Okwesibili. Inkundla yezemidlalo nekhwaya. Ubuwena buyaphiliswa obala, kungenjalo bufela ngasese.
Okwesithathu. Inyuvesi noma ikolishi lokuqeqeshela umsebenzi wezandla.
Okwesine. Uhlelo lokuthungatha abanekhono. Hlolani yonke ingane. Yisona sixhumanisi esishibhe kunazo zonke, futhi yisona sodwa esifinyelela enganeni ekhaliphile enganakwa muntu.
Okwesihlanu. Isikhwama somfundaze.
Okwesithupha. Umqashi olindile ekugcineni. Ngaphandle kwalesi, ezinye ezinhlanu zimane zikhiqize abantu abafudukela kwamanye amazwe.

Uma lokhu kungasebenza kithina singawuphethe umbuso, kungasebenzela noma ubani engawuphethe.
Into eyodwa yokugcina.

Saqala ngeBhayibheli, inkomishi kathayela nokubekezela. Sase sibopha isonto, ibhange, isikole, ujantshi nombuso kwaba uhlelo olulodwa.
Thathani ukuhleleka. Kodwa ningakuthathi ukushiywa kwabanye ngaphandle.
Indlela yokwenza ayikaze ibe yimfihlo.
Futhi ayikaze ibe msulwa.
