18. “Kakade ke iyaziwa le nto.
19. Ke ngoko mna ndithi masingazixhamli iintlanga eziguqukayo,
20. koko masizibhalele incwadi sizixelele ukuba mazingatyi naluphi na uhlobo lokutya okungahlambulukanga ngenxa yokubingelelwa kwizithixo, zizigcine nyulu ekurheletyeni, zingatyi nasiphi na isilo esikrwitshiweyo, nanyama inegazi.
21. Sekukudala kakade ufundwa umthetho kaMosis, kushunyayelwa amazwi akhe ngayo yonke *iMihla yokuPhumla *ezindlwini zesikhungo kwiidolophu ngeedolophu.”
22. *Abathunywa nabadala, kunye nebandla lonke, bafika kwisigqibo sokuba kukhethwe amadoda phakathi kwabo, athunywe eAntiyokwe kunye noPawulos noBharnabha. Banyulwa ke ooJudas ogama limbi linguBharsabha kunye noSilas, ingamadoda awayebekwe kakhulu ngamakholwa.
23. Banikwa incwadi ukuba bahambe nayo. Ke yona yayibhalwe ngolu hlobo:“Thina bathunywa sikunye nabadala siyanibulisa njengamawethu xa ninonke, nina zizwe zaseAntiyokwe eSiriya naseKiliki.

30. Izigidimi ezo zandululwa, zasinga eAntiyokwe, apho zafika zawahlanganisa amakholwa, zawanika incwadi leyo.
31. Bathi abantu bakuyifunda incwadi leyo, bavuya kakhulu ziindaba zayo zenkuthazo.
32. UJudas noSilas, ababengabashumayeli ngokwabo, bathetha ixesha elide namakholwa, bewakhuthaza, bewomeleza.
