1 KaPhethro 2:9-12

Kepha nina niluhlanga olukhethiweyo, ubuphristi basebukhosini, isizwe esingcwele, abantu abangabakaNkulunkulu, ukuze nishumayele ngobuhle balowo owanibiza, ukuba niphume ebumnyameni ningene ekukhanyeni kwakhe okumangalisayo. Nina naningesiso isizwe, kepha manje seniyisizwe sikaNkulunkulu; naningahawukelwanga, kodwa manje senihawukelwe. Bathandekayo, ngiyanincenga njengabafokazi nezihambi ukuba nidede ezinkanukweni zenyama ezilwa nomphefumulo. Ziphatheni kahle phakathi kwabezizwe, ukuze kuthi lapho beninyembenya ngokuthi ningabenzi bokubi, kodwa kuthi lapho bebona imisebenzi yenu emihle, bamdumise uNkulunkulu ngosuku lokuhanjelwa.
