54 Uze ulandise ilifa leqela elinabantu abaninzi, ulinciphise ilifa leqela elinabantu abambalwa.+ Ilifa leqela ngalinye limele lilingane abantu ababhalisiweyo kulo.
55 Kodwa ke ilizwe lifanele lahlulwe ngamaqashiso.+ Abantu bamele balinikwe ilifa ngokwamagama ezizwe zootata babo.
56 Ilifa liza kufumaneka ngamaqashiso lize lahlulelwe amaqela amancinci namakhulu.”
