17. abathe bakuwufunqula, basebenza ngezinto zokunceda, bewubhinqisa umkhombe; kananjalo bathi, besoyika ukuba bangeyela esihlabeni, bazifinyeza iiseyile, baqhutywa benjalo.

19. nangowesithathu sayilahla ngezandla zethu impahla yomkhombe.
20. Kuthe ke, kwakubon' ukuba akubonakali langa nankwenkwezi iintsuku ezininzi, kucinezele neliqhwa elingelincinane, laphela kwathi tu lonke ithemba lokuba singásindiswa.

22. Nangoku ndiyaniluleka ukuba nibe nomxhelo owonwabileyo; kuba kuni aba, akukho uya kulahlekelwa bubomi bakhe, yoba ngumkhombe wodwa.
23. Kuba ngobu busuku bekumi ngakum isithunywa sikaThixo, endingowakhe, endimkhonzayo, sisithi,
24. Musa ukoyika, Pawulos, umelwe kukuma phambi koKesare;* uyabona, uThixo ukubabale ngabo bonke abasemkhombeni nawe.
25. Kungoko ndithi, Yibani nomxhelo owonwabileyo, madoda; kuba ndiyakholwa nguThixo, ukuba kuya kuba njalo ngolo hlobo athethe ngalo kum.
26. Kodwa simelwe kukuphoseka siqithini sithile.
