Kodwa omunye uyakuthi: Abafileyo bavuswa kanjani na? beza ngamuphi umzimba?
Siphukuphuku, lokho okuhlanyelayo kakwenziwa kuphile, ngaphandle kokuthi kufe;
Nalokho okuhlwanyelayo, awuhlwanyeli umzimba oyakuba khona, kepha uhlamvu oluze, kungaba ngekakolweni noma ololunye;
Kepha uNkulunkulu ulunika umzimba njengokuthanda kwakhe, nembewu yonke uyinika owayo umzimba.
Inyama yonke ayinyamanye, kodwa kukhona inyama yabantu, nenye inyama yezilwane, nenye yezinhlanzi, nenye yezinyoni.
Ikhona nemizimba yasezulwini, nemizimba yasemhlabeni, kepha inkazimulo yeyasezulwini iyodwa, nenkazimulo yasemhlabeni iyodwa.
Iyodwa inkazimulo yelanga, nenkazimulo yenyanga iyodwa, nenkazimulo yezinkanyezi iyodwa, ngokuba inkanyezi iyahluka kwenye inkanyezi ngobukhosi.
Kunjalo futhi nokuvuka kwabafileyo. Kuhlwanyelwa kunokonakala; livuswa linokungonakali;
Kuhlwanyelwa kukude; kuhlwanyelwa kunobuthakathaka; livuswa linamandla;
Kuhlwanyelwa kungumzimba wemvelo; kuvuswa kungumzimba womoya. Kukhona umzimba wemvelo, futhi kukhona umzimba womoya.
Kanjalo kulotshiwe ukuthi: Umuntu wokuqala u-Adamu waba ngumphefumulo ophilayo; uAdamu wokugcina waba ngumoya ophilisayo.
Kepha okokuqala akusikho okomoya kepha okwemvelo; ngasemuva lokho okomoya.
Umuntu wokuqala uvela emhlabeni, ungowomhlaba; umuntu wesibili yiNkosi evela ezulwini.
Njengoba enjalo ongowenhlabathi, banjalo labo abangabenhlabathi;
Futhi njengalokhu sinomfanekiso wowomhlaba, siyakuba nomfanekiso wowasezulwini.
Kepha ngisho lokhu, bazalwane, ukuthi inyama negazi akunakulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu; nokubola akulidli ifa lokungonakali.
Bhekani, ngiyanitshela imfihlakalo; Asiyikulala sonke, kepha siyakuguqulwa sonke;
Ngokuphazima kweso, ngokucwayiza kwelihlo, ekukhaleni kwecilongo lokugcina;
Ngoba lokhu okubolayo kumele ukwembatha ukungaboli, lalokhu okufayo kumele ukwembatha ukungafi.
Njalo-ke nxa lokhu okubolayo sekwembethe ukungonakali, lalokhu okufayo sekwembethe ukungafi, kuzagcwaliseka ilizwi elilotshiweyo elithi: Ukufa kuginyiwe ekunqobeni.
Kufa, luphi udosi lwakho na? Thuna, kuphi ukunqoba kwakho na?
Udosi lokufa yisono; lamandla esono ngumthetho.
Kodwa makabongwe uNkulunkulu osinika ukunqoba ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, yibani ngabagxilile, abangaxegiyo, abavame njalo emsebenzini weNkosi, nazi ukuthi ukusebenza kwenu akusilo ize eNkosini.
