9 Ngalokhu uthando lukaNkulunkulu lwabonakaliswa kithi, ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathuma iNdodana yakhe ezelwe yodwa emhlabeni, ukuze siphile ngayo.
Shesho oluoulugano lwa Ngolobhe lwahakwinkwiliwe mwawamo awamwetu, shesho Ungolobhe ahasontelezwa umwana wakwe mwene musi aje tidele ashilile umwene.
10 Uthando lukulokhu, kungesikuthi thina samthanda uNkulunkulu, kodwa ukuthi yena wasithanda, wasethuma iNdodana yakhe ukuthi ibe yinhlawulo yokuthula ngezono zethu.
