1uPawulos, umkhonzi kaYesu Kristu, owabizwayo ukuba abe ngumpostile, owahlulelwa iindaba ezilungileyo zikaThixo,

2(awathi ngedinga ngenxa engaphambili ngabo abaprofeti bakhe ezibhalweni ezingcwele),

3ethetha ngoNyana wakhe, uYesu Krestu iNkosi yethu, owazalwa engowembewu kaDavide ngokwenyama;

4wamiswa ukuba unguNyana kaThixo, enamandla, ngokomoya wobungcwele, ngokuvuka kwabafileyo;

5Esathi ngaye samkela ubabalo nobupostile, ukuze ngenxa yegama lakhe kubekho ukulululamela ukholo phakathi kwazo zonke iintlanga;

6eniphakathi kwabo nani, ababiziweyo bakaYesu Kristu;

7ubhalela bonke abaseRoma, abaziintanda zikaThixo, abangcwele ababiziweyo, esithi, Makube lubabalo kuni, noxolo oluvela kuThixo uBawo wethu, neNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu.

8Kuqala ke, ndiyabulela kuThixo wam ngoYesu Kristu ngenxa yenu nonke, kuba ukholo lwenu luxelwa ehlabathini liphela.

9Kaloku ulingqina lam uThixo, endimkhonzayo ngomoya wam kwiindaba ezilungileyo zoNyana wakhe, okokuba andiyeki ukunikhankanya;

10ndihlala ndikhunga, ukuba ndingade ngoku ndibe nempumelelo, ndize kuni nangakuphi, ngako ukuthanda kukaThixo.

11Kuba ndilangazelela ukunibona, ukuze ndinabele sibabalo sithile sisesomoya, ukuze nizimaseke;

12oko ke kukuze ndivuseleleke nam phakathi kwenu, ngalo ukholo olukuthi sobabini, ngolwenu kwanangolwam.

13Ke andithandi ukuba ningazi, bazalwana, ukuba kufuthi ndizimisela entliziyweni yam ukuza kuni (ndathintelwa kwada kwanamhla), ukuze ndibe nasiqhamo sithile naphakathi kwenu, kwanjengaphakathi kwezinye iintlanga.

14KumaGrike kwanakumabharbhari, ndimelwe kukushumayela, kwakwizilumko kwanakwabaswele ukuqonda.

15Ngoko ke ndingxamele ukuzishumayela iindaba ezimnandi nakuni baseRoma.

16Kaloku andinazintloni ngazo iindaba ezimnandi zikaKrestu, kuba zingamandla kaThixo okusindisa bonke abakholwayo, kumYuda kuqala, kwanakumGrike.

17Kuba ngazo kutyhilwa ubulungisa bukaThixo, buphuma elukholweni buse elukholweni, njengokuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Olilungisa ke uya kudla ubomi ngokokholo.

18Kuba ityhilekile ingqumbo kaThixo ivela emazulwini, ichase konke ukungahloneli Thixo, nentswela-bulungisa yabantu, abayithintelayo inyaniso ngokuswela ukulungisa.

19Ngokuba oko kwazekayo ngoThixo kuyabonakala ngaphakathi kwabo; ngokuba uThixo wabonakalalisa kubo.

20Kuba kwasekudalweni kwehlabathi, iindawo zakhe ezibe zingenakubonwa zibonwa kakuhle, ziqondeke, ngezinto ezenziweyo, kwa-amandla akhe angunaphakade, nobuThixo bakhe, ukuze bangabi nakuziphendulela;

21Ngenxa enokuba bathe, bemazi uThixo, abamzukisa ngokoThixo, ababulela kuye; basuka bazizinto ezingento ezicamangweni zabo, yaza intliziyo yabo engenakuqonda yenziwa yamnyama;

22bathi besiba bazizilumko, besuka baba ziziyatha;

23baza ubuqaqawuli bukaThixo ongenakonakala babananisela intsobi yomfanekiselo womntu onokonakala, noweentaka, nowezinto ezizitho zine, nowezinambuzane.

24Kungoko athe, besezinkanukweni zeentliziyo zabo, uThixo wabanikela nokubanikela ekungcoleni, ukuba bahlazisane ngemizimba yabo;

25bona bananisele ubuxoki inyaniso kaThixo, basihlonela basikhonza isidalwa, begqitha kuMdali, ongowokubongwa kuse kuwo amaphakade. Amen.

26Ngenxa yoko, uThixo wabanikela ekuthabathekeni okulihlazo; kuba namankazana abo umsebenzi wasemvelweni awananisela okunxamnye nemvelo;

27Kwaza kwangokunjalo ke namadoda, ewushiya umsebenzi wenkazana wasemvelweni, avutha ngokukhanukana kwawo; amadoda esenza okuziintloni kumadoda, ezamkelela umbuyekezo wokulahleka kwawo, abemelwe ke nguwo.

28Njengokuba ke bekumangele ukuhlala bemazi kakuhle uThixo, uThixo wabanikela engqiqweni engacikidekileyo, ukuba benze izinto ezingafanelekileyo;

29bezele yiyo yonke intswela-bulungisa, okungendawo, ukubawa, ulunya; kuzele ngumona, ukubulala, iimpikiswano, inkohliso, ubutshijolo; abahlebezi,

30abahlebi, abathiyekileyo kuThixo, abasileyo, abanekratshi, abaqhankqalazi, abacebi bezinto ezimbi, abangeva bazali;

31bangenakuqonda, bagqithise iminqophiso, bangenamhawu, abangenatarhu, abangenanceba;

32bona bathi, besazi kakuhle isimiselo sikaThixo, sokuba abo bazenzayo izinto ezinjalo bafanelwe kukufa, banganeli kukuzenza, basuka bathakazelele nabo bazenzayo.
