18Timothy, my child, I entrust you with this command in keeping with the previous prophecies about you, so that by them you may fight the good fight, 19holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and thereby shipwrecked their faith....
18  Lomyalo ngiwunika wena Thimothi mntfwanami, ngekuvumelana netiphrofetho letashiwo mayelana nawe kutsi ngato uchubeke ulwa kulwa lokuhle; 19  ubambelele ekukholweni nakunembeza lomuhle, loko labanye labakubekele eceleni kwaphumela ekulimaleni kwekukholwa kwabo njengemkhumbi lowephukile.
