KuThimothewu 1-5
1Umdala ungamkhuzi, kodwa umkhuze njengoyihlo; namasha njengabafowabo;
2Abesifazane abadala njengawonyoko; abasha njengawodadewenu, ngobuqotho bonke.
3Hlonipha abafelokazi abangabafelokazi isibili.
4Kepha uma umfelokazi enabantwana noma enabazukulwane, labo-ke mabafunde kuqala ukuhlonipha ekhaya, babuyisele umvuzo kubazali babo, ngokuba lokho kuhle kuyabongeka phambi kukaNkulunkulu.
5Kepha yena ongumfelokazi osele yedwa uthembele kuNkulunkulu, uhlala ekunxuseni nasekukhulekeni ubusuku nemini.
6Kepha ophila ekuzijabuliseni ufile esekhona.
7Laya ngalezizinto, ukuze bangabi lacala.
8Kepha uma umuntu engabondli abakhe, ikakhulu abendlu yakhe, ukulahlile ukukholwa, mubi kunongakholwayo.
9Kangabalwa umfelokazi oleminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha, engowendodanye;
10Kufakazelwe kahle ngemisebenzi emihle; uma ondle abantwana, uma engenise izihambi, uma egezile izinyawo zabangcwele, uma esize abahluphekayo, uma ekhuthalele wonke umsebenzi omuhle.
11Kepha abafelokazi abasha ubala;
12belahlwa, ngoba belahlile ukholo lwabo lokuqala.
13Futhi phezu kwalokho bafunda ukuvilapha, bezulazula izindlu ngezindlu; futhi kabayivilaphi kuphela, kodwa futhi izihlebi, nabangena shi, bekhuluma okungafanele.
14Ngakho-ke ngithanda ukuba abesifazane abasha bagane, bazale, baphathe umuzi, banganiki isitha ithuba lokuthuka.
15Ngoba abanye sebephambukile balandela uSathane.
16Uma okholwayo owesilisa noma owesifazane enabafelokazi, makabasize, ibandla lingasindwa; ukuze lisize abangabafelokazi isibili.
17Amalunga aphatha kahle makabalwe njengabafanele ukutuswa ngokuphindiweyo, ikakhulu lawo asebenza kanzima ezwini nasekufundiseni.
18Ngoba umbhalo uthi: Ungayifaki isifonyo inkabi lapho ibhula. Futhi: Isisebenzi sifanele umvuzo waso.
19Ungalamukeli ukumangalelwa ngelunga, ngaphandle kofakazi ababili noma abathathu.
20Abonayo ubasole phambi kwabo bonke, ukuze labanye besabe.
21Ngiyakuyala phambi kukaNkulunkulu, neNkosi uJesu Kristu, nezingelosi ezikhethiweyo, ukuba uzigcine lezo zinto ngaphandle kokukhetha kuqala, ungenzi lutho ngokukhetha abantu.
22Ungasheshi ubeke izandla phezu komuntu, futhi ungahlanganyeli ezonweni zabanye; zigcine uhlanzekile.
23Ungabe usaphuza amanzi, kodwa sebenzisa iwayini eliyingcosana ngenxa yesisu sakho nobuthakathaka bakho obuvamileyo.
24Izono zabanye zisobala, zibandulela ukuya ekwahlulelweni; labanye bayabalandela.
25Ngokunjalo nemisebenzi emihle isobala ngaphambili; lalezo ezingenjalo azinakufihlwa.
