19Nokuti Baba vakafara nazvo, kuti kuzara kwose kugare maari,

20kuti naye ayananise zvinhu zvose kwaari, amboita rugare neropa rake rakaparadzirwa romuchinjikwa naiye, kunyange zviri panyika, kunyange zviri kudenga.

21Nemiwo, kare maiva vaeni navavengi pakufunga kwenyu pamabasa enyu akaipa,

22asi zvino wakakuyananisai nomuviri wenyama yake, nokufa kwake, kuti akuisei pamberi pake muri vatsvene, musina mhosva, musingapomerwi,

25iro randakaitwa mushumiri waro sezvandakagoverwa naMwari pamusoro penyu, kuti ndizadzise shoko raMwari;

26ndicho chakavanzika, chakanga chakafukidzwa kubvira pakutanga kwenguva nendudzi, asi zvino chakaratidzwa vatsvene vake;

27kuna ivo Mwari waakada kuvazivisa upfumi hwokubwinya kwechakavanzika ichochi pakati pavahedheni, chokuti, Kristu mukati menyu, tariro yokubwinya;

28iye watinoparidza isu, tichirayira munhu mumwe nomumwe, tichidzidzisa munhu mumwe nomumwe nouchenjeri hwose, kuti tiise munhu mumwe nomumwe akakwana muna Kristu;
