5 Ngombana uKrestu wasitjhaphulula bona sithabele itjhaphuluko enjalo. Yeke, qinani,+ ningavumi ukufakwa godu ejogini lobugqila.+
2 Qalani! Mina Powula ngiyanitjela ukuthi nangabe niyasokwa, uKrestu angekhe abe lisizo kini.+ 3 Godu ngifakaza kiwo woke umuntu osokwako ukuthi ubophekile ukwenza koke okutjhiwo mThetho.+ 4 Nihlukaniswe noKrestu, nina enilinga bona kuthiwe nilungile ngomthetho;+ ningaphandle komusakhe omkhulu. 5 Ngombana thina, ngommoya silindele ngetjiseko ukulunga esinethemba lokukufumana ngokukholwa. 6 Ngombana ebunyeni noKrestu ukusoka namkha ukungasoki akutjho litho+ kodwana ukukholwa okusebenza ngethando ngikho okuqakathekileko.
7 Benigijima kuhle.+ Ngubani onikhandele bona niragele phambili nilalela iqiniso? 8 Ifundiso yalabo abanikhandelako ayiveli kiloyo onibizako. 9 Isibiliso esincani sibilisa ihlama yoke.+ 10 Ngiyaqiniseka ukuthi nina enimunye neKosi+ angekhe nicabange ngenye indlela kodwana loyo onitshwenyako+ nanyana kungaba ngubani, uzokufumana isahlulelo esimfaneleko. 11 Nangabe mina bafowethu ngisatjhumayela ukusokwa, kubayini ngisahlunguphazwa? Nakunjalo isiqabo sesigodo sokuhlunguphazwa*+ sesisusiwe. 12 Ngifisa ngasuthi abantu abalinga ukunitshwenya bangaziphakula.*
13 Nabizelwa etjhaphulukweni bafowethu; kwaphela ningasebenzisi itjhaphuluko le njengethuba lokulandela iimfiso zenyama+ kodwana ngethando, yibani ziingqila zomunye nomunye.+ 14 Ngombana umThetho woke uzaliswe* ngomyalo munye othi: “Kufuze uthande umakhelwanakho njengombana uzithanda wena.”+ 15 Nangabe nihlala nilimazana begodu nisahlelana,+ yelelani bona ningatjhabalalisani.+
16 Kodwana ngithi: Ragelani phambili nikhamba ngeenqophiso zommoya,+ angekhe nenze iimfiso zenyama.+ 17 Ngombana inyama ilwisana nommoya esifisweni sayo nommoya ulwisana nenyama, koke lokhu kuyaphikisana, kangangobana zona kanye izinto enifuna ukuzenza anizenzi.+ 18 Ngaphezu kwalokho, nangabe ninqotjhiswa mmoya, anisingaphasi komthetho.
19 Nje-ke imisebenzi yenyama ibonakala kuhle, kuziphatha kumbi ngokomseme,*+ kusilaphala, kukwenza amanyala ungabi neenhloni,*+ 20 kulotjha iinthombe, bungoma,*+ bubutha, kukulwa, sikhwele, ilaka, kuphikisana, kukwahlukana, kukwenza iinqhema zokuhlubuka, 21 mumona, budakwa,+ minyanya engalawulekiko nezinye izinto ezifana nalezi.+ Nginiyelelisa kusesengaphambili ngezintwezi, ngendlela esenginiyelelise ngayo ukuthi labo abenza izinto ezinjalo angekhe bawuzuze njengelifa umBuso kaZimu.+
22 Ngakwelinye ihlangothi, iinthelo zommoya zilithando, ithabo, ukuthula, ukubekezela, umusa, ubuhle,+ ukukholwa, 23 ukuba nommoya ophasi, ukuzibamba.+ Awukho umthetho olwisana nezinto ezinjalo. 24 Labo abangebakaKrestu Jesu bayibethele esigodweni inyama kuhlanganise neenkanuko neemfiso zayo.+
25 Nangabe siphila ngommoya, asirageleni phambili sikhamba ngokufaneleko ngommoya.+ 26 Asingaziphakamisi,+ sivuse ukuphalisana,+ simonakalelane.
