1 Njengoba uKristu wasihluphekela ^a enyameni ^b, hlomani ^c lani ngengqondo efananayo ^d, ngoba ohlupheke enyameni ^e, useyekele isono ^f, 2 ukuze isikhathi esiseleyo enyameni lingabe lisaphilela ^{g
,} ^h inkanuko zabantu ⁱ, kodwa intando kaNkulunkulu ^j. 3 Ngoba kwanele kithi ^k ukuthi isikhathi sempilo esedlulileyo siqhube intando yabezizwe ^{l
,} ^m, lapho sasihamba emanyaleni ⁿ, ezinkanukweni, ekudakweni ^o, ekuminzeni, ekunatheni, lekukhonzeni izithombe okuyangisayo ^{p
,} ^q; 4 abamangala kukho ^r, nxa lingagijimi ndawonye kulokhukuthululeka kwamanyala, belihlambaza ^s; 5 abazaziphendulela ^t kulowo olungele ukwahlulela abaphilayo labafileyo ^u. 6 Ngoba ngenxa yalokhu ivangeli latshunyayelwa lakwabafileyo ^v, ukuze bahlulelwe ngokwabantu enyameni ^w, kodwa baphile ngokukaNkulunkulu emoyeni ^x.

7 Kodwa ukuphela kwezinto zonke sekusondele ^y; ngakho qondani ^z lilinde ^aa lisemikhulekweni ^ab; 8 kodwa phambi kwakho konke banini ^ac lothando oluvuthayo omunye komunye ^ad, ngoba ^ae uthando luzasibekela inkithinkithi yezono ^af; 9 phathanani kuhle ekwethekelaneni ^ag, ngaphandle kokusola ^ah; 10 ngulowo lalowo ^ai njengesiphiwo asemukeleyo ^aj, kasisebenze omunye komunye, njengabaphathi abalungileyo ^ak bomusa kaNkulunkulu ozinhlobonhlobo ^al; 11 uba umuntu ekhuluma ^am, kakhulume njengamazwi kaNkulunkulu ^an; uba umuntu esebenza ^ao, kasebenze njengokuvela emandleni uNkulunkulu awanikayo ^ap; ukuze uNkulunkulu adunyiswe kuzo zonke izinto ^aq ngoJesu Kristu ^ar, okukuye ^as ubukhosi ^at lamandla kuze kube nini lanini ^au. Ameni.

Ukuhlanganyela inhlupheko zikaKristu

12 Bathandekayo, lingamangali ^av ngesilingo esitshisayo ^aw esiphezu kwenu esilihlolayo, ngokungathi lehlelwe yinto engaziwayo; 13 kodwa njengoba lihlanganyela inhlupheko zikaKristu, thokozani ^{ax
,} ^ay, ukuze kuthi lekwembulweni kwenkazimulo yakhe ^az lithokoze lijabule kakhulu. 14 Uba lithukwa ^ba ngenxa yebizo likaKristu ^bb, libusisiwe ^{bc
,} ^bd; ngoba uMoya wenkazimulo lokaNkulunkulu uhlezi phezu kwenu; ngabo-ke ^be uyathukwa ^bf, kodwa ngani uyadunyiswa ^bg. 15 Kodwa kakungabi khona owakini ohlupheka njengombulali ^bh, loba isela, loba umenzi wokubi ^bi, loba njengozigaxa endabeni zabanye ^bj; 16 kodwa uba ehlupheka njengomKristu, kangabi lanhloni ^bk, kodwa kadumise uNkulunkulu ^bl ngenxa yalokhu ^bm. 17 Ngoba sekuyisikhathi sokuthi ukwahlulela kuqale ^bn endlini kaNkulunkulu ^bo; njalo uba kuqala kithi ^bp, kuzakuba yini ukuphela kwalabo abangalalelanga ivangeli likaNkulunkulu? ^bq 18 Uba-ke olungileyo esindiswa ngobulukhuni ^br, oweyisa uNkulunkulu ^bs lesoni uzabonakala ngaphi? ^bt 19 Ngakho-ke labo abahluphekayo ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu ^bu, njengakuMdali othembekileyo kabanikele eyabo imiphefumulo ekwenzeni okuhle ^bv.
