1UPawuli loTimothi:

4ngezikhathi zonke kuwo wonke umkhuleko wami ngani lonke,

5ngokuhlanganyela kwenu evangelini;

6ngilethemba lakhona lokho, ukuthi owaqalisa;

7njengoba kulungile kimi ukuthi ngikhumbule lokhu ngani lonke, ngoba ngilani enhliziyweni.

8Ngoba uNkulunkulu ungumfakazi wami.

9Njalo ngikhuleka lokhu, ukuthi uthando lwenu,

10ukuze lizivume,

11ligcwaliswe ngezithelo zokulunga lukaNkulunkulu.

12Kodwa ngithanda ukuthi lazi, bazalwane, ukuthi izinto ezangehlelayo zenza kakhulu ukuqhutshelwa phambili kwevangeli;

13zize izibopho esigodlweni sonke lakwabanye bonke,

14labazalwane abanengi eNkosini, beqiniswe ngezibopho zami, sebelesibindi esikhulu sokukhuluma ilizwi ngokungesabi.

15Abanye kambe batshumayela uKristu ngomona langombango, labanye kambe ngenhliziyo enhle;

16laba batshumayela uKristu ngokuphikisana, bengelaqiniso, besithi baletha ukuhlupheka ekubotshweni kwami;

17kodwa labo ngothando, besazi.

18Kuyini pho? Loba kunjalo kuyo yonke indlela, loba ekuzenziseni, kumbe eqinisweni, uKristu uyatshunyayelwa; kulokhu-ke ngiyathokoza, yebo ngizathokoza futhi.

19Ngoba ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuzaphendukela kimi esindisweni ngomkhuleko wenu,

20njengokulindela okukhulu, njengesikhathi sonke, lakhathesi uKristu uzakhuliswa emzimbeni wami, loba ngempilo, kumbe ngokufa.

21Ngoba kimi ukuphila kunguKristu, lokufa kuyinzuzo.

22Kodwa uba ukuphila enyameni kuyisithelo somsebenzi kimi, lengizakukhetha kangikwazi.

23Ngoba ngiminyezelwe ngokubili lokuba loKristu, okungcono kakhulukazi;

24kodwa ukuhlala enyameni kuyasweleka kakhulu ngenxa yenu.

25Njalo ngilalelithemba lentokozweni yokholo,

26ukuze ukuzincoma kwenu ngami kwengezwe kuKristu Jesu kimi, ngobukhona bami kini futhi.

27Kuphela hambani,

28njalo lingethuswa ngalutho ngabaphikisayo; okuyisibonakaliso, njalo lokhu kuvela kuNkulunkulu;

29ngoba lanikwa;
