IzAga 24:16 Gezani, nihlanzeke; susani ububi bezenzo zenu phambi kwamehlo ami; yekani ukwenza okubi; fundani ukwenza okuhle; funani ukwahlulela, nikhulule abacindezelweyo, yahlulelani izintandane, nilwele umfelokazi. Wozani manje, sithethe indaba, kusho uJehova: noma izono zenu zibomvu, ziyoba mhlophe njengeqhwa; noma zibomvu njengegazi, ziyoba njengoboya bezimvu. Isaya 1:16-18 Kungenxa yomusa weNkosi ukuthi asiqedwa, ngoba ububele bakhe abupheli. Busha njalo ekuseni; ukuthembeka kwakho kukhulu. IsiLilo 3:22-23 Wozani sibuyele kuJehova, ngokuba usiklebhulile, uzosiphulukisa; usishayile, uzosibopha. Emva kwezinsuku ezimbili uzosiphilisa; ngosuku lwesithathu uzosivusa, siphile phambi kwakhe. Hoseya 6:1-2 Ngakho-ke ngiyakumbheka uJehova; ngiyakulindela uNkulunkulu wensindiso yami; uNkulunkulu wami uyakungizwa. Ungajabuli ngami, sitha sami; lapho ngiwa, ngiyakuvuka; lapho ngihlezi ebumnyameni, uJehova uyakuba ngukukhanya kimi. Ngiyakuthwala intukuthelo kaJehova, ngokuba ngonile kuye, aze amele indaba yami, angihlulele; uyangikhiphela ekukhanyeni, ngibone ukulunga kwakhe. Mika 7:7-9 Ngakho-ke lokhu sinompristi omkhulu omkhulu, odlulele ezulwini, uJesu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, masibambelele esivumelwaneni sethu. Ngokuba asinaye umpristi omkhulu ongenakuzwelana nobuthakathaka bethu, kepha walingwa kukho konke njengathi, engenasono. Ngakho-ke masisondele ngesibindi esihlalweni somusa, ukuze samukele isihawu, sifumane umusa wokusiza ngesikhathi sokuswela. KumaHeberu 4:14-16 Uma sithi sinenhlanganyelo naye, sibe sihamba ebumnyameni, siqamba amanga, asenzi iqiniso; kepha uma sihamba ekukhanyeni, njengaye esekukhanyeni, sinenhlanganyelo omunye nomunye, negazi likaJesu Kristu iNdodana yakhe liyasihlanza ezonweni zonke. Uma sithi asinasono, siyazikhohlisa, neqiniso alikho kithi. Uma sivuma izono zethu, uthembekile, ulungile ukuba asithethelele izono zethu, asihlanze kukho konke ukungalungi. 10 Uma sithi asonanga, simenza umqambimanga, nezwi lakhe alikho kithi. 1 Johane 1:6-10 Ungabi namahloni okuvuma izono zakho; futhi ungaphoqi indlela yomfula. UmShumayeli 4:26 Kodwa kulabo abaphendukayo, wabanika ukubuya, wabaduduza labo ababehluleka ukubekezela. Buyelani eNkosini, nishiye izono zenu, nenze umthandazo wenu phambi kobuso bakhe, ningakhubekisi. Buyelani koPhezukonke, nifulathele ububi: ngokuba uzokuhola niphume ebumnyameni niye ekukhanyeni kwempilo, futhi uzonde kakhulu isinengiso. UmShumayeli 17:2426 Duduzekani, bantwana bami, nikhale kuNkulunkulu, ngokuba nizakukhunjulwa nguye owanehlisela lezi zinto. Ngoba njengoba nje kwakuwumqondo wenu ukuphambuka kuNkulunkulu, ngakho-ke, uma nibuyile, mfuneni kayishumi futhi. Ngoba lowo owehlisele lezi zinhlupho phezu kwenu uyonilethela injabulo ephakade ngensindiso yenu. Yibani nenhliziyo enhle, Jerusalema: ngoba lowo okunike lelo gama uyakuniduduza. UBharuki 4:27-30
