15. Sofunyanwa ke singawo namangqina amxokayo uThixo, ngokuba sangqinayo ngoThixo ukuba wamvusa uKristu: angàmvusanga, ukuba ke kanti abafileyo abavuki.
16. Kuba, ukuba abafileyo abavuki, noKristu woba akavukanga.
17. Ukuba ke uKristu akavukanga, loba luyinto engeyanto ukholo lwenu, noba nisesezonweni zenu;
18. ngoko nabalele ukufa bekuKristu, boba batshabalele.
19. Ukuba singabathembele kuKristu kobu bomi bodwa, soba sizezona ntsizana kubantu bonke.
20. UKristu yena kunje uvukile kwabafileyo, waba yintlahlela yabalele ukufa.
21. Kuba ekubeni kaloku kungomntu ukufa, kukwangomntu ukuvuka kwabafileyo.
22. Kuba, njengokuba kuye uAdam bafa bonke, ngokunjalo nakuye uKristu baya kudliswa ubomi bonke:
23. elowo ke kolwakhe uluhlu; intlahlela inguKristu, kamva abakaKristu ekufikeni kwakhe;
24. kwandule ke ukubakho isiphelo, xa athe wabunikela ubukumkani kuye uThixo uYise, xa athe wabubhangisa bonke ubulawuli, nalo lonke igunya, namandla.
25. Kuba umelwe yena kukuthi alawule, ade azibeke phantsi kweenyawo zakhe zonke iintshaba.
26. Olokugqibela utshaba oluya kubhangiswa kukufa;
27. kuba izinto zonke wazithobela phantsi kweenyawo zakhe. Ke xa athi, Izinto zonke zithotyiwe, kuyabonakala ukuba àkabalwa lowo wazithobela phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto.
28. Xa ke zithe zathotyelwa phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto, uya kwandula noNyana ngokwakhe athotyelwe phantsi kwalowo wazithobela phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto, ukuze uThixo abe zizinto zonke kubo bonke.
29. Okanye baya kwenza ntoni na abo babhaptizelwa abafileyo, ukuba abafileyo àbaze bavuke? Yini na ukuba babhaptizelwe nokubhaptizelwa abafileyo?
30. Nathi, yini na ukuba sibe semngciphekweni amaxa onke?
