KwabaseKolose 3
1Ngakho-ke uma navuswa kanye noKristu, funani okwaphezulu, lapho ehlezi khona uKristu ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu.
2Nakani okwaphezulu, ningacabangi okusemhlabeni.
3Ngokuba nafa, nokuphila kwenu kufihliwe noKristu kuNkulunkulu.
4Nxa uKristu ongukuphila kwethu esebonakala, khona nani nizakubonakala kanye naye enkazimulweni.
5Ngakho bulalani amalungu enu asemhlabeni; ubufebe, ukungcola, inkanuko, inkanuko embi, lokuhaha, okuyikukhonza izithombe;
6Ngenxa yalezozinto ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwehlela phezu kwabantwana bokungalaleli;
7enanike nahamba kuzo nani, nisahlezi kukho.
8Kepha manje nani lahlani zonke lezi; ulaka, nolaka, nenzondo, nokuhlambalaza, nokukhuluma amanyala emlonyeni wenu.
9Ningaqambelani amanga, lokhu nikhumule umuntu omdala kanye nezenzo zakhe;
10sembathe umuntu omusha, owenziwa musha ekwazini ngokomfanekiso walowo owamdalayo;
11lapho kungekho khona umGreki nomJuda, ukusoka nokungasoki, owezizwe, umSkithe, isigqila noma okhululekile, kepha uKristu uyikho konke, ukubo bonke.
12Ngakho-ke njengabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu, abangcwele nabathandekayo, yembathani izinhliziyo zesihe, umusa, ukuthobeka, ubumnene, nokubekezela;
13nibekezelelana, nithethelelane, uma umuntu enensongo komunye;
14Phezu kwakho konke lokho yembathani uthando, oluyisibopho sokuphelela.
15Ukuthula kukaNkulunkulu makubuse ezinhliziyweni zenu, enabizelwa kukho futhi emzimbeni munye; futhi nibonge.
16Izwi likaKristu malihlale kini ngokucebile kukho konke ukuhlakanipha; nifundisana, niyalane ngamahubo, nangezihlabelelo, nangamaculo okomoya, nihubele ngomusa ezinhliziyweni zenu iNkosi.
17Nanoma yini eniyenzayo, ngezwi noma ngomsebenzi, kwenzeni konke egameni leNkosi uJesu, nimbonge uNkulunkulu uYise ngayo.
18Bafazi, thobelani amadoda enu, njengokufanele eNkosini.
19Madoda, thandani omkenu, ningabazondi.
20Bantwana, lalelani abazali benu ezintweni zonke, ngokuba lokho kuyathandeka eNkosini.
21Boyise, ningabathukuthelisi abantwana benu, funa badangale.
22Nina zinceku, lalelani ezintweni zonke amakhosi enu ngokwenyama; kungabi ngokukhonza kwamehlo njengabathokozisa abantu; kodwa ngobuqotho benhliziyo, ngokwesaba uNkulunkulu;
23Konke enikwenzayo kwenzeni ngenhliziyo, kungathi kwenzelwa iNkosi, hhayi abantu;
24nazi ukuthi niyakwamukela umvuzo wefa eNkosini, ngokuba nikhonza iNkosi uKristu.
25Kepha owenza okubi uyakwamukeliswa okubi akwenzileyo; akukho ukukhetha komuntu.
