9. Ningabizi mntu ngokuba nguyihlo emhlabeni apha; kuba mnye uYihlo wenu, lowo usemazulwini.
10. Kananjalo maningabizwa ngokuba ningabakhokeli; kuba mnye uMkhokeli wenu, uKristu.
11. Omkhulu ke kuni makabe ngumlungiseleli wenu.
12. Osukuba ke eziphakamisa uya kuthotywa; nosukuba ezithoba uya kuphakanyiswa.
13. Yeha, nina babhali, baFarisi, bahanahanisindini! Ngokuba nibuvala ubukumkani bamazulu phambi kwabantu; kuba aningeni nina, nabangénayo anibavumeli ukuba bangene.
14. Yeha, nina babhali, baFarisi, bahanahanisindini! Ngokuba nisidla izindlu zabahlolokazi, nize ngokunyhwalaza nithandaze uzungu; ngenxa yoko niya kwamkela ugwebo olugqithiseleyo.
15. Yeha, nina babhali, baFarisi, bahanahanisindini! Ngokuba nijikajika ulwandle nomhlaba ukuze nenze nokuba mnye ongena ebuYudeni; nithi, xa athe wazuzeka, nimenze abe ngumntwana wesihogo ngokuphindiweyo kunani.
16. Yeha, nina bakhokelindini baziimfama! Nina nithi, Othe wafunga itempile, akunto oko; ke othe wafunga igolide yetempile, unetyala.
17. Ziyatha, zimfama, kanene yiyiphi na enkulu? Yigolide, yitempile eyingcwalisayo igolide, kusini na?
18. Kanjalo nina nithi, Othe wafunga isibingelelo, akunto oko; ke othe wafunga umnikelo ophezu kwaso, unetyala.
19. Ziyatha, zimfama, kanene yiyiphi na enkulu? Ngumnikelo, sisibingelelo esiwungcwalisayo umnikelo, kusini na?
20. Lowo usifungayo ngoko isibingelelo ufunga sona neento zonke eziphezu kwaso.
21. Nalowo uyifungayo itempile, ufunga yona nomiyo kuyo.
22. Nalowo uwafungayo amazulu, ufunga itrone kaThixo nohleli phezu kwayo.
23. Yeha, nina babhali, baFarisi, bahanahanisindini! Ngokuba ninikela izishumi zetyeleba nedile* nekumin,* kanti nizishiyile ezona ndawo zinzima zomthetho, umgwebo nenceba nokholo; ezi benimelwe kukuba nizenze, nithi neziya ningazishiyi.
