Yokuthoma YebeKorinte
5 Kubikwe bona kunokuziphatha kumbi ngokomseme*+ phakathi kwenu, ukuziphatha kumbi* okunjalo angekhe wakufumana ngitjho nahlangana nabantu beentjhaba, ukuthi umuntu uya emabhayini nomkayise.+ 2 Kghani niyazikhakhazisa ngalokho? Akukafuzi na nibe lisizi,+ ukuze umuntu owenze isenzwesi asuswe phakathi kwenu?+ 3 Nanyana ngingekho ngomzimba, ngikhona ngommoya begodu sengimahlulele umuntu owenze isenzwesi, njengokungathi nginani. 4 Nanibuthene ndawonye ngegama leKosethu uJesu, nazi nokuthi nginani ngommoya nangamandla weKosethu uJesu, 5 umuntu onjalo kufuze nimnikele kuSathana+ bona kutjhatjalaliswe inyama, ukuze ummoya usindiswe ngelanga leKosi.+
6 Ukuzikhakhazisa kwenu akusikuhle. Anazi na bona isibiliso esincani sibilisa ihlama yoke?+ 7 Susani isibiliso esidala ukuze nibe yihlama etja, njengombana ninganaso isibiliso. Ngombana kwamambala, uKrestu imvana yePhasika+ lethu wenziwe umhlatjelo.+ 8 Yeke asiwugidingeni umnyanya lo+ ingasi ngesibiliso esidala namkha ngesibiliso sobumbi nokukhohlakala kodwana ngoburotho obunganasibiliso bokuthembeka nebeqiniso.
9 Encwadinami nganitlolela bona nilise ukuzihlanganisa nabantu abaziphatha kumbi ngokomseme,* 10 angitjho bona nilise ukuzihlanganisa ngokupheleleko nabantu bephaseli+ abaziphatha kumbi ngokomseme* namkha abantu abamarhamaru namkha abadlelezeli namkha abalotjha iinthombe. Ngombana nakunjalo, bekuzokufuze niphume ephasini.+ 11 Kodwana nje nginitlolela bona nilise ukuzihlanganisa+ nomuntu obizwa ngokuthi mfowethu kodwana oziphatha kumbi ngokomseme* namkha omarhamaru+ namkha olotjha iinthombe namkha othukanako* namkha osidakwa+ namkha omdlelezeli,+ ningadli ngitjho nokudla nomuntu onjalo. 12 Kungisiza ngani ukwahlulela abangaphandle? Anahluleli abangaphakathi na, 13 kukulapho uZimu ahlulela abangaphandle?+ “Susani umuntu omumbi phakathi kwenu.”+
