7 “Nxa omunye wabafowenu angaba ngumyanga phakathi kwenu kwelinye lamadolobho aselizweni uJehova uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona, ungenzi inhliziyo yakho ibe lukhuni kumbe ube ngoncitshanayo kumfowenu ongumyanga,+ 8 ngoba kumele ube lomusa umvulele isandla sakho+ njalo kumele ube leqiniso lokuthi uyamboleka loba yini ayifunayo kumbe ayiswelayo.

11 Yena wayebaphendula athi: “Umuntu olezembatho ezimbili kathathe esisodwa aphe ongelaso, lalowo olokudla kaphe ongelakho.”+

13 Phanini abangcwele elilakho kusiya ngalokho abakuswelayo+ njalo libe lomkhuba wokwamukela kuhle abanye.+

15 Nxa kulabafowethu loba odadewethu abaswela okokugqoka* lokudla okweneleyo kwalolosuku, 16 omunye wenu abesesithi kubo, “Hambani ngokuthula likhudumale futhi lidle lisuthe,” kodwa angabaniki lokho abakuswelayo ukuze baphile, kunceda ngani lokho?+

20 Nxa umuntu esithi, “Ngiyamthanda uNkulunkulu,” kodwa ezonda umfowabo, uqamba amanga+ ngoba lowo ongamthandiyo umfowabo+ ambonayo ngeke amthande uNkulunkulu angakaze ambone.+
