14 ¹Phuthumani uthando, nilangazelele izipho zoMoya, kodwa ngokukodwa ukuze niprofete. ²Lowo uthetha ngolwimi akathethi ebantwini, kodwa uthetha kuBawo wethu—akukho bani omvayo—uthetha iimfihlelo ngoMoya. ³Kodwa lowo uprofetayo uthetha ebantwini okokubakha, ukubakhuthaza, nokubathuthuzela. ⁴Lowo uthetha ngolwimi uyazakha yena; lowo uprofetayo wakha ibandla. ⁵Ndithanda ukuba nonke nithethe ngeelwimi, kodwa kanye ukuba niprofete. Lowo uprofetayo mkhulu kunalowo uthetha ngeelwimi, ngaphandle kokuba uyatolika, ukuze ibandla lakhiwe.

⁶Ke ngoku, bazalwana, ukuba ndithe ndeza kuni ndithetha ngeelwimi, ndoninceda ngantoni na ukuba andithethi ngesityhilelo, okanye ukwazi, okanye isiprofeto, okanye imfundiso? ⁷Kananjalo nezinto ezingenabomi ezivakalisa isandi—nokuba ngugwali okanye luhadi—ukuba izwi lazo alicacanga, kuya kwaziwa njani na okubethwayo? ⁸Yaye ukuba ixilongo livakalisa isandi esingacacanga, ngubani na oya kulungiselela imfazwe? ⁹Kunjalo nakuni: ukuba ulwimi lwenu aluthethi lizwi licacileyo, kuya kwaziwa njani na okuthethwayo? Kuba niya kuba nithetha emoyeni nje. ¹⁰Zininzi kangaka iintlobo zeelwimi ezikhoyo ehlabathini, ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo; akukho nanye engenantsingiselo. ¹¹Ngoko ke ukuba andiyazi intsingiselo yesandi, ndoba ngowasemzini kulowo uthethayo, naye lowo uthethayo abe ngowasemzini kum. ¹²Kunjalo nakuni: ekubeni nilangazelela izipho zoMoya, funani ukuncamisa ekwakhiweni kwebandla. ¹³Ngoko ke, lowo uthetha ngolwimi makathandaze ukuze alutolike. ¹⁴Ukuba ndithandaza ngolwimi, umoya wam uyathandaza, kodwa ingqondo yam ingenasiqhamo.

¹⁵Ndenze njani ke ngoko? Ndiya kuthandaza ngomoya wam, ndithandaze nangengqondo yam; ndiya kuvuma indumiso ngomoya wam, ndivume indumiso nangengqondo yam. ¹⁶Kungenjalo, ukuba uthi ubonga ngomoya, lowo ungaphandle ohleli apho angathini na ukuthi “Amen” ekubuleleni kwakho, ekubeni engakwazi okuthethwayo nguwe? ¹⁷Wena mhlawumbi ubulele kakuhle, kodwa omnye umntu akakhiwa. ¹⁸Ndiyabulela kuBawo wethu ngokuba ndithetha ngeelwimi ngaphezu kwenu nonke. ¹⁹Kodwa ebandleni ndingathanda ukuthetha amazwi amahlanu ngengqondo yam, ukuze ndifundise nabanye, kunamazwi angamawaka alishumi ngolwimi.

²⁰Bazalwana, musani ukucinga njengabantwana. Yibani ziintsana ebubini, kodwa nibe ngabakhulileyo engqondweni.

²¹Umthetho uthi: “Ndiya kuthetha kwaba bantu ngeelwimi zolunye uhlanga nangemilebe yabasemzini, kananjalo noko abayi kundiphulaphula,” utsho uBawo wethu.

²²Ngoko iilwimi zingumqondiso, kungekho kwabakholwayo kodwa kwabangakholwayo; isiprofeto singumqondiso, kungekho kwabangakholwayo kodwa kwabakholwayo. ²³Ngoko ke ukuba lonke ibandla lihlangene, bathethe ngeelwimi bonke, kwaye kungena abangaphandle okanye abangakholwayo, abayi kuthi na niyageza? ²⁴Kodwa ukuba bonke bayaprofeta, kwaye kungena ongakholwayo okanye ongaphandle, uyohlwaywa ngabo bonke, aphengululwe ngabo bonke, ²⁵iimfihlo zentliziyo yakhe zityhileke; aze awe ngobuso bakhe aqubude kuBawo wethu, evakalisa ukuba inene uBawo wethu uphakathi kwenu.

Unqulo Ngendlela Efanelekileyo

²⁶Kuthekani ke, bazalwana? Xa nihlanganisana, ngamnye unengoma, imfundiso, isityhilo, ulwimi, okanye ingcaciso. Konke makwenziwe ekwakhiweni. ²⁷Ukuba ubani uthetha ngolwimi, mababe babini okanye bathathu ubukhulu becala, ngamnye ngethuba lakhe, aze omnye atolike. ²⁸Ukuba akukho mtoliki, makathi cwaka ebandleni, athethe kuye yedwa nakuBawo wethu. ²⁹Mabathethe abaprofeti ababini okanye abathathu, baze abanye bakucikide ngenyameko oko kuthethiweyo. ³⁰Yaye ukuba kufikelwa sisityhilelo komnye ohleli apho, lowo uthetha kuqala makathi cwaka. ³¹Kuba ningaprofeta nonke ngamnye ngamnye, ukuze wonke umntu afunde, wonke umntu akhuthazwe, ³²yaye oomoya babaprofeti baphantsi kwabaprofeti. ³³Kuba uBawo wethu akanguThixo wesiphithiphithi kodwa owoxolo, njengoko kunjalo kuwo onke amabandla abangcwele. ³⁴Abafazi mabathi cwaka kumabandla; abavunyelwanga ukuthetha, kodwa mabazithobe, njengoko nomthetho utsho. ^a a v34 Eminye imibhalo-ngqangi ibeka iindinyana 34-35 emva kwendinyana 40. ³⁵Ukuba bafuna ukufunda nantoni na, mababuze kumadoda abo ekhaya; kulihlazo ukuba umfazi athethe ebandleni. ³⁶Okanye ilizwi likaBawo wethu laqala kuni na? Okanye lafikelela kuni nodwa na? ³⁷Nabani na ozicingela ukuba ungumprofeti okanye ungowoMoya, makakuqonde ukuba oko ndinibhalela kona ngumyalelo weNkosi. ³⁸Kodwa ukuba ubani akakuhoyi oku, naye akayi kuhoywa.

³⁹Ngoko ke, bazalwana bam, langazelelani ukuprofeta, ningakuthinteli ukuthetha ngeelwimi. ⁴⁰Kodwa konke makwenziwe ngendlela efanelekileyo nenocwangco.
