2 ¹Emva kweminyaka elishumi elinane ndabuya ndenyuka ndaya eYerusalem noBharnabha, ndathabatha noTito. ²Ndenyuka ngesityhilelo, ndaza ndabeka phambi kwabo ivangeli endiyishumayelayo phakathi kweentlanga—ngasese, kwabo kuthiwa ngabakhulu—ukuze ndingagidimi, okanye ndingabi ndagidima ngelize. ³Kodwa nkqu noTito, owayenam, nangona engumGrike, akanyanzelwanga ukuba aluswe. ⁴Oku kwabangwa ngabazalwana bobuxoki, ababeziswe ngasese, abanyenyela ngaphakathi ukuze bayihlole inkululeko esinayo kuKrestu uYesu, benenjongo yokusikhonzisa. ⁵Asizange sivume kubo nangephanyazo, ukuze inyaniso yevangeli ihlale kuni. ⁶Ke bona abo kuthiwa ngabakhulu—nokuba babeyintoni na, oko akundihluphi; uBawo wethu akakhethi buso—abo kuthiwa ngabakhulu abongezanga nto kum. ⁷Endaweni yoko, babona ukuba ndandiphathiswe ivangeli yabangalukanga, njengoko uPetros wayephathiswe eyabalukileyo. ⁸Kuba lowo wasebenzayo kuPetros ukuze abe ngumpostile kwabalukileyo, wasebenza nakum ngenxa yeentlanga. ⁹Bakubona ubabalo endabalwa lona, ooYakobi, uPetros, noYohane—ababebalwa njengeentsika—basinika mna noBharnabha isandla sokunene sobudlelane: ukuba thina siye kweentlanga, bona baye kwabalukileyo. ¹⁰Bacela into enye kuphela, ukuba sikhumbule amahlwempu—kanye loo nto endandiyingxamele ukuyenza.

¹¹Kodwa xa uPetros efika eAntiyokwe, ndamchasa ebusweni bakhe, kuba wayeselegwetyiwe. ¹²Phambi kokuba kufike amadoda athile evela kuYakobi, wayedla neentlanga; kodwa bakufika, wemka wazahlula, esoyika abo bolwaluko. ^a a v12 “Abo bolwaluko” — amaKrestu angamaYuda awayegxininisa ukuba amakholwa eentlanga kufuneka aluswe ukuze amkeleke ngokupheleleyo. ¹³Amanye amaYuda azibandakanya naye kobu buhanahanisi, kangangokuba noBharnabha warhuqwa buhanahanisi babo. ¹⁴Kodwa ndakubona ukuba abahambi ngokuthe tye ngokwenyaniso yevangeli, ndathi kuPetros phambi kwabo bonke: “Ukuba wena, ungumYuda, uphila njengeentlanga, kungekhona njengomYuda, unganyanzela njani iintlanga ukuba ziphile njengamaYuda?”

¹⁵Thina ngokwethu singamaYuda ngokuzalwa, singengaboni beentlanga, ¹⁶kodwa siyazi ukuba umntu akenziwa lilungisa kuThixo ngemisebenzi yomthetho, koko ngokholo kuYesu Krestu. Nathi sakholwa kuKrestu uYesu, ukuze senziwe amalungisa ngokholo kuKrestu, kungekhona ngemisebenzi yomthetho—kuba akukho mntu owenziwa lilungisa ngemisebenzi yomthetho. ¹⁷Kodwa ukuba, sifuna ukwenziwa amalungisa kuKrestu, nathi ngokwethu sifunyanwa singaboni, ngaba ke uKrestu ngumkhonzi wesono? Nakanye! ¹⁸Kuba ukuba ndibuye ndiyakhe oko ndakudilizayo, ndizibonakalisa ndingumaphuli-mthetho. ¹⁹Kuba ngomthetho ndafa emthethweni, ukuze ndiphile kuBawo wethu. ²⁰Ndibethelelwe emnqamlezweni kunye noKrestu. Asindim osaphilayo, nguKrestu ophila ngaphakathi kum. Ubomi endibuphilayo ngoku emzimbeni, ndibuphila ngokholo kuNyana kaBawo wethu, owandithandayo wazinikela ngenxa yam. ²¹Andilucekisi ubabalo lukaBawo wethu; ukuba ubulungisa buza ngomthetho, uKrestu ngoko wafa ngelize.
