Uthi sonke samazi uNkulunkulu ngenxa yokuzibonakalisa Kwakhe ngendalo yakhe, kepha sikhetha ukungamkhazimulisi njengoNkulunkulu, noma ukubonga, futhi ngenxa yalokho izinhliziyo zethu zimnyama. Isinyathelo esilandelayo sehle esikhundleni sokukhonza uNkulunkulu ngokukhonza thina. Ekugcineni, siba onkulunkulu bethu.
Amavesi alandelayo avela kwabaseRoma aveza okwenzekayo lapho senqaba uNkulunkulu bese sizikhonza thina noma abanye onkulunkulu esibenzayo - “Ngakho-ke uNkulunkulu futhi wabanikela ekungcoleni, ezinkanukweni zezinhliziyo zabo, ukuze bahlazise imizimba yabo phakathi kwabo, abashintshanisa iqiniso ngoNkulunkulu ngamanga, bakhuleka bakhonza isidalwa kunoMdali, obusisiweyo kuze kube phakade. Amen. Ngalesi sizathu uNkulunkulu wabanikela ezinkanukweni ezimbi. Ngoba nabesifazane babo baguqula ukusetshenziswa kwemvelo kokuphikisana nemvelo. Kanjalo nabesilisa, beshiya ukusetshenziswa kwemvelo kowesifazane, bashisa izifiso zabo omunye komunye, amadoda enamadoda enza okungamanyala, ezitholela inhlawulo yecala labo ebelifanele. Futhi njengoba bengathandanga ukugcina uNkulunkulu elwazini lwabo, uNkulunkulu wabanikela emqondweni owonakele, ukuba benze lezo zinto ezingafanele; ugcwele konke ukungalungi, ubufebe, ububi, ukuhaha, ububi. ugcwele umhawu, ukubulala, umbango, inkohliso, imicabango emibi; bangabahlebi, ababambezeli, abazonda uNkulunkulu, abanobudlova, abaqhoshayo, abaqhwaga, abasunguli bezinto ezimbi, abangalaleli abazali, abanganaki, abangathembeki, abangenalo uthando, abangathetheleli, abangaxoleli; okwazi isahlulelo sikaNkulunkulu sokulunga, ukuthi labo abazenza izinto ezinjalo bafanelwe ukufa, abagcini ngokwenza lokho kuphela kepha futhi bavumela nalabo abazenza. ” (AmaRoma 1: 24-32)
Lapho sishintshanisa iqiniso likaNkulunkulu elivezwe kithi endalweni yakhe futhi sikhethe ukwamukela 'amanga,' lawo manga esiwamukelayo ukuthi singaba unkulunkulu wethu futhi sikhonze futhi sizikhonze. Lapho siba unkulunkulu wethu uqobo, sicabanga ukuthi singenza noma yini ebonakala ilungile kithi. Siba ngabenzi bomthetho. Siba abahluleli bethu. Sinquma ukuthi yikuphi okulungile nokungalungile. Noma ngabe sihlakaniphe kangakanani singacabanga ukuthi siyikho lapho senqaba uNkulunkulu, izinhliziyo zethu zenziwe mnyama, futhi izingqondo zethu ziwohloka.
Akungabazeki ukuthi ukuzikhulekela kugcwele emhlabeni wethu namuhla. Izithelo zalo ezidabukisayo zibonakala kuyo yonke indawo.

Uyakubhubhisa abakhuluma amanga; INKOSI iyenyanya indoda enegazi nenenkohliso. ” (Tihlabelelo 5: 4-6) "Uyakwahlulela umhlaba ngokulunga, ahlulele abantu ngobuqotho." (Tihlabelelo 9: 8) "Ababi bazaphenduka esihogweni, nezizwe zonke ezikhohlwa uNkulunkulu." (Tihlabelelo 9: 17) “Omubi ebusweni bakhe abaziqhenyayo akamfuni uNkulunkulu; UZimu akukho nanye imicabango yakhe. Izindlela zakhe zihlala zichuma; Izahlulelo zakho ziphezulu kakhulu, zivela phambi kwakhe; Zonke izitha zakhe uyazidelela. Ukhulumile enhliziyweni yakhe ukuthi, 'Angiyikunyakaziswa; Ngeke ngibe ebunzimeni. ' Umlomo wakhe ugcwele isiqalekiso nenkohliso nengcindezelo; ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe kukhona inkathazo nobubi. ” (Tihlabelelo 10: 4-7) “Isiwula sithe enhliziyweni yaso, 'Akekho uNkulunkulu.' Bakhohlakele, benze imisebenzi enengekayo, akekho owenza okuhle. ” (Tihlabelelo 14: 1)

Usuku nosuku ukhuluma izinkulumo, nobusuku buyelembula ulwazi. Akukho nkulumo noma ulimi lapho izwi labo lingezwakali. Intambo yabo iphumele kuwo wonke umhlaba, namazwi abo kuze kube sekupheleni komhlaba. Kuzo ubeke itabernakele ilanga, elinjengomyeni ophuma egumbini lakhe, uthokoze njengendoda enamandla ukujaha umjaho walo. Ukukhuphuka kwalo kusuka komunye umkhawulo wezulu, nokujikeleza kwalo kuya komunye umkhawulo; futhi akukho lutho olufihliwe ekushiseni kwalo. Umthetho weNkosi uphelele, uguqula umphefumulo; ubufakazi beNkosi buqinisekile, benza ukuhlakanipha kube lula; izimiso zeNkosi zilungile, zithokozisa inhliziyo; umyalo weNkosi umsulwa, ukhanyisela amehlo; Ukwesaba uJehova kuhlanzekile, kumi kuze kube phakade; izahlulelo zeNkosi zilungile futhi zilungile. ” (Tihlabelelo 19: 1-9)
