1 kaPetru 4:1-8

Ngakho-ke njengalokhu uKristu wahlupheka ngenxa yethu enyameni, hlomani nani kanjalo umqondo ofanayo; ukuze isikhathi esiseleyo enyameni angabe esaphila ezinkanukweni zabantu, kodwa ngentando kaNkulunkulu. Ngoba isikhathi esidluleyo sasenele ukwenza intando yabezizwe, lapho sasihamba emanyaleni, ezinkanukweni, ekunatheni, ekunatheni, ekunatheni, nasekukhonzeni izithombe okuyichilo; Ngokuba kuyamangala ukuthi kaligijimi kanye labo kulowo mkhuba wokungathembeki, bekhuluma kabi ngani; abayakulandisa kuye olungele ukwahlulela abaphilayo nabafileyo. Ngoba ngenxa yalokhu ivangeli latshunyayelwa lakwabafileyo, ukuze bahlulelwe ngokwabantu enyameni, kodwa baphile ngokukaNkulunkulu emoyeni. Kepha ukuphela kwakho konke sekusondele; Phezu kwakho konke yibani nothando oluvuthayo phakathi kwenu, ngokuba uthando lusibekela inqwaba yezono.
