“Wenze konke kwaba kuhle ngesikhathi sako. Uze wafaka ngisho nobuphakade ezinhliziyweni zawo; kodwa abantu abasoze bawuthole umsebenzi uNkulunkulu weqiniso awenzile kusukela ekuqaleni kuze kube sekugcineni.”—UmShumayeli 3:11, IBhayibheli—ImiBhalo Engcwele.

 “Wenze konke kwaba kuhle ngesikhathi sakho, ubeke nokuphakade ezinhliziyweni zabo; nokho umuntu angefumane umsebenzi awenzile uNkulunkulu kwasekuqaleni kuze kube sekupheleni.”—UmShumayeli 3:11, New International Version.
