1UPowula obizelwe ekubeni mpostoli kaKrestu Jesu ngokwentando kaZimu kanye nomfowethu uSosithenesi,

2kilo ibandla lakaZimu eKorinte, kilabo abacwengisiweko kuKrestu Jesu bebabizelwa ekucwengeni, bakanye nabo boke abakizo zoke iindawo, ababiza ibizo leKosi uJesu Krestu oyiKosabo neyethu:

3Akube kini umusa nokuthula okuvela kuZimu uBaba neKosini uJesu Krestu.

4Ngihlala ngimthokoza uZimu ngani ngebanga lomusa wakhe eninikelwe wona kuKrestu Jesu,

5ukuze kuthi ezintweni zoke ninjinge ngokwekulumo nangelwazi lenu loke

6ngombana ubufakazi bethu ngoKrestu baqiniswa kini.

7Ngalokho azange nitlhayelelwe ngitjho nangesisodwa isipho sakaMoya ekulindeni kwenu ngokuncama ukubonakaliswa kweKosi uJesu Krestu.

8IKosi izoniqinisa bekube sekupheleni ukuze ningabi nomlandu ngelanga leKosi yethu uJesu Krestu.

9Uthembekile uZimu owanibizela ebudlelwaneni neNdodana yakhe, uJesu Krestu iKosi yethu.

10Ngiyanirabhela bazalwana ngebizo leKosi yethu uJesu Krestu bona noke nivumelane ukuze kungabikhona ukwahlukana phakathi kwenu. Bumbanani ngokupheleleko ngomkhumbulo munye nangombono munye.

11Ngitjho ngombana bazalwana bami, ngibikelwe yindlu kaRhilowesi bona kukhona ukunghwarana phakathi kwenu.

12Kuthiwa omunye nomunye wenu ukhuluma kwakhe uthi: “Mina ngingewakaPowula”, omunye athi: “Mina ngingewaka-Apholo”, omunye athi: “Mina ngingewakaKhefasi”, omunye athi: “Mina ngingewakaKrestu”.

13Kghani uKrestu lo sele ahlukaniswe phakathi na? UPowula wakhe wanifela esiphambanweni? Nabhajadiswa ebizweni lakaPowula na?

14Nanje ngiyamthokoza uZimu ngombana azange ngibhabhadise namunye wenu ngaphandle kwakaKrisposi noGayusi.

15Ngalokho akungabikhona noyedwa ozahle asithi batjho wabhajadiswa ebizweni lami.

16Iye, ngabhabhadisa nomndeni kaStefana, ngaphezu kwalokho-ke angikhumbuli ngibhabhadisana nabanye abantu.

17UKrestu azange angithume bona ngizokubhabhadisa kodwana bona ngitjhumayele ivangeli, ingasi ngamezwi wokuhlakanipha kwabantu ukuze isiphambano sakaKrestu singakghuthulwa amandla waso.

18Umlayezo wesiphambano ubudlhadlha kilabo ababhubhako, kodwana kithi esisindiswako umamandla kaZimu.

19Ngitjho ngombana umtlolo uthi: “Ukuhlakanipha kwezazi ngizokutjhabalalisa, ngidide ukulemuka kwabahlakaniphileko.”

20Alo, siphike-ke isihlakaniphi na? Siphi isazimthetho? Uphi umazizoke walesisikhathi na? UZimu akakenzi ukuhlakanipha kwephaseli kwaba budlhadlha na?

21Njengombana ekuhlakanipheni kwakaZimu, iphasi ngokuhlakanipha kwalo alizange limazi, yeke kwamthabisa uZimu bona kuthi ngobudlhadlha obutjhunyayelwako asindise labo abakholwako.

22AmaJuda afuna iimbonakaliso zemikarisomraro, amaGirigi wona afuna ukuhlakanipha,

23nanyana kunjalo thina sitjhumayela uKrestu abethelwe esiphambanweni; okusiqabo emaJudeni nobudlhadlha kabatjhili,

24kodwana kilabo uZimu ababizileko, abamaJuda namaGirigi, sitjhumayela uKrestu omamandla kaZimu nokuhlakanipha kwakaZimu.

25Ubudlhadlha bakaZimu buhlakaniphile kunokwazi kwabantu nobuthakathaka bakaZimu bunamandla kunamandla wabantu.

26Khumbulani bona beninjani nanibizwako bazalwana. Inengi lenu beningakahlakaniphi ukuya ngokwesilinganiso sabantu; beningasibanengi ebenikwazi ukukhuluma, beningasibanengi ebenibelethelwe ekuhloniphekeni.

27UZimu wakhetha izinto ezibonakala zibudlhadlha emehlweni wephasi ukuhlazisa abahlakaniphileko; uZimu wakhetha izinto zephaseli ezibuthakathaka ukuhlazisa abanamandla.

28Iye, wakhetha lokho okuqalelwa phasi kwephaseli nokunyazekako, wakhetha nalokho okungekho ukuze achithe okukhona.

29Ngalokho-ke akungabikhona noyedwa ozazigqaja phambi kwakhe.

30Kungebanga lakhe kobana nibe kuKrestu Jesu kithi obe kuhlakanipha okuvela kuZimu, okutjho ukulunga kwethu, ukucwenga kanye nokuhlengwa kwethu

31njengombana kutloliwe kwathiwa: “Akuthi loyo ozikhakhazisako, azikhakhazise eKosini.”
