Yiza Ulungele Ukucikidwa

Utyelelo lwesithathu lumisiwe, yaye ngesi sihlandlo uPawulos akayi kubacongela abo baqhubeka besona. Babefuna ubungqina bokuba uKrestu uthetha ngaye, ngoko ujika uvavanyo: zicikideni nina. Angakhetha ukubonakala ebuthathaka emandleni kaBawo wethu, abafumane bephilile, kunokuba afike edilizela phantsi.

Isahluko 13.

Esi sihlandlo sesithathu ndiza kuni. “Lonke ihlazo malomiswe ngobungqina bamangqina amabini nokuba mathathu.” Ndabaxelela kwangaphambili abo bonayo ngaphambili, nabanye bonke, njengoko ndenjenjalo xa ndandikho ngesihlandlo sesibini sokunivelela, ndibaxelela nangoku ndingekho: ukuba ndithe ndabuya ndeza, andiyi kubacongela, ekubeni nina nifuna ubungqina bokuba uKrestu uthetha ngam. Yena akabuthathaki kuni, kodwa unamandla phakathi kwenu. Kuba wabethelelwa emnqamlezweni ebuthathaka, kanti uyaphila ngamandla kaBawo wethu. Kuba nathi sibuthathaka kuye, kodwa kuni siya kuphila naye ngamandla kaBawo wethu.

Zicikideni nina—ningaba nikukholo na? Zihlolisiseni. Anazi na ukuba uYesu Krestu ukuni, ngaphandle kokuba niyasilela ekucikidweni? Ndiyathemba ke ukuba niya kufumana ukuba thina asisilelanga ekucikidweni.

Sithandaza kuBawo wethu ukuba ningenzi nto imbi—kungekhona ukuba sizibonakalise sikholekile, kodwa ukuze nenze okulungileyo, nokuba sibonakala singakholekile. Kuba asinakuyichasa inyaniso, singayenzela kuphela inyaniso. Siyavuya xa thina sibuthathaka, nina nomelele; sithandazela nokubuyiselwa kwenu ngokupheleleyo. Yiyo loo nto ndizibhalayo ezi zinto ndingekho, ukuze xa ndikho ndingafuni ukuba lukhuni, ndisebenzisa igunya iNkosi endilinike lona—ukwakha, kungekho ukudiliza.

Uthando Noxolo lukaBawo wethu

Ekugqibeleni, bazalwana, vuyani, zabalazelani ukubuyiselwa ngokupheleleyo, omelezanani, cingani into enye, hlalani ngoxolo—uBawo wethu wothando noxolo woba nani. Bulisanani ngokwanga okungcwele.

Bonke abangcwele bayanibulisa.

Ubabalo lweNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, nothando lukaBawo wethu, nobudlelane obunzulu boMoya oyiNgcwele mabube nani nonke. ^a
