Paulo mtumwi wa Khristu Yesu mwa chifuniro cha Mulungu. Anandituma kuti ndilalike za lonjezo la moyo umene uli mwa Khristu Yesu. 
Kwa Timoteyo, mwana wanga wokondedwa: Chisomo, chifundo ndi mtendere zochokera kwa Mulungu Atate ndi Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu. 
Ndikuyamika Mulungu amene ndimamutumikira ndi chikumbumtima chosatsutsika, monga momwe ankachitira makolo anga. Usiku ndi usana ndimakukumbukira mosalekeza mʼmapemphero anga. 
Ndikamakumbukira misozi yako, ndimalakalaka nditakuona kuti ndidzazidwe ndi chimwemwe. 
Ndakumbukira za chikhulupiriro chako choona chimene chinayamba mwa agogo ako a Loisi ndi mwa amayi ako Yunike ndipo ndikutsimikiza mtima kuti chilinso mwa iwe. 
Nʼchifukwa chake ndikukukumbutsa kuti upemerere monga amachitira moto, mphatso imene Mulungu anakupatsa nditakusanjika manja. 
Pakuti Mzimu amene Mulungu anatipatsa, si Mzimu wotipatsa manyazi, koma Mzimu wotipatsa mphamvu, chikondi ndi kudzisunga. 
Choncho usachite manyazi kuchitira umboni Ambuye athu, kapena kuchita manyazi chifukwa cha ine wamʼndende. Koma umve nane zowawa chifukwa cha Uthenga Wabwino, mothandizidwa ndi mphamvu za Mulungu. 
Iye anatipulumutsa ndipo anatiyitanira ku moyo oyera mtima, osati chifukwa cha chilichonse chimene tinachita, koma chifukwa cha chikonzero ndi chisomo chake. Chisomo chimenechi anatipatsa ife mwa Khristu Yesu nthawi isanayambe. 
Koma tsopano Mulungu watiwululira kudzera mʼkuoneka kwa Mpulumutsi wathu, Khristu Yesu, amene anathetsa mphamvu za imfa ndipo mwa Uthenga Wabwino anaonetsa poyera moyo umene sungafe. 
Ine ndinasankhidwa kukhala wamthenga, ndi mtumwi ndi mphunzitsi wa Uthenga Wabwinowu. 
Nʼchifukwa chake ndikuvutika monga ndililimu. Komabe zimenezi sizikundichititsa manyazi, popeza ndikumudziwa amene ndamukhulupirira ndipo ndikutsimikiza mtima kuti akhoza kusamalira chimene ndinamusungitsa mpaka tsiku lijalo. 
Zimene unamva kwa ine, uzisunge kuti zikhale chitsanzo cha chiphunzitso choona, mwa chikhulupiriro ndi chikondi mwa Khristu Yesu. 
Samalira bwino zokoma zimene anakusungitsa. Uzisamalire mothandizidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera amene amakhala mwa ife. 
Iwe udziwa kuti onse a mʼchigawo cha Asiya anandithawa, kuphatikizapo Fugelo ndi Herimogene omwe. 
Mulungu achitire chifundo banja lonse la Onesiforo chifukwa ankandisangalatsa kawirikawiri ndipo sankachita nane manyazi ngakhale ndinali womangidwa ndi maunyolo. 
Mʼmalo mwake, atangofika ku Roma, anandifunafuna ndipo anandipeza. 
Ambuye amulole kuti adzalandire chifundo kwa Ambuye pa tsiku lijalo! Ukudziwa bwino momwe iye anandithandizira mʼnjira zosiyanasiyana ku Efeso.
