OPawulu, noSilvanu, noThimothewu kulo ibandla labaseTheselonika elikuNkulunkulu uBaba , naseNkosini uJesu Kristu : Makube kini umusa nokuthula. UPawulu ubonga ukuqala kwabo okuhle ekukholweni; wethemba ukukhethwa kwabo ngevangeli eliqinisileyo abalamukele

Kepha ukuphila angikushayi into yalutho ukuba kube yigugu kimi, kuphela ukuba ngiphelelise ukuhamba kwami nenkonzo engayamukela eNkosini uJesu yokufakaza ngevangeli lomusa kaNkulunkulu.

Ngokuba uNkulunkulu, engimkhonza emoyeni wami ngevangeli leNdodana yakhe, ungufakazi wami wokuthi ngokungaphezi ngiyanikhumbula

Ngokuba anginamahloni ngevangeli ; ngokuba lingamandla kaNkulunkulu , kube yinsindiso kulowo nalowo okholwayo, kumJuda kuqala, nakumGreki.

Ngokuba noma ninabafundisi abayizinkulungwane eziyishumi kuKristu , nokho oyihlo kababaningi , ngokuba mina nganizala kuKristu Jesu ngevangeli.

Ngokunjalo iNkosi imisile ukuba abamemezela ivangeli baphile ngevangeli.

ukuze singehlu lwa nguSathane ; ngokuba asisibo abangawazi amacebo akhe. Uyabongeka uNkulunkulu onqobisa ngevangeli

Sithumele kanye naye umzalwane oludumo lwakhe ngevangeli lwandile kuwo onke amabandla,

Ngokuba asizeluli ngokweqisa ngokungathi asifinyeleli kini , ngokuba sifikile kwaze kwaba nakini ngevangeli likaKristu,

Kepha kunalokho , lapho bebona ukuthi ngithenjiwe ngevangeli kwabangasokiyo njengoPetru kwabasokayo,

ukuthi abezizwe bayizindlalifa kanye nathi , nokuthi bamzimba munye nathi, nokuthi bangabahlanganyeli besithembiso kanye nathi kuKristu Jesu ngevangeli;

anibizela kukho ngevangeli lethu , nize nizuze inkazimulo yeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu.

kepha osubonakalisiwe manje ngokubonakala koMsindisi wethu uKristu Jesu, owachitha ukufa , walethela ekukhanyeni ukuphila nokungabhubhi ngevangeli,
