Iimphiwo zakaMoya
1Yeke mayelana neemphiwo zakaMoya, bazalwana angithandi bona ningabi nelwazi. 2Niyazi bona lokha nanisesebarhedeni, nathelelwa ngommoya wokudurha kobana nidlhemadlheme ngemva kweenthombembazwa ezingakhulumiko. 3Ngalokho-ke ngiyanitjela bonyana akakho ongakhuluma ngoMoya kaZimu athi: “UJesu akanikelelwe!” Godu akakho umuntu ongathi: “UJesu uyiKosi”, ngaphandle kobana atjho lokho ngoMoya oCwengileko.
4Kunemihlobo eyahlukeneko yezipho kodwana ngoMoya munye. 5Kunemisebenzi eyahlukeneko, kodwana ngeKosi yinye. 6Kunokusebenza okuhlukeneko, kodwana yena uZimu loyo nguye okwenza koke kibo boke abantu. 7Nje-ke omunye nomunye unikelwe ukuzibonakalisa kwakaMoya ukuze kusizeke woke umuntu. 8Omunye uphiwe ngoMoya umlayezo wokuhlakanipha, omunye uphiwe umlayezo welwazi ngaye uMoya loyo. 9Omunye uphiwe ukukholwa ngaye uMoya loyo, omunye uphiwe ezinye izipho zokuphilisa ngaye uMoya loyo. 10Omunye uphiwe amandla wemikarisomraro, omunye uphiwe ukuphorofida, omunye uphiwe ukuhlukanisa imimoya, omunye uphiwe ukukhuluma ngamalimi ahlukeneko, kanti omunye uphiwe ukurhumutjha amalimi lawo. 11Koke lokhu kumsebenzi kaMoya munye, begodu unikela omunye nomunye njengokubona kwakhe.
Umzimba munye unezitho ezinengi
12Umzimba munye, nanyana unezitho ezinengi. Godu nanyana unezitho ezinengi, zibumba umzimba owodwa. Kunjalo-ke nangoKrestu 13ngombana soke sabhajadiswa ngoMoya munye emzimbeni munye nanyana ungabamJuda namkha umGirigi, ikhoboka namkha otjhaphulukileko begodu soke saphiwa uMoya munye kobana sisele kuye.
14Nje-ke umzimba awukakhiwa ngesitho esisodwa kodwana ngezitho ezinengi. 15Nange inyawo lingathi: “Njengombana ngingasiso isandla nje, mina angisingewomzimba”, ngalokho angeze kwalenza bona lingabi yingcenye yomzimba. 16Godu nange indlebe ingathi: “Njengombana ngingasililihlo nje, angisingewomzimba”, ngalokho angeze kwayenza bona ingabi yingcenye yomzimba. 17Nakube umzimba woke bewungaba lilihlo, bewuzokuba kuphi umuzwa wokuzwa na? Nakube umzimba woke bewungaba yindlebe, bewuzokuba kuphi umuzwa wokunukelela na? 18Kodwana uZimu uhlele izitho zomzimba, esinye nesinye sazo saba ngendlela afuna bona sibe ngayo. 19Nabegade zoke njalo zisisitho sinye, umzimba bewuzokuba kuphi na? 20Njengombana kunje, izitho zinengi, kodwana umzimba munye.
21Ilihlo angekhe latjho esandleni lathi: “Wena angikudingi” nehloko angeze yathi eenyaweni: “Nina anginidingi.” 22Esikhundleni salokho, izitho zomzimba ezibonakala inga zibuthakathaka, ziqakatheke khulu. 23Kanti-ke nezitho esicabanga bonyana azikahlonipheki kangako, sizihlonipha khulu. Izitho ezinganasithunzi ziphathwa ngeenhloni khulu, 24khisibe lezo ezinesithunzi azidingi ukuphathwa ngokukhethekileko. UZimu uhlanganise amalungu womzimba bewahloniphisa khulu izitho ezithathelwa phasi 25ukuze kungabikhona ukwahlukana emzimbeni, kodwana izitho zawo zikhathalelane ngokulinganako. 26Nangabe isitho esisodwa siyatlhaga, zoke ezinye zitlhaga kanye naso; nangabe isitho esisodwa siyahlonitjhwa, zoke ezinye zithaba naso.
27Nje-ke nina nimzimba kaKrestu, omunye nomunye wenu uyingcenye yawo. 28Ebandleni, uZimu ujamise koke ngerherho, ukuthoma ngabapostoli, kulandele abaphorofidi, kuze abafundisi bese kuba ngabenza imikarisomraro nalabo abaneemphiwo zokuphilisa, labo abakghona ukusiza abanye, labo abaneemphiwo zokuphatha kanye nalabo abaneemphiwo zokukhuluma ngamalimi ahlukeneko. 29Boke babapostoli na? Babaphorofidi boke na? Babafundisi boke na? Benza imikarisomraro boke na? 30Baneemphiwo zokuphilisa boke na? Boke bakhuluma ngamalimi na? Boke bayarhumutjha na? 31Kodwana tjhisekelani iimphiwo ezikulu.
Nje-ke ngizonikhombisa indlela ezidlula zoke.
