3 Ngiyambonga uNkulunkulu engimkhonzayo kusukela kokhokho ngonembeza omhlophe, njengalokhu ngikukhumbula ngokungaphezi emikhulekweni yami ubusuku nemini, 4ngilangazelela ukukubona, ngikhumbula izinyembezi zakho, ukuze ngigcwaliswe ngentokozo, 5 ngikhunjuzwe ukukholwa okungenakuzenzisa okukuwe, okwahlala kuqala kunyokokhulu uLowisi nakunyoko uYunisi, yebo, ngiyethemba, nakuwena. 6 Ngaleso sizathu ngiyakukhumbuza ukuba uvuse isipho somusa sikaNkulunkulu esikhona kuwe ngokubeka izandla zami. 7 Ngokuba uNkulunkulu akasiphanga umoya wobugwala, kepha owamandla, nowothando, nowokuzikhuza.

13 Isibonelo samazwi aphilayo masibe yilawo owawezwa kimi ngokukholwa nangothando olukuKristu Jesu; 14 okuhle okubekiwe kuwe ukulonde ngoMoya oNgcwele ohlala kithi.
15 Uyazi lokhu ukuthi bonke abase-Asiya bangifulathele, abaphakathi kwabo ngoFigelu noHermogene.
16 INkosi mayinike indlu ka-Onesiforu umusa, ngokuba wangihlumelela kaningi, wayengenamahloni ngeketanga lami, 17 kepha esefikile eRoma wangifunisisa, wangifumana – 18 iNkosi mayimnike ukuba athole ububele eNkosini ngalolo suku – konke akhonza ngakho e-Efesu uyakwazi wena kakhulu.
