1 Kukho na umntu kuni, enendawo ngakomnye, onobuganga bokummangalela phambi kwabangemalungisa, angammangaleli phambi kwabangcwele?2 Anazi na, ukuba abangcwele aba baya kuligweba ihlabathi? Ukuba ke ihlabathi ligwetywa phambi kwenu, anikufanele na ukuwathetha awona mancinanana amatyala?3 Anazi na, ukuba siya kugweba izithunywa zezulu? Kobeka phi na ke kwizinto zobu bomi?4 Xa sukuba ke ngoko nisiya ematyaleni ngezinto zobu bomi, nimisa abo bangento kulo ibandla, ukuba kugwebe bona na?5 Nditsho ukuze nidane. Kude akwabakho noko sisinye na isilumko phakathi kwenu, esingaba nako ukulamla phakathi kwabo abazalwana?6 Usuka umzalwana amangalelane nomzalwana, athi noko akwenze phambi kwabangakholiweyo.7 Seninciphile ke kanye ngokokuthi nimangalelane. Yini na ukuba ningathi kanye nivume ukoniwa? Yini na ukuba ningathi kanye nivume ukulunyukiswa?8 Nisuka nina none abanye, nilumkise, nako oko nibe nikwenza kubazalwana.

9 Anazi na, ukuba abangemalungisa abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo? Musani ukulahlekiswa; abenza umbulo, nabakhonzi bezithixo, nabakrexezi, nezifebe, namadoda alalanayo,10 namasela, namabawa, namanxila, nabatshabhisi, nabaphangi, abayi kubudla ilifa ubukumkani bukaThixo.11 Naye ninjalo ke inxenye yenu; kuloko nahlanjululwayo, kuloko nangcwaliswayo, kuloko nagwetyelwayo egameni leNkosi uYesu, nangoMoya kaThixo wethu.

12 Zonke izinto zivumelekile kum, noko azindilungele zonke. Zonke izinto zivumelekile kum, noko asindim oya kubekwa phantsi kwagunya lelayiphi;13 izidlo zezesisu, nesisu sesezidlo; kodwa uThixo uya kubhangisa kokubini, sona nazo. Ke wona umzimba asingowombulo, ngoweNkosi; nayo iNkosi yeyomzimba.14 UThixo ke wayivusa iNkosi leyo; uya kusivusa nathi ngamandla akhe.15 Anazi na ukuba imizimba yenu ngamalungu kaKristu? Ndiya kuthi na ke, ndiwathabathe amalungu kaKristu lowo, ndiwenze amalungu ehenyukazi? Nakanye!16 Anazi na, ukuba onamathele kulo ihenyukazi, umzimba mnye nalo? Kuba kuthiwa, Abo babini boba nyama-nye.17 Ke onamathele eNkosini, umoya mnye nayo.18 Wubalekeni umbulo. Zonke izono athe umntu wazenza, zingaphandle komzimba; ke lowo wenza umbulo, wona owakhe umzimba.19 Anazi na, ukuba umzimba wenu uyitempile yoMoya oyiNgcwele ongaphakathi kwenu, eninaye evela kuThixo; nokuba ke aningabenu?20 Kuba nathengwa ngexabiso. Mzukiseni ke uThixo ngomzimba wenu nangomoya wenu, izinto ezizezikaThixo ezo.
