Xa ugqirha efika emandlalweni wogulayo ngendlela engenamdla, engakhathaliyo, amkhangele lo ungcungcuthekayo ebonisa inkathalo encinane, ngelizwi okanye ngesenzo esinika imbonakalo yokuba imeko ayifuni ngqwalaselo ingako, aze amshiye ogulayo ezicingela engqondweni [ngale meko yalo gqirha], umonakalisile kakhulu lo mguli. Intandabuzo nokuphelelwa lithemba okwenziwe kukungakhathali kwakhe kuye kulwe negalelo elilungileyo lamayeza anokuwakhupha.UL 189.1

Xa uthando novelwano olwabonakalaliswa nguKristu kwabagulayo luhlangene nolwazi lukagqirha, ubukho nje bakhe bungaba yintsikelelo.UL 189.2
Ukubonakala koncumo ebusweni xa kuphathwe ogulayo kumnika ukuqina, kube luncedo ekuphileni. Kukho oogqirha abakuthabatha ukuba kulumkile ukumfihlela ogulayo imeko nembangi yesifo agula siso. Abaninzi, ngokoyikela ukumkhathaza okanye ukumphelelisa ngethemba ogulayo ngokuxela inyaniso, banika amathemba okuphila angenanyaniso, bade bamyeke ogulayo ayokungena engcwabeni bengakhange bamlumkise ngengozi akuyo. Konke oku akulumkile. Kusenokungabi kuhle kona okanye kube kokona kulungileyo ukuchaza kogulayo yonke imininingwane yengozi akuyo. Oku kungamothusa kudodobalise okanye kude kume ngaphambi kokuphila. Kanti ke, nenyaniso ayisoloko ithethwa yonke kwabo bazigulo zabo kakhulukazi zizezokuzicingela. Abaninzi kwaba bantu abakwazi kucinga, kwaye abaziqhelisanga ukusebenzisa ukuzilawula. Banezinto ezizodwa abazithandayo, bekwacinga izinto ezingekhoyo ngeziqu zabo kwakunye nabanye abantu. Kubo, ezi zinto ziyinyaniso, ngoko ke, abo babajongileyo kufuneka bobonise rhoqo ububele nomonde ongakruqukiyo kunye nobuchule. Ukuba ezi zigulana bezingaxelelwa inyaniso ngeziqu zazo, ezinye bezingakhubeka, ezinye ziphelelwe lithemba. UKristu wathi ubafundi baKhe, “Ndinezinto ezininzi zokuthetha kuni, kodwa aninako ukuzithwala ngoku.” Yohane 16:12. Nangona phofu inyaniso ingenako ukuthethwa yonke kuzo zonke iimeko, akuze kudingeke okanye kufaneleke ukukhohlisa. Ugqirha okanye umongikazi makangaze ahlele kumgangatho wokukhohlisa. Okwenzayo oku uzibeka apho uThixo angeke asebenzisane naye, kuze kuthi ngokuncama ukuthenjwa zizigulana zakhe abe ulahle olunye kwawona mancedo anempumelelo ekuphilisweni kwabantu.UL 189.3
Amandla engqondo awaxatyiswa njengoko bekufanelekile. Ingqondo mayigcinwe iphaphamile ikhokelwa ngengela eyiyo. Yona iya kunika amandla umzimba wonke ibe luncedo olumangalisayo ekugcinweni kwempilo. Xa isetyenziswa ngendlela eyiyo, inokuyilawula ingcinga ibe yindlela enamandla okumelana nokoyisa isifo sengqondo nesomzimba. Ngokusebenzisa amandla engqondo ekuzibekeni kulwalamano olulungileyo ebomini, abagulayo bangenza okukhulu ekusebenzisaneni namalinge kagqirha ekuphileni kwabo. Ngamawaka abantu abangabuyelwa yimpilo ukuba nje bebengasebenzisa ukucinga [okanye ukuthanda]. INkosi ayifuni ukuba bagule. Ilangazelela ukuba baphile bonwabe, kodwa kufuneka benze isigqibo sokuba baphile. Kuyenzeka ukuba imilwelwe ibe nako ukumelana nesifo ngokwala nje ukuziyekela ekuguleni nokuhlala nje phantsi ingenzi nto. Ngokunyuka ngaphaya kweentlungu neengqaqambo, mayixakeke kukwenza umsebenzi olulutho ofanelene namandla enawo.
