- Ningenzi lutho ngombango nangodumo lwezwe; kepha ngokuthobeka nishaye sengathi abanye bakhulu kunani.
- Akungabikho ozifunela okwakhe, kodwa akube yilowo nalowo afunele omunye.
- Uthando luyabekezela, uthando lumnene, alunamhawu, uthando aluzigabisi, aluzikhukhumezi; aluziphathi ngokungafanele, aluzifuneli okwalo, alucunuki, alunagqubu.
- Ngokuba lapho kukhona umhawu nombango, kukhona isiyaluyalu nezenzo zonke ezimbi.
- Umphefumulo ophanayo uyakukhuluphaliswa;
ophuzisayo uyakuphuziswa naye. - Isiwula asithokozi ngokuqonda,
kuphela ngokuveza okusenhliziyweni yakhe. - Yilowo nalowo kithi makathokozise umakhelwane, kube kuhle, aze akheke.
- Owesibili yilo: ‘Womthanda umakhelwame wakho njengalokhu uzithanda wena.’ Awukho omunye umyalo omkhulu kunale.
- Makungabikho ozikhohlisayo; uma umuntu phakathi kwenu ethi uhlakaniphile kulesi sikhathi, akabe yisiwula, ukuze ahlakaniphe.
- Thobisela inhliziyo yami ebufakazini bakho,

- Kepha ukuphila angikushayi into yalutho ukuba kube yigugu kimi, kuphela ukuba ngiphelelise ukuhamba kwami nenkonzo engayamukela eNkosini uJesu yokufakaza ngevangeli lomusa kaNkulunkulu.
- Wayesebiza isixuku nabafundi bakhe, wathi kubo: “Uma umuntu ethanda ukuza emva kwami, makazidele, athabathe isiphambano sakhe, angilandele.”
