5 Bonke abafundi bathokoza besizwa lokhu, basebekhetha uStefane indoda eyayilokholo oluqinileyo njalo eyayigcwele umoya ongcwele, loFiliphu,+ loProkhuru, loNikhanori, loThimoni, loPhamena kanye loNikholayi we-Antiyokhi owayephendukele ekholweni lwesiJuda.* 6 Babaletha kubaphostoli futhi abaphostoli bathandaza, basebebabeka izandla.+

23 Phezu kwalokho babeka abadala ebandleni ngalinye,+ bathandaza njalo bazila ukudla.+ Babanikela kuJehova,* lowo abasebekholwa kuye.

2 Ngakho umbonisi kumele abe yindoda engasolekiyo, elenkosikazi eyodwa, ezibambayo kukho konke ekwenzayo, esebenzisa kuhle ingqondo yayo,*+ ehlelekileyo, eyamukela izihambi,+ eyenelisa ukufundisa,+

6 ingabi ngumuntu osanda kuguquka+ ngoba ingazikhukhumeza ibisithola ukwahlulelwa okunjengokukaDeveli.

14 Ungasithathi lula isipho olaso owasiphiwa ngesiphrofetho ngesikhathi iqula labadala likubeka izandla.+
