KuThimothewu 1-4

¹ Kepha uMoya usho ngokucacile ukuthi ngezikhathi zokugcina abanye bayakuhlubuka ekukholweni, benaka omoya abadukisayo nezifundiso zamademoni;

² Ukukhuluma amanga ngokuzenzisa; beshiswe unembeza wabo ngensimbi eshisayo;

³ Benqabela ukuganana, belaya ukuthi bayeke ukudla, uNkulunkulu akudalela ukuthi kwemukelwe ngokubonga yilabo abakholwayo labalaziyo iqiniso.

⁴ Ngoba sonke isidalwa sikaNkulunkulu sihle, kakulahlwa lutho, uba samukelwe ngokubonga;

⁵ Ngoba kungcweliswa ngelizwi likaNkulunkulu langomkhuleko.

⁶ Uma ukhumbuza abazalwane ngalezi zinto, uyakuba yisikhonzi esihle sikaJesu Kristu, esondliwe ngamazwi okukholwa nesifundiso esihle osigcinile.

⁷ Kodwa uyenqaba izinganekwane ezingcolile nezalukazi, futhi uzijwayeze ukumesaba uNkulunkulu.

⁸ Ngokuba ukuqeqesha umzimba kusiza kancane, kepha ukumesaba uNkulunkulu kusiza ezintweni zonke, kunesithembiso salokhukuphila, nalokho okuzayo.

⁹ Likholekile leli zwi, lifanele ukwamukelwa konke.

¹⁰ Ngokuba ngalokho siyakhandleka futhi siyathukwa, ngokuba sithembele kuNkulunkulu ophilayo onguMsindisi wabantu bonke, ikakhulukazi wabakholwayo.

¹¹ Yala lezi zinto ufundise.

¹² Makungabikho-muntu odelela ubusha bakho; kepha yiba yisibonelo kwabakholwayo ngezwi, nangenkambo, nangothando, nangokholo, nangokuhlanzeka.

¹³ Nakekela ukufunda, nokuyala, nokufundisa, ngize ngifike.

¹⁴ Ungasideleli isiphiwo esikuwe, owasiphiwa ngesiprofetho ngokubekwa izandla zabadala.

¹⁵ Zindla ngalezizinto; zinike ngokuphelele kuzo; ukuze ukuqhubeka kwakho kubonakale kubo bonke.

¹⁶ Ziqaphele wena nesifundiso; hlala kuzo, ngokuba ngokwenza lokho uyakuzisindisa wena nabakuzwayo.
