8 wathi ngemo yomntu, wazithoba, waba ngolulamileyo, wada wesa ekufeni, ukufa kwasemnqamlezweni.
9 Kungoko athe uThixo wamphakamisa kakhulu, wamnika igama elingaphezu kwawo onke amagama;
Landela imiyalelo kaNdikhoyo
Enye into ebonakalisa isidalwa esiphila ngokuzithoba kunye nentsingiselo yeBhayibhile kukuba uphila kumthetho ngamnye kaThixo. Oku akuyondlwan’ iyanetha, ukuhlala kwindlela emxinwa yeNkosi akuyondlwan’ iyanetha kwaye kufuneka sikuqonde oko.
Asinakuhamba sodwa kuba asizukwazi ukuyifikelela. Kodwa, ukuba siyazithoba, sithandaze kwaye simcele uKristu ngentliziyo ethobekileyo ukuba asincede sizalisekise ngamnye kwimimiselo yakhe, sinokuyifeza kwaye siyifezekise.
