9 kuba ndabhalela kona oku, ukuze ndikwazi ukucikideka kwenu, ukuba ningábevayo na ezintweni zonke.
10 Enimxolelayo ke into, ndiyamxolela nam; kuba nam, ukuba ndixolele into endiyixoleleyo, ndenzé ngenxa yenu, phambi kukaKristu;
11 ukuze singabonelelwa nguye uSathana; kuba amaqhinga akhe siyawazi.
12 Ke kaloku, ndathi ndakufika eTrowa ngenxa yeendaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu, ndakuba ndiwuvulelwe nomnyango eNkosini,
13 andibanga nakonwaba emoyeni wam, ngokungamfumani uTito, umzalwana wam; ndesuka ndababulisa, ndanduluka ndaya kwelaseMakedoni.
14 Makubulelwe ke kuThixo, ohlala eduma ngathi sikuKristu, elibonakalalisa ngathi ivumba lokwaziwa kwakhe ezindaweni zonke.
15 Ngokuba kuye uThixo silivumba elimnandi likaKristu, phakathi kwabasindiswayo naphakathi kwabatshabalalayo.
