5 Njengobe ngingulomdzala welibandla lokanye nani, lofakaza ngekuhlupheka kwaKhristu nalohlanganyela enkhatimulweni letawembulwa,+ ngincenga* labadzala belibandla labasemkhatsini wenu, ngitsi: 2 Yelusani umhlambi waNkulunkulu+ leniwuphatsisiwe, nibe babonisi,* loko ningakwenti ngekucindzetelwa, kodvwa nikwente ngekutitsandzela embikwaNkulunkulu;+ hhayi ngekufuna kutizuzisa,+ kodvwa ngekutimisela; 3 ningatenti emakhosi etikwalabo labalifa laNkulunkulu,+ kodvwa banini tibonelo emhlambini.+ 4 Nasekembuliwe umelusi lomkhulu,+ nitawutfola umchele wenkhatimulo longaphuphi.+
5 Ngendlela lefanako, nine madvodza lasemasha titfobeni emadvodzeni lamadzala.*+ Nonkhe nibotfobelana, ngobe Nkulunkulu umelene nalabatigcabhako kodvwa ubanika umusa wakhe lomkhulu labo labatfobekile.+
6 Titfobeni ngephansi kwesandla saNkulunkulu lesinemandla, khona atoniphakamisa ngesikhatsi lesifanele,+ 7 futsi niphonse konkhe kukhatsateka kwenu kuye,+ ngobe uyanikhatsalela.+ 8 Hlalani nisangulukile niphindze nicaphele.+ Sitsa senu Develi, sihambahamba njengelibhubesi lelibhodlako, lelifuna lotsite lelingamshwabadzela.*+ 9 Kodvwa melanani naye,+ nicine ekukholweni, nati kutsi bonkhe bazalwane benu emhlabeni babeketelela kuhlupheka lokufanako.+ 10 Ngemuva kwekuhlupheka sikhashana, Nkulunkulu wawo wonkhe umusa lomkhulu, lowanibitela enkhatimulweni yaphakadze+ nimunye naKhristu, utawucedzela kuceceshwa kwenu. Utanenta nicine,+ anente nibe nemandla+ futsi anibeke esisekelweni lesicinile. 11 Emandla ngewakhe kuze kube phakadze. Amen.

Ngako manini nicine kuwo. 13 Umfati* loseBhabhulona lokhetsiwe njengani, uyanivusela, kanye naMakho+ indvodzana yami uyanivusela. 14 Nibovuselana ngekwanga kwelutsandvo.
Shengatsi nonkhe lenisebunyeni naKhristu ningaba nekuthula.
