16 ukuze ndibe ngobúsela iintlanga kuYesu Kristu, osebenza ububingeleli ngazo iindaba ezilungileyo zikaThixo, ukuze ukusondezwa kweentlanga kwamkeleke kakuhle, kúngcwalisiwe ngoMoya oyiNgcwele.
17 Ngoko ndiyazingca, ndíkuKristu Yesu, ngezinto ezilunge kuThixo.
18 Kuba mna andiyi kuba nabuganga bakuthetha nto ngezinto angazisebenzanga uKristu ngam, ukuze zimlulamele iintlanga, ngelizwi ke nangomsebenzi,
19 ngamandla emiqondiso nezimanga, ngamandla oMoya kaThixo; endide ndathi, ndithabathela eYerusalem, ndajikelezisa, ndezisa kwelaseIliriko, ndazizalisa iindaba ezilungileyo zikaKristu.
20 Ndenjénjalo ke ukuzondelela ukushumayela iindaba ezilungileyo; kungekhona apho uKristu wakhankanywayo, ukuze ndingakhi phezu kwesiseko somnye;
21 kube njengokuba kubhaliwe, kwathiwa,Abo bangabikelwanga nto ngaye, baya kubona;Nabo bangevanga nto, baya kuqonda.(UIsaya 52:15)
22 Kungoko ndabanjezelwayo nokubanjezelwa futhi, ukuba ndingafiki kuni.
