Ke wena, thetha izinto eziyifaneleyo imfundiso ephilileyo;
2 ukuba amadoda amakhulu abe ziingcathu, andileke, abe nesidima, aphile elukholweni, eluthandweni, elunyamezelweni;
3 ukuba abafazi abakhulu kwangokunjalo babe nesimilo esibafaneleyo, bangabi ngabatyholi; bangazilahleli kwiwayini eninzi; bafundise okuhle;
4 ukuze bayale abafazana ukuba babe nesidima, bawathande amadoda abo, babathande abantwana babo,
5 babe nesidima, babe nyulu, basebenze ezindlwini zabo, babe nokulunga, bawathobele awabo amadoda, ukuze ilizwi likaThixo linganyeliswa.
