KwabaseKorinte bokuQala 1: 22- 25

1:22Ngokuba amaJuda acela izibonakaliso, namaGreki afuna ukuhlakanipha.
1:23Kodwa sishumayela uKristu obethelwe esiphambanweni. Impela, kumaJuda, ihlazo leli, nakwabezizwe, ubuwula lobu.
1:24Kodwa kulabo ababiziweyo, amaJuda kanye namaGreki, uKristu ungamandla kaNkulunkulu nokuhlakanipha kukaNkulunkulu.
1:25Ngokuba lokho okuwubuwula kuNkulunkulu kuthiwa kuhlakaniphile kubantu, futhi lokho okubuthakathaka kuNkulunkulu kuthiwa kunamandla kubantu.

UJohane 2: 13- 25

2:13And the Passover of the Jews was near, and so Jesus ascended to Jerusalem.
2:14And he found, sitting in the temple, sellers of oxen and sheep and doves, and the moneychangers.
2:15And when he had made something like a whip out of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, including the sheep and the oxen. And he poured out the brass coins of the moneychangers, and he overturned their tables.
2:16And to those who were selling doves, uthe: “Take these things out of here, and do not make my Father’s house into a house of commerce.”
2:17Futhi ngempela, his disciples were reminded that it is written: “Zeal for your house consumes me.”
2:18Then the Jews responded and said to him, “What sign can you show to us, that you may do these things?”
2:19Jesus responded and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.”
2:20Then the Jews said, “This temple has been built up over forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?”
2:21Yet he was speaking about the Temple of his body.
2:22Ngakho-ke, when he had resurrected from the dead, his disciples were reminded that he had said this, and they believed in the Scriptures and in the word that Jesus had spoken.
2:23Now while he was at Jerusalem during the Passover, on the day of the feast, many trusted in his name, seeing his signs that he was accomplishing.
2:24But Jesus did not trust himself to them, because he himself had knowledge of all persons,
2:25and because he had no need of anyone to offer testimony about a man. For he knew what was within a man.
