¹⁷N'dala ojho akan'kesya Paulo pamonga ni tete, akajha ipiga kelele ni kujobha, “Abha bhagosi ndo bhatumishi bha K'yara jha ajhe mbaha, bhabhikabhatangasila muenga habari jha wokovu.”

¹⁸Abhombi naha kwa magono ghamehele, lakini Paulo akajha adadili ni litendo e'lu, ageuki kunyuma ni kun'jobhela pepo'”Nikuamuru kwa lihina lya Yesu umhokayi mugati mwa muene.” Niliene likabhoka ni kundeka mara moja.

¹⁹Mabwana bha muene bho bhabhuene jha kujha tumaini lya faida jha bhene libhokili, bhabhakamuili Paulo ni Sila ni kubhabunisya mu soko mbele jha bhenye mamlaka.
