Yokuthoma YebeKorinte 6:1-20
6 Ukhona na phakathi kwenu othi nakabe nombango nomunye+ abe nesibindi sokuya ekhotho phambi kwabantu abangakalungi, angayi phambi kwabacwengileko?
2 Namkha anazi na ukuthi abacwengileko bazokwahlulela iphasi?+ Yeke nangabe iphasi lizokwahlulelwa ngini, angekhe nakghona na ukwahlulela iindaba ezingatjho litho?
3 Anazi na ukuthi sizokwahlulela iingilozi?+ Kangangani-ke ngokwahlulela iindaba zokuphilokhu?
4 Nje-ke, nangabe nizokwahlulela iindaba zokuphilokhu,+ kghani nikhetha abantu ibandla elibaqalela phasi bona babe bahluleli?
5 Ngitjho lokhu bona nginiphathise iinhloni. Kghani akakho nomuntu munye ohlakaniphileko phakathi kwenu ongakghona ukwahlulela hlangana kwabafowabo?
6 Kunalokho, umuntu umangalela umfowabo ekhotho, phambi kwabantu abangakholwako!
7 Kuhlekuhle, senihluliwe nanimangalelana emakhotho. Kunokobana nimangalelane emakhotho, kubayini ningazivumeli bona noniwe?+ Kubayini ningazivumeli bona nidlelezelwe?
8 Esikhundleni salokho, niyona, niyadlelezela begodu nikwenza kubafowenu!
9 Namkha anazi na ukuthi abantu abangakalungi angekhe balizuze ilifa lomBuso kaZimu?+ Ningakhohliswa. Labo abaziphatha kumbi ngokomseme,*+ abalotjha iinthombe,+ iimfebe,*+ iintjhatjha zamadoda,+ amadoda aya emabhayini namadoda,+
10 amasela, abamarhamaru,+ iindakwa,+ abathukanako,* nabadlelezeli, angekhe balizuze ilifa lomBuso kaZimu.+
11 Lokhu ngilokho abanye benu ebeningikho. Kodwana nihlanziwe nahlwengeka,+ nicwengisiwe+ kuthiwe nilungile+ egameni leKosi uJesu Krestu nangommoya kaZimethu.
12 Zoke izinto zivumelekile kimi, kodwana akusizo zoke izinto ezizuzisako.+ Zoke izinto zivumelekile kimi, kodwana angekhe ngivume bona ngilawulwe nginanyana yini.
13 Ukudla ngekwamathumbu namathumbu ngewokudla kodwana uZimu uzokwenza kokubili kube lilize.+ Umzimba awusingewokuziphatha kumbi ngokomseme* kodwana ngeweKosi,+ neKosi ngeyomzimba.
14 UZimu uvuse iKosi+ begodu nathi uzosivusa ekufeni+ ngamandlakhe.+
15 Anazi na ukuthi imizimbenu imalunga kaKrestu?+ Alo-ke sekufuze ngisuse amalunga kaKrestu ngiwahlanganise nengwadla? Awa!
16 Kghani anazi ukuthi nanyana ngubani ozihlanganisa nengwadla umzimba munye nayo? Ngombana uZimu uthi, “ababilaba bazokuba yinyama yinye.”+
17 Kodwana loyo ohlanganiswe neKosi umunye nayo emmoyeni.+
18 Kubalekeleni ukuziphatha kumbi ngokomseme!*+ Zoke ezinye izono umuntu angazenza zingaphandle komzimbakhe, kodwana nanyana ngubani onomukghwa wokuziphatha kumbi ngokomseme wona umzimbakhe.+
19 Kghani anazi ukuthi umzimbenu ulithempeli+ lommoya ocwengileko ongaphakathi kwenu, eniwunikelwe nguZimu?+ Godu, anisingebenu,+
20 ngombana nathengwa ngentengo.+ Ngokuqinisekileko, dumisani uZimu+ emzimbenenu.+
