1 Ngakho-ke masidlule esifundisweni sokuqala ngoKristu, siqhubekele kokupheleleyo, singabuyi sibeke isisekelo sokuphenduka emisebenzini efileyo, nokukholwa nguNkulunkulu,
2 nesifundiso sombhapathizo nokubeka izandla, nokuvuka kwabafileyo nokwahlulelwa okuphakade.
3 Siyakukwenza lokho, uma uNkulunkulu evuma.
4 Ngokuba akunakwenzeka ukuba labo asebake bakhanyiswa banambitha isiphiwo sasezulwini, benziwa abahlanganyeli kuMoya oNgcwele,
5 banambitha izwi elihle likaNkulunkulu namandla ezwe elizayo,
6 babuye bahlubuka — akunakwenzeka ukuba babuye bavuswe, baphenduke, lokhu sebezibethelela iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, bayithela ngehlazo obala.
7 Ngokuba umhlabathi, ophuze imvula efika kaningi phezu kwawo, umilisa imifino ebasizayo abawulinyelwayo, uyabusiswa nguNkulunkulu;
8 kepha uma uveza ameva nekhakhasi, uyaleka, useduze nokuqalekiswa, ukuphela kwawo ngukushiswa.
9 Kepha siyethemba ngani bathandekayo okuhle kunalokho, ngisho okuqondene nokusindiswa, noma sikhuluma kanje.

15 kanjalo kwathi esebekezele, wakuzuza okwathenjiswayo.
16 Ngokuba abantu bafunga omkhulu kunabo; kubona isifungo siyaqeda ukuphikisana konke, siqinise.
17 Kulokhu-ke uNkulunkulu, ethanda kakhulu impela ukubonisa izindlalifa zesithembiso ukungaguquleki kwecebo lakhe, walamula ngesifungo,
18 ukuze ngezinto ezimbili ezingeguquleke, uNkulunkulu angeqambe amanga ngazo, sibe nenduduzo enamandla thina esibalekele ekulibambeni ithemba esilimiselweyo,
19 esinalo njengehange lomphefumulo, liqinile, ligxilile, lingena kokungaphakathi kwesihenqo,
20 lapho uJesu eyisigijimi sokusandulela wangena khona, esewaba ngumpristi omkhulu kuze kube phakade ngokokuma kukaMelkisedeki.
