kanye nakho konke uSamuweli umboni , noSawule indodana kaKishi , no- Abineri indodana kaNeri , noJowabe indodana kaS eruya ababekungcwelisile; yilowo nalowo owayengcwelisile okuthile , kwaba phansi kwesandla sikaShelomoti nabafowabo.

Kukhona izinhlobo noma zingahle zibe zingaki zokukhuluma ezweni, kepha alukho olungasho okuthile.

ngiyakuphuma ngime ngakubaba endle lap ho ukhona, ngikhulume ngawe nobaba; uma ngibona okuthile, ngiyakukutshela.

Kodwa uSawule akakhulumanga lutho ngalolo suku , ngokuba wacabanga ukuthi: Okuthile kumehlele; akahlambulukile, impela akahlambulukile.

Ngalobela ibandla okuthile , kodwa uDiyotrefe othanda ukuba abe mkhulu phakathi kwabo akasamukeli thina.

UGideyoni wathi kubo : Mangicele okuthile kini ukuba ninginike , kube yilowo nalowo amacici empango yakhe . Babenamacici egolide , lokhu bebengabakwa-Ishmayeli.

Ngokuba uletha ezindlebeni zethu okuthile okungaziwayo; ngalokho sifuna ukwazi ukuthi lokhu kungaba yini.

kodwa babe nokuphikisana okuthile naye ngenkolo yakubo nangomuntu othile, uJesu, owafayo, asho ngaye uPawulu ukuthi uyaphila.

Ngokuba yilowo nalowo mpristi omkhulu umiselwa ukunikela ngeminikelo nemihlatshelo; ngakho-ke kuyadingeka ukuba naye lo abe nakho okuthile kokunikela.

Kepha abanye bacabanga ukuthi , ngokuba uJuda ephethe isikhwama , uJesu uthi kuye : Thenga esikuswele emkhosin i, noma ukuthi kabele abampofu okuthile.

Esenyukile amazolo akade elele khona , bheka, nakho okuthile okuncane okunjengenkwethu, kuncane njengongqoqwane emhlabathini.

Ungahlabeli uJehova uNkulunkulu wakho inkomo , noma imvu enesici , enokubi okuthile, ngokuba kuyisinengiso kuJehova uNkulunkulu wakho.

Lapho umuntu ethatha umfazi , aganwe nguye, engasathandeki emehlweni akhe kodwa , lokhu efumanisile kuye okuthile okwenyanyekayo, uyakumlobela incwadi yesahlukaniso , amnike yona esandleni sakhe , amkhiphe endlini yakhe.

Kwema okuthile, kepha angaqonda ukubonakala kwakho; isimo sasiphambi kwamehlo ami; kwathula; ngase ngizwa izwi, lathi:

Uyakudliwa ngosuku lokunikela kwenu nangakusasa ; uma kusele okuthile kuze kube lusuku lwesithathu, kuyakushiswa ngomlilo.

Uma umuntu ethanda ukuhlenga okuthile okokweshumi kwakhe , uyakuthasisela kukho okwesihlanu kwakho.
