Ngokufanayo, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.
5:6
Manje, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.
5:7
Cast all your cares upon him, for he takes care of you.
5:8
Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour.
5:9
Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.
5:10
But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, will himself perfect, confirm, and establish us, after a brief time of suffering.
I have written briefly, through Sylvanus, whom I consider to be a faithful brother to you, begging and testifying that this is the true grace of God, in which you have been established.
5:13
The Church which is in Babylon, elect together with you, uyabingelela, as does my son, Maka.
5:14
Bingelelanani ngokwanga okungcwele. Grace be to all of you who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Maka 16: 15 – 20
16:15 Wathi kubo: “Go forth to the whole world and preach the Gospel to every creature.
16:16 Whoever will have believed and been baptized will be saved. Nokho ngempela, whoever will not have believed will be condemned.
16:17 Now these signs will accompany those who believe. In my name, they shall cast out demons. They will speak in new languages.
16:18 They will take up serpents, futhi, if they drink anything deadly, it will not harm them. They shall lay their hands upon the sick, and they will be well.”
16:19 Futhi ngempela, iNkosi uJesu, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and he sits at the right hand of God.
16:20 Bese bethi, ephuma, preached everywhere, with the Lord cooperating and confirming the word by the accompanying signs.
But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
12:45
And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
12:46
I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
12:47
And if anyone has heard my words and not kept them, I do not judge him. For I did not come so that I may judge the world, but so that I may save the world.
12:48
Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the last day.
12:49
For I am not speaking from myself, but from the Father who sent me. He gave a commandment to me as to what I should say and how I should speak.
12:50
And I know that his commandment is eternal life. Ngakho-ke, the things that I speak, just as the Father has said to me, so also do I speak.”
