Ootata abaninzi, xa bevunyelwa ukuba bahlukane neentsapho abazithandayo, bafa beqamele kwisithembiso sikaThixo sokuzigcina [kukaThixo] iintsapho zabo. INkosi ibenzele umsindleko--umhlolokazi nongenayise, kungengammangaliso wokuthumela imana ivela ezulwini, kungengakuthumela amahlungulu ukuba abaphathele ukutya; kodwa ngommangaliso ezintliziyweni zabantu, egxotha ukuba bajonge kwiziqu zabo, nokuvula imithombo yothando olufana nolukaKristu. Abangcungcuthekayo nabafelweyo ubanikele kubalandeli baKhe ukuba babe ngamagugu abawagcinisiweyo.UL 152.3

Emakhayeni anikwe ukonwaba kobomi, kwiindawo ekuhlala kuzo ukutya noovimba abagcwele yintabalala yesivuno, kwizindlu zokugcina iimpahla zokusonta, namagumbi anqabileyo ekugcinwe kuwo igolide nesilivere, uThixo unike indyebo yokuxhaswa kwaba banentswelo. Uyasibiza ukuba sibe ngamajelo obutyebi baKhe.UL 152.4

Uyayidinga inkuthazo, uvelwano, noncedo oluphathekayo.UL 152.5

UThixo ubiza thina ukuba sibancede, kangangoko sinako, aba bantwana, kwintswelo yenkathalelo katata. Endaweni yokuma qelele, kukhalazelwa iimpazamo zabo, nenkathazo abanokuyenza, mabancedwe ngayo yonke indlela enokubakho. Makuzanywe kuncedwe umama ophelileyo lixhala. Mayenziwe lula imithwalo yakhe.UL 153.1

Ikwakho nenye inkitha yabantwana abavinjwa kwaphela inkokelo yabazali kunye nempembelelo eyoyisayo yekhaya lobuKristu. AmaKristu mawavule iintliziyo zayo namakhaya kwaba bangenako ukuzinceda.

Ukuba abantwana abanazo izizalwana ezikwaziyo ukubakhathalela, inkonzo mayibanike amakhaya. Lowo wasenzayo wasithambisa ukuze sikwazi ukuhlangana sibe ziintsapho, ize indalo yomntwana iphuhle kakuhle kakhulu kumoya onothando wekhaya lobuKristu.UL 153.2

Endaweni yokunakekela izilo-maqabane, bethsafaza uthando kwizilwanyana ezingathethiyo, mabanike ingqalelo yabo kubantwana abancinane, abazimilo zabo banokuzakha ngokwemfano yesimilo sikaThixo. Nina lubekeni uthando lwenu kumalungu osapho loluntu lawo angenawo amakhaya. Bonani ukuba bangaphi kwaba bantwana eninokubakhulisa nibaqeqeshela iNkosi. Baninzi abanokuthi ngokwenza oko bazizuzele okuhle kakhulu.UL 153.3
