| 36:15 | Khona-ke iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wawoyise, ithunyelwe kubo, ngesandla sezithunywa zakhe, evuka ebusuku ebayala imihla ngemihla. Ngokuba wayenomusa kubantu bakhe nendawo yakhe yokuhlala. |
| 36:16 | Kodwa bazihleka usulu izithunywa zikaNkulunkulu, amazwi akhe bawathatha kancane, futhi babaklolodela abaprofethi, ulaka lukaJehova lwaze lwenyuka phezu kwabantu bakhe, lalingekho ikhambi. |
| 36:19 | Izitha zashisa indlu kaNkulunkulu, babhidliza umduli weJerusalema. Bayishisa yonke imibhoshongo. Futhi noma yini eyayiyigugu, babhidlize. |
| 36:20 | Uma kukhona owayephunyukile enkembeni, waholelwa eBhabhiloni. Futhi wakhonza inkosi namadodana ayo, kuze kube inkosi yasePheresiya iyala, |
| 36:21 | futhi izwi leNkosi ngomlomo kaJeremiya laliyogcwaliseka, izwe lagcina amasabatha alo. Ngoba phakathi nazo zonke izinsuku zencithakalo, waligcina isabatha, yaze yaphela iminyaka engamashumi ayisikhombisa. |

| 36:23 | “Usho kanje uKoresi, inkosi yamaPheresiya: INkosi, uNkulunkulu wezulu, unginikile yonke imibuso yomhlaba. Futhi ungiyalile ukuthi kufanele ngimakhele indlu eJerusalema, eseJudiya. Ubani phakathi kwenu ovela kubo bonke abantu bakhe? Kwangathi uJehova uNkulunkulu wakhe makabe naye, futhi makakhuphuke. |
Incwadi kaPawuli oNgcwele eya kwabase-Efesu 2: 4-10
| 2:4 | Nokho namanje, UNkulunkulu, who is rich in mercy, for the sake of his exceedingly great charity with which he loved us, |
| 2:5 | even when we were dead in our sins, has enlivened us together in Christ, by whose grace you have been saved. |
| 2:6 | And he has raised us up together, and he has caused us to sit down together in the heavens, kuKristu Jesu, |
| 2:7 | so that he may display, in the ages soon to arrive, the abundant wealth of his grace, by his goodness toward us in Christ Jesus. |
| 2:8 | For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God. |
| 2:9 | And this is not of works, so that no one may glory. |
| 2:10 | For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works which God has prepared and in which we should walk. |
UJohane 3: 14- 21
| 3:14 | Futhi njengoba nje uMose waphakamisa inyoka ehlane, kanjalo neNdodana yomuntu imelwe ukuphakanyiswa, |
| 3:15 | ukuze kuthi loba ngubani okholwa kuye angabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. |
| 3:16 | Ngoba uNkulunkulu walithanda izwe kangangokuba waze wanikela ngeNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa, ukuze bonke abakholwa kuye bangabhubhi, kodwa abe nokuphila okuphakade. |
| 3:17 | Ngoba uNkulunkulu kayithumelanga iNdodana yakhe emhlabeni, ukuze ahlulele umhlaba, kodwa ukuze umhlaba usindiswe ngaye. |
| 3:18 | Okholwa nguye akahlulelwa. Kodwa ongakholwayo usegwetshiwe, ngoba akakholwa egameni leNdodana kaNkulunkulu ezelwe yodwa. |
| 3:19 | Futhi lokhu kungukwahlulela: ukuthi ukukhanya kufikile emhlabeni, futhi abantu bathanda ubumnyama kunokukhanya. Ngoba imisebenzi yabo yayimibi. |
| 3:20 | Ngokuba yilowo nalowo owenza okubi uzonda ukukhanya, futhi akayi ekukhanyeni, ukuze imisebenzi yakhe ingalungiswa. |
| 3:21 | Kodwa owenza iqiniso uya ekukhanyeni, ukuze kubonakaliswe imisebenzi yakhe, ngoba kufeziwe kuNkulunkulu.” |
