1Ilunga kuyo inkosikazi ekhethiweyo nabantwana bayo, engibathandayo ngeqiniso; kungemina ngedwa, kodwa nabo bonke abalaziyo iqiniso;
2ngenxa yeqiniso elihlala kithi, elizakuba lathi kuze kube nininini.
3Umusa kawube kini, lesihawu, lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba leNkosini uJesu Kristu, iNdodana kaYise, ngeqiniso lasothandweni.
4Ngijabule kakhulu ngokuba ngifumene kubantwana bakho behamba eqinisweni, njengalokho samukele umyalo kuBaba.
5Manje ngiyakuncenga, nkosikazi, kungengathi ngikulobela umyalo omusha, kodwa lowo esasinawo kwasekuqaleni ukuba sithandane.
6Yilokhu uthando, ukuba sihambe ngokwemiyalo yakhe. Yilo umyalo wokuba nihambe kuwo, njengalokho nezwa kwasekuqaleni.
7Ngokuba abakhohlisi abaningi bangenile ezweni, abangamvumi uJesu Kristu ukuthi uzile enyameni. Lo ungumkhohlisi nomphikukristu.
8Ziqapheleni ukuthi singalahlekelwa yizinto esizisebenzileyo, kodwa ukuze samukele umvuzo opheleleyo.
9Lowo oweqayo, njalo engahlali emfundisweni kaKristu, kalaNkulunkulu; Lowo ohlala emfundisweni kaKristu unabo bobabili uYise neNdodana.
10Uma kufika umuntu kini engalethi lesi sifundiso, ningamamukeli endlini yenu, ningambulisi;
11Ngoba lowo ombingelelayo uhlanganyela emisebenzini yakhe emibi.
12Nginezinto eziningi zokunilobela zona, angithandi ukunilobela ngephepha noyinki, kodwa ngiyethemba ukuza kini, ngikhulume nani umlomo nomlomo, ukuze intokozo yethu igcwale.
13Abantwana bakadadewenu okhethiweyo bayakubingelela. Amen.
