1 Ngenxa yalokho mina Pawulu ngiyisiboshwa sikaKristu Jesu ngenxa yenu nina bezizwe --
2 uma ngabe senizwile ngohlelo lomusa kaNkulunkulu engiwuphiweyo ngenxa yenu
3 ukuthi ngaziswa imfihlakalo ngesambulo, njengalokho sengaloba ngokufushane --
4 okungakho, nxa nikufunda, ningaqonda ukwazi kwami ngemfihlakalo kaKristu,
5 bengayaziswanga abantwana babantu ezizukulwaneni ezinye, njengalokhu isiyambuliwe manje kubaphostoli bakhe abangcwele nabaprofethi ngoMoya
6 ukuthi abezizwe bayizindlalifa kanye nathi, nokuthi bamzimba munye nathi, nokuthi bangabahlanganyeli besithembiso kanye nathi kuKristu Jesu ngevangeli;
7 engenziwa isikhonzi salo ngokwesipho somusa kaNkulunkulu engiwuphiwe ngokokusebenza kwamandla akhe.
