ULuka 8: 16- 18

8:16	Ngoku akukho mntu, ukukhanyisa ikhandlela, uyigqume ngesitya, okanye uyibeke phantsi kwebhedi. Kunoko, usibeka phezu kwesiphatho sezibane, ukuze abo bangenayo bakubone ukukhanya.
8:17	Kuba akukho nto ifihlakeleyo, ezingayi kucaciswa, kananjalo akukho nto ifihlakeleyo, engayi kwaziwa ize ibekwe ekuhleni.
8:18	Ngoko ke, yilumkele indlela ophulaphula ngayo. Kuba nabani na onayo, uya kunikwa yena; nabani na ongenako, kwanoko acinga ukuba unako, uya kuhluthwa.
