Ngakho-ke kuqala kukho konke ngiyala ukuba ukunxusa, nokukhuleka, nokunxusa, nokubonga kwenzelwe abantu bonke; Ngeyamakhosi, nakubo bonke abakhulu; ukuze siphile impilo ezolileyo lenokuthula kukho konke ukuhlonipha uNkulunkulu lobuqotho. Ngokuba lokhu kuhle, kuyabongeka phambi kukaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu; Othanda ukuba bonke abantu basindiswe, bafinyelele olwazini lweqiniso. Ngokuba munye uNkulunkulu, munye nomlamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu, umuntu uKristu Jesu; owazinikela abe yinhlawulo yabo bonke, kube ngubufakazi ngesikhathi esifaneleyo. Engamiselwa ngakho ukuthi ngibe ngumshumayeli nomphostoli (ngikhuluma iqiniso ngoKristu, angiqambi amanga), umfundisi wabezizwe ekukholweni naseqinisweni.
