8 “Akumelanga uvume ukufunjathiswa ngoba kwenza abantu abahlulela kuhle babe angathi yiziphofu futhi kungenza ukuthi abalungileyo batshintshe amazwi abo.+

2 Ngakho umbonisi kumele abe yindoda engasolekiyo, elenkosikazi eyodwa, ezibambayo kukho konke ekwenzayo, esebenzisa kuhle ingqondo yayo,*+ ehlelekileyo, eyamukela izihambi,+ eyenelisa ukufundisa,+ 3 engayisiso sidakwa,+ engeladlakela* kodwa ezwisisayo,+ engathandi ingxabano,+ engathandi imali,+

7 Phela umbonisi uphathiswe umsebenzi kaNkulunkulu, yikho kumele abe yindoda engasolekiyo, engelankani,+ engaphangisi ukuzonda,+ engayisiso sidakwa, engeladlakela,* lengayisiso sihwaba esithanda ukuthola inzuzo ngokungathembeki.

2 Yelusani umhlambi kaNkulunkulu+ eliwugcinisiweyo, libe ngababonisi bawo.* Lokho kwenzeni ngenhliziyo yonke phambi kukaNkulunkulu,+ hatshi ngokubanjwa ngamandla njalo lingakwenzeli ukuthola inzuzo yokungathembeki+ kodwa lizimisele.
