8Ewe, okunene, ndisuka izinto zonke ndizibalele ekuthini ziyinkxwaleko, ngenxa yokongama kokumazi uKristu Yesu iNkosi yam; endithe ngenxa yakhe ndonakalelwa zezi zinto zonke, ndizibalela ekuthini ziyinkunkuma, ukuze ndimzuze uKristu, 9ndifunyanwe ndikuye, ndingenabo obam ubulungisa, obo basemthethweni; ndinobo bungokukholwa kuKristu, ubulungisa ke obuphuma kuThixo ngalo ukholo; 10ukuba ndimazi, kwanamandla ovuko lwakhe, nokuba ndibe nobudlelane naye ngeentlungu zakhe, ndifaniswe noko kufa kwakhe; 11ukuba ndingáde ndifikelele ekuvukeni kwabafileyo.

12Kungekuko ukuthi sendamkele, nokuthi sendigqibelele; ke ndiphuthuma ukuba ndingakugánga na nokukugánga oko, ndathi nam ndagangelwa khona nguye uKristu Yesu. 13Bazalwana, mna andizibaleli ekuthini ndigángile; ke ndenza nto-nye: ndithi, ndízilibala izinto ezisemva, ndísolulela kweziphambili, 14ndiphuthume ngokoxunele umvuzo wobizo lwaphezulu lukaThixo kuKristu Yesu.

15Ngoko masithi, ngangoko singako thina bagqibeleleyo, sicinge oko; kanjalo ukuba nicinga into ngokukumbi, uThixo wonityhilela naleyo. 16Noko ke, apho sifikelele khona, masihambe ngamgca mnye, masicinge nto-nye.

20Kuba thina ikowethu lisemazulwini, apho kananjalo silinde khona kwauMsindisi, iNkosi uYesu Kristu; 21eya kuwenza kumila kumbi umzimba wokuthobeka kwethu, ukuze wona wenziwe ufane nawo umzimba wozuko lwakhe, ngokokusebenza kwalowo unako ukuzithobela phantsi kwakhe zonke izinto.
