Eyesibili KwabaseKhorinte 3:1-18
3 Sesizethula kutsha yini kini? Kanti lathi njengabanye abantu sekumele sibe lezincwadi zokusikhulumela kini kumbe lezo ezivela kini?
2 Lina liyincwadi yethu+ ebhalwe ezinhliziyweni zethu, eyaziwayo futhi ebalwa ngabantu bonke
3 ngoba kuyazikhanyela ukuthi liyincwadi kaKhristu ebhalwe yithi izinceku zikaNkulunkulu.+ Ibhalwe ngomoya kaNkulunkulu ophilayo hatshi nge-inki njalo ayibhalwanga ematsheni+ kodwa ibhalwe ezinhliziyweni.+
4 NgoKhristu silesibindi sokutsho lokhu phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
5 Ayisikho ukuthi thina yithi esizenza sibe ngabafaneleyo ukwenza umsebenzi lo kodwa nguNkulunkulu osenza sifanele ukuwenza.+
6 Nguye osenze safanela ukuba yizinceku zesivumelwano esitsha,+ hatshi ezoMthetho obhaliweyo+ kodwa ezomoya ngoba uMthetho obhaliweyo ulesigwebo sokufa+ kodwa umoya wona uyaphilisa.+
7 Nxa uMthetho oletha ukufa owawubhalwe ematsheni+ weza ngenkazimulo eyayinkulu okokuthi abantu bako-Israyeli behluleka ukukhangela ubuso bukaMosi ngenxa yenkazimulo eyayisebusweni bakhe,+ inkazimulo eyayizasuswa,
8 kuyini okungenza ukuthi lokho umoya okwenzayo+ kungabi lenkazimulo enkulu kulaleyo?+
9 Nxa uMthetho ogweba abantu ukuthi bafe+ wawulenkazimulo,+ kutsho ukuthi inkonzo eletha ukulunga yona ilenkazimulo enkulu kakhulu!+
10 Phela lalokho okwakulenkazimulo sekuyithathelwe leyonkazimulo ngenxa yenkazimulo enkulu kulakho+
11 ngoba nxa okwakuzasuswa kweza ngenkazimulo,+ kutsho ukuthi okukhona khathesi kulenkazimulo enkulu kakhulu!+
12 Silenkululeko enkulu yokukhuluma njengoba silethemba elinjalo+
13 futhi kasenzi njengoMosi owayevala ubuso bakhe ngeveyili+ ukuze abantu bako-Israyeli bangaqhubeki bekhangele ukuthi okwakuzasuswa kwakuzaphetha ngani.
14 Kodwa ingqondo zabo zazibuthundu.+ Kuze kube khathesi, iveyili leyo iqhubeka ibavalile nxa kubalwa isivumelwano esidala+ ngoba isuswa ngoKhristu kuphela.+
15 Kuze kube lamuhla, nxa kubalwa imibhalo kaMosi+ inhliziyo zabo ziyabe zivalwe ngeveyili.+
16 Kodwa iveyili leyo iyasuswa+ emuntwini nxa ephendukela kuJehova.*
17 UJehova* unguMoya+ futhi lapho okulomoya kaJehova* kulenkululeko.+
18 Sonke esilobuso obungavalwanga ngeveyili sitshengisa inkazimulo kaJehova* njengezibuko, siguqulwa sisiba ngumfanekiso munye, inkazimulo yethu iqhubeke isanda,* njengoba nje uJehova* efuna kube njalo, yena onguMoya.*+
