Njengabantwana abalalelayo ningalingisi izinkanuko zakuqala ekungazini kwenu, kodwa njengowanibizayo engcwele, manibe ngcwele nani ekuhambeni konke, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Manibe ngcwele, ngokuba mina ngingcwele.” Uma nimbiza ngokuthi Baba yena owahlulela yilowo nalowo ngokwemisebenzi yakhe engakhethi buso, anohamba ngokwesaba esikhathini sokuhlala kwenu ebufokazini, nazi ukuthi anihlengwanga ekuhambeni kwenu okuyize enakunikezwa ngawoyihlo ngezinto ezibhubhayo, isiliva negolide, kodwa ngegazi elinqabileyo likaKristu kungathi elewundlu elingenacala, elingenabala; owaziwa phakade, izwe lingakasekelwa, kepha wabonakaliswa ngezikhathi zokugcina ngenxa yenu enikholwa nguNkulunkulu ngaye, owamvusa kwabafileyo nowamnika inkazimulo, ukuze ukukholwa kwenu kube nethemba kuNkulunkulu. Senihlambululile imiphefumulo yenu ngokulalela iqiniso, nize nithande abazalwane ngokungazenzisi, thandanani ngokupheleleyo omunye nomunye ngenhliziyo, senizelwe kabusha kungengambewu ephelayo kodwa ngengapheliyo, ngezwi eliphilileyo nelimiyo likaNkulunkulu, ngokuba, “Yonke inyama injengotshani, nobukhosi bayo bonke bunjengembali yotshani; utshani buyabuna, nembali iyavuthuluka, kepha izwi leNkosi limi kuze kube phakade.” Yilo leli zwi levangeli elashunyayelwa kinina.
