Eyesibili KwabaseKhorinte 10:1-18
10 Mina Phawuli ngiyalincenga ngomusa kaKhristu futhi ngimnene.+ Ngikhanya ngingumuntu ophansi nxa ngiphakathi kwenu+ kodwa olesibindi nxa engekho kini.+
2 Ngicela ukuthi nxa ngifika kini kungadingeki ukuthi ngibe lesibindi ngicine sengibakhuza kabuhlungu labo abacabanga ukuthi siphila silandela izifiso zenyama.
3 Lanxa siphila njengabanye abantu, asilwi njengabantu bomhlaba*
4 ngoba izikhali zempi yethu kayisizo zabantu bomhlaba*+ kodwa zilamandla avela kuNkulunkulu+ okudiliza izinto eziqine njengezinqaba.
5 Sidiliza imicabango layo yonke into ephakemeyo ephikisana lolwazi oluphathelane loNkulunkulu+ njalo sithumba yonke imicabango ukuze siyenze ilalele uKhristu.
6 Nxa lina selilalela ngokugcweleyo, siyabe sesikulungele ukujezisa wonke umuntu oqhubeka engalaleli.+
7 Lahlulela izinto ngokuthi zikhangeleka njani. Nxa ekhona ozithembayo ukuthi yena ungokaKhristu, nanku okumele aphinde acabangisise ngakho: Lathi singabakaKhristu njengaye.
8 Lanxa ngingazigqaja kakhulu ngamandla esiwaphiwe yiNkosi okulakha hatshi awokulidiliza,+ angisoze ngiyangeke.
9 Kodwa angifuni kukhanye angathi bengifuna ukulethusa ngezincwadi zami
10 ngoba abanye bathi: “Izincwadi zakhe zilesisindo futhi zilamandla kodwa nxa ekhona uyadeleleka njalo akukhulumayo akuncedi.”
11 Umuntu otsho njalo kananzelele ukuthi esikutshoyo ezincwadini zethu* nxa singekho yikho esizakwenza* sesikhona.+
12 Thina asisoze sizilinganise labaziphakamisayo kumbe siziqathanise labo.+ Kodwa nxa bezahlulela ngalokho abakucabangayo futhi beziqathanisa lalokho abazitshela ukuthi kuqondile, bayabe bengazwisisi.+
13 Lanxa kunjalo, thina asisoze sizigqaje sedlulele ngale kwemingcele ebekiweyo kodwa sizazigqaja phakathi kwemingcele yendawo uNkulunkulu asinike yona, enaba ize izofika lakini.+
14 Nxa sisiza kini siyabe singeqi imingcele njengoba lani liphakathi kwemingcele leyo. Phela yithi esaba ngabokuqala ukufika kini lezindaba ezinhle eziphathelane loKhristu.+
15 Kasizigqaji sedlulele ngale kwemingcele ebekiweyo ngokuzikhukhumeza ngemisebenzi yomunye umuntu kodwa silethemba lokuthi nxa ukholo lwenu luqhubeka lukhula, esikwenzileyo lakho kuzakhuliswa endaweni esitshumayela kuyo. Lapho-ke sizakwenelisa ukwenza okunengi,
16 ukuze sitshumayele izindaba ezinhle emazweni angale kwenu, ukwenzela ukuthi singazigqaji ngalokho osekuvele kwenziwe endaweni yomunye.
17 “Kodwa ozigqajayo kazigqaje ngoJehova,”*+
18 ngoba ozincomayo kayisuye owamukelwayo,+ kwamukelwa lowo onconywa nguJehova.*+
