Ukunakana ngokwaphezulu lokubulala inkanuko zemhlabeni

1 Ngakho uba livuswe ^a loKristu, dingani okwaphezulu ^b, lapho akhona uKristu ehlezi ngakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu ^c. 2 Nakanani ngezinto eziphezulu ^d, kungeyisikho ngezinto ezisemhlabeni. 3 Ngoba lifile ^e, lempilo yenu ifihlwe loKristu kuNkulunkulu. 4 Nxa ebonakaliswa uKristu, oyimpilo yethu ^{f

,} ^v, lapho lalihlezi phakathi kwazo. 8 Kodwa khathesi lani khuphani konke lokhu ^w, ulaka ^x, ukuthukuthela ^y, inzondo ^z, inhlamba ^aa, ukukhuluma amanyala emlonyeni wenu ^ab; 9 lingaqambelani amanga ^ac, lokhu selimhlubule umuntu omdala ^{ad
,} ^ae lezenzo zakhe, 10 selembethe ^af omutsha ^ag, owenziwa kutsha ^ah elwazini ^ai njengomfanekiso ^aj walowo owamdalayo ^ak; 11 okungekho umGriki lomJuda ^{al
,} ^am, ukusoka lokungasoki ^an, owezizweni ^ao, umSikethiya, isigqili, okhululekileyo ^ap; kodwa uKristu uyikho konke lakukho konke ^aq. 12 Ngakho yembathani ^ar, njengabakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu ^as, abangcwele labathandekayo ^at, imihelo yesihawu ^{au
,} ^av, ububele ^aw, ukuzithoba ^ax, ubumnene ^ay, ukubekezela ^az; 13 libekezelelane ^ba, lithethelelane ^bb uba umuntu elensolo komunye; njengoba loKristu walithethelela ^bc, ngokunjalo lani; 14 phezu kwakho konke-ke ^bd yembathani ^be uthando ^bf, oluyisibopho ^bg sokuphelela ^bh. 15 Lokuthula kukaNkulunkulu ^bi kakubuse enhliziyweni zenu, elibizelwa kukho ^bj lani emzimbeni munye ^bk; futhi banini ngababongayo ^bl. 16 Ilizwi likaKristu kalihlale phakathi kwenu ngokwenotho enhlakanipheni yonke ^{bm
,} ^bn; lifundisane ^bo lilayane ^bp, ngezihlabelelo ^bq, lamahubo odumo, lengoma zomoya, lihlabelela lilomusa ^br enhliziyweni zenu eNkosini. 17 Njalo konke loba yini eliyenzayo ^bs, elizwini loba esenzweni, konke kwenzeni ebizweni leNkosi uJesu, libonge ^bt uNkulunkulu loBaba ngaye.

Ukuphathana kwabomuzi

18 Bafazi ^bu, zehliseleni ngaphansi kwawenu amadoda, njengokufanele eNkosini ^bv. 19 Madoda, thandani omkenu ^bw, lingabi lokubaba kubo ^bx. 20 Bantwana, lalelani abazali ^by ezintweni zonke ^bz; ngoba lokhu kuyayithokozisa ^ca iNkosi. 21 Bobaba, lingabathukuthelisi ^cb abantwana benu, ukuze bangadani.

22 Zisebenzi ^cc, lalelani ezintweni zonke labo abangamakhosi njengokwenyama ^cd, kungeyisikho ngenkonzo yamehlo ^ce njengabathokozisa abantu, kodwa ngobuqotho benhliziyo ^cf, lisesaba uNkulunkulu; 23 njalo yonke loba yini eliyenzayo ^cg, yenzeni ngenhliziyo ^ch, njengeNkosini ^ci, njalo kungeyisikho ebantwini; 24 lisazi ^cj ukuthi eNkosini lizakwemukela umvuzo welifa ^ck; ngoba likhonza ^{cl
,} ^cm iNkosi uKristu. 25 Kodwa owenza okubi uzazemukelela ^cn okubi akwenzileyo; njalo kakukho ukubandlulula ^co umuntu.
