Abazalwane balaywa ukuthi bangabandlululi abantu

1 Bazalwane bami, kungeyisikho ngokubandlulula abantu libe lokholo ^a lweNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, iNkosi yenkazimulo ^{b
,} ^c. 2 Ngoba uba kungena emhlanganweni ^{▼▼ emhlanganweni: kumbe, esinagogeni.} wenu indoda elendandatho yegolide lesembatho esikhazimulayo ^e, besekungena longumyanga olesembatho esingcolileyo, 3 beselinanzelela ^f ogqoke isembatho esikhazimulayo ^g beselisithi kuye: Wena hlala lapha kuhle; beselisithi kongumyanga ^h: Wena mana lapho, loba: Hlala lapha ngaphansi kwesenabelo senyawo zami; 4 pho, kalibandlululi phakathi kwenu ^{i
,} ^j, njalo laba ngabahluleli abalemicabango emibi yini? ^{k
,} ^l 5 Zwanini, bazalwane bami abathandekayo. UNkulunkulu kabakhethanga ^{m
,} ⁿ yini abayanga balumhlaba, benothile ekholweni ^o, njalo bezindlalifa ^p zombuso ^q awuthembisayo ^r kwabamthandayo ^s? 6 Kodwa lina libadumazile abayanga ^t. Abanothileyo kabalicindezeli yini, njalo akusibo yini abalidonsela ^u ekwahlulelweni? ^v 7 Bona kabalihlambazi ^w yini ibizo elihle elibizwa ngalo ^x?

8 Uba liphelelisa umlayo wobukhosi ^y, ngokombhalo ^zothi: Wothanda umakhelwane wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena ^aa, lenza kuhle; 9 kodwa uba libandlulula ^ab abantu, lenza isono, lilahlwa ngumlayo njengabaweqayo ^ac. 10 Ngoba loba ngubani ogcina umlayo wonke, kodwa akhubeke kokukodwa ^ad, uba ^ae lecala ^af kuyo yonke. 11 Ngoba owathi: Ungafebi ^ag; wathi futhi: Ungabulali ^ah; uba-ke ungafebi, kodwa ubulala, usungumeqi womlayo.

12 Khulumani ngokunjalo lenze njalo, njengabazakwahlulelwa ngomlayo wenkululeko ^ai. 13 Ngoba ukwahlulelwa okungelasihawu ^aj kungokwalowo ongenzanga isihawu; njalo isihawu ^ak sizincoma kukho ukwahlulela.

Ukholo lufanele lube lezenzo

14 Kusizani ^al, bazalwane bami, uba umuntu esithi ulokholo, kodwa engelamisebenzi? Lolokholo lungamsindisa yini? 15 Uba-ke umzalwane loba umzalwanekazi ^am behambaze ^an njalo beswela ukudla kwensuku ngensuku, 16 omunye wenu abesesithi kubo ^ao: Hambani ngokuthula, likhudumale lisuthe; kodwa lingabaniki izinto ezidingwa ngumzimba ^ap, lokho kusizani ^aq? 17 Kunjalo lokholo, uba lungelamisebenzi, lufile ngokwalo.

18 Kodwa omunye uzakuthi: Wena ulokholo, mina-ke ngilemisebenzi; ngitshengisa ukholo lwakho ngaphandle kwemisebenzi yakho, lami emisebenzini yami ngizakutshengisa ^ar ukholo lwami ^as. 19 Wena uyakholwa ukuthi uNkulunkulu munye ^at; wenza kuhle; lamadimoni ^au ayakholwa ^av, njalo athuthumele.

20 Kodwa uyathanda ukwazi yini, O siphukuphuku ^aw, ukuthi ukholo olungelamisebenzi lufile ^ax? 21 UAbrahama ubaba wethu kalungisiswanga yini ngemisebenzi, esenikele indodana yakhe uIsaka phezu kwelathi ^ay? 22 Uyabona ukuthi ukholo ^az lwalusebenza kanye lemisebenzi yakhe, lokuthi ukholo lwapheleliswa ngemisebenzi ^ba, 23 kwasekugcwaliswa umbhalo ^bb othi: LoAbrahama wakholwa uNkulunkulu ^bc, kwasekubalelwa kuye ukuthi kuyikulunga, wasebizwa ngokuthi ngumngane kaNkulunkulu ^bd. 24 Ngakho-ke liyabona ukuthi umuntu uyalungisiswa ngemisebenzi ^be, futhi kungesikuthi ngokholo kuphela ^bf. 25 Ngokunjalo-ke loRahabi ^bg isifebe kalungisiswanga ngemisebenzi yini, esezemukele ^bh izithunywa, eseziphumise ngenye indlela? 26 Ngoba njengalokhu umzimba ngaphandle ^bi komoya ufile, ngokunjalo lokholo ngaphandle kwemisebenzi lufile ^bj.
