Madoda, thandani omkenu , njengalokho noKristu ulithandile ibandla , wazinikela ngenxa yalo

Madoda, thandani omkenu, ningabacasukeli.

Kepha ngithi kini enizwayo : Thandani izitha zenu , nenze okuhle kwabanizondayo,

Kepha thandani izitha zen u, nenze okuhle , nitsheleke, ningadikibali; nomvuzo wenu uyakuba mkhulu, nibe ngabantwana boPhezukonke, ngokuba umnene yena kwabangabongiyo nababi.

Kepha mina ngithi kini : Thandani izitha zenu, nibabusise abaniqalekisayo, nibaphathe kahle abanizondayo, nibakhulekele abanizingelayo

Thandani-ke umfokazi, ngokuba naningabafokazi ezweni laseGibithe.

Usho kanje uJehova Sebawoti , uthi: Ukuzila kwenyanga yesine, nokuzila kweyesihlanu, nokuzila kweyesikhombisa , nokuzila kweyeshumi kuyakuba ngukujabula nokuthokoza nemikhosi emihle kuyo indlu yakwaJuda; thandani iqiniso nokuthula.
