4Ngokuba konke okwalotshwa ngaphambili kwalotshelwa ukufundiswa kwethu, ukuze ngokubekezela nangenduduzo yemibhalo sibe nethemba.
5Kepha uNkulunkulu wokubekezela nowenduduzo makaniphe nibe nokuqonda kunye phakathi kwenu ngokukaKristu Jesu, 6ukuze nganhliziyonye nidumise ngamlomo munye uNkulunkulu uYise weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
Bonke mabaphathane ngomoya kaKristu
7Ngalokho yamukelanani, njengalokho noKristu wasamukela, ukuze kudunyiswe uNkulunkulu. 8Ngokuba ngithi uKristu waba yisikhonzi sabasokileyo ngenxa yeqiniso likaNkulunkulu, ukuze aqinise izithembiso ezaphiwa okhokho, 9abezizwe bamdumise uNkulunkulu ngenxa yesihawu sakhe, njengalokho kulotshiwe ukuthi:
“Ngalokho ngiyakukudumisa phakathi kwabezizwe,
ngihubele igama lakho;”
10abuye athi:
“Jabulani nina bezizwe kanye nesizwe sakhe,”
11nokuthi:
“Dumisani iNkosi nina nonke bezizwe,
niyibabaze, nina bantu bonke.”
12Futhi u-Isaya uthi:
“Kuyakuba khona impande kaJesayi,
yena oyakuvuka abuse abezizwe;
abezizwe bayakwethembela kuye.”
13UNkulunkulu wethemba makanigcwalise ngenjabulo yonke nangokuthula konke ekukholweni, ukuze nivame ethembeni ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele.
