Izhibhalo Ezingcwele

1 UYohane 5

1 Bonke abakholwayo ukuba uYesu unguye uKristu, bazelwe nguThixo; bonke abamthandayo lowo wazalayo, bayamthanda nalowo uzelweyo nguye.2 Sazi ngale nto ukuba siyabathanda abantwana bakaThixo, xa sukuba simthanda uThixo, siyigcina imithetho yakhe.3 Kuba ukumthanda uThixo kuko ukuthi, siyigcine imithetho yakhe; ayinzima ke imithetho yakhe.4 Ngokuba konke okuzelweyo nguThixo kuyaleyisa ihlabathi; lulo ke olu uloyiso oluleyisayo ihlabathi, ukholo lwethu.5 Ngubani na lowo uleyisayo ihlabathi, ingenguye okholwayo ukuba uYesu unguye uNyana kaThixo?

6 Lowo ngulo wezayo ngamanzi negazi, uYesu Kristu; engenawo amanzi odwa, enawo amanzi, enalo igazi. UMoya ke ungulo ungqinayo, ngokuba uMoya uyiyo inyaniso.7 Ngokuba bathathu abo bangqinayo emazulwini: uYise, noLizwi, noMoya oyiNgcwele; abo bathathu banye.8 Bathathu abo bangqinayo emhlabeni : uMoya, namanzi, negazi; aba bathathu basingise ntweni-nye.9 Ukuba ubungqina babantu siyabamkela, ubungqina bukaThixo bungaphezulu; ngokuba bubo obu ubungqina bukaThixo, angqinele uNyana wakhe ngabo.

10 Lowo ukholwayo kuye uNyana kaThixo unabo ubungqina ngaphakathi kwakhe; lowo ungakholwayo nguye uThixo umenze ixoki, ngokuba engakholwanga bubo ubungqina abungqinele uNyana wakhe uThixo.11 Bubo obu ke ubungqina: ukuba uThixo usinike ubomi obungunaphakade; baye obo bomi bukuye uNyana wakhe.12 Lowo unaye uNyana, unabo ubomi; lowo ungenaye uNyana kaThixo, akanabo ubomi.13 Ndinibhalele ezi zinto, nina nikholwayo kwigama loNyana kaThixo, ukuze nazi ukuba ninobomi obungunaphakade, nokuze nikholwe kwigama loNyana kaThixo.

14 Kuko oku ukungafihlisi esinako kuye: ukuba sithi sicele into ngokokuthanda kwakhe, uyasiva.15 Ukuba siyazi okokuba uyasiva esisukuba sikucela, siyazi ukuba sinazo izinto ezicelwayo, esizicelileyo kuye.16 Ukuba umntu uthe wambona umzalwana wakhe esona isono esingasingisi kufeni, wocela, uThixo amnike ubomi, enika abo bonayo ngokungasingisi kufeni. Kukho sona sisingisa ekufeni; anditsho ukuthi makacelele sona.17 Konke ukungalungisi sisono; kukho sono singasingisi khona ekufeni.

18 Siyazi ukuba bonke abazelwe nguThixo aboni; usuke athi lowo wazalwayo nguThixo azigcine, aze ongendawo angamchukumisi.19 Siyazi ukuba singabakaThixo, nokuba ihlabathi liphela lilele kongendawo.20 Ke siyazi ukuba uNyana kaThixo ufikile, wasinika ingqondo, ukuze simazi oyinyaniso. Sikuye ke oyinyaniso, kuye uNyana wakhe uYesu Kristu. Nguye lo uThixo oyinyaniso, nobomi obungunaphakade.21 Bantwanana, zigcineni kuzo izithixo. Amen.
