Isahluko 2
1Nami, bazalwane, ekufikeni kwami kini angifikanga ngobungcweti bokukhuluma nobokuhlakanipha, ngimemezele kini ubufakazi bukaNkulunkulu.
2
Ngokuba nganquma ukuthi angiyikwazi okunye phakathi kwenu, kuphela uJesu Kristu, lowo obethelwe esiphambanweni.
3
Mina ngangikini ngobuthakathaka, nangokwesaba, nangokuthuthumela okukhulu;
4
nokukhuluma kwami nokushumayela kwami akubanga ngamazwi okuhlakanipha ahungayo, kepha kwaba ngesibonakaliso sikaMoya nesamandla,
5
ukuze ukukholwa kwenu kungemi ngokuhlakanipha kwabantu, kume ngamandla kaNkulunkulu.
6
Kepha ukuhlakanipha sikukhuluma phakathi kwabapheleleyo, ukuhlakanipha kambe okungesikho okwalesi sikhathi nokwababusi balesi sikhathi, ababhubhayo.
7
Kodwa sikhuluma ukuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu emfihlakalweni efihliweyo uNkulunkulu akumisela ngaphambili kube yinkazimulo yethu, kusukela kwaphakade,
8
okungaziwa namunye wababusi balesi sikhathi; ngokuba uma bebekwazi, babengayikuyibethela esiphambanweni iNkosi yenkazimulo;
9
kepha kunjengokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Lokho iso elingakubonanga, nendlebe engakuzwanga, okungavelanga enhliziyweni yamuntu, uNkulunkulu akulungisela abamthandayo.”
10
Ngokuba kithina uNkulunkulu ukwambulile ngoMoya; ngokuba uMoya uhlolisisa konke, yebo, nokujulileyo kukaNkulunkulu.
11
Ngokuba ngumuphi kubantu owazi okomuntu, uma kungesiye umoya womuntu okuye na? Ngokunjalo nokukaNkulunkulu akwaziwa muntu, kuphela nguMoya kaNkulunkulu.
12
Kepha thina asamukelanga umoya wezwe kodwa umoya ovela kuNkulunkulu, ukuze sikwazi esikuphiwe nguNkulunkulu ngomusa,
13
esikhuluma ngakho futhi, kungengamazwi afundiswa ngukuhlakanipha kwabantu kodwa afundiswa nguMoya, sichaza okomoya ngokomoya.
14
Umuntu wemvelo kakwamukeli okukaMoya kaNkulunkulu, ngokuba kungubuwula kuye; angekuqonde, ngokuba kubonisiswa ngokomoya.
15
Kepha ongowomoya ubonisisa konke, kodwa yena kabonisiswa muntu.
16
Ngokuba ngubani owake wazi umqondo weNkosi ukuba angaze ayifundise na? Kepha thina sinomqondo kaKristu.
