23Lathengwa ngentengo; lingabi yizigqili zabantu.Select 1 Corinthians 7:23

24Ngulowo lalowo abizelwe kukho, bazalwane, kahlale kukho loNkulunkulu.Select 1 Corinthians 7:24

25Kodwa mayelana lentombi kangilawo umlayo weNkosi; kodwa ngiyeluleka njengowemukele isihawu eNkosini ukuba athembeke.Select 1 Corinthians 7:25

31labasebenzisa lumhlaba, njengabangawusebenzisisiyo; ngoba isimo salumhlaba siyedlula.Select 1 Corinthians 7:31

32Kodwa ngithanda ukuthi lingabi lakukhathazeka. Ongathathanga ukhathalela izinto zeNkosi, ukuthi uzayithokozisa njani iNkosi;Select 1 Corinthians 7:32

33kodwa othetheyo ukhathalela izinto zomhlaba, ukuthi uzamthokozisa njani umfazi.Select 1 Corinthians 7:33
