| 24. | Inceku yeNkosi-ke kayifanele ukulwisa, kodwa ukuba mnene kibo bonke, ibe lelisu lokufundisa, ibekezele, |
| 25. | ibeluleke ngobumnene abalenkani; mhlawumbe uNkulunkulu angabanika ukuphenduka baye kulwazi lweqiniso, |
| 26. | njalo basanguluke kumjibila kaSathane, ababanjwe nguye entandweni yakhe. |
