16 “UNkulunkulu wawuthanda kakhulu umhlaba waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa,+ ukuze wonke umuntu otshengisa ukuthi uyakholwa kuyo angabhujiswa kodwa abe lokuphila okungapheliyo.+

32 Njengoba engazange athikaze ukunikela ngeNdodana yakhe kodwa wayinikela ngenxa yethu sonke,+ pho yena leNdodana yakhe bangehlulwa yini ukuthi basinike ngesihle zonke ezinye izinto?

13 ngesikhathi sisalindele ithemba+ elithokozisayo kanye lokubonakaliswa okukhazimulayo kukaNkulunkulu uSomandla lokoMsindisi wethu uJesu Khristu. 14 Yena wazinikela ngenxa yethu+ ukuze asikhulule*+ kukho konke ukungabi lamthetho njalo azihlambululele abantu abayimpahla yakhe eqakathekileyo labatshisekela imisebenzi emihle.+

7 Kodwa nxa sihamba ekukhanyeni njengoba yena esekukhanyeni, silobudlelwano laye njalo igazi leNdodana yakhe uJesu liyasihlambulula kuzo zonke izono.+

16 Yikho-ke sesilwazi uthando ngoba yena wanikela ngokuphila kwakhe* ngenxa yethu.+ Lathi silomlandu wokunikela ngokuphila kwethu* ngenxa yabafowethu.+
