4 Kepha kwaba ngenxa yabazalwane bamanga abangeniswa ngasese, abangena ngokunyenya, bezakuhlola ukukhululeka kwethu esinakho kuKristu Jesu, ukuze basenze izigqila,
5 esingabahlehlelanga nasikhashana ngokubathobela, ukuze iqiniso levangeli lime njalo kinina.
6 Kepha kwabadumile ngokuthi bayinto -- nokuba babe yini, akulutho kimi; uNkulunkulu akakhethi ubuso bamuntu -- ngokuba kimi abadumileyo abenezelanga lutho.
7 Kepha kunalokho, lapho bebona ukuthi ngithenjiwe ngevangeli kwabangasokiyo njengoPetru kwabasokayo,
8 ngokuba yena owanika uPetru amandla ukuba abe ngumphostoli wabasokayo wanginika nami amandla ukuba ngibe ngumphostoli wabezizwe,
9 bathi ukubona umusa engiwuphiweyo, oJakobe noKhefase noJohane, ababaziswa ngokuthi bayizinsika, banika mina noBarnaba isandla sokunene sokuhlangana ukuba thina siye kwabezizwe, kepha bona baye kwabasokayo,
10 kuphela ukuba sikhumbule abampofu, eyonanto nami ebengikhuthalele ukuyenza.
