Umshumayeli 5:10-20

Othanda isiliva akayikusutha ngemali; nothanda inala akanenzuzo; nalokhu kuyize. Lapho kwanda okuhle, bayanda abakudlayo; Ubuthongo besisebenzi bumnandi, noma sidla okuncane noma okuningi; kodwa inala yesicebi ayisoze imenze alale. Kukhona ububi obukhulu engibubonile phansi kwelanga, ingcebo egcinelwe abaniniyo kube kubi kubo. Kodwa leyo ngcebo ibhubha ngomsebenzi omubi, futhi izala indodana, kungekho lutho esandleni sayo. Ekuphumeni kwakhe esizalweni sikanina uyakubuya ahambe ze njengokufika kwakhe, angathathi lutho emshikashikeni wakhe angayiphatha ngesandla sakhe. Futhi futhi kungububi obukhulu, ukuthi uzohamba ngazo zonke izindlela njengoba eze; unanzuzoni yena owashikashikela umoya na? Futhi zonke izinsuku zakhe udla ebumnyameni, futhi unosizi kanye nentukuthelo enkulu ngenxa yokugula kwakhe. Bheka, engakubonayo: kuhle, kumnandi kumuntu ukuba adle, aphuze, athokozele okuhle kuwo wonke umshikashika wakhe awenzayo phansi kwelanga zonke izinsuku zokuhamba kwakhe uNkulunkulu amnika zona; ngoba kuyisabelo sakhe. Futhi wonke umuntu uNkulunkulu amnike ingcebo futhi wamnika amandla okukudla futhi adle kuwo futhi ajabule emsebenzini wakhe; kuyisipho sikaNkulunkulu. Ngokuba akayikucabanga kakhulu ngezinsuku zokuphila kwakhe; ngoba uNkulunkulu uyamphendula ngentokozo yenhliziyo yakhe.
