincedayo.+ Kimi zonke izinto zisemthethweni kodwa angisoze ngivume ukuthi kube lento engibusayo.
13 Ukudla ngokwesisu lesisu ngesokudla kodwa uNkulunkulu uzakuqeda kokubili.+ Umzimba kayisiwo wokufeba* kodwa ngoweNkosi+ futhi iNkosi ngeyomzimba.
14 Loba kunjalo, uNkulunkulu wayivusa ekufeni iNkosi+ njalo lathi uzasivusa ekufeni+ ngamandla akhe.+
15 Kalikwazi yini ukuthi imizimba yenu ingamalunga omzimba kaKhristu?+ Pho kufanele ngiwathathe yini amalunga omzimba kaKhristu ngiwahlanganise lesifebe? Ngitsho sibili!
16 Kalikwazi yini ukuthi loba ngubani ozihlanganisa lesifebe uba mzimba munye laso? Phela uNkulunkulu uthi, “bobabili bazakuba nyamanye.”+
17 Kodwa loba ngubani omanyene leNkosi munye layo emoyeni.+
18 Balekelani ubufebe!*+ Loba yisiphi esinye isono umuntu asenzayo asilani lomzimba wakhe kodwa loba ngubani oqhubeka efeba wona umzimba wakhe.+
19 Kalikwazi yini ukuthi umzimba wenu ulithempeli+ elihlala umoya ongcwele ophakathi kwenu eliwuphiwe nguNkulunkulu?+ Kanti njalo kalisibo benu+
20 ngoba lathengwa ngentengo.+ Ngakho khazimulisani uNkulunkulu+ ngemizimba yenu.+
