Izulu lishumayela ukulunga kwakhe , ngokuba uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli . Sela

kepha uNkulunkulu ungumahluleli ; omunye uyamehlisa , omunye amphakamise.

UNkulunkulu ungumahluleli olungileyo ; unguNkulunkulu othukuthela imihla yonke.

ngokuba ulimelele ilungelo lami nendaba yami , uhlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi, ungumahluleli olungileyo.

Ningahlebani, bazalwane. Ohleba umzalwane , noma ahlulele umzalwane wakhe, uhleba umthetho, ahlulele umthetho; kepha uma wahlulela umthetho, awusiye owenza okomthetho kodwa ungumahluleli.

Umbusi esemqhwebile ukuba akhulume , uPawulu waphendula wathi : Lokhu ngiyazi ukuthi sekuyiminyaka eminingi ungumahluleli kulesi sizw e, ngiyaziphendulela ngesibindi;

Ngokuba uJehova ungumahluleli wethu , uJehova ungumenzi wemithetho yethu, uJehova uyinkosi yethu; uyakusisindisa.
