Kwabase-Efese 1:1-15 CXB24

uPawulos, umpostile kaYesu Kristu ngokuthanda kukaThixo, ubhalela abangcwele abase-Efese, abakholwayo kuKristu Yesu; Makube lubabalo kuni, noxolo oluvela kuThixo uBawo wethu, neNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu. Makabongwe uThixo, uYise weNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, osibabale ngazo zonke iintsikelelo zoMoya kwezasemazulwini iindawo, sikuKristu; njengokuba wathi, ngaphambi kokusekwa kwehlabathi, wasinyulela kuye, ukuba sibe ngcwele, singabi nakusoleka phambi kwakhe; ethe ngenxa engaphambili wasimisela ngenxa engaphambili ukuba senziwe oonyana ngoYesu Kristu kuye ngokwakhe, ngokwenkolelo yokuthanda kwakhe; Ngenxa yozuko lobabalo lwakhe, awasibabala ngalo sikuye othandiweyo; esinayo sikuye inkululeko ngokuhlawulelwa ngegazi lakhe, uxolelo lwezono, ngokobutyebi bobabalo lwakhe; Uye waphuphumela kuthi kubo bonke ubulumko nokuqonda; esazisile ke imfihlelo yokuthanda kwakhe, ngokokuthanda kwakhe, awamisa ngako ngokwakhe; ukuze ngexesha lokuzaliseka kwamaxesha, azihlanganisele zonke izinto kuye uKristu, ezisemazulwini kwanezisemhlabeni; nakuye: Esathi kuye nathi sazuza ilifa, simiselwe ngenxa engaphambili ngokwengqibo yozisebenzayo zonke ezo nto ngokwecebo lokuthanda kwakhe; ukuze sibe ngabokudumisa uzuko lwakhe, thina aba sathembela kuKristu kuqala; enithe nakholwa kuye nani, emveni kokuliva kwenu ilizwi lenyaniso, iindaba ezilungileyo zosindiso lwenu; enathi, nakholwa kuye, natywinwa natywinwa nguMoya oyiNgcwele wedinga; osisinyaniso selifa lethu, ukude kugqibelele ukukhululeka ngentlawulelo kwabo baziinqobo kuye, ukuba kudunyiswe uzuko lwakhe. Ngoko ke, ndakuba ndivile ngokholo eninalo kwiNkosi uYesu, nangothando eninalo kubo bonke abangcwele.
