- Ngoko ke, nani zintlanga, anisengabo abasemzini neendwendwe. Niyimilowo nabantu bakaThixo; nilusapho lukaThixo. Nani ke nakhelwe phezu kwesiseko sabathunywa nabashumayeli, kodwa ke elona litye lesiseko nguYesu Krestu ngokwakhe.
- Makube lubabalo noxolo oluvela kuThixo uBawo wethu, neNkosi uYesu Krestu.
- UYesu wahlala phantsi, wababiza abafundi abalishumi elinambini, wathi kubo: “Ukuba ubani ufuna ukuba ngoyena mkhulu, makazenze oyena mncinci kubo bonke, abe sisicaka sabo bonke.”
- Kaloku omphikayo uNyana uyamphika kwanoYise; ukanti ke omamkelayo uNyana umamkele noYise.
- Kodwa yandiphendula yathi: “Ubabalo lwam lukwanele, kuba amandla am acaca xa ubuthathaka.” Ngoko ke ndikhetha ukuqhayisa ngezinto ezibonakalisa ubuthathaka bam, ukuze ndikuve ukongama kwamandla kaKrestu phezu kwam.
- Ndawo yokuqala ndazigqithisela kuni ezona ndawo ndazamkelayo, ezi zokuba uKrestu wafela izono zethu, ngokutsho kweziBhalo, nokuba wangcwatywa, nokuba wavuka ekufeni ngomhla wesithathu, ngokweziBhalo.
- Kwaza kwathi belapho lafika ixesha lokubeleka kwakhe. Wamzala ke unyana wakhe wamazibulo, wamsongela eziqhiyeni, wamlalisa emkhumbini wesitali, kuba kwakungekho ndawo endlwini yabahambi.
- Ngasentla kwentloko yakhe abeka ityala lakhe, kubhalwe kwathiwa: “Lo nguYesu uKumkani wamaJuda.”
- Andifekethi ngesisa sikaThixo; kuba, ukuba umntu ebenokuba lilungisa phambi koThixo ngenxa yokugcina umthetho, loo nto ibiya kuthetha ukuba wafumana wafa uKrestu.
- Abe njengaye uNyana woLuntu, yena ongezanga kukhonzwa, koko oweza kukhonza nokuncama ubomi bakhe bube yintlawulelo yokukhulula abaninzi.
- Kaloku ngoKrestu uThixo wayelixolelanisa naye ngokwakhe ihlabathi, engasababeki tyala abantu ngezono zabo, waza wasiphathisa umsebenzi woxolelaniso.
- Akukho namnye umntu owakha wambona uThixo. Abantu bamazi uThixo ngokumaziswa nguNyana okukuphela kwakhe, yena okwanguThixo, ohlala ehleli esenyongweni kuYise.
- Lowo usisicaka sam makandilandele, abe kunye nam apho ndikhoyo. Osisicaka sam ke uya kunikwa imbeko nguBawo.
- Kambe intshutshiso yomfikela nawuphi na umKrestu ofuna ukuhlala esoyika iNkosi.
- UBawo uSobomi wandithuma, ndaza ndangonobomi ngaye. Ngokukwanjalo othe wawutya umzimba wam uya kuba nobomi ngam.
- Ukuba ke kuthiwa kuni: ‘Nankuya entlango,’ ze ningayi; nokuba kuthiwa: ‘Nankuya endlwini,’ ze ningakwamkeli oko; kuba ukufika koNyana woLuntu kuya kuba njengombane omenyezela empumalanga, ubonakale kude kuse entshonalanga.
- Úya kuzala unyana, ùmthiye igama elinguYesu, kuba nguye oya kubasindisa abantu bakhe ezonweni zabo.
- Lowo uwutyayo umzimba wam, alisele negazi lam, yena uhlala kum, nam ndihlala kuye.
- Bawo, njengoko ubanike mna nje, ndithanda ukuba babe lapho ndikhoyo, babubone ubungangamsha ondinike bona, kuba wandithanda lingekadalwa nokudalwa ihlabathi.
- Uthembekile uThixo, yena wanibizayo ukuba nibe nobudlelane noNyana wakhe uYesu Krestu iNkosi yethu.
- Ukususela ngoko uYesu washumayela esithi: “Guqukani, kuba ulawulo lukaThixo lusemnyango.”
- Othe wathetha ilizwi elichasene naye uNyana woLuntu uya kuxolelwa, kodwa othe wathetha elichasene noMoya oyiNgcwele akayi kuxolelwa kweli phakade nakwelizayo.
- KuKrestu akusekho mJuda nantlanga, akusekho khoboka namntu ukhululekileyo, ndoda nabhinqa. Ninonke ningumntu omnye ngokumanywa noYesu Krestu.
- Kodwa ngoku, ngokumanywa noKrestu, nina kanye enanikade nikude lee, nisondeziwe ngokuphalala kwegazi likaKrestu.
- Ngoko ke olo daba naluvayo kwasekuqaleni lugcineni ezintliziyweni zenu. Ukuba ke olo daba naluvayo kwasekuqaleni luhleli kuni, nani niya kusoloko nimanyene noNyana ngokunjalo noYise.
