24 Umuntu ogagamelako begodu othanda ukubukisa ubizwa ngokuthi
Mumuntu owenza ngokuzikhakhazisa onganandaba nemiphumela.+

Kodwana umuntu olungileko uyaphana, akadimani.+

Kodwana umuntu olalelako uzokufakaza ngepumelelo.
30 Umuntu ophikisana noJehova angeze ahlakanipha, azwisisa namkha anikele iseluleko esihle.+
