Ukuzikhukhumeza kwabeKorinte lokuhlupheka kwabaphostoli
6 Njalo lezizinto, bazalwanen, ngiziqondanise lami loApolosi ngenxa yenuo, ukuze lifunde kithi ukuthi lingakhumbuli phezu kokulotshiweyop, ukuze lingakhukhunyezwa omunyeq ngomunye limelane lomunyer. 7 Ngoba ngubani okwenza ukuthi wehlukes? Njalo kuyini olakhot ongakwemukelangau? Njalo uba lawe wemukele, uzincomelani ngokungathi kawemukelanga? 8 Selisuthi, selinothile, libusile ngaphandle kwethuv; yebo-ke kungathi ngabe liyabusa, ukuze lathi sibuse kanye laniw. 9 Ngoba ngithi uNkulunkulu usimisile thina abaphostoli bokucinax, sibe njengabamiselwe ukufay; ngoba senziwe umbukiso2 emhlabeni, lakuzo ingilosi, lebantwiniz. 10 Thina siyizithutha ngenxa kaKristua, kodwa lina lihlakaniphile kuKristub; thina sibuthakathaka, kodwa lina lilamandla; lina liyahlonitshwa, kodwa thina siyadelelwac. 11 Kuze kube lihola lakhathesi silambiled, somilee, sihambazefg, siyatshaywa ngenqindih, siyimihambuma, 12 siyatshikatshikai sisebenza ngezethu izandla; sithi sithukwaj sibusise; sithi sizingelwak sibekezele; 13 sithi sinyeywa sincenge; senziwa njengamanyala omhlabal, imfucuzam yezinto zonke, kuze kube khathesi.
14 Kangilibhaleli lezizinto ukuthi ngilithele inhlonin, kodwa ngileluleka njengabantwana bami abathandekayoo. 15 Ngoba lanxa lilabelulekip abayizinkulungwane ezilitshumi kuKristu, kodwa kalilaboyihlo abanengi; ngoba mina ngalizala kuKristu Jesuq ngevangeli. 16 Ngakho ngiyalincenga: Banini ngabalingisi bamir. 17 Ngalokho ngithume kini uTimothis, ongumntanami othandekayot lothembekileyo eNkosiniu, ozalikhumbuzav ngenhambo zami ezikuKristu, njengoba ngifundisa endaweni zonke kulo lonke ibandlaw. 18 Kodwa abanyex bazikhukhumeziley ngokungathi kangiyikuza kini. 19 Kanti ngizakuza kini masinyanez, uba iNkosi ivumaa, njalo ngizakwazi, hatshi ilizwi lalabo abazikhukhumezayob, kodwa amandla. 20 Ngoba umbuso kaNkulunkulu kawungelizwi kodwa ngamandlac. 21 Lifunani? Ngize kinid ngenduku yinie, kumbe ngothando lomoyaf ochumileyo?
