11. Ke yena uKristu, efike wangumbingeleli omkhulu wazo izinto ezilungileyo eziza kubakho, uthe ngowona mkhulu ugqibeleleyo umnquba, ongenakwenziwa ngazandla, oko kukuthi, ongengowale ndalo,
12. wangena kwaba kanye kweyona ngcwele, kungengalo negazi leebhokhwe nelamathole, kungegazi elilelakhe; wafumana inkululo engunaphakade ngokusihlawulela.
13. Kuba, ukuba igazi leenkomo neleebhokhwe, nothuthu lwethokazi olufefa abaziinqambi, lungcwalisela ekuhlambululeni inyama:
14. lobeka phi na ukugqithisela lona igazi likaKristu, owazisondeza ngoMoya ongunaphakade, engenasiphako, kuye uThixo, ukusihlambulula isazela senu emisebenzini efileyo, ukuze nikhonze uThixo ophilileyo?
15. Nangenxa ke yoko, ungumlamleli womnqophiso omtsha, ukuze bathi abo babiziweyo (kwakubon' ukuba kubékho ukufa okuhlawulela izigqitho, ezibe ziphantsi kwawo umnqophiso wokuqala), balamkele idinga lelifa elingunaphakade.
