- Kaloku uThixo ihlabathi ulithande kangangokuba ude wancama uNyana okuphela kwakhe, ukuze wonke umntu ozinikele kuye ngokupheleleyo angatshabalali, koko abe nobona bomi bungenasiphelo.
- Hayi ubuhle bezinto ozigcinele abo bakuhlonelayo, Ndikhoyo;
zintle kambe izinto ozenzela abo bakholose ngawe! - Ewe, kaloku nguye idini elicamagushela izono zethu. Phofu akacamagusheli ezethu kuphela, koko ucamagushela ezehlabathi liphela.
- LelikaNdikhoyo ihlabathi liphela, nako konk' okukulo;
ndixel' ilizwe elimiweyo kunye nabemi balo. - Kuvumeni nikwamkele ukuba uNdikhoyo unguThixo wamazulu nehlabathi. Akukho Thixo wumbi ngaphandle kwakhe.
- Ze ningabi ndizise uxolo ehlabathini. Hayi, andizisanga luxolo, koko ndizise imbambano.
- Ndiya kukunika igunya kulawulo olutsha lukaThixo. Kuya kuthi okubophileyo emhlabeni, kubotshwe nasezulwini; kuthi nokukhululeyo emhlabeni, kukhululwe nasezulwini.
- Kaloku ngoKrestu uThixo wayelixolelanisa naye ngokwakhe ihlabathi, engasababeki tyala abantu ngezono zabo, waza wasiphathisa umsebenzi woxolelaniso.
- Ke nina, zihlobo zam, ningabantwana bakaThixo. Ninamandla kunabashumayeli abaxokayo. Kaloku lowo ninefuthe lakhe mkhulu kunalowo linefuthe lakhe ihlabathi.
- Kuba kaloku uThixo akamthumanga uNyana wakhe ehlabathini ukuze aligwebe, koko wamthuma ukuze abe nguMsindisi walo.
- Kungoko ke athe uThixo wamphakamisa kakhulu,
wamthi jize ngelona gama lingaphezu kwawo onke amanye amagama,
ukuze bonke abaphilayo,
ezulwini, emhlabeni, naphantsi komhlaba,
bagobe amadolo benika imbeko kwigama likaYesu. - Kodwa mna, mandingaqhayisi nganto ingenguwo umnqamlezo weNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu; kuba ngalo mnqamlezo ihlabathi lifile kum, nam ndifile kulo.
- Ngoku ke, ukuba niyandithobela, nenze ngokomnqophiso wam, niya kuba ngabantu bam ncakasana. Kaloku lelam ihlabathi liphela.
- Ndiya kukuncoma phakathi kweentlanga, Ndikhoyo;
ewe, ndokudumisa naphakathi kwezizwe. - Ndaphuma kuBawo, ndeza ehlabathini. Ngoku ke ndiyemka ehlabathini; ndiya kuBawo.
- Nantsi indlela asibonise ukusithanda kwakhe ngayo uThixo: Wathumela uNyana okuphela kwakhe emhlabeni, ukuze thina sidle ubomi ngaye.
- Awu, Thixo, zimaseka phezulu esibhakabhakeni;
isidima nesihomo sakho masibe phezu kwehlabathi jikelele. - Inene, lingaphela izulu nehlabathi, kodwa akuyi kupheliswa nalinye iganyana nokuba lisuntswana emthethweni, kungathanga kwenzeka konke.
- Thandazani ke ngoko nina nithi:
“ ‘Bawo wethu osezulwini:
Malaziwe lihlonelwe igama lakho,
malongame ulawulo lwakho,
makwenziwe ukuthanda kwakho, emhlabeni njengasezulwini.”’ - Masintyiloze sidumise uNdikhoyo,
kuba wenze imisebenzi emikhulukazi;
olu daba malufikelele ehlabathini jikelele. - Wabathamsanqelisa uThixo wathi: “Yandani, inzala yenu ilizalise ilizwe, nilongamele. Ndininika igunya phezu kweentlanzi, iintaka, nazo zonke izilo elizweni.”
- Ke mna ndithi kuni, maningakhe nifunge nento le; nokuba lizulu, ngokuba likomkhulu likaThixo; nokuba lihlabathi eli, ngokuba lingamathânga akhe; nokuba yiJerusalem, ngokuba ngumzi weKumkani yeekumkani.
- Inkulu ngokungenambaliso imfihlelo yonqulo lwethu. Kaloku uKrestu Yesu:
Wavela ngesimo sobuntu
waza wangqinelwa nguMoya,
wabonwa zizithunywa zezulu.
Washunyayelwa ezizweni,
wamkelwa lihlabathi,
waza wawongwa ezulwini. - Ndim isonka esinobomi, esihlileyo sivela ezulwini. Ukuba ubani uthe wasitya esi sonka, wophila ngonaphakade. Isonka endiya kumnika sona ngumzimba wam, endiwunikelayo ukuze ihlabathi liphile.
- Emhlabeni akukho mntu ulilungisa
owenza okuhle kuphela angoni.
