Ukukhululeka emlayweni

1Kalazi yini, bazalwane (ngoba ngikhuluma lalabo abawaziyo umlayo), ukuthi umlayo ubusa umuntu selokhu esaphila? 2Ngoba umfazi a owendileyo ubotshelwe ngomlayo endodeni ephilayo; kodwa uba indoda isifile, ukhululiwe emlayweni wendoda. 3Ngakho uba indoda isaphila, uzathiwa yisifebe uba esiba ngowenye indoda; kodwa uba indoda isifile, ukhululekile emlayweni, ukuze angabi yisifebe uba esiba ngowenye indoda b. 4Ngakho, bazalwane bami, selenziwe lafa lani emlayweni c ngomzimba kaKristu d, ukuze libe ngabomunye, ngabalowo owavuswa kwabafileyo, ukuze sithelele uNkulunkulu izithelo e. 5Ngoba sathi sisenyameni, inkanuko zezono ezingomlayo zasebenza ezithweni zethu f ukuthelela g ukufa izithelo h. 6Kodwa khathesi-ke sesikhululiwe emthethweni, sifile mayelana lalokho esasibanjwe yikho, ukuze sikhonze ngobutsha bomoya, njalo kungeyisikho ngobudala bokulotshiweyo i.

Kodwa bengingasazi isono, ngaphandle ngomthetho k; ngoba bengingawazi umhawu futhi, uba umthetho ubungatshongo ukuthi: Ungabi lomhawu l. 8Kodwa isono, sizuze m ithuba ngomthetho, sasebenza kimi umhawu wonke n; ngoba ngaphandle komlayo isono sifile o , p. 9Mina-ke ngake ngaphila ngaphandle komlayo q; kodwa kwathi sekufike umthetho, isono savuka r, njalo ngafa mina; 10njalo umthetho ongowempilo, wona waficwa yimi ungowokufa s; 11ngoba isono, sizuze ithuba ngomthetho t, sangikhohlisa, sangibulala ngawo u. 12Ngakho umthetho ungcwele, lomlayo ungcwele v njalo ulungile w, futhi muhle x. 13Ngakho okulungileyo kwaba yikufa kimi yini? Phinde! Kodwa isono, ukuze sibonakaliswe ukuthi siyisono, sisebenza ukufa kimi ngokulungileyo; ukuze isono ngomthetho sibe yikonakala okukhulu kakhulu.

14Ngoba siyazi ukuthi umthetho ungowomoya y; kanti mina ngingowenyama z, ngithengisiwe ngaphansi kwesono aa. 15Ngoba lokhu engikwenzayo, angivumelani ▼

Ngubani ozangikhulula kulumzimba walokhukufa ao? 25Ngiyabonga uNkulunkulu ngoJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu. Ngalokho-ke mina ngokwami ngikhonza umthetho kaNkulunkulu ngengqondo, kodwa ngenyama umthetho wesono ap.
