22 Yikho wathuma abancedisi bakhe ababili, uThimothi+ lo-Erastu+ ukuthi baye eMakhedoniya. Kodwa yena wasala okwesikhathi esithile esabelweni se-Asiya.

21 UThimothi osebenza lami, lezihlobo zami+ uLukhiyu, loJasoni, loSosiphatha bayalibingelela.

17 Yikho ngithuma uThimothi kini ngoba ungumntanami engimthandayo othembekileyo eNkosini. Uzalikhumbuza indlela engizenza ngayo izinto* enkonzweni kaKhristu uJesu+ njengoba nje ngifundisa emabandleni wonke kuzo zonke indawo.

2 Sathuma uThimothi+ umfowethu oyisikhonzi sikaNkulunkulu* sezindaba ezinhle eziphathelane loKhristu ukuthi azoliqinisa futhi aliduduze ukuze ukholo lwenu luqine,

2 kuwe Thimothi*+ umntwana oqotho+ ekukholweni:

Umusa omkhulu lesihawu lokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba laseNkosini yethu uKhristu uJesu akube kuwe.
