| 3. | ngoba nxa besithi: Ukuthula lokuhlala kuhle, khona ukubhujiswa okujumayo kuzabehlela, njengomhelo kowesifazana okhulelweyo, njalo kabasoze baphunyuke. |
| 4. | Kodwa lina, bazalwane, kalikho emnyameni, ukuze lolosuku luliphuthume njengesela; |
| 5. | lina lonke lingabantwana bokukhanya labantwana bemini; kasisibo abobusuku loba abobumnyama; |
| 6. | ngakho-ke asingalali njengabanye labo, kodwa asilinde siqonde. |
| 7. | Ngoba abalalayo balala ebusuku; labadakwayo badakwa ebusuku. |
| 8. | Kodwa thina esingabemini, asiqonde, sifake isivikelo sesifuba sokholo lothando, lethemba losindiso libe likhowa, |
| 9. | ngoba uNkulunkulu kasimiselanga ulaka, kodwa ukuzuza usindiso ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, |
| 10. | owasifelayo, ukuze loba siphapheme loba silele, siphile kanye laye. |
| 11. | Ngakho khuthazanani, lakhane, njengoba lani likwenza. |
| 12. | Kodwa siyalincenga, bazalwane, ukuthi libazi labo abasebenza nzima phakathi kwenu, labaliphathayo eNkosini, labalelulekayo, |
| 13. | njalo libahlonipha kakhulu okwedlula amalawulo ethandweni ngenxa yomsebenzi wabo. Hlalisanani ngokuthula. |
| 14. | Kodwa siyalikhuthaza, bazalwane, lulekani abangelamthetho, liduduze abadanileyo, lisekele ababuthakathaka, libekezelele bonke. |

| 16. | Thokozani njalonjalo; |
| 17. | khulekani lingaphezi; |
| 18. | bongani kukho konke; ngoba lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu kuKristu Jesu ngani. |
| 19. | Lingamcitshi uMoya; |
| 20. | lingadeleli iziprofetho; |
| 21. | hlolisisani konke; libambelele kokuhle; |
| 22. | dedani kukho konke ukubonakala kobubi. |
| 23. | Kungathi uNkulunkulu wokuthula uqobo alenze libe ngcwele ngokupheleleyo; njalo kungathi umoya wenu wonke lomphefumulo lomzimba kungalondolozwa kungasoleki ekufikeni kweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu. |
| 24. | Uthembekile yena olibizayo; laye oza kw enza lokhu. |
| 25. | Bazalwane, sikhulekeleni. |
| 26. | Bingelelani abazalwane bonke ngokwanga okungcwele. |
| 27. | Ngiyalifungisa ngeNkosi, ukuthi lincwadi ifundwe kubo bonke abazalwane abangcwele. |
| 28. | Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu kawube lani. Ameni. |
