KuThithu 2

¹ Kepha wena khuluma izinto ezifanele isifundiso esiphilileyo;

² ukuze amadoda amadala abe ahluzekile, ahloniphekile, aqondileyo, aphilile ekukholweni, othandweni, nasekubekezeleni.

³ Ngokunjalo nabesifazane asebekhulile baziphathe ngendlela efanele ubungcwele, bangabi ngabahlebi, bangabi yizigqila zewayini eliningi, babe abafundisi bokuhle;

⁴ ukuze bafundise abesifazane abasha ukuba nezithiyo, bathande abayeni babo, bathande abantwana babo,

⁵ babe ngabaqondayo, abamhlophe, abagcina imizi, abalungile, abathobela amadoda abo, ukuze izwi likaNkulunkulu lingahlanjalazwa.

⁶ Ngokunjalo amajaha ayale ukuthi ahluze.

⁷ Ezintweni zonke uzibonakalise uyisiboniso semisebenzi emihle: esifundiseni ukhombisa ukungonakali, ukulunga, ubuqotho,

⁸ Inkulumo ephilileyo engenakulahlwa; ukuze ophambeneyo abe namahloni, engenalutho olubi angalusho ngani.

⁹ Yala izinceku ukuba zilalele amakhosi azo, zibathokozise ezintweni zonke; angaphenduli futhi;

¹⁰ ingazenzisi, kodwa ibonise ukwethembeka konke okuhle; ukuze bahlotshise imfundiso kaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu ezintweni zonke.

¹¹ Ngoba umusa kaNkulunkulu oletha insindiso usubonakalisiwe ebantwini bonke;

¹² Isifundisa ukuthi, sidele ukungamesabi uNkulunkulu nezinkanuko zezwe, sihambe ngokuqonda, nangokulunga, nangokumesaba uNkulunkulu kuleli zwe lamanje;

¹³ silindele ithemba elibusisiweyo, nokubonakala kwenkazimulo kaNkulunkulu omkhulu noMsindisi wethu uJesu Kristu;

¹⁴ owazinikela ngenxa yethu, ukuze asihlenge kubo bonke ububi, futhi azihlambulule isizwe esiyisizwe, esishisekela imisebenzi emihle.

¹⁵ Khuluma lezizinto, uyale, ukhuze ngawo wonke amandla. Makungabikho muntu okudelelayo.
