EkaJakobe 1:1-7

UJakobe, inceku kaNkulunkulu neyeNkosi uJesu Kristu, uyakhonza kuzo izizwe eziyishumi nambili ezihlakazekileyo. Bazalwane bami, nxa nehlelwa yizilingo ngezilingo, anothi kungukuthokoza kodwa, nazi ukuthi ukuvivinywa kokukholwa kwenu kuveza ukukhuthazela. Kepha ukukhuthazela makube nomsebenzi opheleleyo, ukuze nibe ngabapheleleyo nabangenacala abangasweli lutho. Uma-ke kukhona kini oswela ukuhlakanipha, makacele kuNkulunkulu obapha bonke ngobuhle engajakadi, khona uyakuphiwa. Kepha makacele ngokukholwa engangabazi ngalutho; ngokuba ongabazayo unjengedlambi lolwandle eliqhutshwa, ligujiswa ngumoya. Ngakho makangasho lowo muntu ukuthi uyakwamukeliswa utho yiNkosi
