Izixwayiso Zokucina

1 Ukuza kwami kini lokhu kuzakuba ngokwesithathu. “Izindaba zonke kumele ziqiniswe yibufakazi babantu ababili loba abathathu.”

2 Ngavela ngalixwayisa lapho ngangilani okwesibili. Ngiyakuphinda njalo ngingekho: Ekubuyeni kwami futhi angiyikubayekela labo abenza izono ngaphambili loba nguwuphi wabanye, 3 njengoba lifuna ubufakazi bokuthi uKhristu ukhuluma ngami. Yena kabuthakathaka ekuliphatheni kwakhe, kodwa ulamandla phakathi kwenu.

4 Ngoba ngeqiniso, wabethelwa ebuthakathakeni, ikanti uyaphila ngamandla kaNkulunkulu. Ngokufanayo, sibuthakathaka kuye, ikanti ngamandla kaNkulunkulu sizaphila laye ukuba silisebenzele.

5 Zihloleni ukuba libone langabe lisekukholweni; zihloleni. Kaliboni yini ukuthi uKhristu uJesu uphakathi kwenu – ngaphandle nje kokuba lehluleke ekuhlolweni? 6 Ngithemba ukuba lizafumana ukuthi thina kasisibo abehlulekileyo ekuhlolweni.

7 Siyakhuleka kuNkulunkulu ukuba lingenzi lutho olubi. Kungayisikho ukuba abantu babone ukuthi sifanele kodwa ukuba lina lenze okulungileyo lanxa singakhanya singabehlulekileyo.

8 Ngoba asingeke senze lutho oluphambene leqiniso, kodwa olweqiniso kuphela.

9 Siyathokoza lapho singabe sibuthakathaka kodwa lina liqinile; njalo umkhuleko wethu ngowokuba lipheleliswe. 10 Yikho nje ngiloba izinto lezi nxa ngingekho, ukuze kuthi ekufikeni kwami ngingabi lukhuni ekusebenziseni kwami amandla – amandla engiwaphiwe yiNkosi okulakha, hatshi ukulidiliza.

Ukuvalelisa

11 Okokucina, bazalwane, salani kuhle. Funani ukuphelela, lilalele isicelo sami, libe ngqondo yinye, lihlale ngokuthula. UNkulunkulu wothando lokuthula uzakuba lani.

12 Bingelelanani ngokwanga okungcwele.

13 Bonke abangcwele bayalibingelela.

14 Sengathi umusa weNkosi uJesu Khristu, lothando lukaNkulunkulu, lokuhlanganyela kukaMoya oNgcwele kungaba lani lonke.
