1 Ain A a free man? Ain A a postle? Ain A done see Jedus we Lawd wid me own eye? An fa true, cause ob me wok as a postle, oona come fa be one wid de Lawd, ainty dough? 2 Eben ef oda people ain tink A a postle fa sho, A a postle ta oona! Cause ob de way oona da waak wid de Lawd, oona show dat fa true A a postle.

3 Wen people quizzit me, da say A ain da do right, dis yah wa A kin ansa um. 4 Fa true, we got de right fa tek food an drink, ainty? 5 Ain we got de right fa hab a wife long wid we wen we da trabel, same like de oda postle dem an de Lawd broda dem an Peter da do? 6 Ya da say Barnabas an me, jes we two haffa keep on da wok fa we libin, same time we da wok fa de Lawd? 7 Ain no sodja wa haffa pay e own way, ainty? Ain no faama wa plant grape wine an den ain nyam none ob de grape ob dat wine. An ain nobody wa mind sheep dat ain git none ob de sheep milk, ainty dough?

8 A ain tink dem ting outta me own head, cause de Law dat God gii Moses say de same ting. 9 Dey write een de Law dat God gii Moses say, “Mus dohn tie op de ox mout so e ain able fa nyam wiles e da tread out de grain.” Now den, ain fa sake ob dem ox dat God say dat, ainty? 10 Fa sho, God mean we wen e say dat, ainty dough? Dey done write dat fa we sake. Cause de plowman wa da plow de groun an de one wa da geda de haabis, all two dem oughta do dey wok wid de hope dat dey gwine git dey paat ob dat haabis. 11 We beena plant God seed een oona haat. Ef we git haabis fom oona ob dem ting dat we body need fa lib, dat ain tommuch, ainty? 12 Ef oda people got a right fa tink oona gwine gim dem ting dey body need, ain we got a right eben mo den dem?

Stillyet, we ain mek nyuse ob we right. Stead ob dat, we pit op wid all kind ob ting so dat nottin ain gwine stop de Good Nyews bout Christ. 13 Fa sho, oona know dat dem wa da wok een God House git dey ration fom dey wok een God House. An dem wa mek animal sacrifice pon de alta een God House git dey paat ob de meat wa dey da sacrifice. 14 Same way so, de Lawd chaage we, say dem wa da preach de Good Nyews bout Christ, dey oughta git wa dey need fa lib cause ob de wok dey da do.

15 Bot A ain neba aks nobody fa gii me none ob dem good ting wa A got a right fa hab. An A ain da write dis letta ta oona cause A da look fa dem ting fom oona now. A ain gwine leh nobody tek way me right fa brag bout dis. Fo A do dat, leh me dead. 16 Stillyet, wen A da preach de Good Nyews bout Jedus Christ, A ain got no right fa brag. A haffa do dat. E gwine be too bad fa me ef A ain tell de Good Nyews ebryweh. 17 Ef A da do me wok cause A wahn fa do um, den A got me payback. Bot ef A do me wok cause A haffa do um, A jes do um cause God gii me dis wok fa do. 18 So den, wa me payback? Dis me payback: A able fa preach de Good Nyews dout pay. Wen A do dat, A ain aks fa all dem ting wa A got a right fa aks fa. 19 A a free man. A ain blongst ta no man. Stillyet, A mek mesef a slabe ta ebrybody, so dat A gwine bring all dem wa A kin bring ta Christ. 20 Wen A da wok wid Jew people, A da lib same fashion like dem Jew, so dat A kin bring um ta Christ. An eben dough A ain haffa lib coddin ta de Law dat God gii Moses, A lib coddin ta dat Law, so dat A kin bring dem ta Christ. 21 Same fashion, wen A da wok wid people wa ain lib coddin ta de Jew Law, A da lib like A ain onda de Jew Law, so dat A kin bring dem ta Christ. A ain mean fa say A ain do wa God Law say, cause fa true A da lib onda Christ Law. 22 Ta dem wa ain gone faa yet wid Christ, A kin mek like A too ain gone faa yet, so dat A kin hep dem go mo faa. So coddin ta how all people da lib, A change how A lib, fa find all kind ob way A kin fa sabe some ob dem people.

23 A da do all dis so dat de Good Nyews kin spread all oba, an A kin hab me paat ob de blessin dat de Good Nyews da bring. 24 Oona know fa true dat ob all de people wa da ron een a race, jes one ob um kin win de prize, ainty? Same way so, oona too oughta ron een susha way dat oona gwine win de prize. 25 Ebrybody wa da ron een a race gwine do all dey kin do fa mek dey body fit, so dey able fa ron mo betta. Dey do all dat fa git a crown pon dey head dat ain gwine las long. Bot we gwine git a crown dat las faeba. 26 Well den, A da pit all me haat eenta de race. A ain da do like a boxa man wa ain neba hit de one e da fight ginst. 27 A treat me body rough, A da do all dem ting wa mek me able fa tek chaage ob me body. A da do dat so dat God ain neba gwine tell me dat atta A done preach de Good Nyews ta people all oba, A ain fit fa win de prize.
