5 Kuba mnye uThixo; mnye nomlamli phakathi koThixo nabantu, umntu uKristu Yesu,
6 lowo wazinikelayo ukuba abe yintlawulelo yokukhulula abantu bonke; ubungqina ke obo bokungqinwa ngamaxesha angawabo;
7 endithe ndamiselwa bona mna, ukuba ndibe ngumshumayeli nompostile* (ndithetha inyaniso ndikuKristu, andixoki), umfundisi weentlanga elukholweni nasenyanisweni.
8 Ngoko ndinga angathandaza amadoda kuzo zonke iindawo, ephakamisa izandla ezingcwele, engenangqumbo, engenantandabuzo.
9 Kwangokunjalo mabathi nabafazi banxibe iingubo ezifanelekileyo, beneentloni, benesidima, ingabi kukuphotha iinwele, nokunxitywa kwegolide neeperile,* nesambatho esixabiso likhulu;
10 mabathi (ngokufanele abafazi abathi bahlonela uThixo), bavathe imisebenzi elungileyo.
11 Umfazi, ezolile, makafunde ethobele konke.
