Iinkolelo zeMbongi zeZithethe
Sikhole ukuba iSibhalo siqukumbula iincwadi ezingama-39 zeTestamente Endala nezingama-27 zeTestamente Entsha njengoko zikhuthazwe ekuqaleni yaye zanikwa nguMoya oNgcwele. Sikhole ukuba iSibhalo asinaliphosiso, singenasiphako, yaye siyakamkelwa, sifundwe, sikholwe yaye sithethelwe njengoko uLowo uThixo asibhalileyo.
Sikhole ukuba iSibhalo sivela uThixo omnye kuphela ohlala yaye ongqiqirika, okhoyo kwabantu abathathu bakaThixo: uYise, uNyana noMoya oNgcwele. Abathathu bakaThixo bangomnye uThixo, bemnye ngobungaka, belingana ngamandla negala.
Sikhole kuThixo ngokupheleleyo njengoThixo noMntu, ekuzalweni kwakhe kwesithwele, ubomi bakhe obungenasono, imimangaliso yakhe, ukufa kwakhe okwenzeka esikhundleni sethu noxolelo, ukuvuka kwakhe emva kokufa, ukunyuka kwakhe ngakuye uThixo uyise, ulawulo lwakhe lwangoku phezu kweCawa nokungenelela kwayo, nokubuya kwakhe okubonakalayo ngamandla negala.
Sikhole emsebenzini wangoku kaMoya oNgcwele, umsebenzi wakhe wokuzalwa kwengqondo ubalulekile ekusindisweni. Ngamandla kaMoya oNgcwele ahlala kuthi bonke abakholekileyo kuKrestu, siyenziwa ukuba sikwazi ukuphila ubomi obungenasono bokuncoma nokusebenzela.
Sikholeza ukuba wonke umuntu uvuka ekufeni ngomzimba ngosuku lokugweba lokugqibela phambi kweNkosi uYesu Kristo — abalahlekileyo baya ekohlwayweni okuhlala njalo, nabasindisiweyo baya ebomini obuhlala njalo.
