₁Kubhala mna Pawulos, ndikunye noSilas noTimoti. Ndibhalela ibandla likaThixo wethu elimanywe neNkosi uYesu Krestu eliseTesalonika. ₂Ndithi: Wanga uThixo uYise neNkosi uYesu Krestu anganenzela isisa, aniphe uxolo.

₃Kufanelekile ukuba simbulele uThixo ngawo onke amaxesha ngenxa yenu, mawethu. Ewe, kulunge kanye ukuba simbulele ngenxa yokuba ukholo lwenu luya lusanda ngokwanda. Yaye nokuthandana kwenu kuya kukhula ngakumbi nangakumbi. ₄Yiyo loo nto ke nilibhongo lethu esihamba siqhayisa ngalo kwamanye amabandla kaThixo. Kaloku nina ninomonde, nimi ngxishi elukholweni naphantsi kweentshutshiso enikuzo, kwakunye neenzingo enizithweleyo.

₅Yonke ke loo nto ibonakalisa ukuba uThixo ugweba kakuhle. Kaloku ngenxa yezi nkxwaleko nizithweleyo uThixo uya kunenza nikufanele ukulawulwa nguye. ₆Kulunge kanye ukuba uThixo asiphindezelele, abavise iinzingo abo banicinezelayo, ₇aze kuni nina nitsala nzima, nakuthi, enze kube hele, kube chosi. Loo nto woyenza mhla ifika iNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, ivela emazulwini, ingqongwe zizithunywa zayo ezinamandla, ₈nangamadangatye omlilo. Abo bangamvumiyo uThixo yobagweba, kwanabo bangazithobeliyo iindaba ezimnandi zeNkosi yethu uYesu. ₉Baya kohlwaywa ngentshabalalo yangonaphakade, basuswe phambi kweNkosi, basikwe kubuncwane bewonga layo. ₁₀Kaloku ngaloo mini iya kuba ize kunikwa imbeko ngabayo, bayinqule bonke abakholwayo. Iya kuba njalo ke nakuni, kuba nani nakholwa ludaba endaniphathela lona.

₁₁Yiyo ke le nto ndihlala ndinithandazela. Ndisoloko ndimcela uThixo ukuba anifanelise ubizo lwenu. Wanga anganipha amandla okunqwenela ukwenza okulungileyo, anigqibezelele umsebenzi eniwenze niqhutywa lukholo. ₁₂Ngamana ke ningalidumisa igama leNkosi yethu uYesu, nani niwongwe ngobabalo lukaThixo wethu neNkosi uYesu Krestu.
