UPawulu ubayala ukuba bangcweliswe, bayeke ubufebe, bathandanise okwabazalwane
1 Elokugcina-ke, bazalwane, siyaninxusa, siyaniyala ngeNkosi uJesu ukuba njengalokho nakwamukela kithi ukuthi nifanele ukuhamba nokumthokozisa kanjani uNkulunkulu, njengalokho nihamba kanjalo, manivame kakhulu kulokho. 2Ngokuba niyayazi imiyalo esaninika yona ngayo iNkosi uJesu.
3 Ngokuba lokhu kuyintando kaNkulunkulu, ukungcweliswa kwenu, ukuba nidede ebufebeni 4 ukuba yilowo nalowo kini akwazi ukuhlala nomkakhe ngobungcwele nangokuhlonipha, 5 kungabi ngokushisa kwenkanuko njengabezizwe abangamazi uNkulunkulu 6ukuba kungabikho noyedwa omonayo, aphambe umfowabo ngento, ngokuba iNkosi ingumphindiseli kukho konke lokho, njengokuba sanitshela phambili, saqinisa. 7 Ngokuba uNkulunkulu kasibizelanga amanyala, kepha wasibizela ebungcweleni. 8 Ngakho-ke owalayo akali umuntu, kepha wala uNkulunkulu, yena oninika uMoya wakhe oNgcwele.
9 Kepha maqondana nothando lobuzalwane anisweli ukuba umuntu anilobele, ngokuba nina uqobo ningabafundisiwe nguNkulunkulu ukuba nithandane; 10 nempela niyakwenza lokho kubo bonke abazalwane abaseMakedoniya lonke. Kepha siyaniyala, bazalwane, ukuba nivame nokuvama kulokho, 11 nikhuthalele ukuhlala ngokuthula, nokwenza okwenu, nokusebenza ngezandla zenu, njengokuba saniyala, 12 ukuze nihambe ngokufaneleyo kwabangaphandle, ningasweli lutho.
Ukuvuka kwabafileyo
13 Kepha asithandi, bazalwane, ukuba ningabi nakwazi ngabalalayo, ukuze ningadabuki njengabanye abangenalo ithemba. 14 Ngokuba uma sikholwa ukuthi uJesu wafa, wavuka, ngokunjalo-ke uNkulunkulu uyakubaletha nabaleleyo kuJesu kanye naye. 15 Ngokuba lokho sikusho kini ngezwi leNkosi ukuthi thina, esisekhona sisasele kuze kube sekufikeni kweNkosi, asiyikubandulela nempela abaleleyo, 16 ngokuba iNkosi uqobo iyakwehla ezulwini ngezwi lenhlokomo, ngephimbo lengelosi enkulu nangecilongo likaNkulunkulu, nabafileyo kuKristu bayakuvuka kuqala, 17 khona thina, esisekhona sisasele siyakuhlwithwa kanye nabo emafwini, sihlangabeze iNkosi emoyeni; kanjalo-ke siyakuba nayo iNkosi njalo. 18Ngakho-ke duduzanani ngalawo mazwi.
