9Kangisuye umphostoli yinia? Kangikhululekanga yinib? Angimbonanga yinic uJesu Kristu iNkosi yethu? Lina kalisiwo yini umsebenzi wami eNkosinid? 2 Uba ngingesuye umphostoli kwabanye, kodwa nginguye sibili kini; ngoba lina liluphawue lobuphostoli bamif eNkosini. 3 Ukuziphendulelag kwami kwabangihlolayoh yilokhu. 4 Kasilamandla yini okudlai lokunatha? 5 Kasilamandla yinij okuhambahamba lomzalwanekazik ongumkethu1, njengabanye abaphostoli labo, labafowabol beNkosi, loKefasim? 6 Kumbe yimi ngedwa loBarnabasin yini esingelamandla okungasebenzio? 7 Ngubani owake waphuma impip ngezakhe indlekoq? Ngubani ohlanyelar isivini, angadli okwesithelo saso? Kumbe ngubani owelusas umhlambit, angadli okochago lomhlambiu? 8 Kambe lezizinto ngizitsho ngokomuntuv? Kumbe lomlayo kawutsho lezizinto yini? 9 Ngoba kulotshiwe emlayweni kaMozisi ukuthi: Ungayifaki isayeke inkabiw ebhulax amabele. Kambe uNkulunkulu ukhathalela inkabi? 10 Kumbe utsho ngenxa yethu isibili? Ngoba kubhalwe ngenxa yethuy, ukuze kuthi olimayoz kufanele alime ethembeni, lobhulayoa esethembeni uhlanganyela ethembeni lakhe. 11 Uba thina sahlanyelab kini okomoya, kuyinto enkulu yini uba sivuna okwenu okwenyama? 12 Uba abanye behlanganyela lamandla phezu kwenuc, kakhulu kangakanani thina? Kodwa kasiwasebenzisangad lawomandla, kodwa sibekezelela konkee, ukuze singabeki isikhubekisof evangelini likaKristu. 13 Kalazi yini ukuthi labo abasebenza ezintweni ezingcweleg badla okwethempeli, labo abalinda ilathi bahlanganyela lelathi? 14 Ngokunjalo iNkosi layo ilayileh ukuthi labo abatshumayela ivangeli baphilei ngevangeli. 15 Kodwa mina angisebenzisanga lalunye lwalezizintoj; futhi kangibhalanga lezizinto ukuze kwenziwe njalo kimi, ngoba kungaba ngcono kimi ukuthi ngife, kulokuthi umuntu akwenze ize ukuzincoma kwamik. 16 Ngoba loba ngitshumayela ivangeli, kangilakuzincomal; ngoba imfanelo yetheswe minam; kodwa maye kimin, uba ngingatshumayeli ivangeli! 17 Ngoba uba ngisenza lokhu ngokuzithandela, ngilomvuzoo; kodwa nxa kungeyisikho ngokuzithandela, ubuphathip bunikelwe kimi. 18 Pho umvuzo wami uyiniq? Uyikuthi nxa ngitshumayela ivangeli ngenzer ukuthi ivangeli likaKristu lingabizi lutho, ukuze ngingasebenzisi kakhulus amandla ami evangelini.

19 Ngoba ngikhululekilet kubo bonke, ngizenzeu isigqili sabo bonke, ukuze ngizuze abanengi kakhuluv. 20 LakumaJudaw ngaba njengomJuda, ukuze ngizuze amaJudax; kwabangaphansi komlayoy njengongaphansi komlayo, ukuze ngizuzez abangaphansi komlayo; 21 kwabangelamlayoa njengongelamlayo (ngingesuye ongelamlayo kuNkulunkulu kodwa ngiphakathi komlayo kuKristub), ukuze ngizuze abangelamlayoc; 22 kwababuthakathakad ngaba njengobuthakathaka, ukuze ngizuze ababuthakathakae; ngaba yikho konkef kubo bonke, ukuze ngakho konke ngisindise abanyeg. 23 Lalokho ngikwenza ngenxa yevangelih, ukuze lami ngibe ngohlanganyela kulo.

24 Kalazi yini ukuthi abagijima emjahweni bagijima bonke, kodwa munye owemukela umvuzoi? Ngokunjalo gijimanij, ukuze liwuzuzek. 25 Labo bonke abancintisanayol bayazithibam ezintweni zonke; labo-ke ukuze bemukele umqhelen ophelayo, kodwa thina ongapheliyoo. 26 Mina-ke ngigijimap ngokunjalo hatshi njengongaqondanga lutho; ngilwa ngokunjalo hatshi njengodabula umoyaq; 27 kodwa ngiyawudinda umzimba wamir ngiwenze isigqilis, hlezi kuthi, sengitshumayeze abanye ngilahlwet mina uqobo.
