1 Ngakho-ke, wobani ngabalingiseli bakaNkulunkulu njengabantwana abathandwa kakhulu 2 liphile impilo yothando, njengalokhu uKhristu wasithanda wazinikela ngenxa yethu njengomnikelo olephunga elimnandi lomhlatshelo kaNkulunkulu. 3 Kodwa phakathi kwenu Akungabikhona umthonselanyana wokuhlobonga loba uhlobo luphi lokungcola kumbe ubuhwaba ngoba lezizinto kazifanelanga ebantwini abangcwele bakaNkulunkulu. 4 Njalo akumelanga kube lenhlamba lenkulumo zobuthutha loba ubuphoxo khona okuyizinto ezingafanelanga kodwa kakube lokubonga. 5 Ngoba kuliqiniso ukuthi: Akulamuntu oyisixhwali, ongcolileyo loba oyisihwaba, umuntu onjalo ukhonza izithombe, olelifa embusweni kaKhristu lokaNkulunkulu. 6 Lingavumi ukukhohliswa ngumuntu ngamazwi ayize ngoba ngenxa yezinto ezinje ulaka lukaNkulunkulu lwehlela phezu kwalabo abangalaleliyo. 7 Ngakho lingahlanganyeli labo. 8 Ngoba lake laba yibumnyama kodwa khathesi seliyikukhanya eNkosini. Philani njengabantwana bokukhanya 9 (ngoba izithelo zokukhanya zikhona kubo bonke ubuhle lokulunga kanye leqiniso) 10 lidinge okuthokozisa iNkosi. 11 Lingahlanganyeli ezenzweni zobumnyama ezingelazithelo kodwa zichayeni sobala. 12 Ngoba kulihlazo lokukutsho nje okwenziwa yizigangi ensitha. 13 Kodwa konke okuvezwe obala yikukhanya kuyabonakala, 14 ngoba yikukhanya okwenza izinto zonke zibonakale. Yikho-nje kuthiwa:“Phaphama, wena oleleyo,vuka kwabafileyo,uKhristu uzakhanya kuwe.” 15 Ngakho-ke, qaphelani kakhulu ukuba liphila njani, kungabi njengezithutha kodwa njengabahlakaniphileyo, 16 liwasebenzise ngokupheleleyo amathuba wonke ngoba insuku zimbi. 17 Ngakho-ke, lingabi yiziwula kodwa qedisisani ukuthi intando kaThixo iyini. 18 Lingadakwa liwayini okuthungamela ekoneni. Kodwa gcwaliswani ngoMoya, 19 likhulumisana omunye komunye ngamahubo, amaculo kanye lezingoma zakoMoya. Hlabelani lenzele iNkosi imiculo ezinhliziyweni zenu 20 limbonge kokuphela uNkulunkulu uBaba kukho konke, ngebizo leNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu. 21 Zehliseni omunye komunye lihlonipha uKhristu. 22 Bafazi, zehliseni kubomkenu njengaseNkosini. 23 Ngoba indoda yinhloko yomfazi njengoKhristu eyinhloko yebandla elingumzimba wakhe, yena onguMsindisi walo. 24 Ngakho njengebandla lizehlisa kuKhristu ngokunjalo abesifazane kumele bazehlise kubomkabo ezintweni zonke. 25 Madoda thandani omkenu njengoKhristu owathanda ibandla wazinikela ngenxa yalo 26 ukuba alenze libengcwele, elihlambulula ngokuligezisa ngamanzi esebenzisa ilizwi, 27 kanye lokulethula kuye njengebandla elilenkazimulo, elingelasici loba ukuba mxhilibane kumbe esinye nje isici kodwa lingcwele njalo lingelacala. 28 Ngokunjalo, amadoda kumele athande omkawo njengemizimba yawo. Lowo othanda umkakhe uyazithanda yena ngokwakhe. 29 Belo, kakho owake wazonda umzimba wakhe kodwa uwunika ukudla awulondoloze njengokwenziwa nguKhristu ebandleni, 30 ngoba thina siyizitho zomzimba wakhe. 31 “Ngenxa yalokhu indoda izatshiya uyise lonina ihlanganiswe lomkayo njalo ababili laba bazakuba nyamanye.” 32 Le yimfihlakalo enkulu kodwa mina ngikhuluma ngoKhristu lebandla. 33 Kodwa omunye lomunye wenu laye kathande umkakhe njengoba ezithanda, lomfazi kumele ahloniphe indoda yakhe.
