16 Ngakho nanku okutshiwo yiNkosi Enkulu uJehova:

Akulamuntu otshengisa ukuthi ulokholo ozakwethuka.+

17 Kodwa yena wabakhangela wabathi nhlo, wasesithi: “Pho utshoni umbhalo othi: ‘Ilitshe elaliwa ngabakhi selibe lilitshe eliyisiqokoqela’?*+

11 UJesu lo nguye ‘ilitshe lina abakhi elaliphatha njengento engelancedo, eselibe lilitshe eliyisiqokoqela.’*+

11 Kakho ongabeka esinye isisekelo ngaphandle kwaleso esabekwayo, uJesu Khristu.+

19 Ngakho kaliseyizo zihambi loba abantu bezinye izizwe,+ kodwa seliyizizalwane+ ndawonye labangcwele njalo selingamalunga emuli kaNkulunkulu.+ 20 Selakhelwe phezu kwesisekelo sabaphostoli labaphrofethi+ kodwa uKhristu uJesu yena ulilitshe lesisekelo eliyisiqokoqela.*+

4 Nxa lisiza kulowo olilitshe eliphilayo elaliwa ngabantu+ kodwa elikhethiweyo futhi eliligugu kuNkulunkulu,+ 5 lina elingamatshe aphilayo liba yindlu eyakhiwa ngomoya kaNkulunkulu+ ukuthi libe liqembu labaphristi elingcwele ukuze linikele imihlatshelo ngomoya kaNkulunkulu,+ leyo ayamukelayo ngoJesu Khristu.+ 6 Phela uMbhalo uthi: “Khangela! Ngibeka eZiyoni ilitshe elikhethiweyo, ilitshe lesisekelo eliyisiqokoqela* futhi eliligugu. Kakho otshengisa ukuthi ulokholo kulo ozadana* loba sekutheni.”+

7 Yikho yena uligugu kini ngoba lingamakholwa kodwa kulabo abangakholwayo, “ilitshe elaliwa ngabakhi+ selibe lilitshe eliyisiqokoqela,”*+
