₁Amaxesha ngamaxesha mandulo uThixo wathetha nookhokho bethu ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo ngomlomo *wabashumayeli. ₂Kodwa ke kula maxesha okugqibela uthethe nathi ngoNyana wakhe.

Utsho ngani wena ukuthi mandinibonise uBawo? ₁₀Ngaba akukholwa na okokuba mna ndikuye uBawo, abe noBawo ekum? Endikuthethileyo kuni ke andikuthethi kuphuma kum. Oko ndikwenzayo kwenziwa nguBawo ohleli kum. ₁₁Kholwani kwendikuthethayo xa ndithi ndikuye uBawo, ekum noBawo. Ukuba anikholwa kuba ndisitsho, kholwani ngenxa yezinto endizenzayo.

₂Kaloku umnike igunya eluntwini, ukuze bonke abo umnike bona, abe nako ukubanika obona bomi bungenasiphelo.
