UmShumayeli 2:18-23

Yebo, ngazonda wonke umshikashika wami engangiwushikashika phansi kwelanga, lokhu ngabona ukuthi ngizakuwushiya kumuntu ofika emva kwami. Ngubani owaziyo, uma eyakuba ngumuntu ohlakaniphileyo noma isiwula na? Nokho uyakubusa phezu kwawo wonke umshikashika wami engiwushikashikile nengihlakaniphele kuwo phansi kwelanga. Nalokho kuyize. Ngase ngibuye ngaphela ithemba ngawo wonke umshikashika engangiwushikashikile phansi kwelanga. Ngokuba kukhona umuntu omshikashika wakhe wenziwe ngokuhlakanipha, nangokwazi, nangekhono, kepha nokho uyakuwunikeza kumuntu ongawushikashikanga kube yisabelo sakhe. Nalokho kuyize nobubi obukhulu. Ngokuba umuntu unanzuzoni yawo wonke umshikashika wakhe nokukhandleka kwenhliziyo yakhe akushikashikile phansi kwelanga na? Ngokuba zonke izinsuku zakhe zinobuhlungu, nomsebenzi wakhe ulusizi; yebo, nasebusuku inhliziyo yakhe ayiphumuli; nalokho kuyize.
