Abasebenzi Abathandekayo Esisebenza Nabo

UTikiko, umzalwana wethu othandekayo, umkhonzi othembekileyo, nekhoboka elikhonza kunye nathi eNkosini, uya kunixelela konke ngam. Ndimthumele kuni ngenxa yale njongo: ukuze nazi iimeko zethu, aze azomeleze iintliziyo zenu, kunye noOnesimo, umzalwana othembekileyo nothandekayo, ongomnye wenu. Baya kunixelela zonke izinto ezilapha.

UAristako, osentolongweni kunye nam, noMarko, umzala kaBharnabas, bayanibulisa—namkele imiyalelo ngaye: mamkeleni xa esiza kuni, noYesu, ekuthiwa nguYusto—kuphela kwamaYuda phakathi kwabasebenzi ekunye nam bobukumkani bukaBawo wethu; bona bandithuthuzele.

UEpafra, ongomnye wenu, umkhonzi kaKrestu uYesu, uyanibulisa, esoloko ezabalazela nina ekuthandazeni, ukuze nime nigqibelele niqinisekile ngokupheleleyo kuko konke akuthandayo uBawo wethu. Ndingangqina ukuba usebenze nzima ngenxa yenu, nangenxa yabo baseLawodikeya, naseHiyerapoli. ULuka, ugqirha othandekayo, uyanibulisa, kwanoDema.

Bulisani abazalwana abaseLawodikeya, noNimfa nebandla elisendlwini yakhe. Xa le ncwadi ithe yaleswa phakathi kwenu, yenzani ukuba ileswe nasebandleni laseLawodikeya, nani niyilese nale ivela eLawodikeya. Nimxelele uArkipo, nithi: “Qiniseka ukuba uyaluzalisekisa ulungiselelo owalwamkelayo eNkosini.”
