7 Umphristi uzanikela izinto lezi phambi kukaJehova ukuze amhlawulele njalo uzakuba ngohlanzekileyo ekopheni kwakhe. Lo ngumthetho ophathelane lowesifazana obeletha umntwana ongumfana kumbe oyinkazana. 8 Nxa engenelisi ukunikela ngemvu kumele alethe amajuba amabili kumbe abantwana benkwilimba ababili,+ okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa, okunye kube ngumnikelo wesono njalo umphristi uzamhlawulela, abesehlanjululwa.’”

21 “Kodwa nxa engumyanga futhi engenelisi ukuletha izinto lezi, kalethe imvana enduna eyodwa ibe ngumnikelo wesono ozazunguzwa ukuze azihlawulele, kanye lengxenye ye-efa* eyodwa etshumini yefulawa ecolekileyo ehlanganiswe lamafutha kube ngumnikelo wamabele, lamafutha agcwele inkomitsho,* 22 lamajuba amabili kumbe abantwana benkwilimba ababili kusiya ngalokho enelisa ukukuthola. Okunye kuzakuba ngumnikelo wesono okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa.+

13 “‘Nxa isipholile ubomvu bungasaphumi, izabala amalanga ayisikhombisa okuhlanjululwa kwayo njalo kumele iwatshe izigqoko zayo, igeze ngamanzi agelezayo njalo izakuba ngehlanzekileyo.+ 14 Ngelanga lesi-8 kumele ithathe amajuba amabili loba abantwana benkwilimba ababili+ iye lakho phambi kukaJehova emnyango wetende lokuhlangana ikunike umphristi. 15 Umphristi uzanikela izinto lezi, okunye kube ngumnikelo wesono, okunye kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa njalo umphristi uzayihlawulela phambi kukaJehova ngenxa yobomvu obuphuma kuyo.
