NgokukaMathewu 6:1-8

“Kepha qaphelani ningenzi ukulunga kwenu phambi kwabantu ukuba nibonwe yibo, funa ningabi nawo umvuzo kuYihlo osezulwini. “Ngakho-ke nxa wabela isipho, ungakhalisi icilongo phambi kwakho, njengalokhu kwenza abazenzisi emasinagogeni* nasemigwaqweni ukuba badunyiswe ngabantu. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewamukele umvuzo wabo. Kepha wena, nxa wabela isipho, isandla sakho sokhohlo masingakwazi esikwenzayo esokunene, ukuze isipho sakho sibe sekusithekeni; noYihlo obona ekusithekeni uzakukuvuza. “Nalapho nikhuleka, ningabi njengabazenzisi, ngokuba bethanda ukukhuleka bemi emasinagogeni* nasezinhlanganweni zezindlela ukuba babonwe ngabantu. Ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Sebewamukele umvuzo wabo. Kepha wena, nxa ukhuleka, ngena ekamelweni lakho, uthi usuvale umnyango wakho ukhuleke kuYihlo osekusithekeni; noYihlo obona ekusithekeni uzakukuvuza. Kodwa nxa nikhuleka, ningathemelezi njengabezizwe, ngokuba bathi bayakuzwiwa ngokukhuluma kwabo okuningi. Ngakho-ke maningafani nabo; ngokuba uYihlo uyakwazi enikuswelayo ningakaceli kuye.
