Abofakazi ababona iphazimulo kaKrestu ngamehlo
16Eqinisweni besingalandeli iintolwana zobuhlakani ngesikhathi sinazisa amandla nokufika kweKosethu uJesu Krestu, kodwana besingilabo ababona ngamehlo amandla wobukhosi bakhe. 17Wamukela idumo nephazimulo kuZimu uBaba, nakafikelwa lilizwi ngobukhosi bephazimulo lisithi: “Le yiNdodanami engiyithandako, engithaba khulu ngayo.” 18Thina ngokwethu sazizwela ilizwelo livela ezulwini, lokha nabesinaye entabeni ecwengileko.

Nizabe nenza kuhle nanililalelako kube ngathi kusibani esikhanyisako ebumnyameni, bekube yitathakusa nekhwezi lokusa liphumele eenhliziyweni zenu. 20Ngaphezu kwakho koke kufanele nilemuke kuhle bona asikho isiphorofido somtlolo esingahlathululwa mumuntu ngokwazi kwakhe 21ngombana asikho isiphorofido esakhe seza ngentando yomuntu; kodwana abantu bakhuluma okungekwakaZimu, basunduzwa nguMoya oCwengileko.
