1Phezu kwalokho, bazalwane, ngimemezela kini ivangeli engalishumayela kini, enalamukela futhi, enimi kulo;
2elisindiswa ngazo futhi, uma nikukhumbula lokho enganishumayeza khona, ngaphandle uma nikholwa ize.
3Ngokuba kuqala kunakho konke nganinika lokho engakwamukela nami, ukuthi uKristu wafela izono zethu njengokwemibhalo;
4lokuthi wembelwa, lokuthi wavuka ngosuku lwesithathu njengokwemibhalo;
5lokuthi wabonwa nguKhefase, kwasekulandela kwabalitshumi lambili;
6Emva kwalokho wabonwa ngasikhathi sinye kubazalwane abangaphezu kwamakhulu amahlanu; iningi labo lisekhona namanje, kepha abanye balele.
7Emva kwalokho wabonwa nguJakobe; kwasekusithi kubo bonke abaphostoli.
8Ekugcineni kwabo bonke wabonwa nakimi, njengakuwo owazalwa kungakabi yisikhathi.
9Ngokuba mina ngingomncinyane kubaphostoli, engingafanele ukubizwa ngomphostoli, ngokuba ngazingela ibandla likaNkulunkulu.
10Kepha ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ngiyikho engiyikho, nomusa wakhe kimi awubanga yize; kodwa ngisebenze kakhulu kakhulu kunabo bonke;
11Ngakho-ke noma kuyimi noma yibo, sishumayela kanjalo, nakholwa ngokunjalo.
12Kepha uma uKristu eshunyayelwa ukuthi uvukile kwabafileyo, basho kanjani abanye phakathi kwenu ukuthi akukho ukuvuka kwabafileyo na?
13Kepha uma kungekho ukuvuka kwabafileyo, noKristu akavuswanga;
14Uma uKristu engavuswanga kwabafileyo, ukushumayela kwethu kuyize, nokukholwa kwenu kuyize.
15Yebo, sifunyanwa singofakazi bamanga bakaNkulunkulu; ngoba safakaza ngoNkulunkulu ukuthi wamvusa uKristu, angamvusanga, uba kambe abafileyo bengavuki.
16Ngokuba uma abafileyo bengavuki, noKristu akavuswanga;
17Uma uKristu engavuswanga, ukukholwa kwenu kuyize; nisesezonweni zenu.
18Khona-ke nalabo asebalala bekuKristu babhubhile.
19Uma sithembela kuKristu kulokhu kuphila kuphela, singabokudabuka kunabantu bonke.
20Kodwa kalokhu uKristu uvusiwe kwabafileyo, elulibo lwabaleleyo.
21Ngoba njengoba ukufa kweza ngomuntu, langomuntu ukuvuka kwabafileyo kweza.
22Ngokuba njengalokhu ku-Adamu bonke bayafa, ngokunjalo kuKristu bonke bayakuphiliswa.
23Kodwa ngulowo lalowo esigabeni sakhe: UKristu ulibo; ngasemuva abangabakaKristu ekufikeni kwakhe.
24Khona-ke kufika ukuphela, lapho eyakunikela umbuso kuNkulunkulu uYise; lapho esechithile konke ukubusa labo bonke ubukhosi lamandla.
25Ngokuba umelwe ukubusa, aze abeke izitha zonke phansi kwezinyawo zakhe.
26Isitha sokugcina esiyakuchithwa singukufa;
27Ngokuba izinto zonke uzibekile phansi kwezinyawo zakhe. Kepha nxa ethi zonke izinto zithotshiswe phansi kwakhe, kusobala ukuthi ungaphandle yena owabeka zonke izinto phansi kwakhe.
28Nxa izinto zonke sezithotshiselwe phansi kwakhe, khona nayo iNdodana iyakuzithoba phansi kwalowo owabeka zonke izinto phansi kwayo, ukuze uNkulunkulu abe yikho konke kukho konke.
29Uma kungenjalo, bayakwenzani ababhapathizwa ngenxa yabafileyo, uma abafileyo bengavuki na? babhabhathizelwani abafileyo na?
30Futhi kungani sizifaka engozini ihora ngalinye?
31Ngifa imihla ngemihla ngokuzibonga enginakho kuKristu Jesu iNkosi yethu.
32Uma ngokwabantu ngalwa nezilo e-Efesu, ngiyakungisizani, uma abafileyo bengavuki na? masidle, siphuze; ngoba kusasa sizakufa.
33Ningakhohliswa; ukujwayelana nababi konakalisa ukuziphatha okuhle.
34Phaphamani ekulungeni, ningoni; ngoba abanye kabamazi uNkulunkulu; ngikhuluma lokhu ukuze libe lenhloni.
35Kodwa omunye uyakuthi: Abafileyo bavuswa kanjani na? beza ngamuphi umzimba?
36Siphukuphuku, lokho okuhlanyelayo kakwenziwa kuphile, ngaphandle kokuthi kufe;
37Nalokho okuhlwanyelayo, awuhlwanyeli umzimba oyakuba khona, kepha uhlamvu oluze, kungaba ngekakolweni noma ololunye;
38Kepha uNkulunkulu ulunika umzimba njengokuthanda kwakhe, nembewu yonke uyinika owayo umzimba.
39Inyama yonke ayinyamanye, kodwa kukhona inyama yabantu, nenye inyama yezilwane, nenye yezinhlanzi, nenye yezinyoni.
40Ikhona nemizimba yasezulwini, nemizimba yasemhlabeni, kepha inkazimulo yeyasezulwini iyodwa, nenkazimulo yasemhlabeni iyodwa.
41Iyodwa inkazimulo yelanga, nenkazimulo yenyanga iyodwa, nenkazimulo yezinkanyezi iyodwa, ngokuba inkanyezi iyahluka kwenye inkanyezi ngobukhosi.
42Kunjalo futhi nokuvuka kwabafileyo. Kuhlwanyelwa kunokonakala; livuswa linokungonakali;
43Kuhlwanyelwa kukude; kuhlwanyelwa kunobuthakathaka; livuswa linamandla;
44Kuhlwanyelwa kungumzimba wemvelo; kuvuswa kungumzimba womoya. Kukhona umzimba wemvelo, futhi kukhona umzimba womoya.
45Kanjalo kulotshiwe ukuthi: Umuntu wokuqala u-Adamu waba ngumphefumulo ophilayo; uAdamu wokugcina waba ngumoya ophilisayo.
46Kepha okokuqala akusikho okomoya kepha okwemvelo; ngasemuva lokho okomoya.
47Umuntu wokuqala uvela emhlabeni, ungowomhlaba; umuntu wesibili yiNkosi evela ezulwini.
48Njengoba enjalo ongowenhlabathi, banjalo labo abangabenhlabathi;
49Futhi njengalokhu sinomfanekiso wowomhlaba, siyakuba nomfanekiso wowasezulwini.
50Kepha ngisho lokhu, bazalwane, ukuthi inyama negazi akunakulidla ifa lombuso kaNkulunkulu; nokubola akulidli ifa lokungonakali.
51Bhekani, ngiyanitshela imfihlakalo; Asiyikulala sonke, kepha siyakuguqulwa sonke;
52Ngokuphazima kweso, ngokucwayiza kwelihlo, ekukhaleni kwecilongo lokugcina;
53Ngoba lokhu okubolayo kumele ukwembatha ukungaboli, lalokhu okufayo kumele ukwembatha ukungafi.
54Njalo-ke nxa lokhu okubolayo sekwembethe ukungonakali, lalokhu okufayo sekwembethe ukungafi, kuzagcwaliseka ilizwi elilotshiweyo elithi: Ukufa kuginyiwe ekunqobeni.
55Kufa, luphi udosi lwakho na? Thuna, kuphi ukunqoba kwakho na?
56Udosi lokufa yisono; lamandla esono ngumthetho.
57Kodwa makabongwe uNkulunkulu osinika ukunqoba ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.
58Ngakho-ke, bazalwane bami abathandekayo, yibani ngabagxilile, abangaxegiyo, abavame njalo emsebenzini weNkosi, nazi ukuthi ukusebenza kwenu akusilo ize eNkosini.
