Abantwana Nabazali
1 Bantwana, hloniphani abazali benu eNkosini, ngokuba lokho kulungile. 2 Hlonipha uyihlo nonyoko, okungumyalelo wokuqala onesithembiso: 3 ukuze kube kuhle kuwe, uhlale kade emhlabeni. 4 Nani boyise, ningabathukuthelisi abantwana benu, kodwa nibondle ngokuyala nangokuqondisa kweNkosi.
Iziluleko Kuzo Izinceku Namakhosi
5 Zinceku, hloniphani abangamakhosi enu ngokwenyama, ngokwesaba, ngokuthuthumela nangobuqotho benhliziyo yenu, kube sengathi kukuKhristu. 6 Ningathengi amehlo njengabathokozisa abantu; kodwa njengezinceku zikaKhristu, yenzani intando kaNkulunkulu ngenhliziyo. 7Khonzani ngenhliziyo ephelele kungathi nikhonza iNkosi, hhayi abantu, 8 nazi ukuthi yilowo nalowo owenza okuhle uzakwemukela okunjalo eNkosini, noma ngabe uyinceku noma ungokhululekileyo.
9 Nani makhosi, yenzani kanjalo ezincekwini, niyeke ukuzisongela, nazi ukuthi iNkosi yazo neyenu isezulwini, nokuthi kuyo akukho ukukhetha umuntu.
