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.
8 Ngalokho ngithanda ukuba amadoda akhuleke ezindaweni zonke, ephakamisa izandla ezingcwele, engenalulaka nokuphikisana.
9 Ngokunjalo nabesifazane mabagqoke izingubo ezifaneleyo, bazihlobise ngokuhlonipha nokuqonda, kungabi ngezinwele ezalukiweyo, nangegolide, nangamaparele,* nangezambatho ezinemali eningi,
10 kepha njengokufanele abesifazane abashoyo ukuthi besaba uNkulunkulu bahlobe ngemisebenzi emihle.
