Nakuba le nkolelo ineqiniso, kodwa ayihlanganisi konke; into uNkulunkulu ayicela kumuntu ayikho mayelana nohambo lwakhe ngoNkulunkulu kuphela; imayelana nenkonzo kanye nokusebenza kukamoya. Abazalwane abaningi abakaze bacabange ngokusebenzela uNkulunkulu ngisho noma bedlule ezintweni eziningi, ngoba umsebenzi owenziwa umuntu awuvumelani nalokho uNkulunkulu akucelayo. Ngakho, ayikho into umuntu anendaba nayo kulo msebenzi, futhi lesi yiso kanye isizathu esenza umnyango womuntu ubheke ohlangothini olulodwa. Nonke kufanele niqale ukungena emsebenzini kaNkulunkulu, ukuze nazi zonke izinto ezimayelana nawo. Yilokhu okufanele ningene kukho. Umsebenzi awubhekiseli kokwenzela uNkulunkulu; ubhekisela ekutheni ukuphila komuntu nalokho akuphilelayo kujabulisa uNkulunkulu yini.
