1UPawuli, umphostoli kaKristu Jesu ngentando kaNkulunkulu, noThimothewu umzalwane,
2kubo abangcwele nabazalwane abathembekileyo kuKristu abaseKolose: Makube kini umusa nokuthula okuvela kuNkulunkulu uBaba wethu naseNkosini uJesu Kristu.
3Sibonga uNkulunkulu uYise weNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, sinikhulekela njalo,
4njengoba sezwa ngokukholwa kwenu kuKristu Jesu, nothando eninalo kubo bonke abangcwele.
5Ngokuba ithemba enibekelwe lona ezulwini, enalizwa ngaphambili ngezwi leqiniso levangeli;
6elifikile kini, njengasezweni lonke; lithela isithelo, njengalokhu lisenza lakini, kusukela osukwini elakuzwa ngalo, lawazi umusa kaNkulunkulu ngeqiniso;
7njengalokhu lafunda kuEphafra inceku kanye lathi ethandekayo, oyisikhonzi esithembekileyo sikaKristu ngenxa yenu;
8owasibikela futhi ngothando lwenu ngoMoya.
9Ngalokho nathi, kusukela osukwini esakuzwa ngalo, asiphezi ukunikhulekela, nokunxusa ukuba nigcwaliswe ukwazi intando yakhe kukho konke ukuhlakanipha nokuqonda kokomoya;
10ukuze nihambe ngokufanele iNkosi ngokuthokozisa konke, nithela kuyo yonke imisebenzi emihle, nikhule ekwazini uNkulunkulu;
11Niqiniswe ngamandla onke ngokwamandla enkazimulo yakhe, kube kukho konke ukubekezela nokubekezela kanye nentokozo;
12sibonga uBaba osenze safaneleka ukuhlanganyela efeni labangcwele ekukhanyeni;
13owasikhulula emandleni obumnyama, wasesisa embusweni weNdodana yakhe ethandekayo;
14esilokuhlengwa kuye ngegazi lakhe, ukuthethelelwa kwezono;
15Ongumfanekiso kaNkulunkulu ongabonwayo, izibulo lezidalwa zonke.
16Ngokuba kwadalwa ngayo zonke izinto ezisezulwini nezisemhlabeni, ezibonakalayo nezingabonakali, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ziyizihlalo zobukhosi, noma imibuso, noma imibuso, noma amandla;
17Yena ungaphambi kwazo zonke izinto, futhi zonke izinto zihlangana ngayo.
18Futhi yona iyinhloko yomzimba, ibandla, eyisiqalo, izibulo kwabafileyo; ukuze ibe ngeyokuqala ezintweni zonke.
19Ngokuba kwamthokozisa uBaba ukuthi ukugcwala konke kuhlale kuye;
20esenze ukuthula ngegazi lesiphambano sakhe, abuyisane ngayo zonke izinto; ngaye, noma kungokusemhlabeni, noma okusezulwini.
21Nani enakade nahlukanisiwe futhi niyizitha engqondweni yenu ngemisebenzi emibi, nokho manje usenibuyise ukubuyisana.
22Emzimbeni wenyama yakhe ngokufa, ukuze alethule phambi kwakhe lingcwele, lingelacala, lingelacala.
23Uma nihlala ekukholweni nisekelwe niqinile, ningasuswa ethembeni levangeli enalizwa, elashunyayelwa kukho konke okudaliweyo okuphansi kwezulu; mina Pawulu ngenziwa isikhonzi sakho;
24engithokozayo khathesi ekuhluphekeni kwami ngenxa yenu, njalo enyameni yami ngigcwalisa okusilele kwezinhlupheko zikaKristu ngenxa yomzimba wakhe, oyibandla;
25engenziwa ngayo isikhonzi ngokohlelo lukaNkulunkulu engiwuphiwe ngenxa yenu, ukugcwalisa izwi likaNkulunkulu;
26ngitsho imfihlakalo ebifihliwe kusukela kudala lezizukulwaneni, kodwa khathesi ibonakalisiwe kwabangcwele bakhe;
27kubo uNkulunkulu athanda ukubazisa ukuthi iyini ingcebo yenkazimulo yale mfihlakalo phakathi kwabezizwe; onguKristu phakathi kwenu, ithemba lenkazimulo;
28esimshumayelayo, sixwayisa wonke umuntu, sifundisa wonke umuntu ngakho konke ukuhlakanipha; ukuze sethule wonke umuntu ephelele kuKristu Jesu;
29Nami ngiyakukhandlekela lokho, ngilwa ngokokusebenza kwakhe okusebenza kimi ngamandla.
