Umthandazo waPawula nesifiso sakhe sekuya eRoma
8 Kwekucala, ngibonga Nkulunkulu wami ngaJesu Khristu, ngani nonkhe; ngobe umhlaba wonkhe ubabata kukholwa kwenu. 9 Nkulunkulu lengimkhonta ngemoya wami wonkhe ngekushumayela liVangeli leNdvodzana yakhe ungufakazi wami wekutsi nginikhumbula kangakanani emithandazweni yami onkhe emalanga. 10 Sonkhe sikhatsi emikhulekweni yami ngincusa kutsi Nkulunkulu, ngentsandvo yakhe, awente ematfuba ekutsi nginivakashele nome nini. 11 Maye, ngiyafisa kunibona khona ngitewucetunelana nani sipho saMoya kuze nitewucina. 12 Ngisho kutsi nine nami sitewusitakala kanyekanye, nine ngekukholwa kwami, nami ngekukholwa kwenu.
13 Kufanele nati, bazalwane bami, kutsi sengemahlandla lamanyenti kanganani ngetama kunivakashela, kodvwa bengisolomane ngivimbeleka, kwadzimate kwaba ngulamuhla. Kukhona lengifuna kubazuza baphendvuke emkhatsini wenu, njengobe ngentile nakulabanye betive, 14 ngobe nginemtfwalo kubo bonkhe, emaGriki nalabangakaphucuki, labafundzile nalabangakafundzi. 15 Ngiko nje ngilambele kushumayela liVangeli nakini lenihlala eRoma.
Emandla eliVangeli
16 Anginamahloni ngeliVangeli, ngobe lingemandla aNkulunkulu ekusindzisa bonkhe bantfu labakholwako, kucala emaJuda, kulandzele emaGriki. 17 Ngobe liVangeli lembula kutsi Nkulunkulu wenta kanjani kutsi bantfu balungelane naye: Kungekukholwa, kusuka ekucaleni kuye ekugcineni, njengobe umBhalo utsi: “Lolungile ngekukholwa utawuphila.”
Bonkhe bantfu banelicala
18 Lulaka lwaNkulunkulu lubonakala luphuma ezulwini lwehlela etikwako konkhe kungamesabi Nkulunkulu nekungalungi kwebantfu labavimba liciniso ngekungalungi kwabo. 19 Nkulunkulu uyabajezisa, ngobe loko labangahle bakwati bantfu ngaNkulunkulu kusebaleni, njengobe yena cobo lwakhe akubonakalisile kubo. 20 Kusukela ekudalweni kwemhlaba nemkhatsi emandla akhe laphakadze nebuNkulunkulu bakhe bebufihlekile emehlweni ebantfu; noko bebukhona etingcondvweni kutsi bubonakale etintfweni latentile. Ngako-ke bate taba; 21 ngobe batsi kantsi Nkulunkulu bayamati bangete bambonga bamnike neludvumo lolumfanele njengaNkulunkulu. Esikhundleni saloko imicabango yabo yaba lite, netinhlitiyo tabo taba mnyama. 22 Batsi bahlakaniphile, besuka baba tilima; 23 bashiya bukhosi baNkulunkulu longabhubhi, bakhonta umfanekiso wemuntfu lobhubhako, newetinyoni, newetilwane letihamba ngetinyawo letine, newaletihamba ngesisu.
24 Ngako-ke Nkulunkulu ubayekelele etinkhanukweni tetinhlitiyo tabo, emanyaleni nasekungcolisaneni imitimba yabo. 25Baguculele liciniso laNkulunkulu balenta emanga; bakhonta, badvumisa indalo kunekukhonta nekudvumisa uMdali lokunguyena abongeka kuze kube phakadze. Amen.
26 Ngako-ke Nkulunkulu ubayekelele etinkhanukweni letilihlazo. Labasikati bakhona bagucule imvelo lengabe bayenta kulabadvuna, kodvwa bagucuke balalana bodvwana, benta labebangakadalelwa kona. 27 Kanjalo nemadvodza ayekele kulalana nalabasikati, kodvwa adliwa yinkhanuko ase alalana odvwana; ngako atfola sijeziso lesifanele kona kwawo.
28Njengobe abafunanga kumati Nkulunkulu, ngako wababukelela, tingcondvo tabo taba butsakatsaka, netimilo tabo tonakala. 29 Bagcwele tonkhe tinhlobo tebubi: kona, nekuhawukela, nekuzindlekela; bagcwele umona, nekubulala, nekulwa, nemacebo, nebucili, nenhlebo. 30Bakhuluma kabi ngalabanye, batondze Nkulunkulu, bangahloniphi, batigcabhe, batikhukhumete, bacambe lokubi, bangahloniphi batali babo; 31abehlukanisi lokuhle kulokubi, abatigcini tetsembiso tabo, abanalutsandvo, abanasihawu. 32 Bayawati umtsetfo waNkulunkulu lotsi bantfu labenta tintfo letinje bafanele kufa, kepha bona abagcini ngekutenta kuphela kodvwa besuka bavumelana nalabo labatentako.
