3 Njengobe ngakuyala, ngesikhatsi ngiya eMasedoniya, ngicela uhlale lapho e-Efesu, kukhona bantfu labanetimfundziso temanga lapho kuleyo ndzawo. Bancandze ubatjele bakuyekele loko. 4 Ubayale nekutsi bangatinaki tinganekwane nemilandvo lengapheli yetitukulwane. Konkhe loku kubanga kuphikisana lokungasiti lutfo esikhundleni sekutsi kuphumelelise kusebentela Nkulunkulu ngekukholwa. 5 Empeleni injongo yemyalo wetfu kuvusetela lutsandvo loluphuma enhlitiyweni lemhlophe, nakunembeza lomsulwa, nasekukholweni lokute kutentisa. 6 Labanye ngekuyigeja lenjongo baphambukele etinkhulumeni letingenamsebenti, 7bafisa kuba bafundzisi bemtsetfo ngaphandle kwekukucondzisisa kahle loko labakushoko, naloko labakugcizelelako.

16Kodvwa ngahawukelwa ngaso lesizatfu sekutsi kimi lengisembili, Jesu Khristu abonakalise konkhe kubeketela kwakhe, kube sibonelo kulabo labayawukholwa kuye, badzimate babe nekuphila lokuphakadze. 17 Kuyo iNkhosi yetikhatsi, lengabhubhi, nalengabonwa ngemehlo enyama, nalekungiyo yodvwa lenguNkulunkulu, akube ludvumo nebukhosi phakadze naphakadze. Amen.
