1 kaPetru 5:1-11

Amalunga aphakathi kwenu ngiyabakhuthaza, mina engimdala, nofakazi wezinhlupheko zikaKristu, nomhlanganyeli enkazimulweni ezakwambulwa; Yalusani umhlambi kaNkulunkulu ophakathi kwenu, niwubheke, kungabi ngokucindezelwa, kodwa ngokuzithandela; kungabi ngenzuzo eyichilo, kodwa ngenhliziyo evumayo; kungabi ngokuba amakhosi phezu kwefa likaNkulunkulu, kodwa nibe yizibonelo emhlambini. Kuyakuthi lapho ebonakala uMalusi omkhulu, niyakwamukeliswa umqhele wenkazimulo ongabuniyo. Ngokunjalo, nina basha, thobelani abadala. Yebo, nonke thobelani omunye komunye, nembathe ukuthobeka, ngokuba uNkulunkulu umelana nabazidlayo, kepha abathobekileyo ubapha umusa. Ngakho zithobeni ngaphansi kwesandla sikaNkulunkulu esilamandla, ukuze azaliphakamisa ngesikhathi esifaneleyo; Niphonse izinkathazo zenu zonke phezu kwakhe; ngoba uyalikhathalela. Zithibeni, niqaphe; ngokuba isitha senu uSathane, njengengonyama ebhongayo, siyahamba sifuna engamshwabadela; melanani naye niqinile ekukholweni, nazi ukuthi zona lezi zinhlupheko ziyafezwa kubazalwane benu abasezweni. Kepha uNkulunkulu womusa wonke owanibizela enkazimulweni yakhe yaphakade ngoKristu Jesu, senihluphekile isikhashana, uyakuniphelelisa, aniqinise, aniqinise, anisekele. Makube kuye inkazimulo namandla kuze kube phakade naphakade. Amen.
