Uvumo Lokholo lweWestminster

dMal. 1:11 Ngoba kusukela ekuphumeni kwelanga kuze kube sekutshoneni kwalo, ibizo lami lizakuba likhulu phakathi kwezizwe; lendaweni zonke ibizo lami lizatshiselwa impepha, lomnikelo ohlambulukileyo; ngoba ibizo lami lizakhulu phakathi kwezizwe, kutsho iNKOSI yamabutho. 1 Tim. 2:8 Ngakho ngifisa ukuthi amadoda akhuleke kuyo yonke indawo, ephakamisa izandla ezingcwele, engelalaka lokuxabana.

eJoha. 4:23 Kodwa ihola liyeza njalo seliyilo, lapho abakhonzi abaqotho bazakhonza uBaba ngomoya langeqiniso; ngoba-ke uBaba udinga abanjalo abamkhonzayo. 24 UNkulunkulu unguMoya; lalabo abamkhonzayo, bafanele ukumkhonza ngomoya langeqiniso.

fJer. 10:25 Thululela ulaka lwakho phezu kwezizwe ezingakwaziyo, laphezu kwensendo ezingabizi ebizweni lakho; ngoba bamdlile uJakobe, bamdlile bamqeda, bayichitha indawo yakhe yokuhlala. Dute. 6:6 Lamazwi la engikulaya ngawo lamuhla azakuba senhliziyweni yakho; 7 njalo uzawafundisa abantwana bakho ngokukhuthala, uzakhuluma ngawo lapho uhlezi endlini yakho, lalapho uhamba endleleni, lalapho ulala, lalapho uvuka. Jobe 1:5 Kwakusithi lapho esephelile amazopha ensuku zedili, uJobe athume, abahlambulule, avuke ekuseni kakhulu, anikele iminikelo yokutshiswa ngokwenani labo bonke, ngoba uJobe wathi: Mhlawumbe amadodana ami onile, amthuka uNkulunkulu enhliziyweni yawo. Wenza njalo uJobe insuku ngensuku. 2 Sam. 6:18 Kwathi uDavida eseqedile ukunikela iminikelo yokutshiswa leminikelo yokuthula, wabusisa abantu ebizweni leNKOSI yamabutho. 20 UDavida wasebuyela ukubusisa indlu yakhe. UMikhali indodakazi kaSawuli wasephuma ukuhlangabeza uDavida, wathi: Idunyiswe kangakanani inkosi yakoIsrayeli lamuhla, ezembule lamuhla phambi kwamehlo encekukazi zenceku zayo njengomunye wabayize ezembula lokuzembula! 1 Pet. 3:7 Ngokunjalo madoda, hlalisanani ngokolwazi, limhloniphe owesifazana njengesitsha esibuthakathaka, njengoba labo beyizindlalifa zomusa wempilo kanye lani, ukuze imikhuleko yenu ingavinjelwa. Seb. 10:2 Eyindoda eqotho lemesabayo uNkulunkulu kanye lendlu yayo yonke, eyenza imisebenzi yomusa eminengi ebantwini, njalo ekhuleka njalonjalo kuNkulunkulu, yokuhlala.

gMat. 6:11 Siphe lamuhla ukudla kwethu kwensuku zonke.

hMat. 6:6 Kodwa wena nxa ukhuleka, ngena endlini yakho yensitha, ubusuvala umnyango wakho, ukhuleke kuYihlo osensitha; uYihlo-ke obona ekusithekeni uzakuvuza obala. Efe. 6:18 Ngawo wonke umkhuleko langonxuso likhuleka isikhathi sonke kuMoya, lakulokhu lilinde ngesineke sonke langonxuso ngabangcwele bonke.

iIsa. 56:6 Labantwana bowemzini abazihlanganisa leNKOSI ukuyikhonza lokuthanda ibizo leNKOSI, ukuba zinceku zayo, wonke ogcina isabatha engalingcolisi, bebambelela esivumelwaneni sami. 7 Labo ngizabaletha entabeni yami engcwele, ngibathokozise endlini yami yomkhuleko; iminikelo yabo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo yabo izakwemukeleka elathini lami, ngoba indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yomkhuleko yezizwe zonke. Heb. 10:25 Singayekeli ukuhlangana kwethu, njengomkhuba wabanye, kodwa kasikhuthale, futhi ikakhulu, njengoba libona usuku lusondela. Zaga 1:20 Ukuhlakanipha kuyamemeza ngaphandle, kuyezwakalisa ilizwi lakho emidangeni, 21 kuyamemeza endaweni enzinkulu zokuxokozela, ekungeneni kwamasango, emzini kutsho amazwi akho. 24 Ngoba ngibizile, kodwa lala; ngelulile isandla sami, kodwa kakho owananzayo. Zaga 8:34 Ubusisiwe umuntu ongizwayo, alinde insuku ngensuku emasangweni ami, alinde emigubazini yeminyango yami. Seb. 13:42 Kwathi ekuphumeni kwamaJuda esinagogeni, abezizwe bacela ukuthi lamazwi akhulunywe kubo ngesabatha elilandelayo. Luka 4:16 Wasefika eNazaretha, lapho ondliwa khona; njengokwejwayela kwakhe wasengena esinagogeni ngosuku lwesabatha, wasukuma ukuze afunde. Seb. 2:42 Basebephikelela ekufundiseni kwabaphostoli lekuhlanganeni, lekuhlephuleni isinkwa lemikhulekweni.

k Eks. 20:8 Khumbula usuku lwesabatha, ukulungcwelisa. 10 Kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa lulisabatha leNKOSI uNkulunkulu wakho; ungenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngalo, wena lendodana yakho lendodakazi yakho, inceku yakho lencekukazi yakho lezifuyo zakho lowemzini wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho. 11 Ngoba ngensuku eziyisithupha iNKOSI yenza amazulu lomhlaba lolwandle lakho konke okukukho, yasiphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa; ngalokhu iNKOSI yalubusisa usuku lwesabatha, yalungcwelisa. Isa. 56:2 Ubusisiwe umuntu owenza lokhu, lendodana yomuntu ebambelela kukho, ogcina isabatha angalingcolisi, logcina isandla sakhe ukuthi singenzi loba yikuphi okubi. 4 Ngoba itsho njalo iNKOSI kubathenwa abagcina amasabatha ami, abakhetha engikuthandayo, ababambelela esivumelwaneni sami. 6 Labantwana bowemzini abazihlanganisa leNKOSI ukuyikhonza lokuthanda ibizo leNKOSI, ukuba zinceku zayo, wonke ogcina isabatha engalingcolisi, bebambelela esivumelwaneni sami. 7 Labo ngizabaletha entabeni yami engcwele, ngibathokozise endlini yami yomkhuleko; iminikelo yabo yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo yabo izakwemukeleka elathini lami, ngoba indlu yami izabizwa ngokuthi yindlu yomkhuleko yezizwe zonke.

lGen. 2:2 UNkulunkulu wasewuqeda ngosuku lwesikhombisa umsebenzi wakhe abewenza. Waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa emsebenzini wakhe wonke abewenza. 3 UNkulunkulu wasebusisa usuku lwesikhombisa, walungcwelisa; ngoba ngalo waphumula emsebenzini wakhe wonke, uNkulunkulu awudalayo wawenza. 1 Kor. 16:1 Mayelana-ke lokuqoqelwa okwabangcwele, njengoba ngalaya amabandla eGalathiya, yenzani ngokunjalo lani, 2 ngalo lonke usuku lokuqala lweviki kakube yilowo lalowo wenu azibekele aqogelele loba yini aphumelela ngayo, ukuze kungabi khona kuzaqoqwa nxa ngifikayo. Seb. 20:7 Kwathi ngosuku lokuqala lweviki, abafundi bebuthene ukuhlephula isinkwa, uPawuli watshumayela kubo, elungele ukusuka kusisa, waseselula ilizwi kwaze kwaba phakathi kobusuku.

mIsam. 1:10 NgangikuMoya ngosuku lweNkosi; futhi ngezwa ngemva kwami ilizwi elikhulu kungathi ngelophondo.

nEks. 20:8 Khumbula usuku lwesabatha, ukulungcwelisa. 10 Kodwa usuku lwesikhombisa lulisabatha leNKOSI uNkulunkulu wakho; ungenzi loba yiwuphi umsebenzi ngalo, wena lendodana yakho lendodakazi yakho, inceku yakho lencekukazi yakho lezifuyo zakho lowemzini wakho ophakathi kwamasango akho. Mat. 5:17 Lingacabangi ukuthi ngize ukuchitha umlayo kumbe abaprofethi; angizanga ukuchitha kodwa ukugcwalisa. 18 Ngoba ngiqinisile ngithi kini: Kuze kudlule izulu lomhlaba, kakusoze kudlule ibadlana libe linye kumbe lechatshana libe linye lomlayo kuze kwenzakale konke.

o Eks. 20:8 Khumbula usuku lwesabatha, ukulungcwelisa. Eks. 16:23 Wasesithi kuzo: Lokhu yikho iNKOSI ekutshiloyo: Kusasa yikuphumula, isabatha elingcwele leNKOSI. Bhakani elizakubhaka, lipheke elizakupheka, konke lokho okuseleyo lizibekele kugcinwe kuze kube sekuseni. 25 UMozisi wasesithi: Dlanini lokhu lamuhla, ngoba lamuhla kulisabatha leNKOSI; lamuhla kaliyikukuthola egangeni. 26 Lizakubutha insuku eziyisithupha; kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa, isabatha, kakuyikuba khona kulo. 29 Bonani, ngoba iNKOSI ilinikile isabatha, ngakho ilinika ngosuku lwesithupha isinkwa sensuku ezimbili; hlalani kube yilowo lalowo endaweni yakhe, kakungaphumi muntu endaweni yakhe ngosuku lwesikhombisa. 30 Ngakho abantu baphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa. Eks. 31:15 Insuku eziyisithupha kwenziwe umsebenzi, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa kulisabatha lokuphumula, lingcwele eNKOSIni; wonke owenza umsebenzi ngesabatha uzabulawa lokubulawa. 16 Ngakho abantwana bakoIsrayeli bazagcina isabatha, balilondoloze isabatha ezizukulwaneni zabo, libe yisivumelwano esilaphakade. 17 Liyisibonakaliso phakathi kwami labantwana bakoIsrayeli kuze kube nini lanini; ngoba ngensuku eziyisithupha iNKOSI yenza amazulu lomhlaba, kodwa ngosuku lwesikhombisa yaphumula, yathola amandla amatsha. Isa. 58:13 Uba uphendula unyawo lwakho lusuka kusabatha, usenza intokozo yakho ngosuku lwami olungcwele; ulibize isabatha ngokuthi yintokozo, ubungcwele beNKOSI, obuhloniphekayo; uba ulihlonipha, ungenzi indlela zakho, ungatholi intokozo yakho, loba ukhuluma ilizwi ngakho. Neh. 13:15 Ngalezonsuku ngabona koJuda abanyathela izikhamelo zewayini ngesabatha, labangenisa izithungo, abathwalisa obabhemi, lewayini futhi, izithelo zesivini, lemikhiwa, lawo wonke umthwalo, abakungenisa eJerusalema ngosuku lwesabatha. Ngabaxwayisa mhla bethengisa ukudla. 16 Lezakhi zeTire zahlala kuyo, ezaziletha inhlanzi lenhlobo zonke zempahla, zazithengisa ngesabatha kubantwana bakoJuda laseJerusalema. 17 Khona ngaphikisana lezikhulu zakoJuda, ngathi kuzo: Iyini le into embi eliyenzayo lingcolisa usuku lwesabatha? 18 Kabenzanga njalo yini oyihlo, loNkulunkulu wethu wehlisela phezu kwethu bonke lobububi laphezu kwalumuzi? Kanti lina khona lisandisa ulaka phezu kukaIsrayeli ngokungcolisa isabatha. 19 Kwasekusithi lapho amasango eJerusalema eseqala ukuba mnyama lingakafiki isabatha, ngalaya ukuthi iminyango kayivalwe, njalo ngalaya ukuthi ingavulwa kuze kwedlule isabatha. Ngabeka ezinye inceku zami emasangweni ukuze kungangeni mthwalo ngosuku lwesabatha. 21 Khona ngabaxwayisa ngathi kibo: Lilalelani maqondana lomduli? Uba likwenza futhi, ngizalidumela ngesandla. Kusukela kulesosikhathi kabangenanga ngesabatha. 22 Ngasengitshela amaLevi ukuthi bazihlambulule, beze balinde amasango ukungcwelisa usuku lwesabatha. Langalokho ungikhumbule, Nkulunkulu wami, ungihawukele ngokobunengi bomusa wakho.

pIsa. 58:13 Uba uphendula unyawo lwakho lusuka kusabatha, usenza intokozo yakho ngosuku lwami olungcwele; ulibize isabatha ngokuthi yintokozo, ubungcwele beNKOSI, obuhloniphekayo; uba ulihlonipha, ungenzi indlela zakho, ungatholi intokozo yakho, loba ukhuluma ilizwi ngakho. Mat. 12:1 Ngalesosikhathi uJesu wadabula emasimini amabele ngesabatha; futhi abafundi bakhe babelambile, baqala ukukha izikhwebu lokudla. 2 Kodwa abaFarisi bekubona bathi kuye: Khangela, abafundi bakho benza okungavunyelwanga ukukwenza ngesabatha. 3 Kodwa wathi kubo: Kalifundanga yini uDavida akwenzayo, mhla elambile yena lababelaye; 4 ukuthi wayangena njani endlini kaNkulunkulu, wadla izinkwa zokubukiswa, ayengavunyelwa ukuzidla, ngitsho lababelaye, ngaphandle kwabapristi bodwa? 5 Ingabe kalifundanga yini emlayweni, ukuthi ngamasabatha abapristi bayalona isabatha ethempelini, bangabi lacala? 6 Kodwa ngithi kini: Kukhona lapha omkhulu kulethempeli. 7 Kodwa aluba belisazi ukuthi kutshoni ukuthi: Ngifisa isihawu hatshi umhlatshelo, ngabe kalibalahlanga labo abangelacala. 8 Ngoba iNdodana yomuntu iyiNkosi leyesabatha. 9 Futhi wasuka lapho wangena esinagogeni labo; 10 njalo khangela, kwakukhona umuntu olesandla esitshwabheneyo; basebembuza besithi: Kuvunyelwe yini ukusilisa ngamasabatha? Ukuze bambeke icala. 11 Kodwa wathi kubo: Nguwuphi umuntu phakathi kwenu, elemvu eyodwa, futhi uba iwele emgodini ngesabatha, ongayikuyibamba ayikhuphe? 12 Umuntu-ke uyedlula kangakanani imvu. Ngakho kuvunyelwe ukwenza okuhle ngamasabatha. 13 Wasesithi kumuntu: Yelula isandla sakho. Waseselula, sasesisiliswa saphelela njengesinye.

Abantwana bakho bangitshiyile, bafunga ngabangeyisibo onkulunkulu. Sengibasuthisile kodwa bafeba, baminyana endlini yesifebe. Mat. 5:34 Kodwa mina ngithi kini: Lingafungi lakanye; loba ngezulu, ngoba liyisihlalo sobukhosi sikaNkulunkulu. 37 Kodwa ilizwi lenu kalibe ngelokuthi: Yebo yebo, hatshi hatshi; kodwa okudlula lokho kuvela komubi. Jak. 5:12 Kodwa phambi kwakho konke, bazalwane bami, lingafungi, kumbe ngezulu, loba ngomhlaba, loba yisiphi esinye isifungo; kodwa kakuthi uyebo wenu abe nguyebo, lohatshi nguhatshi; ukuze lingehlelwa yikulahlwa.

eHeb. 6:16 Ngoba isibili abantu bayafunga ngomkhulu kulabo, lesifungo sokuqinisa siyisiphetho sakho konke ukuphikisana kibo. 2 Kor. 1:23 Kodwa mina ngibiza uNkulunkulu ukuthi abe ngumfakazi phezu komphefumulo wami, ukuze ngiliyekele angikezi eKorinte. Isa. 65:16 Loba ngubani ozibusisayo emhlabeni uzazibusisa ngoNkulunkulu weqiniso, lalowo ofungayo emhlabeni uzafunga ngoNkulunkulu weqiniso; ngoba inhlupheko zakuqala sezikhohlakele, njalo ngoba zisithekile emehlweni ami.

hGen. 24:2 UAbrahama wasesithi encekwini yakhe, endala yendlu yakhe, ebusa phezu kwakho konke alakho: Ake ubeke isandla sakho ngaphansi kwethangazi lami, 3 ukuze ngikufungise ngeNKOSI, uNkulunkulu wamazulu loNkulunkulu womhlaba, ukuthi kawuyikuyithathela indodana yami umfazi emadodakazini amaKhanani, engihlala phakathi kwawo. 5 Inceku yasisithi kuye: Mhlawumbe owesifazana angafuni ukungilandela kulelilizwe, ngingayibuyisela lokuyibuyisela yini indodana yakho elizweni owaphuma kulo? 6 UAbrahama wasesithi kuye: Qaphela ukuthi ungayibuyiseli khona indodana yami. 8 Kodwa uba owesifazana engafuni ukukulandela, uzakuba ukhululekile kulesisifungo sami; kuphela ungayibuyiseli indodana yami khona. 9 Inceku-ke yasibeka isandla sayo ngaphansi kwethangazi likaAbrahama inkosi yayo, yafunga kuye ngaloludaba.

iNani 5:19 Umpristi-ke uzamfungisa, athi kowesifazana: Uba kungelandoda elele lawe, njalo uba ungaduhelanga ekungcoleni, uphansi kwendoda yakho, khululeka emanzini la ababayo aletha isiqalekiso. 21 Umpristi amfungise owesifazana ngesifungo sesiqalekiso, umpristi athi kuye: INKOSI kayikwenze ube yisiqalekiso lesifungo phakathi kwabantu bakini, lapho iNKOSI isenza ithangazi lakho liwe, lesisu sakho sikhukhumale. Neh. 5:12 Basebesithi: Sizabuyisela, singabizi lutho kubo. Sizakwenza njalo njengokutsho kwakho. Ngasengibiza abapristi ngabafungisa ukuthi benze njengalelilizwi. Eks. 22:7 Uba umuntu enika umakhelwane wakhe imali loba impahla ukuze akulondoloze, njalo kwebiwe endlini yalowomuntu, uba isela litholwa lizabuyisela kuphindwe kabili. 8 Uba isela lingatholwa, umninindlu uzasondezwa kubonkulunkulu ukuthi kafakanga yini isandla sakhe empahleni yomakhelwane wakhe. 9 Ngalo lonke udaba lwecala, ngenkabi, ngobabhemi, ngemvu, ngesembatho, ngakho konke okulahlekileyo, umuntu atsho ngakho ukuthi ngokwakhe, udaba lwabo bobabili luzakuza kubonkulunkulu; lowo onkulunkulu abamlahlayo uzabuyisela kuphindwe kabili kumakhelwane wakhe. 10 Uba umuntu enikela kumakhelwane wakhe ubabhemi loba inkabi loba imvu kumbe isifuyo nje ukuthi akulondoloze, besekusifa loba kulimala kumbe kuthunjwe, kungelamuntu obonayo, 11 isifungo seNKOSI sizakuba phakathi kwabo bobabili, ukuthi kelulanga isandla empahleni kamakhelwane wakhe; njalo umniniyo uzasemukela, kayikubuyisela.

Tshu. 5:4 Lapho ufunga isifungo kuNkulunkulu ungaphuzi ukusigcwalisa, ngoba kakulantokozo kuziwula; gcwalisa lokho okufungileyo. 5 Kungcono ukuthi ungafungi kulokuthi ufunge ungagcwalisi. 6 Ungavumeli umlomo wakho ukuthi wenze inyama yakho yone, futhi ungatsho phambi kwengilosi ukuthi bekuyisiphosiso; kungani uNkulunkulu athukuthelele ilizwi lakho, achithe umsebenzi wezandla zakho.

Lizaqinisa lokuqinisa izithembiso zenu, lenze sibili izithembiso zenu! 26 Ngakho zwanini ilizwi leNKOSI, lonke Juda elihlala elizweni leGibithe: Khangelani, mina ngifungile ngebizo lami elikhulu, kutsho iNKOSI, ukuthi isibili ibizo lami kalisayikubizwa ngumlomo woloba ngubani wakoJuda, elizweni lonke leGibithe, esithi: Kuphila kweNkosi uJehova.
