| 1. | Ungamkhalimeli omdala, kodwa m eluleke njengoyihlo; abatsha njengabafowenu; |
| 2. | abesifazana abadala njengonyoko; abesifazana abatsha njengabodadewenu, ekuhlambulukeni konke. |
| 3. | Hlonipha abafelokazi abangabafelokazi isibili. |
| 4. | Kodwa uba umfelokazi othile elabantwana loba abazukulu, kabafunde kuqala ukuhlonipha indlu yakwabo, kabenanise umkhondo kubazali; ngoba lokhu kuhle kuyemukeleka phambi kukaNkulunkulu. |

| 8. | Kodwa uba umuntu engondli abakibo, ikakhulu abendlu yakhe, uluphikile ukholo, futhi mubi kulongakholwayo. |
| 9. | Kabalwa umfelokazi ongengaphansi kweminyaka engamatshumi ayisithupha, umfazi owake wenda endodeni kanye, |

| 15. | Ngoba lakhathesi abanye sebephambuke balandela uSathane. |
| 16. | Uba okholwayo owesilisa kumbe okholwayo owesifazana elabafelokazi, kabasize, njalo ibandla lingathwaliswa nzima, ukuze lisize abangabafelokazi isibili. |

| 19. | Ungalemukeli icala elimelana lomdala, ngaphandle phambi kwabafakazi ababili kumbe abathathu. |

| 22. | Ungaphangisi ukubeka izandla phezu komuntu, futhi ungahlanganyeli ezonweni zabanye; uzigcine wena umsulwa. |
| 23. | Ungabe usanatha amanzi wodwa, kodwa sebenzisa iwayini elilutshwana, ngenxa yesisu sakho lemikhuhlane yakho futhifuthi. |
| 24. | Izono zabanye abantu zisobala, zibaqalela ukuya ekugwetshweni; kanti ezabanye ziyalandela. |
| 25. | Ngokunjalo lemisebenzi emihle isobala; laleyo eyehlukileyo ingeke ifihlakale. |
