Ngokuba enhliziyweni kuvela izizindlo ezimbi , ukubulala, ukuphinga, ubufebe, ukweba, ukufakaza amanga, ukuhlambalaza.

Kepha uJehova wabona ukuthi ububi bomuntu bukhulu emhlabe ni nokuthi zonke izizindlo zemicabango yenhliziyo yakhe zimbi njalo.

yebo, inkemba iyakudabula nowakho umphefumulo -- ukuba kwambulwe izizindlo zezinhliziyo eziningi.

nokuthi: INkosi iyazazi izizindlo zabahlakaniphileyo ukuthi ziyize.

Wena Solomoni , ndodana yami , yazi uNkulunkulu kayihlo , umkhonze ngenhliziyo epheleleyo nangenhliziyo ethokozayo , ngokuba uJehova uhlola izinhliziyo zonke , uqonda zonke izizindlo zemicabango ; uma umfuna , uyakufunyanwa nguye ; kepha uma umshiya , uyakukulahla kuze kube phakade.

UJesu ezazi izizindlo zabo wathi: Nizindlelani okubi ezinhliziyweni zenu na?

Kepha uJesu ezazi izizindlo zabo wathi kubo : Yilowo nalowo mbuso owahlukene wodwa uyachitheka , nalowo muzi nokuba indlu eyahlukene yodwa ingeme.

Kepha uJesu ezazi izizindlo zabo waphendula , wathi kubo : Nizindlani ezinhliziyweni zenu na?

Kepha waz azi izizindlo zabo wathi kuyo indoda esandla sishwabene : Sukuma, ume phakathi. Wasukuma-ke, wema.

Ngakho-ke ningahluleli lutho singakafiki isikhathi , ingakafiki iNkosi eyakukuveza ekukhanyeni okufihlakeleyo kobumnyama, iveze obala izizindlo zezinhliziyo; lapho-ke yilowo nalowo uyakuthola ukubongwa kuNkulunkulu. Ukukhukhumala kwabaseKorinte nokuhlupheka kwabaphostoli
