Incwadi Yesibili Eya KwebeKorinte 5:1-21
5 Siyazi ukuthi nangabe indlwethu yephasini, itendeli, iyagirizwa,+ sizokuba nomakhiwo ovela kuZimu, indlu engakenziwa ngezandla+ ehlala ngokungapheliko ezulwini.
2 Ngendlini le siyabubula kwamambala, sifuna ukumbatha indlwethu evela ezulwini,+
3 nasiyimbathako angekhe sifunyanwe sihlubule.
4 Thina abangetendeneli siyabubula, sithwele budisi ngombana asifuni ukuyihlubula le kodwana sifuna ukumbatha leya enye,+ bona lokho okufako kuginywe kuphila.+
5 Nje-ke nguZimu osilungiselele lokhu,+ osinikele ummoya bona usiqinisekise ngalokho okuzako.+
6 Ngalokho sihlala sinesibindi khulu begodu sazi ukuthi ikhaya lethu nalisesemzimbeni lo, asikho eKosini+
7 ngombana sikhamba ngokukholwa, asikhambi ngokubona.
8 Sinesibindi khulu begodu singanyula ukungabi khona emzimbeni lo, siyokuhlala neKosi lapho ikhona.+
9 Nje-ke nanyana sisekhaya nayo namkha singasinayo, silwela ukuthi samukeleke kiyo.
10 Ngombana soke kufuze sivele phambi kwesihlalo sokwahlulela sakaKrestu, ukuze ngamunye abuyiselwe ngokwalokho akwenzileko nakasesemzimbeni lo, kungaba ngokuhle namkha okumbi.+
11 Nje-ke njengombana sikwazi ukusaba iKosi, sisolo senza abantu basikholwe kodwana uZimu usazi kuhle. Nanyana kunjalo, ngithemba bona nabonembeza benu basazi kuhle.
12 Asizibuki kini godu kodwana sininikela isizathu sokuzikhakhazisa ngathi, ukuze nikghone ukuphendula labo abazikhakhazisa ngokuqaleka kwangaphandle+ ingasi ngokwalokho okusehliziyweni.
13 Ngombana nangabe besirhapha,+ besirhaphela uZimu; nangabe besiphile kuhle emkhumbulweni, besikwenzela nina.
14 Ithando uKrestu analo liyasiraga ngombana siswaphelise ngokuthi, umuntu munye wabafela boke,+ nje-ke boke bafile.
15 Wafela boke bona labo abaphilako bangasaziphileli+ kodwana baphilele loyo owabafelako begodu wavuswa.
16 Nje-ke kusukela nje asazi muntu ngombono wenyama.+ Ngitjho nanyana kungenzeka ukuthi khesazi uKrestu ngokwenyama, ngokuqinisekileko asisamazi ngendlela leyo.+
17 Yeke nangabe umuntu usebunyeni noKrestu, uyindalo etja,+ izinto ezidala zidlulile, qalani sekube nezinto ezitja.
18 Kodwana zoke izinto zivela kuZimu osenze sabuyisana naye ngoKrestu,+ wasinikela nomsebenzi wokubuyisana,+
19 okutjho bona uZimu bekenza iphasi libuyisane naye ngoKrestu,+ akhenge abale imitjhaphwalo,+ wasiphathisa nomlayezo wokubuyisana.+
20 Nje-ke sibazenda+ abajamele uKrestu,+ ngasuthi uZimu uncenga ngathi. Njengabajameli bakaKrestu, siyancenga sithi: “Buyisanani noZimu.”
21 Loyo obekangasazi isono,+ wenziwa umnikelo wesono ngebanga lethu bona ngaye sibe kulunga kwakaZimu.+
