Ukuthunywa kukaTimoti
1Kungoko kwathi, singasenakuzibamba, kwakholeka kuthi ukuba sisale eAtene sedwa. 2Sathuma uTimoti, umzalwana wethu, umlungiseleli kaThixo, osebenza nathi ezindabeni ezilungileyo zikaKristu, ukuze anizimase, anivuselele ngenxa yokholo lwenu, 3kungabikho namnye ushukunyiswayo zezi mbandezelo; kuba nisazi ngokwenu ukuba simiselwe zona. 4Kuba xenikweni besikuni, sanixelela ngenxa engaphambili ukuba siza kubandezelwa; njengokuba kwaba njalo, nani niyazi. 5Ngenxa yoko nam ndithe, ndingasenakuzibamba, ndathumela ukuba ndilwazi ukholo lwenu, hleze abe unihendile uMhendi, saba sifumane sabulaleka.
6Ngoku ke uTimoti, efikile nje kuthi evela kuni, wasishumayeza iindaba ezilungileyo zokholo nezothando lwenu; nokuba nihlala ninokusikhumbula okuhle, nilangazelela ukusibona, kwanjengokuba nathi silangazelela ukunibona. 7Ngenxa yoko sithuthuzelekile, bazalwana, nini, kuyo yonke imbandezelo nengxakeko yethu ngalo ukholo lwenu; 8ngokuba ngoku siphilile, ukuba nina nithi nime eNkosini.
9Kuba singámbuyekeza ngambulelo mni na uThixo ngani, kulo lonke uvuyo esivuya ngalo ngenxa yenu phambi koThixo wethu, 10ubusuku nemini síkhunga ngokugqithiseleyo kakhulu, ukuba sibubone ubuso benu, sikuzalise ukusilela kokholo lwenu?
11Wanga ke uThixo ngokwakhe, uBawo wethu, neNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu, angayilungisa indlela yethu yokuza kuni. 12Yanga ke iNkosi inganandisa, inityebise eluthandweni, omnye komnye nakubo bonke, kwanjengokuba nathi sisenjenjalo kuni; 13ukuze izizimase iintliziyo zenu, zingabi nakusoleka, zibe ngcwele phambi koThixo uBawo wethu, ekufikeni kweNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu nabo bonke abangcwele bayo.
