1 ¹UPawulos, umpostile—ongaveli ebantwini, ongathunywanga mntu, osuka kuYesu Krestu nakuBawo wethu, owamvusayo kwabafileyo, ²nabazalwana bonke abakunye nam, ndibhalela amabandla aseGalati, ndithi: ³Makube lubabalo kuni noxolo oluvela kuBawo wethu naseNkosini uYesu Krestu, ⁴owazinikela ngenxa yezono zethu, ukuze asihlangule kweli xesha lingendawo likhoyo, ngokuthanda kukaBawo wethu, ⁵makube luzuko kuye ngonaphakade kanaphakade. Amen.

Akukho Vangeli Yimbi

⁶Ndiyamangaliswa kukuba nikhawuleze kangaka ukumshiya lowo wanibizayo ngobabalo lukaKrestu, niye kwivangeli eyahlukileyo. ⁷Ingekho kambe enye ivangeli—kodwa bakho abaniphazamisayo, befuna ukuyijika ivangeli kaKrestu. ⁸Kodwa nokuba singashumayela thina, nokuba sisithunywa esivela ezulwini, ivangeli eyahluke kweyo sanishumayeza yona, makaqalekiswe. ⁹Njengoko satshoyo ngaphambili, ndiphinda ndithi nangoku: ukuba ubani unishumayeza ivangeli eyahluke kweyo nayamkelayo, makaqalekiswe loo mntu.

¹⁰Ndifuna ukuvunywa ngabantu na ngoku, okanye nguBawo wethu? Ndizama ukukholisa abantu na? Ukuba bendisazama ukukholisa abantu, ngebendingenguye umkhonzi kaKrestu.

UBawo Wambiza uPawulos Ngokwakhe

¹¹Kaloku, bazalwana, ndifuna ukuba niyazi: ivangeli endayishumayelayo ayivelanga ebantwini. ¹²Andiyamkelanga mntwini, kwaye andiyifundiswanga, koko ndayizuza ngokutyhilelwa nguYesu Krestu. ¹³Nivile ngendlela endandiziphethe ngayo ngaphambili ebuYudeni—indlela endalitshutshisa ngayo ngochuku ibandla likaBawo wethu, ndizama ukulitshabalalisa. ¹⁴Ndaqhubela phambili ebuYudeni ngaphezu kwabaninzi endandilingana nabo kwisizwe sakowethu, ndinekhwele elikhulu ngenxa yezithethe zoobawo. ¹⁵Kodwa wathi uBawo wethu, lowo wandahlulayo kwasesizalweni sikama, wandibiza ngobabalo lwakhe, akuba ekholisekile, ¹⁶ukuba atyhile uNyana wakhe kum, ukuze ndimvakalise phakathi kweentlanga, andizange ndikhawuleze ndicebisane namntu; ¹⁷andizange nokwenyuka ndiye eJerusalem kubapostile ababengaphambi kwam, koko ndaya kwelama-Arabhi, ndaza ndabuyela eDamasko.

¹⁸Emva koko, sekudlule iminyaka emithathu, ndenyuka ndaya eJerusalem ukuze ndazane noPetros, ndahlala naye iintsuku ezilishumi elinesihlanu. ¹⁹Kodwa khange ndibabone abanye abapostile, ngaphandle koYakobi, umzalwana weNkosi. ²⁰Kule nto ndinibhalela yona, ndiyaqinisekisa phambi koBawo wethu, andixoki. ²¹Emva koko ndaya kwimimandla yelaseSiriya neyelaseKiliki. ²²Ndandingekaziwa ngobuso ngamabandla elakwaYuda akuKrestu. ²³Babesiva kodwa kusithiwa: “Lowo wayekade esitshutshisa, ngoku sele eyishumayela inkolo awayekade efuna ukuyitshabalalisa.” ²⁴Baza bamzukisa uBawo wethu ngenxa yam.
