1uPawulos, umpostile kaYesu Kristu ngokuthanda kukaThixo, ubhalela abangcwele abase-Efese, abakholwayo kuKristu Yesu;

2Makube lubabalo kuni, noxolo oluvela kuThixo uBawo wethu, neNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu.

3Makabongwe uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, osibabale ngazo zonke iintsikelelo zoMoya kwezasemazulwini iindawo, sikuKristu;

4njengokuba wathi, ngaphambi kokusekwa kwehlabathi, wasinyulela kuye, ukuba sibe ngcwele, singabi nakusoleka phambi kwakhe;

5ethe ngenxa engaphambili wasimisela ngenxa engaphambili ukuba senziwe oonyana ngoYesu Kristu kuye ngokwakhe, ngokwenkolelo yokuthanda kwakhe;

6Ngenxa yozuko lobabalo lwakhe, awasibabala ngalo sikuye othandiweyo;

7esinayo sikuye inkululeko ngokuhlawulelwa ngegazi lakhe, uxolelo lwezono, ngokobutyebi bobabalo lwakhe;

8Uye waphuphumela kuthi kubo bonke ubulumko nokuqonda;

9esazisile ke imfihlelo yokuthanda kwakhe, ngokokuthanda kwakhe, awamisa ngako ngokwakhe;

10ukuze ngexesha lokuzaliseka kwamaxesha, azihlanganisele zonke izinto kuye uKristu, ezisemazulwini kwanezisemhlabeni; nakuye:

11Esathi kuye nathi sazuza ilifa, simiselwe ngenxa engaphambili ngokwengqibo yozisebenzayo zonke ezo nto ngokwecebo lokuthanda kwakhe;

12ukuze sibe ngabokudumisa uzuko lwakhe, thina aba sathembela kuKristu kuqala;

13enithe nakholwa kuye nani, emveni kokuliva kwenu ilizwi lenyaniso, iindaba ezilungileyo zosindiso lwenu; enathi, nakholwa kuye, natywinwa natywinwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele wedinga;

14osisinyaniso selifa lethu, ukude kugqibelele ukukhululeka ngentlawulelo kwabo baziinqobo kuye, ukuba kudunyiswe uzuko lwakhe.

15Ngoko ke, ndakuba ndivile ngokholo eninalo kwiNkosi uYesu, nangothando eninalo kubo bonke abangcwele.

16Andiphezi ukubulela ngenxa yenu, xa ndinikhumbula emithandazweni yam;

17ukuze uThixo weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, uYise wozuko, aninike umoya wobulumko wokunityhilela, nimazi kakuhle;

18Akhanyiselwe amehlo engqondo yakho; ukuze nilazi ithemba lobizo lwakhe, nento obuyiyo ubutyebi bozuko lwelifa lakhe phakathi kwabangcwele;

19nokuba buyintoni na ubukhulu bamandla akhe kuthi bakholwayo, ngokokusebenza kwamandla akhe amakhulu;

20awayenzayo ekuKristu, ekumvuseni kwabafileyo, wammisa ngasekunene kwakhe kwezasezulwini iindawo;

21ngaphezu kwabo bonke ubulawuli, negunya, namandla, nobukhosi, nalo lonke igama elibizwayo, kungabi kweli hlabathi lodwa, kwanakwelo lizayo;

22Waza izinto zonke wazithobela phantsi kweenyawo zakhe, wammisa ukuba abe yintloko yezinto zonke kulo ibandla.

23Lingumzimba wakhe ke lowo, ozalise konke ngako konke.
