6  Njengoba sisebenza loNkulunkulu,+ siyalikhuthaza ukuthi lingathi selamukele umusa wakhe omkhulu beselilahlekelwa yinhloso yawo.+ 2  Yena uthi: “Ngesikhathi sokwamukelwa ngakuzwa, ngakunceda ngelanga lensindiso.”+ Zwanini! Khathesi yiso kanye isikhathi sokwamukelwa! Leli yilo ilanga lensindiso! 3  Kasenzi izinto ezingakhuba abanye ukuze inkonzo yethu ingasolwa.+ 4  Sitshengisa ngezindlela zonke ukuthi siyizikhonzi zikaNkulunkulu:+ Saqinisela ezilingweni ezinengi, lekuhluphekeni, lezikhathini zokuswela lasebunzimeni.+ 5  Satshaywa, safakwa emajele,+ savukelwa ngabantu futhi sasebenza nzima. Sasingalali ebusuku njalo kwezinye izikhathi sasiswela ukudla.+ 6  Simsulwa, silolwazi, siyabekezela,+ silomusa,+ silomoya ongcwele futhi silothando lweqiniso.+ 7  Sikhuluma iqiniso, sithembele emandleni kaNkulunkulu,+ sithwala izikhali zokulunga+ esandleni sokudla* lakwesenxele.* 8  Silenkazimulo lehlazo, siyachothozwa njalo siyanconywa. Bathi singamaqili kodwa thina sikhuluma iqiniso,  9  bathi kasaziwa kodwa siyaziwa, bathi siyafa* kodwa nanko siyaphila!+ Bathi siyajeziswa* kodwa kasibulawa,+ 10  bathi sisosizini kodwa sihlala sithokoza, bathi siyadubeka kodwa sinothisa abanengi, bathi asilalutho kodwa silezinto zonke.+ 11  Sivule imilomo yethu ukuze sikhulume lani* bantu beKhorinte njalo inhliziyo zethu sizivule ngokupheleleyo. 12  Silipha lonke uthando lwethu, asincitshani.+ Kodwa lina alisithandi kangako, liyancitshana lothando lwenu. 13  Ngikhuluma lani angathi lingabantwabami ngisithi yenzani njengathi, lizivule ngokupheleleyo inhliziyo zenu.+ 14  Lingabotshelwa ejogweni linye* labangakholwayo.+ Kulobudlelwano bani phakathi kokulunga lobubi?+ Kulokuhambelana bani phakathi kokukhanya lobumnyama?+ 15  Kanti kulokuvumelana bani phakathi kukaKhristu loBheliyali?*+ Kulokuhambelana bani* phakathi komuntu okholwayo lomuntu ongakholwayo?+ 16  Kulokuvumelana bani phakathi kwethempeli likaNkulunkulu lezithombe?+ Phela thina silithempeli likaNkulunkulu ophilayo,+ njengoba nje uNkulunkulu wathi: “Ngizahlala phakathi kwabo+ ngihambe phakathi kwabo futhi ngizakuba nguNkulunkulu wabo, bona babe ngabantu bami.”+ 17  “‘Yikho phumani kubo, lehlukane labo,’ kutsho uJehova,* ‘njalo lingathinti into engcolileyo’”;+ “‘mina ngizalamukela.’”+ 18  “‘Ngizakuba nguyihlo+ lina libe ngamadodana lamadodakazi ami,’+ kutsho uJehova* uSomandla.”
