4 Kodvwa livi leliphefumulelwe* lisho ngalokucacile kutsi etikhatsini letitako labanye batawukuwa ekukholweni, banake tinkhulumo letiphefumulelwe letidukisako*+ kanye netimfundziso temadimoni, 2 futsi batawulalela emanga lakhulunywa ngulabo labatentisako,+ labanabonembeza labashile shengatsi bashiswe yinsimbi yekubeka luphawu. 3 Balela bantfu kutsi bashade,+ futsi babayala kutsi bangakudli kudla lokutsite,+ kantsi Nkulunkulu wadala loko kudla kutsi kudliwe+ ngulabo labanekukholwa+ nalabalati kahle liciniso bese babonga Nkulunkulu. 4 Yonkhe indalo yaNkulunkulu yinhle,+ futsi kute lokufanele kwaliwe+ nangabe kwemukelwa ngekubonga, 5 ngobe kungcweliswe ngelivi laNkulunkulu nangekuthantazelwa.
6 Nawunika bazalwane leseluleko utawuba sisebenti lesihle saKhristu Jesu, lesondliwe ngemavi ekukholwa newemfundziso lenhle loyilandzele edvute.+ 7 Ungatilaleli tindzaba letingemanga letedzelela Nkulunkulu,+ njengaleto letikhulunywa talukati. Kunaloko ticeceshe unemgomo wekwetsembeka kuNkulunkulu. 8 Ngobe kucecesha umtimba* kuzuzisa kancane, kodvwa kwetsembeka kuNkulunkulu kuzuzisa kuto tonkhe tintfo, ngenca yekutsi kwenta umuntfu atfole tibusiso nyalo nasesikhatsini lesitako.+ 9 Lamavi etsembekile futsi kufanele emukelwe ngalokuphelele. 10 Kungako sisebenta kamatima futsi sitikhandla,+ ngobe litsemba letfu silibeke kuNkulunkulu lophilako, longuMsindzisi+ wato tonkhe tinhlobo tebantfu,+ ikakhulukati labo labetsembekile.

Kodvwa ngekukhuluma, ngekutiphatsa, ngelutsandvo, ngekukholwa nangekuba msulwa,* bani sibonelo kulabetsembekile. 13 Chubeka utimisela ekufundzeleni linyenti,+ ekukhutsateni, nasekufundziseni, kuze kube ngulapho ngifika. 14 Sinake sipho lowanikwa sona ngesiphrofetho lesakhishwa ngesikhatsi sigungu salabadzala sikubeka tandla.+ 15 Cabangisisa* ngaletintfo, utinikele kuto, kuze intfutfuko yakho itewubonakala kahle kubo bonkhe bantfu. 16 Hlale utinaka wena, unake naloko lokufundzisako.+ Phikelela kuletintfo, ngobe nawenta njalo utawutisindzisa wena kanye nalabo labakulalelako.+
