6. Okuzelwe yinyama kuyinyama, nokuzelwe nguMoya kungumoya.
7. Musa ukumangaliswa kukuba ndithe kuwe, Nimelwe kukuthi nizalwe ngokutsha.
8. Umoya uphepheza apho uthanda khona, ùze usive isandi sawo, kodwa ungawazi apho úvela khona, nalapho úsinga khona: bakwanjalo bonke abazelwe nguMoya.

11. Inene, inene, ndithi kuwe, Sithetha esikwaziyo, singqine esikubonileyo; nisuke ningabamkeli ubungqina bethu.
