Ingxenye yesine yehini lewayini njengomnikelo wokuphuzwayo uyakuyilungisa kanye nomnikelo wokushiswa noma umhlatshelo ngewundlu elilodwa. Noma ngenqama kumelwe ulungisele umnikelo wokusanhlamvu izingxenye ezimbili eshumini zikafulawa oxutywe nengxenye yesithathu yehini lamafutha. Njalo uzalungisa ingxenye yesithathu yehini lewayini njengomnikelo wokunathwayo, libe yiphunga elimnandi eNkosini. Uma ulungisa ijongosi libe ngumnikelo wokushiswa noma libe ngumhlatshelo wesithembiso noma iminikelo yokubonga kuJehova, Kumelwe alethe umnikelo womlilo wezingxenye ezintathu zokweshumi zempuphu ecolekileyo exovwe nengxenye yehini lamafutha kanye nenkunzi. Kumelwe ulethe inxenye yehini lewayini libe ngumnikelo wokuphuzwayo, libe ngumnikelo womlilo wephunga elimnandi kuJehova. Kumelwe kwenziwe kanjalo ngenkunzi eyodwa noma ngenqama eyodwa noma ngewundlu noma izinyane lembuzi. Ngokwesibalo eniyakusilungisa, nikwenze njalo kuzo yileso naleso ngokwesibalo sazo. Wonke umuntu ozelwe ezweni kumelwe enze lezi zinto ngale ndlela ngokunikela ngomnikelo womlilo onephunga elimnandi kuJehova. “ ‘Uma umfokazi egogobele kini, noma ophakathi kwenu ezizukulwaneni zenu, eletha umnikelo womlilo omnandi kuJehova, njengoba wenza, kanjalo Naye uzokwenza. Kumelwe kube yisimiso kini, ebandleni nakumfokazi ogogobeleyo kini, kube yisimiso esiphakade ezizukulwaneni zenu; njengoba unjalo wena, umfokazi makabe njalo phambi kukaJehova. Kuyosebenza umthetho owodwa nendlela eyodwa kini nakumfokazi ogogobeleyo kini. UJehova wakhuluma kuMose, wathi: Khuluma kubantwana bakoIsrayeli uthi kubo: Nxa lifika elizweni engizaliletha kulo, Khona-ke kumelwe, uma nidla isinkwa sezwe, ninikele ngomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova. Kumelwe nilethe iqebelengwane lokuqala lenhlama yenu libe ngumnikelo wokuphakanyiswa; njengalokhu nenza umnikelo wokuphakanyiswa wesibuya, niyakuwuphakamisa kanjalo. Kolibo lwenhlama yenu niyakunikela ngomnikelo wokuphakanyiswa kuJehova ezizukulwaneni zenu.
