Isixuku sonke safuna ukumthinta, ngokuba kwakuphuma kuye amandla abaphilisa bonke.

Nibusisiwe nina bakhalayo kalokhu, ngokuba niyakuhleka. Nibusisiwe, nxa abantu benizonda nanxa benicwasa, benithuka, belilahla igama lenu ngokungathi libi ngenxa yeNdodana yomuntu. “Thokozani ngalolo suku, nigxume; ngokuba bhekani, umvuzo wenu mkhulu ezulwini; ngokuba oyise babo benze njalo kubaprofethi.
