EkaJakobe 4:4-10

Ziphingi, anazi yini ukuthi ukuthanda izwe kungubutha kuNkulunkulu na? Ngakho-ke lowo othanda ukuba ngumngani wezwe, uzenza isitha sikaNkulunkulu. Nicabanga ukuthi kuyize yini lokhu okushiwo wumbhalo, othi: “Umoya awubeka kithi uwunxanela ngomhawu” na? Kepha unikeza umusa kakhulu ngakho, uthi: “UNkulunkulu umelana nabazidlayo, kodwa abathobekileyo ubapha umusa.” Ngakho-ke thobelani uNkulunkulu, nimelane noSathane, khona eyakunibalekela. Sondelani kuNkulunkulu, naye uyakusondela kini. Hlanzani izandla, nina zoni, nihlambulule izinhliziyo, nina bonhliziyombili. Yibani lusizi, nibubule, nikhale; ukuhleka kwenu makuphenduke ukububula, nokujabula kube ngukujabha. Zithobeni ebusweni beNkosi, khona iyakuniphakamisa.
