Nami-ke ngiyaqiniseka ngani, bazalwane bami, ukuthi nani nigcwele ukulunga, nigcwaliswe ngokwazi konke, ninamandla futhi nokuyalana.
Nokho, bazalwane, nginilobele ngesibindi esikhulu ngandlela-thile, kungathi ngiyanikhumbuza, ngenxa yomusa engiwuphiweyo nguNkulunkulu;
ukuze ngibe yisikhonzi sikaJesu Kristu kwabezizwe, ngikhonze ivangeli likaNkulunkulu, ukuze umnikelo kwabezizwe wamukeleke, ungcwelisiwe ngoMoya oNgcwele.
Ngakho nginokuzibonga ngoKristu Jesu ezintweni ezikaNkulunkulu.
Ngoba kangiyikuba lesibindi sokukhuluma laluthouluthouluthouluthouKristu angasebenzangangami, ukuthi enze abezizwe balalele, ngelizwi langesenzo;
ngezibonakaliso zamandla lezimangaliso, ngamandla kaMoya kaNkulunkulu; kangangokuthi kusukela eJerusalema nangazungeza kuze kufike e-Iliriku ngishumayele ngokugcwele ivangeli likaKristu.
Yebo, ngokunjalo ngazama ukushumayela ivangeli, kungeyisikho lapho uKristu abizwa khona, ukuze ngingakhi phezu kwesisekelo somunye;
Kodwa kunjengokulotshiweyo ukuthi: Lalabo okungakhulunywanga ngabo, bazabona, labangazwanga bazaqedisisa.
Kungakho-ke ngabanjelwa kakhulu ukuza kini.
Kodwa manje sengingasenayo indawo kulezo zindawo, futhi sekuyiminyaka eminingi ngifisa kakhulu ukuza kini;
Njalo nxa ngizakuya eSpaniya, ngizakuza kini;
Kepha manje ngiya eJerusalema ngiyokhonza abangcwele.
Ngokuba kwaba kuhle kwabaseMakedoniya nabase-Akhaya ukunikela okuthile kwabampofu abangcwele baseJerusalema.
Kubathokozisile impela; futhi banecala kubo. Ngokuba uma abezizwe behlanganyela nabo ezintweni zabo zokomoya, kungumsebenzi wabo nokubakhonza ezintweni zenyama.
Ngakho nxa sengikufezile lokho, sengibaphawulele lesi sithelo, ngizakudlula ngakini ngiye eSpaniya.
Kodwa ngiyazi ukuthi nxa ngiza kini, ngizakuza ngilesibusiso esigcweleyo sevangeli likaKristu.
Kepha ngiyanincenga, bazalwane, ngenxa yeNkosi uJesu Kristu, nangenxa yothando lukaMoya, ukuba nikhuthale kanye nami emikhulekweni yenu kuNkulunkulu ngenxa yami;
ukuze ngikhululwe kwabangakholwayo eJudiya; nokuba inkonzo yami engiseJerusalema yamukelwe ngabangcwele;
ukuze ngize kini ngentokozo ngentando kaNkulunkulu, ngiqabuleke kanye nani.
UNkulunkulu wokuthula makabe nani nonke. Amen.
