1 kaPetru 4
1Ngakho-ke njengalokhu uKristu wahlupheka ngenxa yethu enyameni, hlomani nani kanjalo umqondo ofanayo;
2ukuze isikhathi esiseleyo enyameni angabe esaphila ezinkanukweni zabantu, kodwa ngentando kaNkulunkulu.
3Ngoba isikhathi esidluleyo sasenele ukwenza intando yabezizwe, lapho sasihamba emanyaleni, ezinkanukweni, ekunatheni, ekunatheni, ekunatheni, nasekukhonzeni izithombe okuyichilo;
4Ngokuba kuyamangala ukuthi kaligijimi kanye labo kulowo mkhuba wokungathembeki, bekhuluma kabi ngani;
5abayakulandisa kuye olungele ukwahlulela abaphilayo nabafileyo.
6Ngoba ngenxa yalokhu ivangeli latshunyayelwa lakwabafileyo, ukuze bahlulelwe ngokwabantu enyameni, kodwa baphile ngokukaNkulunkulu emoyeni.
7Kepha ukuphela kwakho konke sekusondele;
8Phezu kwakho konke yibani nothando oluvuthayo phakathi kwenu, ngokuba uthando lusibekela inqwaba yezono.
9Phathani omunye komunye ngaphandle kokukhononda.
10Njengalokho yilowo nalowo isipho asamukeleyo, khonzanani ngaso njengabaphathi abalungileyo bomusa omkhulu kaNkulunkulu.
11Uma umuntu ekhuluma, makakhulume njengokwamazwi kaNkulunkulu; uma umuntu ekhonza, makakhonze ngokwamandla awaphiwa nguNkulunkulu, ukuze uNkulunkulu akhazinyuliswe ezintweni zonke ngoJesu Kristu, makube kuye inkazimulo namandla kuze kube phakade naphakade. Amen.
12Bathandekayo, ningamangali ngokulingwa okuvuthayo enibhekene nakho, ngokungathi nehlelwa yisimangaliso;
13Kodwa thokozani, njengoba lingabahlanganyeli bezinhlupheko zikaKristu; ukuze kuthi, lapho sekwambulwa inkazimulo yakhe, nijabule futhi ngentokozo enkulu.
14Uma nihlanjalazwa ngenxa yegama likaKristu, nibusisiwe; ngokuba uMoya wenkazimulo nokaNkulunkulu uhlezi phezu kwenu;
15Kodwa makungabikho kini ohlupheka ngokuba engumbulali, noma eyisela, noma engumenzi wokubi, noma engugaxekile ezindabeni zabanye;
16Kepha uma umuntu ehlupheka ngokuba engumKristu, makangabi namahloni; kodwa makadumise uNkulunkulu ngakho.
17Ngokuba isikhathi sesifikile sokuba ukwahlulela kuqale endlini kaNkulunkulu; uma kuqala kithi, kuyakuba yini ukuphela kwabangalaleli ivangeli likaNkulunkulu na?
18Uma olungileyo esindiswa kalukhuni, ongamesabi uNkulunkulu nesoni uyakuvelaphi na?
19Ngakho-ke abahluphekayo ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu mababeke kuye imiphefumulo yabo ekwenzeni okuhle njengakuMdali othembekileyo.
