1Musani ukuba ngabafundisi abaninzi, bazalwana bam, nisazi nje ukuba siya kwamkela olona lukhulu ugwebo.2Kuba siyakhubeka kaninzi sonke. Ukuba umntu akakhubeki zwini, lowo uyindoda egqibeleleyo, enako ukuwubamba ngomkhala nawo umzimba uphela.3Yabona, sifaka imikhala emilonyeni yamahashe, ukuba asithambele, siwajike umzimba wawo uphela.4Yabona, nayo imikhombe, imikhulu kangaka nje, iqhutywa nje yimimoya enamandla, ijikwa ngomthi wokujika omncinanana, iye apho sukuba umlawuli angxamele ukuba ingaya ngakhona.5Ngokunjalo nalo ulwimi, lulilungu elincinanana nje, luyagwagwisa kakhulu. Yabona ke, umlilo omncinane utshisa ihlathi elikhulu.6Nolwimi olu ngumlilo, lihlabathi elizele kukungalungisi; lunjalo ulwimi ukuhlala phakathi kwamalungu ethu. Lona luyawudyobha umzimba uphela, luvuthisa intenda yobomi; lona ke luvuthiswa sisihogo somlilo.7Kuba zonke iimvelo zezinto ezizitho zine, kwanezeentaka, nezezinambuzane, kwanezezinto eziselwandle, ziyadanjiswa, kanjalo sezikhe zadanjiswa yimvelo eyiyeyabantu;8ke lona ulwimi alunaye noko amnye ebantwini, unokuludambisa; lubububi obungenakubanjwa, luzele bubuhlungu obubulalayo.9Ngalo siyambonga uThixo uYise, nangalo siyabaqalekisa abantu abenziwe ngokomfanekiselo kaThixo.10Kwakulo mlomo mnye kuphuma intsikelelo nengqalekiso. Akufanelekile, bazalwana bam, ukuba ezi zinto zibe nje.11Umthombo umpompoza amnandi nakrakra kwangelo liso linye, yini na?12Unako yini na, bazalwana bam, umkhiwane ukuvelisa iinkozo zomnquma, uthi umdiliya uvelise amakhiwane? Ngokunjalo akukho namnye umthombo ongavelisa amanzi amtyuba namnandi.13Ngubani na olumkileyo, owaziyo kakuhle phakathi kwenu? Makayibonise imisebenzi yakhe ngehambo entle, enobulali bobulumko.14Ke, ukuba ninomona okrakra neyelenqe entliziyweni yenu, musani ukuyiqhayisela nokuyixoka inyaniso.15Obo bulumko asibubo obuhla phezulu; bobasemhlabeni, bobemvelo, bobeedemon.16Kuba apho kukhoyo umona neyelenqe, kubakho isiphithiphithi nemicimbi emibi yonke.17Ke bona ubulumko baphezulu ukuqala bunyulu, buze bube boboxolo; buyancendezela, buthozame kakuhle, buzele yinceba neziqhamo ezilungileyo; abunankani, abunaluhanahaniso.18Isiqhamo ke sobulungisa sihlwayelwa ngoxolo ngabo benza uxolo.
