Ngakho-ke samsindisa kanye nalabo ababesemkhunjini futhi sakwenza lokho kwaba yisifundo emihlabeni
No-Abraham khumbula ngenkathi ethi kubantu bakhe, “khonzani uMvelinqangi futhi nimesabe lokho kungcono kunina ukube benazi”
Kuphela nikhonza izithombe esikhundleni sikaMvelinqangi futhi niqamba amanga ngempela labo enibakhonzayo esikhundleni sikaMvelinqangi abanawo amandla okunika isabelo, ngakho-ke sifuneni kuMvelinqangi isabelo futhi mkhonzeni, futhi nimbonge niyophindiselwa kuyena
Futhi uma niwuphika (umyalezo) ngempela izizwe zawuphika ngaphambilini kwenu futhi awukho umsebenzi ophezu kwesithunywa ngaphandle kokudlulisela umyalezo ocacile
Aniboni yini ukuthi uMvelinqangi uyisungula kanjani indalo bese eyiveza kabusha ngempela lokho kulula kuMvelinqangi
Ithi, “hambani ezweni nibone ukuthi wayisungula kanjani indalo bese uMvelinqangi eveza indalo yempilo ezayo, ngempela uMvelinqangi unamandla okwenza zonke izinto

Ngakube nina niza emadodeni futhi niphazamisa emgaqweni (niphanga izihambi) futhi emhlanganweni wenu nenza izenzo ezimbi ngakho-ke yayingelutho impendulo yabantu bakhe ngaphandle kokuthi bathi “silethele isijeziso sikaMvelinqangi uma kungukuthi wena ungomunye wabaneqiniso
Wathi, “Nkosi yami ngelekelele ebantwini abayizoni”
Futhi kwathi lapho sezifika izithunywa zethu ku-Abraham nezindaba ezinhle zathi “ngempela thina sizobabhubhisa abantu baledolobha ngempela abantu balo babeyizoni”
Wathi, “ngempela kulona kunoLothi” zathi “thina sazi kangcono ukuthi ngubani okulona ngempela sizomsindisa kanye nomndeni wakhe ngaphandle konkosikazi wakhe wayengomunye wabasalela ngemumva”

NoQarun noFaro noHaman futhi ngempela uMose wafika kubona nezimpawu ezicacile kepha bazikhukhumeza emhlabeni futhi babengeke baphunyuke (esijezisweni)
Ngakho-ke ngamunye sambamba ngesono sakhe phakathi kwabo kunalabo esabathumelela ngesichotho futhi phakathi kwabo kunalabo abathathwa ngumsindo owesabekayo futhi phakathi kwabo kunalabo esabagwinyisa ngomhlabathi futhi phakathi kwabo kunalabo esabaminzisa futhi akusiyena uMvelinqangi owenza okungalungile kubona kepha imiphefumulo yabo eyenza okungalungile
Isibonelo salabo abathatha (onkulunkulu bamanga) njengabavikeli esikhundleni sikaMvelinqangi sifana nesicabucabu esakha indlu futhi ngempela ezindlini eziyizintengentenge kakhulu yindlu yesicabucabu ukube nje babazi
Ngempela uMvelinqangi wazi noma ngabe yini abayimemezayo esikhundleni sakhe futhi yena uphakekeme ngamandla unobuhlakani

Futhi ningaphikisani nabantu bencwadi ngaphandle kwaleyo (ndlela) engcono kakhulu, ngaphandle kwalabo abenza okungalungile phakathi kwabo futhi yithini, “siyakholwa kulokho okwambulwa kuthina nokwambulwa kunina futhi uNkulunkulu wethu noNkulunkulu wenu munye futhi thina siyazithoba ngaphansi kwentando yakhe
Futhi sayembula kanjalo kuwena incwadi ngakho-ke labo esabanika incwadi bayakhokhelwa kuyona futhi phakathi kwalaba kunalabo abakholelwa kuyona, abekho abawaphikayo amavesi ethu ngaphandle kwabangakholwa
Futhi awuzange uyifunde enye incwadi ngaphambilini kwayo lencwadi noma uyibhale ngesandla sakho sokudla, kepha abaqambi bamanga basekungabazeni
Qhabo! Wona angamavesi acacile ezinhliziyweni zalabo abesekwa ngolwazi, futhi abekho abawaphikayo amavesi ethu ngaphandle kwabayizoni

Akwanele yini kubona ukuthi thina sembule kuwena incwadi abafundelwa yona, ngempela kulokho kunomusa nesikhumbuzo kubantu abakholwayo
Ithi, “Wanele uMvelinqangi ukuba ngufakazi phakathi kwami nani wazi noma ngabe yini esemazulwini nasemhlabeni futhi labo abakholelwa emangeni futhi abangakholelwa kuMvelinqangi labo – ke bona bangabalahlekelweyo

Labo ababekezelayo futhi abathembela eNkosini yabo
Futhi zingaki izidalwa ezingaziphethe izabelo zazo na? NguMvelinqangi ozipha isabelo kanye nani futhi yena ungozwayo owaziyo
Futhi ukuba ubuzobabuza ukuthi ngubani owadala amazulu nomhlaba futhi wabeka ilanga nenyanga na? Bayothi ngempela “nguMvelinqangi kwenzeka kanjani ukuthi bachezuke (endleleni eqondile) na?”
UMvelinqangi welulela isipho kunoma ngabe ngubani amthandayo ezincekwini zakhe futhi ambeke esimweni sobuphofu, ngempela uMvelinqangi uyisazi sazozonke izinto
