5 Khristu wasikhulula kuze sihlale sikhululekile. Ngako-ke cinani,+ ningavumi kutsi niphindze niboshelwe ebugcilini.+
2 Mine Pawula ngiyanitjela ngitsi nangabe nisoka, Khristu ngeke abe lusito kini.+ 3 Ngiphindze ngitjela wonkhe umuntfu losokako kutsi ubophekile kugcina wonkhe uMtsetfo.+ 4 Nangabe wetama kuba ngulolungile ngemtsetfo,+ usuke wehlukanisiwe naKhristu, futsi usuke ukhweshile emseni wakhe lomkhulu. 5 Kodvwa ngemoya, tsine sikulindzele ngekulangatelela kuba ngulabalungile ngenca yekukholwa kwetfu. 6 Ngobe kulabo labamunye naKhristu Jesu, kusoka nobe kungasoki akukabaluleki,+ kodvwa kukholwa lokusebenta ngelutsandvo ngiko lokubalulekile.
7 Benigijima kahle.+ Ngubani-ke lonivimbele kutsi nichubeke nilalela liciniso? 8 Loluhlobo lwemfundziso aluveli kuLoyo lonibitako. 9 Imvubelo lencane ibilisa yonkhe inhlama.+ 10 Ngiyaciniseka kutsi nine lenimunye neNkhosi+ ngeke nicabange ngendlela leyehlukile; kodvwa loyo lonibangela tinkinga,+ ngisho nobe kungaba ngubani, utawutfola sehlulelo lesimfanele. 11 Kodvwa bazalwane, nangabe mine ngisashumayela ngekusoka, pho ngisahlushelwani? Kube bekunjalo ngabe bantfu abasakhubekiswa lugodvo*+ Jesu labetselwa kulo. 12 Ngifisa shengatsi lamadvodza letama kuniphatamisa angatiphakula.*
13 Bazalwane, nabitelwa enkhululekweni; kodvwa ningayisebentisi njengelitfuba lekwenta lokufiswa yinyama,+ kepha ngelutsandvo, banini tigcili talomunye nalomunye.+ 14 Ngobe wonkhe uMtsetfo upheleliswe* emyalweni munye, lotsi: “Kufanele utsandze makhelwane wakho njengobe utitsandza wena.”+ 15 Nangabe-ke nichubeka nilumana futsi nishwabadzelana,+ caphelani kutsi ningacedzani.+
16 Kodvwa ngitsi: Chubekani nihamba ngemoya+ futsi ngeke nize nente lokufiswa yinyama.+ 17 Ngobe ngetifiso tayo, inyama iphambene nemoya, nemoya uphambene nenyama; letintfo tiyaphikisana, kungako ningakwenti loko lenifuna kukwenta.+ 18 Ngetulu kwaloko, nangabe niholwa ngumoya, anikho ngephansi kwemtsetfo.
19 Imisebenti yenyama ibonakala kahle, futsi ngulena: Bugwadla,*+ kungcola, kona lokuhambisana nekwedzelela,*+ 20 kukhonta tithico, kusebentelana nemimoya,*+ yinzondo, kucabana, ngumona, yintfukutselo lengalawuleki, yimibango, kwehlukana, ngemahlelo, 21 kuhawukela, kudzakwa,+ yimicimbi lengalawulwa* naletinye tintfo letifana naleti.+ Ngiyanecwayisa ngaletintfo, njengobe besengivele nginecwayisile, kutsi labo labenta tintfo letinjena ngeke balidle lifa leMbuso waNkulunkulu.+
22 Ngakulokunye, titselo temoya nguleti: Lutsandvo, yinjabulo, kuthula, kubeketela, ngumusa, buhle,+ kukholwa, 23 ngumoya lophansi* nekutibamba.+ Kute umtsetfo lomelene naletintfo. 24 Labo lababaKhristu Jesu bayibetsele elugodvweni inyama yabo kanye netifiso netinkhanuko tayo.+
25 Nangabe siphila ngemoya, asichubekeni siphila ngekuvumelana nekucondziswa ngumoya.+ 26 Asingatigabatisi,+ singakukhutsati kuncintisana,+ futsi singadlelani umona.
