²mlichunge lile kundi la Mungu mlilokabidhiwa, mlitunze si kwa kulazimika, bali kwa hiari kama atakavyo Mungu. Fanyeni kazi hiyo si kwa tamaa ya fedha, bali kwa moyo wenu wote.

³Msiwatawale kwa mabavu hao waliowekwa chini ya ulinzi wenu, bali muwe mfano kwa hilo kundi.

³Mêtaklaheb sa' josk'il li k'axtesinbileb êre. Têtaklaheb ban sa' xyâlal. Châbilakex chiruheb re nak te'ril lê châbilal.

⁴Na wakati Mchungaji Mkuu atakapotokea, ninyi mtapokea taji ya utukufu isiyofifia.

⁵Kadhalika nanyi vijana mnapaswa kujiweka chini ya mamlaka ya wazee. Ninyi nyote mnapaswa kuwa na unyenyekevu mpate kutumikiana; maana Maandiko Matakatifu yasema: "Mungu huwapinga wenye majivuno, lakini huwajalia neema wanyenyekevu."

⁶Basi, nyenyekeeni chini ya mkono wa enzi wa Mungu, ili awainue wakati ufaao.

⁶Checubsi bi' êcuanquil chiru li Dios li k'axal nim xcuanquil re nak li Dios tixnimobresi lê cuanquil nak tixtau xk'ehil.

⁷Mwekeeni matatizo yenu yote, maana yeye anawatunzeni.

⁸Muwe macho; kesheni! Maana adui yenu, Ibilisi, huzungukazunguka kama simba angurumaye akitafuta mawindo.

⁸Chicuânk êna'leb re xcolbal êrib chiru laj tza xban nak laj tza yô chixsic'bal ani târâle. Laj tza a'an chanchan li cakcoj câmc re xban xtz'ocajic ut yô chixsutinquil rib yalak bar re xsic'bal ani tixcamsi re tixtiu.

⁹Muwe imara katika imani na kumpinga, mkijua kwamba ndugu zenu pote duniani wanapatwa na mateso hayohayo.

¹⁰Lakini mkisha teseka muda mfupi, Mungu aliye asili ya neema yote na ambaye anawaiteni muushiriki utukufu wake wa milele katika kuungana na Kristo, yeye mwenyewe atawakamilisheni na kuwapeni uthabiti, nguvu na msingi imara.

¹²Nimewaandikieni barua hii fupi kwa msaada wa Silwano, ndugu ambaye namjua na kumwamini. Nataka kuwapeni moyo na kushuhudia kwamba jambo hili ni neema ya Mungu kweli. Kaeni imara katika neema hiyo.
