1 Ngakho-ke kuqala kukho konke ngiyala ukuba ukunxusa, nokukhuleka, nokucela, nokubonga kwenzelwe abantu bonke,
2 amakhosi nabo bonke abakhulu, ukuze sihlale kahle nangokuthula, ngokumesaba uNkulunkulu nangesizotha esipheleleyo.
3 Lokhu kuhle, kuyabongeka emehlweni kaNkulunkulu uMsindisi wethu
4 othanda ukuba abantu bonke basindiswe, bafinyelele ekulazini iqiniso.
5 Ngokuba munye uNkulunkulu, munye nomlamuleli phakathi kukaNkulunkulu nabantu, umuntu uKristu Jesu,
6 owazinikela abe yinhlawulo yabo bonke, kube ngubufakazi besikhathi esiyiso,
7 engamiselwa khona mina ukuba ngibe ngummemezeli nomphostoli -- ngikhuluma iqiniso, angiqambi amanga -- yebo, umfundisi wabezizwe ekukholweni naseqinisweni.
