- Ndaweni yaloo nto yenzelanani ububele ninobulali, nixolelane, kwanjengokuba naye uThixo wanixolelayo ngoKrestu.
- Kungenxa yezibele zikaNdikhoyo singatshabalalanga nje,
kuba inceba yakhe ayinasiphelo.
Zihlala zintsha imihla ngemihla;
kukhulu ukuthembeka kwakhe. - Ndiphetha ngelithi: Velanani, nibe moya mnye. Thandanani, nenzelane ububele, nilulamelane.
- Makabongwe uThixo, uyise weNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, uBawo uSozinceba, uThixo umthombo wentuthuzelo. Yena uyasithuthuzela ezimbandezelweni zethu zonke, ukuze nathi sikwazi ukubathuthuzela abanye kwangaloo ntuthuzelo ivela kuye.

- Vuyani nabavuyayo, nilile nabalilayo.
- Ukuba umntu omi kakuhle ngezinto zobu bomi ubona uwabo eswele, aze amvimbe into engamncedayo, angatsho njani loo mntu ukuba unalo uthando lukaThixo entliziyweni yakhe?
- Utsho uNdikhoyo onamandla onke ukuthi: ‘Wisani izigwebo ezinyanisekileyo, nenzelane ububele nenceba omnye nomnye. Musani ukubacinezela abahlolokazi neenkedama, ngokunjalo nabangeneleli kunye namahlwempu, ningayili ububi ezintliziyweni zenu omnye komnye.’
- Waphendula ke esithi:
“Ngaba umfazi angalulibala na usana lwakhe,
ade angavakalelwa ngowakhe umntwana?
Noba ke yena angade amlibale,
okokwam ke mna soze ndikufulathele,
kuba igama lakho ndilivambile,
ndilithe tyaba esandleni sam;
iindonga zakho zihlala zisemehlweni am.” - Bufana nomzali kubantwana
ububele bukaNdikhoyo kwabamnik' imbeko. - Kambe ke uNdikhoyo usanilindele,
usazungula ukunibabala ngesisa.
Kaloku yena nguThixo ongajika-jikiyo;
hayi ithamsanqa labo bakholosa ngaye! - Kaloku owethu umbingeleli omkhulu ngosivelayo ebuthathakeni bethu, kuba walingwa ngeendlela zonke njengathi, kodwa zange one.
- “Ewe, iintaba zingadilika,
ke zona iinduli zinyamalale,
kodwa izibele zothando lwam soze zinqamke kuwe,
nomnqophiso wam woxolo soze ushukume.”
Utsho ke yena uNdikhoyo okukhathaleleyo. - Ndiza kuyomeleza indlu kaJuda,
ndiyihlangule indlu kaJosefu.
Ewe, ndoba nebuyambo ngakubo;
kaloku mna ndinenceba ngabo.
Boba ngathi zange ndibalahle.
Kaloku mna ndinguNdikhoyo uThixo wabo,
ndaye ke ndobaphendula. - Nangoku wobuya uvelane nathi,
izono zethu uzinyathele ngeenyawo,
uzilahle lee iziphoso zethu,
uzintywilisele enzulwini yolwandle.
