4 Ngibonga uNkulunkulu wami njalo ngikukhumbula emikhulekweni yami,
5 uma ngizwa ngothando lwakho nokukholwa onakho eNkosini uJesu nakubo bonke abangcwele,
6 ukuze ukuhlanganyela kokukholwa kwakho kube nomsebenzi ekwazini konke okuhle okukithi kuKristu,
7 ngokuba nginokuthokoza okukhulu nenduduzo ngothando lwakho, ngokuba izinhliziyo zabangcwele zihlunyelelwe ngawe mzalwane.
8 Ngalokho noma nginesibindi esikhulu kuKristu sokuba ngikuyale ngakho okufaneleyo,
9 nokho ngenxa yothando okungcono ngiyancenga, njengokuba nginje mina Pawulu osemdala, manje futhi ngiyisiboshwa sikaKristu Jesu,
10 ngikuncenga ngomntanami engimzeleyo ekuboshweni kwami, u-Onesimu;
