Imiyalelo kumakhoboka, emva koko umfanekiso wabafundisi abaphatha unqulo njengendlela yokuzuza inzuzo. Ukwanela yinzuzo yokwenene, ukunxanela imali kuhlabe abanye ngaphakathi. UPawulos umyalela uTimoti ukuba alwe idabi elihle, aze axelele izityebi ukuba zithembele kuBawo wethu endaweni yobutyebi.
6 1Bonke abaphantsi kwedyokhwe yobukhoboka mababazi iinkosi zabo njengezifanele imbeko epheleleyo, ukuze igama likaBawo wethu nemfundiso ingatshabhiswa. 2Abo baneenkosi ezingamakholwa mabangazideli ngenxa yokuba zingabazalwana; mabazikhonze ngcono, ekubeni abo bazuzayo bengamakholwa, abathandekayo kakhulu.
