Eyesibili KwabaseKhorinte

13 Sengisiza kini okwesithathu. “Yonke indaba kumele iqiniswe yibufakazi babantu* ababili kumbe abathathu.”+ 2 Lanxa khathesi ngingekho kini, kufanana lokuthi ngilani okwesibili. Ngibaxwayisa kuseselesikhathi abake benza isono labanye bonke ukuthi nxa ngingaphinda ngifike khonangapho angisoze ngibayekele, 3 njengoba lidinga ubufakazi bokuthi uKhristu ukhuluma esebenzisa mina sibili. Yena kabuthakathaka phakathi kwenu kodwa ulamandla. 4 Lanxa wabulawa ngokubethelwa esigodweni ngenxa yokungabi lamandla, uyaphila ngenxa yamandla kaNkulunkulu.+ Lathi asilamandla njengoba nje laye wayengelamandla kodwa sizaphila laye+ ngenxa yamandla kaNkulunkulu akini.+

5 Qhubekani lizihlola ukuthi lisekukholweni yini, qhubekani lizihlolisisa ukuthi lingabantu abanjani.+ Kalinanzeleli yini ukuthi uJesu Khristu umanyene lani? Ngaphandle nxa kuyikuthi kalemukelwa. 6 Ngithemba lizananzelela ukuthi thina siyemukelwa.

7 Khathesi sithandaza kuNkulunkulu sicela ukuthi lingenzi lutho olubi kodwa lokho asikwenzeli ukuthi kukhanye angathi siyemukelwa. Sikwenzela ukuthi lenze okuhle lanxa kungakhanya angathi thina kasemukelwa. 8 Asingeke senze lutho oluphikisana leqiniso kodwa senza okuvumelana leqiniso kuphela. 9 Sihlala sithokoza kakhulu nxa sibuthakathaka kodwa lina lilamandla njalo esikuthandazelayo yikuthi lilungisiswe. 10 Yikho ngibhala izinto lezi ngingekho kini, ngisenzela ukuthi nxa sengifikile ngingabi lesihluku sengisebenzisa amandla engawaphiwa yiNkosi+ ukuze ngilakhe, ngingalidilizi.

11 Okokucina bafowethu qhubekani lithokoza, litshintsha lapho okumele litshintshe khona, liduduzwa,+ livumelana emicabangweni yenu+ njalo lihlalisane ngokuthula.+ Lingenza njalo uNkulunkulu wothando lokuthula+ uzakuba lani. 12 Bingelelanani ngokuqabuzana okungcwele. 13 Bonke abangcwele bayalibingelela.

14 Umusa omkhulu weNkosi uJesu Khristu lothando lukaNkulunkulu kanye lomoya ongcwele olincedayo akube lani lonke.
