1 Ke kaloku, bazalwana, ndiyanazisa iindaba ezilungileyo, ezo ndazishumayela kuni, nazamkelayo nokuzamkela, nimiyo nokuma kuzo,
2 nisindiswayo nokusindiswa ngazo, ukuba nizibambile ngelizwi endazishumayela ngalo kuni; ukuba anithe nafumana nakholwa.
3 Kuba ndaninikela kweziyintloko izinto oko ndakwamkelayo nokukwamkela: okokuba uKristu wazifela izono zethu ngokwezibhalo,
4 nokokuba wangcwatywa, nokokuba uvukile ngomhla wesithathu ngokwezibhalo;
5 nokokuba wabonwa nguKefas, emva koko ngabalishumi elinababini.
6 Emveni koko wabonwa ngaxesha linye ngabazalwana abangaphezu kwamakhulu amahlanu, abasahleliyo nangoku abona baninzi kubo; inxenye ke yalala ukufa.
7 Emva koko wabonwa nguYakobi, kamva ngabo bonke abapostile.*
