Yonke into ixhomekeke ekwenzeni okulungileyo kwentando. Iminqweno yokulungileyo nokunyulu ilungile, kangangoko inokuhamba; kodwa ukuba siyaphela apha, ayisebenzi nto. Abaninzi baya kuya kwantshabalalo ngeli xesha bethembile bekwanqwenela ukoyisa ukuthambekela kwabo ebubimi. Abayiyekeli intando yabo kuThixo. Abakhethi ukuba bamkhonze.UL 129.1
UThixo usinike amandla okukhetha; ngawethu ukuba siwasebenzise. Asingekhe siziziguqule iintliziyo zethu, asingekhe sizilawule iingcinga zethu, ukutshiseka kwethu, ukuthanda kwethu. Asingeke sikwazi ukuzenza nyulu, silungele umsebenzi kaThixo. Sinako kodwa ukukhetha ukumsebenzela uThixo, singamnika intando yethu; uya kuthi ke asebenze ngaphakathi kwethu ukuthanda nokwenza ngokokuthanda kwaKhe. Iya kuthi ke yonke indalo yethu ibekwe phantsi kolawlo lukaKristu.UL 129.2

Ubomi obunyulu nobunendili, ubomi boloyiso ekuthandeni ukwanelisa ilithe nenkanuko, bunokubakho kuye wonke ohlanganisa intando yakhe engenamandla, engazinzanga nentado kaThixo engagungqiyo.UL 129.3

Bamele baboniswe ukuba ukwaphula imithetho yempilo, ngokwenza iimeko ezinezifo nokubawa okungeyondalo, kubeka isiseko somkhwa wotywala.

Ngokwangoku besaxhomekeke kumandla kaThixo ukuqhawula iimbophelelo zokuthanda ukutya, kufuneka basebenzisane noThixo ngokuthobela imithetho yaKhe, eyokuziphatha neyomzimba.UL 129.4

Ngenxa yokwabo ukulungelwa, kwakunye nokulungelwa kwabanye, makuzanywe indlela ethile abangathi ngayo babuyise okulingana noko bakuzuzileyo.
