NgokukaMathewu 6:25-33

“Ngalokho-ke ngithi kini: Ningakhathazeki ngokuphila kwenu ukuthi niyakudlani noma niyakuphuzani, nangomzimba wenu ukuthi niyakwembathani. Ukuphila akukukhulu kunokudla nomzimba kunesambatho na? Bukani izinyoni zezulu ukuthi azihlwanyeli, azivuni, azibekeleli ezinqolobaneni; nokho uYihlo wasezulwini uyazondla. Nina kanizidluli kakhulu na? Ngumuphi kini ongelekela ebudeni bakhe ingalo ibe nye ngokukhathazeka na? “Nikhathazekelani ngesambatho na? Qaphelani iminduze yasendle ukuthi imila kanjani; kayikhandleki, kayiphothi; kepha ngithi kini: NoSolomoni ebukhazikhazini bakhe bonke wayengembathisile okomunye wayo. Uma uNkulunkulu embathisa kanjalo utshani basendle obukhona namuhla, ngomuso buphonswe eziko, akayikunembathisa kakhulu nina eninokukholwa okuncane na? Ngakho-ke ningakhathazeki nithi: ‘Siyakudlani?’ noma: ‘Siyakuphuzani?’ noma: ‘Siyakwembathani na?’ Ngokuba konke lokhu abezizwe bayakufunisisa; ingani uYihlo wasezulwini uyazi ukuthi niyakudinga konke lokhu. Kodwa funani kuqala umbuso kaNkulunkulu nokulunga kwakhe, khona konke lokhu kuyakwenezelwa nina.
