NgokukaLuka 12:22-34

Wayesethi kubafundi bakhe: “Ngakho-ke ngithi kini: Ningakhathazeki ngokuphila kwenu ukuthi niyakudlani, nangomzimba wenu ukuthi niyakwembathani. Ngokuba ukuphila kukhulu kunokudla, nomzimba kunesambatho. Bhekani izingwababana ukuthi azihlwanyeli, azivuni, azinaxhiba nanqolobane, kepha uNkulunkulu uyazondla; nina nizidlula kakhulu kangakanani izinyoni. Ngumuphi kini ongathi ngokukhathazeka enezele ebudeni bakhe ingalo na? Ngalokho nxa ningenamandla okwenza nokuncinyane, yini ukuba nikhathazeke ngokunye na? “Bhekani iminduze ukuthi imila kanjani; ayiphothi, ayaluki, kepha ngithi kini noSolomoni ebukhazikhazini bakhe bonke wayengembathisile okomunye wayo. Uma uNkulunkulu embathisa kanjalo utshani basendle obukhona namuhla, ngomuso buphonswe eziko, kakhulu kangakanani uyakunembathisa nina eninokukholwa okuncane. Nani maningafuni eniyakukudla neniyakukuphuza; ningakhathazeki. Ngokuba konke lokho kufunwa ngabezizwe bomhlaba, kepha uYihlo uyazi ukuthi niyakudinga lokho. Kodwa funani umbuso wakhe, khona konke lokho kuyakwenezelwa nina. “Ungesabi, mhlambi omncane; ngokuba kwathandeka kuYihlo ukuninika umbuso. Thengisani ngeninakho, niphe abampofu; nizenzele izikhwama ezingagugiyo, ingcebo engapheliyo ezulwini, lapho kungasondeli sela, kungoni nundu khona. Ngokuba lapho kukhona ingcebo yenu, lapho iyakuba khona nenhliziyo yenu.
