14 Memukeleni umuntfu lobutsakatsaka ekukholweni,+ kodvwa ningamehluleli ngekutsi imibono yakhe yehlukile.* 2 Kukholwa kuyamvumela lomunye umuntfu kutsi adle konkhe, kodvwa umuntfu lobutsakatsaka udla tibhidvo kuphela. 3 Lodlako akangambukeli phansi longadli, nalongadli akangamehluleli lodlako,+ ngobe naye wemukelwe nguNkulunkulu. 4 Ungubani wena kutsi ungehlulela sisebenti salomunye umuntfu?+ Kuma nekuwa kwaso kusenkhosini yaso.+ Ecinisweni sitawukuma ngobe Jehova* angasenta sime.
5 Lomunye umuntfu utsatsa lilanga lelitsite njengalelibalulekile kunalelinye;+ lomunye ulitsatsa njengalelifana nawo onkhe lamanye emalanga;+ nguloyo naloyo akaciniseke kahle engcondvweni yakhe. 6 Loyo lotsatsa lilanga lelitsite njengalelibalulekile, wenta loko kuze ahloniphe Jehova.* Naloyo lodlako udla kuze ahloniphe Jehova,* ngobe ubonga Nkulunkulu;+ nalongadli akadli kuze ahloniphe Jehova,* futsi naye ubonga Nkulunkulu.+ 7 Ecinisweni, kute kitsi lotiphilela yena,+ futsi kute nalotifela yena. 8 Ngobe nasiphila siphilela kuhlonipha Jehova,*+ nanasifa sifela Jehova.* Ngako ngisho siphila nobe sifa, sibaJehova.*+ 9 Ngobe Khristu wafa waphindze wavuswa kuze abe yiNkhosi yalabafile nalabaphilako.+
10 Umehlulelelani umzalwane wakho?+ Kungani umbukela phansi? Sonkhe sitawukuma embikwesihlalo saNkulunkulu sekwehlulela.+ 11 Ngobe kubhaliwe kwatsiwa: “Jehova* utsi: ‘Njengobe nje ngiphila,+ onkhe emadvolo atawuguca embikwami futsi tonkhe tilwimi titawudvumisa Nkulunkulu.’”+ 12 Ngako-ke, Nkulunkulu utawehlulela umuntfu ngamunye kuye ngekwaloko lakwentile.+
13 Ngako asingasehlulelani.+ Esikhundleni saloko asitimiseleni kutsi singenti tintfo letingakhuba umzalwane wetfu nobe timphambukise.+ 14 Njengobe ngingumlandzeli weNkhosi Jesu, ngiyati futsi ngiyaciniseka kutsi kute lutfo lolungcolile ngekwalo;+ kodvwa nangabe umuntfu atsatsa intfo ngekutsi ingcolile, isuke ingcole kuye. 15 Ngobe nangabe umzalwane wakho akhubeka ngaloko lokudlako, wena usuke ungasaphili ngekuvumelana nelutsandvo.+ Ungamlimati ngalokudlako loyo lowafelwa nguKhristu.+ 16 Ngako ningakuvumeli lokuhle lenikwentako kutsi kunente nikhulunywe kabi. 17 Kungena eMbusweni waNkulunkulu akuyi ngekutsi umuntfu uyadla nobe uyanatsa,+ kodvwa kufanele abe ngulolungile, abe nekuthula, futsi abe nenjabulo leletfwa ngumoya longcwele. 18 Ngobe loyo losebentela Khristu ngalendlela uyemukeleka kuNkulunkulu futsi uyemukeleka nakubantfu.
19 Ngako-ke, asenteni konkhe lokusemandleni etfu kuze sibe nekuthula+ nalabanye futsi sakhane.+ 20 Yekelani kubhidlita imisebenti yaNkulunkulu ngenca nje yekudla.+ Kuliciniso kutsi tonkhe tintfo tihlantekile, kodvwa kuyingoti* nangabe umuntfu adla kantsi ukhuba labanye.+ 21 Kuncono kutsi ungayidli inyama, ungalinatsi neliwayini futsi ungenti nobe yini lekhuba umzalwane wakho.+ 22 Kukholwa lonako akube kwakho wedvwa naNkulunkulu. Uyajabula umuntfu longatehluleli ngaloko yena lakubona kwemukeleka. 23 Kodvwa nangabe angabata, sewuvele ulahliwe nakadla, ngobe ukwenta ngekungakholwa. Ecinisweni, konkhe lokungakasekelwa ekukholweni kusono.
