Incwadi Yesibili Eya KwebeKorinte

13 Leli lihlandla lesithathu ngiza kini. “Indaba enye nenye kufuze iqinisekiswe ngabofakazi ababili namkha abathathu.”+ 2 Nanyana ngingekho nje kuba ngasuthi bengikhona ihlandla lesibili begodu ngibayelelisa kusesengaphambili labo abona ngaphambili nabo boke abanye, ukuthi nakungenzeka ngize godu angekhe ngibarhawukele 3 njengombana nifuna ubufakazi bokuthi uKrestu, ongabogabogi kini kodwana onamandla hlangana nani, kwamambala ukhuluma asebenzisa mina. 4 Ngombana eqinisweni, wabulawelwa esigodweni ngebanga lokubogaboga kodwana uyaphila ngebanga lamandla kaZimu.+ Kwamambala, nathi sibogaboga naye kodwana sizokuphila ndawonye naye+ ngebanga lamandla kaZimu malungana nani.+

5 Ragelani phambili nokuhlola bona nisekukholweni na; ragelani phambili nihlolisisa lokho nina eningikho.+ Namkha anilemuki na ukuthi uJesu Krestu umunye nani? Nakungasinjalo kutjho bona anamukeleki. 6 Eqinisweni ngithemba bona nizokulemuka ukuthi asisibabantu abangamukelekiko.

7 Nje-ke sithandaza kuZimu bona ningenzi litho elimbi, ingasi bona sibonakale samukelekile kodwana bona nenze okuhle ngitjho nanyana singabonakala singakamukeleki. 8 Angekhe senza litho elingakhambisani neqiniso kodwana senza kwaphela okukhambisana neqiniso. 9 Eqinisweni siyathaba nanyana kunini nasibogabogako kodwana nina ninamandla. Sithandazela bona nilungiswe. 10 Kungebangeli ngitlola izintwezi njengombana ngingekho, ukuze nangifikako, ngingabi bukhali ekusebenziseni ilungelo lami engilinikelwe yiKosi,+ lokwakha ingasi lokugiriza.

11 Emaswapheleni bafowethu, ragelani phambili nithaba, nilungiseka, niduduzeka,+ nicabanga ngokuvumelana,+ niphila ngokuthula,+ uZimu wethando nokuthula+ uzokuba nani. 12 Lotjhisanani ngokumangana okucwengileko. 13 Boke abacwengileko bayanilotjhisa.

14 Umusa omkhulu weKosi uJesu Krestu nethando lakaZimu nokuhlanganyela emmoyeni ocwengileko akube nani noke.
