16. Sikwazile thina, sakholwa kukusithanda kukaThixo.UThixo uluthando; lowo uhleli eluthandweni uhleli kuye uThixo, noThixo uhleli kuye.
17. Lugqibelele ngale nto uthando olukuthi, ukuze sibe nokungafihlisi ngomhla womgwebo; ngokuba, njengoko anjalo yena, sinjalo nathi kweli hlabathi.
18. Akukho loyiko eluthandweni; lusuka uthando olugqibeleleyo luluphose phandle uloyiko; ngokuba uloyiko lunexhala; lowo ke woyikayo akagqibelele eluthandweni.
19. Thina siyamthanda, ngokuba yena wasithanda kuqala.
20. Ukuba umntu uthe, Ndiyamthanda uThixo, wamthiya umzalwana wakhe, ulixoki; kuba lowo ungamthandiyo umzalwana wakhe ambonileyo, angáthini na ukumthanda uThixo angambonanga?
21. Nguwo lo umthetho esinawo uvela kuye: ukuba athi lowo umthandayo uThixo, amthande nomzalwana wakhe.
