2 KwabaseKhorinte 12:9-11

Kodwa yathi kimi: “Umusa wami ukwanele, ngokuba amandla ami ayapheleliswa ebuthakathakeni.” Ngakho-ke kunalokho ngiyakujabulela ukuzigabisa ngobuthakathaka bami, ukuze amandla kaKhristu ahlale phezu kwami. Ngalokho ngiyathokoza ebuthakathakeni bami, ekwedelelweni, ebunzimeni, ekuhlushweni, nasebunzimeni bonke ngenxa kaKhristu, ngokuba uma ngibuthakathaka, kulapho-ke nginamandla khona. Sengize ngaba yisiwula; nina ningiphoqile. Ngokuba mina kufanele ngabe nginconywa yinina. Angisilele ngalutho kubaphostoli abaqavile kakhulu, noma ngingento yalutho.
