1Angisiye umphostoli na? angikhululekile na? Angimbonanga uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu na? Nina anisiwo umsebenzi wami eNkosini na?
2Uma ngingesiye umphostoli kwabanye, nokho kinina nginguye, ngokuba uphawu lobuphostoli bami eNkosini yinina.
3Impendulo yami kwabangihlolayo yilena,
4Asinawo amandla okudla nokuphuza na?
5Asinagunya lokuhamba nodadewenu, umkakho, nabanye abaphostoli, nabafowabo beNkosi, noKhefase?
6Kumbe yimina kuphela loBarnabasi esilamandla okuyekela ukusebenza?
7Ngubani ophuma impi ngezindleko zakhe na? Ngubani otshala isivini, angadli izithelo zaso, na? Ngubani owalusa umhlambi, angadli ubisi lomhlambi, na?
8Lezizinto ngizitsho njengomuntu yini? Nomthetho awusho okufanayo na?
9Ngokuba kulotshiwe emthethweni kaMose ukuthi: “Ungayifaki isifonyo inkabi lapho ibhula amabele. UNkulunkulu uyazinakekela izinkabi na?
10Kumbe kambe ukutsho ngenxa yethu? Lokhu kulotshiwe ngenxa yethu ukuthi: Olimayo kufanele alime enethemba; nokuthi obhulayo enethemba kufanele ahlanganyele ethembeni lakhe.
11Uma thina sihlwanyele kini okomoya, kuyinto enkulu yini uma sizovuna okwenu okwenyama na?
12Uma abanye belamandla phezu kwenu, kasibi njalo thina kakhulu? Nokho asiwasebenzisanga lawo mandla; kodwa ubekezele ngakho konke, ukuze singalithiyi ivangeli likaKristu.
13Anazi yini ukuthi abakhonza izinto ezingcwele badla okwethempeli na? nabakhonza e-altare bahlanganyela ne-altare na?
14Ngokunjalo iNkosi ilayile ukuthi abatshumayela ivangeli baphile ngevangeli.
15Kepha mina angisebenzisanga nokukodwa kwalezo zinto, futhi angikulobanga lezizinto ukuba kwenziwe kanjalo kimi, ngokuba kungaba ngcono kimi ukuba ngife kunokuba umuntu enze ize ukuziqhayisa kwami.
16Ngokuba noma ngishumayela ivangeli, anginakuzibonga, ngokuba kube yimpoqo phezu kwami; yebo, maye kimi uma ngingalishumayeli ivangeli!
17Ngokuba uma ngikwenza lokho ngokuzithandela, nginomvuzo;
18Uyini-ke umvuzo wami? Yebo, ukuze nxa ngishumayela ivangeli, ngenze ivangeli likaKristu libe ngeze, ukuze ngingasebenzisi amandla ami evangelini.
19Ngokuba noma ngikhululekile kubo bonke, nokho ngizenze isigqila sabo bonke, ukuze ngizuze abaningi.
20KumaJuda ngaba njengomJuda, ukuze ngizuze abaJuda; kwabaphansi komthetho ngaba njengophansi komthetho, ukuze ngizuze abaphansi komthetho;
21Kwabangenamthetho ngaba njengongenamthetho (ngingesiye ongenamthetho kuNkulunkulu kodwa ngiphansi komthetho kaKristu), ukuze ngizuze abangenamthetho.
22Kwababuthakathaka ngaba njengobuthakathaka, ukuze ngizuze ababuthakathaka;
23Lokho ngikwenza ngenxa yevangeli, ukuze nami ngibe nomhlanganyeli kulo.
24Anazi yini ukuthi abagijima ngokuncintisana bagijima bonke, kepha munye owamukela umklomelo? Gijimani kanjalo, ukuze nizuze.
25Labo bonke abancintisayo bayazithiba ezintweni zonke. Manje bakwenzela ukuthola umqhele owonakalayo; kodwa thina esingaboliyo.
26Ngakho-ke mina ngigijima ngokunjalo, kungenjengokungaqondi; ngilwa kanjalo, kungenjengalowo oshaya umoya;
27Kepha ngiyawutuba umzimba wami, ngiwenza isigqila, funa kuthi, nxa sengishumayele kwabanye, mina ngokwami ngilahlwe.
