1 Njengobe ngiyindvodza leseyikhulile,* ngibhalela Gayusi umzalwane lotsandzekako, lengimtsandza kakhulu.
2 Mzalwane lotsandzekako, ngithantazela kutsi uchubeke uphumelela kuto tonkhe tintfo futsi ube nemphilo lenhle, njengobe nje nanyalo uphumelela. 3 Ngajabula kakhulu ngesikhatsi bazalwane befika futsi batsi wena ubambelele ecinisweni, njengobe nje uchubeka uhamba kulo.+ 4 Kute lenye intfo lengijabulisa* kakhulu kwendlula loku: Kuva kutsi bantfwana bami bayachubeka bahamba ecinisweni.+
5 Mzalwane lotsandzekako, kwetsembeka kwakho ukukhombisa ngaloko lokwentela bazalwane, ngisho nobe ungabati.+ 6 Bafakazile ebandleni mayelana nelutsandvo lonalo. Ngicela kutsi nasebahamba ubasite, futsi loku ukwente ngendlela letawujabulisa Nkulunkulu.+ 7 Ngobe baphume bayoshumayela ngenca yelibito laNkulunkulu, futsi abazange batsatse lutfo+ kubantfu betive. 8 Tsine-ke sibophekile kutsi sibemukele kahle bantfu labanjalo,+ kuze sibe tisebenti letikanye nabo ecinisweni.+
9 Kukhona lengikubhalele libandla, kodvwa Diyotrefesi, lotsandza kuba sembili emkhatsini wenu,+ akatihloniphi tintfo lesitishoko.+ 10 Ngako-ke nangifika ngitatikhiphela ebaleni tintfo latentako, lokufaka ekhatsi kukhuluma tintfo letimbi ngatsi.*+ Kodvwa loko akumenetisi, ngobe uphindze angabemukeli ngenhlonipho bazalwane,+ nalabo lababemukelako wetama kubavimba nekubacosha ebandleni.
11 Mzalwane lotsandzekako, ungalingisi bantfu labenta lokubi, kodvwa lingisa bantfu labenta lokuhle.+ Umuntfu lowenta lokuhle uvela kuNkulunkulu.+ Loyo lowenta lokubi akakamboni Nkulunkulu.+ 12 Demetriyusi ufakazelwa kahle ngibo bonkhe, kantsi liciniso nalo liyamfakazela. Ecinisweni natsi siyamfakazela, futsi nawe uyati kutsi bufakazi betfu buliciniso.
13 Tinyenti tintfo lokufanele ngikubhalele ngato, kodvwa angifisi kutibhala phansi. 14 Kepha ngetsemba kutsi ngitakubona masinyane, sikhulume buso nebuso.
Shengatsi ungaba nekuthula.
Bazalwane bayakuvusela. Nawe ubovusela bazalwane ngamunye ngamunye.
