¹Ni kweli kuti, mundu apinga kubha kalongolele jwa likanisha, anapinga liengo lya mmbone.

²Bhai inapinjikwa kalongolele abhe mundu anakole ilebho ku bhandunji, na analombe matala, na abhe jwa kwiiluma na jwa ishimika, na jwa lunda, na jwa mituka na akombola kujiganya,

³nngabha mundu jwa kolelwa na nngomo, ikabhe abhe jwa kwitimalika na jwangali mitau, na anabhe mundu jwa kunnonyela mbiya,

⁴mundu akombola kulongoya ukoto bhandu bha likaja lyakwe, na akombola kwaatendanga bhaanagwe bhampilikananje na bhakolanje ishima.

⁵Pabha monaga mundu akakombola kwaalongoyanga ukoto bhandu bha likaja lyakwe, shakombole bhuli kulilongoya likanisha lya a Nnungu?

⁶Na kabhili mundu akanabhe kwiishimilika ukoto nngulupai, anaagulwe kubha kalongolele, nngakabha anakwiipuna niukumulwa malinga shatendilwe Lishetani.

⁷Abhe mundu jwa shuma uguja kubhandunji bha kunyenje, nkupinga anagambwe nitanjila nniyau lika Lishetani.

⁸Nneyo peyo na mashemashi nnikanisha bhabhanganje bhandunji bha ishimika, na bhanabhanganje bha malobhe malobhe, na bhanabhanganje bha kolelwa, na bhapinganga mmbiya ya tokomaya,

⁹bhabhanganje bhaakagulilanga ngulupai ya kweli.

¹⁰Kwa nneyo bhatandubhanje kulingwa, kungai bhatendanje liengo lya jangutila nnikanisha, bhabhonekangaga kuti bhangalinji itendi ya nyata.

¹¹Nneyo peyo na ashaakongo bhabhonji, bhabhanganje bhaishimikanga, bhanabhanganje bha lung'wenyi, bhabhanganje bhakwiitimalika, na bhaakulupalikanga kwa kila shindu.

¹²Mashemashi bhanalombanje matala, numbe bhakombolanje kulongoya ashibhana bhabhonji na makaja gabhonji ukoto.

¹³Pabha bhatendanga liengo ukoto nnikanisha, bhanapatanga kushimilika ukoto, nikola mashili ga bheleketa kwa makangala, ga ngulupai yabhonji nkulundana na a Yeshu Kilishitu.

¹⁴Ngunakunnjandishila gegano, akuno nguliganishiya kuti ngakabha kwiya kweneko.

¹⁵Ikabheje monaga ngabhaga kwiya, bhai mmumanyanje shiikupinjikwa bhandu kutama nnikaja lya a Nnungu, yani nnikanisha lya a Nnungu bhakwete gumi, bhali lipoto, na nshingi gwa kweli.

¹⁶Bhai, pangali lipamba lyolyowe ga shinjubhi shikulu sha dini jetu, A Kilishitu bhakoposhele kwa shiilu sha shigundu, gubhakong'ondelwe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo kuti bhakwete aki, gubhabhoneshe na ashimalaika. Gubhalungwiywe ku bhandu bha ilambo ina. Gubhakulupalilwe pa shilambolyo, nigubhanyakwilwe kunani muukonjelo.
