16Laba batshumayela uKristu ngombango, kungeyisikho ngobuqotho, bethi bangongeza usizi ezibopho zami;
17Kepha abanye ngothando, besazi ukuthi ngimiselwe ukuvikela ivangeli.
18Pho? Nokho uKristu uyashunyayelwa ngezindlela zonke, noma ngokuzenzisa noma ngeqiniso; futhi ngiyathokoza ngakho, yebo, futhi ngiyojabula.
19Ngokuba ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuyakungiphendulela kube yinsindiso ngokukhuleka kwenu nangokusiza kukaMoya kaJesu Kristu,
20Njengokulangazelela kwami nethemba lami, ukuthi angiyikuba namahloni ngalutho, kodwa ukuthi ngaso sonke isibindi, njengalokhu kwenzeka njalo, kanjalo namanje uKristu uyakuphakanyiswa emzimbeni wami, noma kungokuphila noma ngokufa.
21Ngoba kimi ukuphila kunguKristu, futhi ukufa kuyinzuzo.
22Kepha uma ngiphila enyameni, lokhu kuyizithelo zomsebenzi wami;
23Ngokuba ngicindezelekile phakathi kokubili, nginesifiso sokumuka ngiyekuba noKristu; okuyinto engcono kakhulu:
24Kodwa ukuhlala enyameni kuyadingeka kakhulu ngenxa yenu.
25Kepha-ke lokhu nginethemba, ngiyazi ukuthi ngiyakuhlala, ngihlale nani nonke, ukuze niqhubekele phambili nentokozo yokukholwa kwenu;
26ukuze ukuthokoza kwenu kwengezelelwe kuKristu Jesu ngami ngokubuya kwami kini.
27Kuphela ukuhamba kwenu makube njengokufanele ivangeli likaKristu, ukuze kuthi noma ngiza nginibona, noma ngingekho, ngizwe izindaba zenu, ukuthi nime niqinile emoyeni munye, nganhliziyonye nilwela ukukholwa kweNkosi ivangeli;
28ningethuswe ngalutho ngabamelene nani, okuwuphawu lokubhubha kubo, kodwa kinina lwensindiso, nolukaNkulunkulu.
