Ngoba yiyiphi yezingilosi ake atsho kuyo ukuthi: Wena uyiNdodana yami, lamuhla mina ngikuzele? Futhi futhi: Mina ngiyoba uYise kuyo, futhi uyoba yiNdodana kimi? Futhi lapho eseletha olizibulo emhlabeni, uthi: Nezingelosi zonke zikaNkulunkulu mazikhuleke kuye. Nangezingelosi uthi: “Owenza izingelosi zakhe zibe yimimoya, nezikhonzi zakhe amalangabi omlilo. Kodwa eNdodaneni uthi: Isihlalo sakho sobukhosi, Nkulunkulu, singesaphakade laphakade, intonga yokulunga intonga yombuso wakho.
