KWAYE kute nxa u‐Apolosi ebeko e‐Korinte, wati u‐Paulusi ecandile izahlulo zasentla, weza e‐Efese: waza efumene kona abadisipile abatile, wati kubo: Namkela UMOYA OYINGCWELE nakukolwa kusinina? Bati bona kuye: Aseva nokuba UMOYA OYINGCWELE uko na. Waza wati kubo: Nabapitizeshelwa kwinto nina pofu? Bati bona: Kulo ubapitizesho luka‐Johane. Wati ke u‐Paulusi: u‐Johane okunene wabapitizesha ngobapitizesho lwoguquko, esiti ebantwini, mabakolwe kulowo ozayo emva kwake, oko kukuti, ku‐Yesu ongu‐Kristu. Bati bakuva oku babapitizeshelwa egameni LENKOSI u‐Yesu. Waza akuba u‐Paulusi ebebekile pezu kwabo izandla zake, weza UMOYA OYINGCWELE pezu kwabo; baza bateta ngezinye inteto, baprofitesha. Abe ke amadoda lawo inani lonke engati alishumi linamabini. Waza wangena endlwini yentlanganiso, wateta ngokukalipa, inyanga zazintatu, epikisa ecenga ngezinto ezingabo ubukumkani BUKATIXO. Kodwa xeshekweni abatile baba lukuni, bengakolwa, beteta kakubi ngendlela leyo ebusweni bomhlambi, wemka kubo, wahlula abadisipile, epikisa imihla ngemihla esikolweni somntu ongu‐Tirano. Kwaye kusenziwa oku iminyaka yamibini, bada bonke ababemi e‐Asiya beva ilizwi LENKOSI u‐Yesu, kwa nama‐Juda nama‐Girike. Kanjako izenzo zamandla ezingenziwa futi wabezenza UTIXO ngezandla zika‐Paulusi; kwada kwasiwa kwabafayo iqiya nezikaka zivela emzimbeni wake, zaza izifo zesuka kubo, nomoya abakohlakeleyo bapuma kubo. Bati kekaloku abatile bakuwo ama‐Juda azincibi zokufungisa ezihambahambayo, balinga ukubiza igama LENKOSI u‐Yesu pezu kwabo babenomoya abakohlakeleyo, besiti: Siyanifungisa u‐Yesu, lowo u‐Paulusi amshumayelayo. Kwabekuko abatile, onyana baka‐Sikeva, um‐Juda, umperisite omkulu, ababekwenza oku. Kodwa wapendula umoya okohlakeleyo wati: u‐Yesu ndiyamazi, no‐Paulusi ndiyamazi kakulu; kodwa nina, ningobanina? Waza umntu abekuye umoya okohlakeleyo watsibela pezu kwabo, wenza ngamandla kubo, waboyisa, bada besaba kuleyondlu bezé belinyaziwe. Lento ke yazeka kubo bonke ababemi e‐Efese, nakuma‐Juda, nakuma‐Girike; kwaza kwawa ukwoyika pezu kwabo bonke, laye igama LENKOSI u‐Yesu belizukiswa. Kanjalo abaninzi babakoliweyo babesiza bevuma betyela izenzo zabo. Bati nento eninzi yabo bazenza izenzo zokunyanga baqokelela incwadi zabo, bazitshisa ebusweni babo bonke: baza babala amanani azo, bafumana ukuba angamaqosha esilivere angamawaka amashumi mahlanu. Bekunjalo lakulayo ilizwi LENKOSI ngamandla, loyisa.
