3 Sesiphindze siyatincoma yini? Nobe njengalabanye, natsi sidzinga tincwadzi tekusincoma letiya kini nobe letisuka kini? 2 Nine ngekwenu niyincwadzi yetfu+ lebhalwe etinhlitiyweni tetfu naleyatiwako, futsi lefundvwa ngibo bonkhe bantfu. 3 Ngobe nine nikhombisa kutsi niyincwadzi yaKhristu lebhalwe ngitsi tsine tinceku,+ lengakabhalwa nge-inki kodvwa lebhalwe ngemoya waNkulunkulu lophilako, hhayi etibhelekeceni tematje,+ kodvwa etibhelekeceni tenyama, lokutinhlitiyo.+
4 NgaKhristu, sinalelitsemba kuNkulunkulu. 5 Hhayi kutsi ngitsi lesitente sakufanela kahle kwenta lomsebenti, kepha nguNkulunkulu losente sawufanela,+ 6 usente sakufanela kahle kuba tinceku tesivumelwane lesisha,+ hhayi sivumelwane semtsetfo lobhalwe phansi,+ kodvwa sivumelwane semoya; ngobe umtsetfo lobhalwe phansi uletsa kufa,+ kodvwa umoya wona uyaphilisa.+
7 Ngetulu kwaloko, nangabe lomtsetfo loletsa kufa nalobewubhalwe ematjeni+ weta nalenkhatimulo, kangangekutsi bantfwana baka-Israyeli abazange bakwati ngisho nekubuka buso baMosi ngenca yenkhatimulo lebeyisebusweni bakhe,+ lokuyinkhatimulo lebeyitawususwa, 8 ngeke yini tintfo letentiwa ngumoya+ tibe nenkhatimulo lenkhulu kunalena?+ 9 Ngobe nangabe lomtsetfo loletsa sehlulelo+ bewukhatimula,+ kukhishwa kwekulunga kutawukhatimula kakhulu kunawo.+ 10 Ecinisweni, naloko lokwake kwaba nenkhatimulo sekwemukiwe leyo nkhatimulo, ngenca yenkhatimulo lenkhulu kunako.+ 11 Nangabe loko lobekutawususwa kweta nenkhatimulo,+ itawuba yinkhulu kakhulu-ke inkhatimulo yaloko lokusele.+
12 Njengobe sinalelitsemba,+ sikhuluma ngekukhululeka lokukhulu, 13 futsi asenti loko Mosi lakwenta ngesikhatsi ambonya buso bakhe+ ngendvwangu kuze bantfwana baka-Israyeli bangatowubukisisa umphumela waloko lobekutawususwa. 14 Kodvwa tingcondvo tabo tentiwa taba lukhuni.+ Kuze kube ngulamuhla, lendvwangu solo ayisuswa nakufundvwa sivumelwane lesidzala,+ ngobe isuswa ngaKhristu kuphela.+ 15 Ecinisweni, kuze kube ngulamuhla, nobe nini nakufundvwa emavi aMosi,+ kuba nendvwangu lembonya tinhlitiyo tabo.+ 16 Kodvwa nangabe umuntfu aphendvukela kuJehova,* lendvwangu iyasuswa.+ 17 Jehova* unguMoya,+ futsi lapho kunemoya waJehova* khona, kuba nenkhululeko.+ 18 Nanobe sonkhe sinebuso lobungakambonywa, siveta inkhatimulo yaJehova* njengetibuko, futsi siyaguculwa sibe ngumfanekiso munye, sisuke ezingeni lelitsite lenkhatimulo siye kulelinye,* ngendlela Jehova* longuMoya* lakwenta ngayo.+
