Second Letter to the Corinthians 12: 1- 10

12:1 Ukuba kuyimfuneko (nangona ngokuqinisekileyo ayilunganga) eluzukweni, ndiya kwandula ke ndithethe ngemibono nezityhilelo ezivela kuYehova.

12:2 Ndiyazi indoda ekuKristu, I-WHO, ngaphezu kweminyaka elishumi elinesine eyadlulayo (nokuba kusemzimbeni, Andazi, okanye ngaphandle komzimba, Andazi: UThixo uyazi), waxwilwa wasiwa kwelesithathu izulu.

12:3 Kwaye ndiyazi indoda ethile (nokuba kusemzimbeni, okanye ngaphandle komzimba, Andazi: UThixo uyazi),

12:4 owaxwilelwa eParadesi. Yaye weva amazwi afihlakeleyo, ekungavumelekanga ukuba umntu athethe.

12:5 Egameni lomntu onje, ndiya kuqhayisa. Kodwa egameni lam, andiyi kuqhayisa nganto, ngaphandle kobuthathaka bam.

12:6 Kuba nangona ndithanda ukuqhayisa, Andiyi kuba sisidenge. Ke mna ndiya kuthetha inyaniso. kodwa ndiya kwenjenjalo kancinci, hleze ubani andibalele ukuba ndiyinto engaphezu kwaleyo ayibonayo kum, okanye nantoni na engaphezu kwaleyo ayivayo kum.

12:7 Kwaye hleze ubukhulu bezityhilelo bundiphakamise, ndanikwa ke enyameni yam: ingelosi kaSathana, endibetha ngokuphindaphindiweyo.

12:8 Ngenxa yale nto, Ndayibongoza izihlandlo ezithathu iNkosi, ukuba lisuswe kum.

12:9 Wathi ke kum: “Ubabalo lwam lukwanele;. Kuba isidima sizaliseka ekuswelekeni kwamandla. Kwaye, ngokuzithandela ndiya kuqhayisa ngobuthathaka bam, ukuze amandla kaKristu ahlale ngaphakathi kwam.

12:10 Ngenxa yale nto, ndikholisiweyo kubuthathaka bam: kwiingcikivo, ebunzimeni, kwiintshutshiso, ekubandezelekeni, ngenxa kaKristu. Kuba xa ndibuthathaka, ngoko ke ndinamandla.

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 6: 24-34

6:24	No one is able to serve two masters. For either he will have hatred for the one, and love the other, or he will persevere with the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
6:25	And so I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, as to what you will eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
6:26	Consider the birds of the air, how they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of much greater value than they are?
6:27	And which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?
6:28	And as for clothing, why are you anxious? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither work nor weave.
6:29	Ke mna ndithi kuni, that not even Solomon, in all his glory, was arrayed like one of these.
6:30	So if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and cast into the oven tomorrow, how much more will he care for you, O little in faith?
6:31	Ngoko ke, do not choose to be anxious, esithi: ‘What shall we eat, and what shall we drink, and with what shall we be clothed?'
6:32	For the Gentiles seek all these things. Yet your Father knows that you need all these things.
6:33	Ngoko ke, seek first the kingdom of God and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you as well.
6:34	Ngoko ke, do not be anxious about tomorrow; for the future day will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its evil.”
