1Okunye-ke, bazalwane, siyalincenga si li khuthaza eNkosini uJesu, njengalokhu lakwemukela kithi ukuthi kulifanele njani ukuhamba lokumthokozisa uNkulunkulu, ukuze lengezelele kukho kakhulu.

2Ngoba liyazi ukuthi milayo bani esalinika yona ngeNkosi uJesu.

3Ngoba le yintando kaNkulunkulu, ukungcweliswa kwenu, ukuthi lizithinte ekuphingeni;

4ukuthi ngulowo lalowo wenu kakwazi ukugcina esakhe isitsha ekungcweliseni lekuhlonipheni,

5kungeyisikho enkanukweni yesifiso, njengabezizwe lazo ezingamaziyo uNkulunkulu.

6Kakungabi khona oweqayo aqile umfowabo endabeni; ngoba iNkosi ingumphindiseli ngazo zonke lezizinto, njengoba lathi salitshela ngaphambili safakaza.

7Ngoba uNkulunkulu kasibizelanga emanyaleni, kodwa ebungcweleni.

8Ngakho lowo odelelayo, kadeleli muntu, kodwa uNkulunkulu owasinika futhi uMoya wakhe oyiNgcwele.

9Kodwa mayelana lothando lobuzalwane kalidingi ukuthi ngi libhalele; ngoba lina uqobo lifundisiwe nguNkulunkulu ukuthi lithandane;

10ngoba lani lenza lokhu kubo bonke abazalwane abaseMakedoniya lonke. Kodwa siyalikhuthaza, bazalwane, ukuthi lengeze kakhulu,

11njalo likhuthalele ukuba lokuthula lokwenza okwenu, lokusebenza ngezenu izandla, njengoba salilaya;

12ukuze lihambe ngokuhlonitshwa ngabangaphandle, lingasweli lutho.

13Kodwa kangithandi ukuthi lingabi lalwazi, bazalwane, ngalabo abaleleyo, ukuze lingadabuki, njengabanye labo abangelathemba.

14Ngoba uba sikholwa ukuthi uJesu wafa wavuka, ngokunjalo-ke labo abalele kuJesu, uNkulunkulu uyabaletha kanye laye.

15Ngoba lokhu sikutsho kini ngelizwi leNkosi, ukuthi thina esiphilayo esitshiywe kuze kube sekufikeni kweNkosi, isibili kasiyikubaqalela labo asebelele;

16ngoba iNkosi uqobo izakwehla ivela ezulwini ngesimemezelo sokulawula, ngelizwi lengilosi eyinduna, lango kukhala kophondo lukaNkulunkulu, labafileyo kuKristu bazavuka kuqala;

17kulandele thina esiphilayo esitshiyiweyo, sizahluthunelwa kanye labo emayezini siyehlangabeza iNkosi emoyeni; ngokunjalo besesihlala leNkosi njalonjalo.

18Ngakho duduzanani ngalamazwi.
