2 Masithi sonke ngabanye simkholise ummelwane kokumlungeleyo, ukuze akheke.
3 Kuba naye uKristu akazikholisanga; wathi, njengokuba kubhaliwe, Iingcikivo zabakungcikiváyo záwa phezu kwam.
4 Kuba izinto zonke ezabhalwayo ngenxa engaphambili, zaye zibhalelwa okwethu ukufundiswa, ukuze sithi ngalo unyamezelo novuselelo lwezibhalo sibe nalo ithemba.
5 Wanga ke uThixo wonyamezelo novuselelo anganinika ukucinga nto-nye phakathi kwenu, ngokukaKristu Yesu;
6 ukuze nithi, nimxhelo mnye, nimzukise ngamlomo mnye uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu.
7 Kungoko ndithi, Yamkelanani, njengokuba naye uKristu wasamkelayo, ukuba kuzukiswe uThixo.
