| 22. | Ngoba lamaJuda acela isibonakaliso, lamaGriki adinga inhlakanipho; |
| 23. | kodwa thina sitshumayela uKristu obethelweyo, isikhubekiso kumaJuda, lobuthutha kumaGriki; |
| 24. | kodwa kulabo ababiziweyo, kumaJuda kanye lakumaGriki, uKristu amandla kaNkulunkulu lenhlakanipho kaNkulunkulu; |
| 25. | ngoba ubuthutha bukaNkulunkulu buhlakaniphile kulabantu, lobuthakathaka bukaNkulunkulu bulamandla kulabantu. |

| 28. | lezinto eziphansi zomhlaba lezinto ezidelelekayo uNkulunkulu uzikhethile, lezinto ezingekho, ukuze enze zibe yize izinto ezikhona; |
| 29. | ukuze kungabikho inyama ezincomayo phambi kwakhe. |
| 30. | Kodwa kuye lina likuKristu Jesu, owenzelwa thina inhlakanipho evela kuNkulunkulu, lokulunga, lokungcweliswa, lohlengo, |
| 31. | ukuze, njengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Ozincomayo, kazincome eNkosini. |
