17 Ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ukuba niqaphele ababanga ukwahlukana nokukhubekisa, bephambene nesifundiso enafundiswa sona nina, nahlukane nabo;
18 ngokuba abanjalo abayikhonzi iNkosi yethu uKristu, bakhonza isisu sabo; nangamazwi amahle namnandi bakhohlisa izinhliziyo zabangenacala.
19 Ngokuba ukulalela kwenu kuzwakele kubo bonke; ngakho-ke ngiyathokoza ngani, kepha ngithanda ukuba nihlakaniphe kokuhle, nibe ngabangahlakaniphile kokubi.
20 Kepha uNkulunkulu wokuthula uzakumchoboza masinyane uSathane phansi kwezinyawo zenu. Umusa weNkosi yethu uKristu mawube nani.
21 Uyakhonza kini uThimothewu, isisebenzi kanye nami, noLukiyu, noJasoni, noSosiphatru, izihlobo zami.
22 Mina Tertiyu engilobe le ncwadi ngiyakhonza kini eNkosini.
23 Uyakhonza kini uGayu ongingenise kwakhe, mina nebandla lonke. Uyakhonza kini u-Erastu, umphathisikhwama womuzi, noKwartu umzalwane.
