The Book of the Prophet Ezekiel 18: 21-28

18:21	Ukuba ke ongendawo uthe waguquka ezonweni zakhe zonke azenzileyo;, nokuba uthe wayigcina yonke imimiselo yam, kwaye uphumeza okusesikweni nobulungisa, uya kuphila ke, kwaye akayi kufa.
18:22	andiyi kubukhumbula bonke ubugwenxa bakhe, athe wasebenza; ngobulungisa bakhe, athe wasebenza, uya kuphila.
18:23	Angathini na ke ukuthanda ukufa komntu okhohlakeleyo?, itsho iNkosi uYehova, ingekuko nokuba abuye ezindleleni zakhe, aphile?
18:24	Ke ukuba ilungisa liyaguquka ekugwebeni kwalo, wenza ubugqwetha, ngokwamasikizi onke abewenza ngokufuthi ongendawo, yini na ukuba aphile? Zonke izigwebo zakhe, athe wayifeza, ayisayi kukhunjulwa. Ngokunxaxha, athe wakreqa kuyo, nangesono sakhe, apho wonayo, ngenxa yezo zinto uya kufa.
18:25	Kwaye uthe, ‘Indlela yeNkosi ayilungelelene.’ Ngoko ke, mamela, Owu ndlu kaSirayeli. Kwenzeka njani ukuba indlela yam ayilunganga? Asizondlela zenu na ezigwenxa?
18:26	Kuba xa ilungisa liguquka ebulungiseni balo, wenza ubugwenxa, uya kufa ngenxa yoko; ngokungekho sikweni akusebenzileyo, uya kufa.
18:27	Naxa umntu okhohlakeleyo ebuya ebugwenxeni bakhe, into ayenzileyo, kwaye uphumeza okusesikweni nobulungisa, wowuphilisa umphefumlo wakhe.
18:28	Ngokuba eqondele, abuye ebugwenxeni bakhe bonke, athe wasebenza, inene, wophila, kwaye akayi kufa.

The Holy Gospel According to Matthew 5: 20-26

5:20 For I say to you, that unless your justice has surpassed that of the scribes and the Pharisees you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

5:21 You have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not murder; whoever will have murdered shall be liable to judgment.’

5:22 Ke mna ndithi kuni, that anyone who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment. But whoever will have called his brother, ‘Idiot,’ shall be liable to the council. Emva koko, whoever will have called him, ‘Worthless,’ shall be liable to the fires of Hell.

5:23 Ngoko ke, if you offer your gift at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you,

5:24 leave your gift there, phambi kwesibingelelo, and go first to be reconciled to your brother, and then you may approach and offer your gift.

5:25 Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are still on the way with him, lest perhaps the adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you will be thrown in prison.

5:26 Amen ndithi kuni, that you shall not go forth from there, until you have repaid the last quarter.
