8:3 Kwaye ndiyangqina kubo, ukuba babekulungele ukwamkela oko kuvisisana namandla abo, kwanoko bekungaphaya kwamandla abo.

8:4 Kuba babesicenga, ngomthandazo omkhulu, ngenxa yobabalo nodlelano lolungiselelo oluphakathi kwabangcwele.

8:8 Ndiyathetha, engayaleli. Kodwa ngokucela abanye, Ndiyavumelana nesimilo esihle sothando lwakho.

8:9 kuba niyalwazi ubabalo lweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, ukuba nakuba esisityebi, waba lihlwempu ngenxa yenu, ukuze ngobuhlwempu bakhe, usenokuba sisityebi.

The Holy Gospel According Matthew 5: 43-48

5:43	You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and you shall have hatred for your enemy.’
5:44	Ke mna ndithi kuni: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. And pray for those who persecute and slander you.
5:45	Ngele ndlela, you shall be sons of your Father, who is in heaven. He causes his sun to rise upon the good and the bad, and he causes it to rain upon the just and the unjust.
5:46	For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Do not even tax collectors behave this way?
5:47	And if you greet only your brothers, what more have you done? Do not even the pagans behave this way?
5:48	Ngoko ke, ube ngogqibeleleyo, even as your heavenly Father is perfect.”
