Timphilo letintjintjile

¹ Njengobe naKhristu wahlupheka emtimbeni ngenca yenu, nani hlomani ngalowo mcondvo, ngobe umuntfu lowake wahlupheka emtimbeni usuke asacedzile ngesono.

² Ngako ngesikhatsi nisesemhlabeni, ningabe nisaphila ngetinkhanuko talelive, kodvwa ngentsandvo yaNkulunkulu.

³ Ngobe lesikhatsi lesendlulile besenele kutsi nente lokutsandvwa ngemahedeni ngekuphila ngemanyala, nangetinkhanuko, nangekudzakwa, nangekumita, nangemsindvo, nangekukhonta tithico lokungakavumeleki.

⁴ Ayamangala kutsi anisahambisani ngani nawo kulomsindvo wekutiphatsa kabi, ayanetfuka.

⁵ Kepha ayawutiphendvulela kulowo losalungele kwehlulela labaphilako nalabafile.

⁶ Nguloko lokwabangela kutsi liVangeli lishunyayelwe ngisho nakulabafile, khona batekwehlulelwa njengabo bonkhe bantfu bemhlaba, kuze baphile kuNkulunkulu ngaMoya.

Baphatsi labalungile betipho taNkulunkulu

⁷ Siphetfo sato tonkhe tintfo sesisondzele. Ngako-ke tibambeni, nititsibe khona nitekwati kukhuleka.

⁸ Ngetulu kwako konkhe hlalani nitsandzana, ngobe lutsandvo lusibekela tono letinyenti.

⁹ Nibongenisana kahle emakhaya, ningemani.

¹⁰ Lowo nalowo lowemukele sipho semusa, akasisebentise ekukhonteni labanye njengenceku lenhle yemusa lomnyenti waNkulunkulu.

¹¹ Nangabe umuntfu akhuluma, akakhulume ngekwemavi aNkulunkulu; nangabe umuntfu akhonta, akakhonte ngemandla lawanikwa nguNkulunkulu, kuze kutsi kuko konkhe kudvunyiswe Nkulunkulu ngaJesu Khristu, lekukuye bukhosi nemandla phakadze naphakadze. Amen.

Kuhlupheka kwemKhristu

¹² Batsandzekako, ningamangaliswa ngulokuvivinywa lokubuhlungu kakhulu lokunikhantingako, kube shangatsi nehlelwa yintfo lengakavami.

¹³ Kodvwa tfokotani, ngobe ninesabelo etinhluphekweni taKhristu, kuze kutsi nitfokote kakhulu nakwembulwa bukhosi bakhe.

¹⁴ Nibusisiwe nanetfukwa ngenca yelibito laKhristu, ngobe loko kukhombisa kutsi Moya webukhosi, lowaNkulunkulu, unifukamele.

¹⁵ Kodvwa akubete kini lohlupheka ngobe angumbulali, nome lisela, nome lowenta lokubi, nome lotigaca etindzabeni talabanye bantfu.

¹⁶ Kepha nakukhona lohlupheka ngobe angumKhristu, abobate emahloni, kodvwa akadvumise Nkulunkulu ngenca yalelo bito.

¹⁷ Ngobe sesifikile sikhatsi sekwehlulela kutsi kucale kubendlu yaNkulunkulu; kepha nakucala kitsi, pho, siyawuba njani siphetfo salabo labangalaleli liVangeli laNkulunkulu?

¹⁸ UmBhalo utsi: “Nangabe kulukhuni kutsi kusindziswe lolungile, kuyawuba njani-ke kulongamesabi Nkulunkulu nalosoni?”

¹⁹ Ngako-ke labo labahlupheka ngekwentsandvo yaNkulunkulu abachubeke bente lokuhle, babeke imiphefumulo yabo kuMdali lowetsembekile.
