| 3. | Ngakho mqapheliseni yena owaqinisela kuyo impikisano engaka lezoni emelane laye, ukuze lingadinwa, liphelelwe ngamandla emiphefumulweni yenu. |

| 5. | njalo selikhohliwe inkuthazo, ekhuluma kini njengemadodaneni eyokuthi: Ndodana yami, ungadeleli ukulaya kweNkosi, njalo ungapheli amandla, nxa usolwa yiyo; |
| 6. | ngoba iNkosi iyalaya emthandayo; njalo itshaye ngesiswepu yonke indodana eyemukelayo. |
| 7. | Uba likhuthazela ekulayweni, uNkulunkulu uyaliphatha njengamadodana; ngoba yiyiphi indodana uyise angayilayiyo? |

| 13. | njalo lenzele inyawo zenu indlela eziqondileyo, ukuze okuqhulayo kungenyeli, kodwa kulalokho kusiliswe. |
| 14. | Nxwanelani ukuthula labo bonke, lobungcwele, ngaphandle kwalokho kakulamuntu ozayibona iNkosi; |
| 15. | qaphelisani kungabi khona osilelayo emuseni kaNkulunkulu; kungamili lampande yokubaba ikhathaze, njalo ngayo abanengi bangcoliswe; |

| 21. | njalo, kwakusesabeka kangaka lokho okwabonwayo, uMozisi wathi: Ngilovalo ngiyathuthumela. |
| 22. | Kodwa lize entabeni iSiyoni, lemzini kaNkulunkulu ophilayo, eJerusalema yasezulwini, lakuzigidi zengilosi ezingelakubalwa, |
| 23. | lemhlanganweni omkhulu lebandleni lamazibulo abhalwe emazulwini, lakuNkulunkulu umahluleli wabo bonke, lakumimoya yabalungileyo abaphelelisiweyo, |
| 24. | lakuJesu umlamuli wesivumelwano esitsha, legazini lokufafaza elikhuluma izinto ezingcono kulelikaAbela. |
| 25. | Qaphelani ukuthi lingamali okhulumayo. Ngoba uba bengaphephanga labo abala lowo owakhuluma okuvela kuNkulunkulu emhlabeni, kakhulu kangakanani thina esimfulathelayo lowo ovela emazulwini; |
| 26. | olizwi lakhe ngalesosikhathi lanyikinya umhlaba, kodwa khathesi uthembisile, wathi: Ngi za phinda kanye ukunyikinya kungeyisiwo umhlaba wodwa, kodwa lezulu. |
| 27. | Lalokhu ukuthi: Ngiza phinda kanye, kutshengisa ukususwa kwezinto ezinyikinyekayo, kungathi ezenziweyo, ukuze kusale izinto ezinganyikinyekiyo. |
| 28. | Ngakho njengoba sisemukela umbuso ongelakunyikinyekiswa, asibe lomusa esingamkhonza uNkulunkulu ngawo ngokwemukelekayo kanye lokuthobeka lokwesaba uNkulunkulu; |
| 29. | ngoba-ke uNkulunkulu wethu ungumlilo oqothulayo. |
