1Kuba ndithanda ukuba nikwazi ukuba kukhulu kwako ukuzama endikuzamayo ngenxa yenu, nabo baseLawodike, nabo bonke abangabubonanga ubuso bam ngokwenyama;

2ukuze zithuthuzeleke iintliziyo zabo, bebandakanywe ngothando, kuse kubo bonke ubutyebi benzaliseko yokuqonda, kuse ekwazini imfihlelo engcwele kaThixo, nekaYise, nekaKristu;

3efihlwe kuye bonke ubutyebi bobulumko nobokwazi.

4Nditsho ke, ukuze kungabikho bani unilukuhlayo ngentetho egudileyo.

5Kuba nangona ndingekhoyo ngenyama, khona ngomoya ndinani, ndivuya, ndibona ulungelelwano lwenu, nokuzimaseka kokukholwa kwenu kuKristu.

6Njengokuba ngoko namamkelayo uKristu Yesu iNkosi, hambani kuye;

7Nndele nakhelwe kuye, naqiniswa elukholweni njengoko nafundiswayo nafezeka kulo ngumbulelo.

8Lumkani, kungabikho bani unithimbayo ngayo intanda-bulumko, nangokulukuhla okungento yanto, ngokwesithethe sabantu, ngokweziqalelo zehlabathi, kungengokukaKristu.

9Kuba kuhleli kuye konke ukuzaliseka kobuThixo ngokomzimba;

10nigqibelele kuye, oyintloko yabo bonke ubulawuli negunya;

11Nathi kuye naluswa nokwaluswa ngolwaluko olungenakwenziwa ngazandla, ngako ukuhluba umzimba wenyama, ngalo ulwaluko lukaKristu;

12ningcwatywe naye elubhaptizweni; enathi nikuye, navuswa nokuvuswa naye, ngokukholwa kwenu kukusebenza kukaThixo, owamvusa kubo abafileyo.

13Nani, nifile nje ziziphoso nakukungaluki kwenyama yenu, unidlise ubomi ndawonye naye, enixolele zonke iziphoso.

14Wawucima umbhalo wemithetho ochasene nathi, owawuchasene nathi, wasisusa ngokuwubethelela emnqamlezweni;

15ebabhunyule ozilawuli noomagunya, wabenza isibonelo ekuhleni, ememelela ngabo ekuwo kuyo.

16Makungabikho mntu ngoko unigwebayo ngento edliwayo, nangento eselwayo, nangendawo yomthendeleko, nangenyanga ethwasileyo, nangeesabatha;

17Ezi sisithunzi sezinto ezizayo; ke wona umzimba ngokaKristu.

18Makungabikho namnye unilukuhlayo emvuzweni wenu, ngokuqhutywa yintliziyo ethobekileyo, enqula izithunywa zezulu, egxuphuleka kwizinto angazibonanga, ephuthunyiswe enyameni yakhe,

19engabambe yona iNtloko, ekuphuma kuyo ukuthi umzimba wonke ukhule ngokukhulisa kukaThixo, uncedwa, ubandakanywa ngako konke ukuxhomekelelana kwamalungu nemisipha.

20Ngoko ke, ukuba nifile noKristu, niphuma kuzo iziqalelo zehlabathi, yini na ukuba niyithobele imimiselo, ningathi niphila kweli hlabathi?

21(Musani ukuphatha, musa ukungcamla, musa ukuphatha;

22ezize zonke zitshabalale) ngenxa yemithetho neemfundiso zabantu?

23Okunene zizinto ezo ezidunyelwe bubulumko ngokunqula okuzithandelayo, nangokuthobeka kwentliziyo, nokulahla umzimba; kungengambeko yanelisa inyama.
