17Bazalwane, ngiyanincenga: qaphelani labo abadala ukwahlukana nezithiyo, abaphambene nemfundiso enayifunda, nibafulathele. 18Ngokuba abantu abanjalo abayikhonzi iNkosi yethu uKhristu kodwa izinkanuko zabo, bekhohlisa izinhliziyo zabangakhathali ngenkulumo ethambile nangokuyenga. 19Ukulalela kwenu sekufinyelele kubo bonke, ngakho ngiyajabula ngani; kodwa ngifisa ukuba nihlakaniphe ngokuhle, nibe msulwa ngokubi. 20UBaba wethu wokuthula uyakumchoboza uSathane ngokushesha ngaphansi kwezinyawo zenu; umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu mawube nani. a a v20 Isithembiso sokuthi isitha siyakuchotshozwa ngaphansi kwezinyawo zenu sibuyela emuva kuze kufike esithembisweni sokuqala ensimini—uBaba wethu wayehlale ehlose ukunqoba inyoka nokubuyisa abantwana bakhe ekhaya.
21UThimothewu, esisebenza naye, uyanibingelela; kanjalo noLukiyu, uJasoni, noSosiphatheru, amaJuda engikanye nawo. 22Mina, uThertiyu, engibhale phansi le ncwadi, ngiyanibingelela eNkosini. 23UGayu, ongengenisile mina nebandla lonke, uyanibingelela. U-Erastu, umgcinimafa womuzi, noKwartu umzalwane wethu nabo bayanibingelela. b b v23 Imibhalo yasendulo kakhulu ayinalo ivesi 24 lapha; amakhophi akamuva engeza: “Umusa weNkosi yethu uJesu Khristu mawube nani nonke.
