4 Ngiyakuyalisisa embikwaNkulunkulu nasembikwaKhristu Jesu, lotawehlulela+ labaphilako nalabafile+ lapho sekabonakala+ futsi sekayiNkhosi eMbusweni,+ ngitsi: 2 Shumayela livi;+ ushumayele ngekutimisela ngetikhatsi letivumako naletimatima; ukhalimele,+ wekhute, uyale ngako konkhe kubeketela nangelikhono lekufundzisa.+ 3 Ngobe kutawufika sikhatsi lapho bangeke bayibeketelele khona imfundziso lephilile,*+ kodvwa ngekuvumelana netifiso tabo, batawutifunela bafundzisi kuze babakitate tindlebe.*+ 4 Batawuyekela kulalela liciniso, bese banaka tindzaba letingemanga. 5 Kodvwa wena hlala usangulukile kuto tonkhe tintfo, ucinisele nakumatima,+ uchubeke ushumayela tindzaba letimnandzi,* futsi uwente kahle umsebenti wakho.+

6 Ngobe sengivele ngitfululwa njengemnikelo walokunatfwako,+ kantsi nesikhatsi sekutsi ngikhululwe+ sesisedvute. 7 Ngikulwile kulwa lokuhle,+ ngilicedzile nelibanga lami,+ futsi ngikugcinile kukholwa. 8 Kusukela nyalo ngigcinelwe umchele wekulunga,+ lowo iNkhosi lengumehluleli lolungile+ letanginika wona kutsi ube ngumvuzo ngalelolanga,+ hhayi mine kuphela kepha nabo bonkhe labakutsandzile kubonakaliswa kwayo.

9 Lwela kutsi ufike kimi masinyane. 10 Ngobe Demasi+ ungishiyile ngenca yekutsi utsandza lelive,* futsi uye eThesalonika, Khresensi yena uye eGalathiya, Thithusi waya eDalmathiya. 11 NguLukha kuphela lonami. Ubokuta naMakho ngobe uyangisita emsebentini lengiwentela Nkulunkulu. 12 Thikhikhusi+ ngimtfumele e-Efesu. 13 Nawuta ubophatsa sembatfo sami lengasishiya eThrowasi kuKhaphusi, uphatse nemiculu, ikakhulukati leyesikhumba.

14 Alekzanda losebenta ngelitfusi wente tintfo letinyenti letimbi kimi. Jehova* utangiphindziselela, kuye ngaloko lakwentile.+ 15 Nawe kufanele umcaphele ngobe wamelana kakhulu nemlayeto wetfu.

16 Ekutivikeleni kwami kwekucala kute lowangisekela, kodvwa bonkhe bangishiya. Shengatsi bangete balandzisa ngaloko. 17 Kepha iNkhosi yema eceleni kwami yanginika emandla, kuze kutsi ngami umsebenti wekushumayela wentiwe ngalokugcwele, nekutsi tonkhe tive titowuva ngawo;+ futsi ngakhululwa emlonyeni welibhubesi.+ 18 INkhosi itangikhulula kuyo yonkhe imisebenti lemibi, ingisindzisele uMbuso wayo wasezulwini.+ Ludvumo aluye kuyo phakadze naphakadze. Amen.

19 Vusela boPhrisila na-Akhwila+ kanye na-Onesiforusi nemndeni wakhe.+

20 Erastusi+ wasala eKhorinte, kodvwa Trofimusi+ ngamshiya agula eMilethusi. 21 Lwela kutsi ufike kusengakabi sebusika.

Ebulusi uyakuvusela, naPhudensi, naLinusi, naKlawudiya kanye nabo bonkhe bazalwane.

22 INkhosi ayibe nawe njengobe ukhombisa umoya lomuhle. Shengatsi umusa wayo lomkhulu ungaba nani.
