1 Hama, inini, hama, ndaikonaba kukunyairirai sevanhu vomweya, asi sevanhu vomunyika, sevadiki muna Khirisitu. 2 Ndidokupasai mukaka, aikona zvokuja zvidosimba, ndava manga munati mava kuzvikona. Kana namanje hamunati mava kukona, 3 ndava muchiri vanhu vonyika. Ndava kana pachinochanje nokudhonzerana pakati penyu, hamusi vanhu vonyika nai? Muchiita kunge vanhuwo zvavo? 4 Ndava kana umwe achiti, "Inini ndinotevera Phauro," noumwe achiti, "Inini ndinotevera Aporo," hamusi vanhuwo zvavo nai? 5 Anga Aporo chiiko? Phauro chiiko? Vanondova varanda vadokuitai kuti mutende, sematumihwo yadoitiwa umwe noumwe naIshe. 6 Inini ndidojara mbeu, Aporo adodiridza, asi Mwari ndiye adokurisa. 7 Saka anotimbikira noanodiridza havasi chinhu, asi anokosha ndiMwari basi anokurisa. 8 Anotimbikira noanodiridza vano chinangwa chibodzi. Asi umwe noumwe achatambira mubairo wache maererano nomashandiro yache. 9 Ndava tiri vashandi pabodzi naMwari, muri munda waMwari,

chivakwa chaMwari. 10 Maererano nonyasha dzaMwari dzandidopasiwa, semuvakhi anouseza ndidoronga nheyo, uye umwe munhu ari kuvakha pamusoro payene. Munhu mbaachenjere kuti anovakha tini pamusoro payene. 11 Ndava hapanai imwe nheyo ingarongewe nomunhu kunze kwoyakareyo idorongewa, inova Jesu Khirisitu. 12 Zvino kana munhu achivakha panheyo nondarama, sirivha, mabhwe yanokosha, mapango, mashanga, kana usva, 13 basa romunhu umwe noumwe richanangidziwa. Ndava Musi iwoyo uchariisa pachenu, ndava richanangidziwa nomoto. Moto uchaedza basa ridoitiwa noumwe noumwe kuti ridoita tini. 14 Kana basa ridovakhiwa nomunhu pamusoro ponheyo rikapona, achatambira mubairo. 15 Kana basa romunhu rikatsva, acharasikihwa, asi iye achaponesewa zvache, asi seuye waburiwa mumoto.

16 Munozivaba nai kuti muri imba yaMwari yaMwari uye kuti Mweya waMwari unogara mamuri? 17 Kana munhu achiparadza imba yaMwari yaMwari, Mwari achamuparadza. Ndava imba yaMwari yaMwari itsvene, uye imba yaMwari yacho ndimi vakaremi peno.

18 Munhu mbaarege kuzvinyengedza. Kana munhu pakati penyu achifunga kuti adochenjera munguwa ino, mbaave dzemwa kuti ave adochenjera. 19 Ndava uchenjeri hwonyika ino udzemwa kuna Mwari. Ndava kudonyohwa kuti, "Anobata vadochenjera mumambere yavo," 20 uye gwaro rinotiwo, "Ishe vanoziva kuti mifungo yovadochenjera hapanai zviripo." 21 Saka hapanai anofanira kuzvirumbidza pamusoro pomunhu. Ndava zvinhu zvese nzvenyu. 22 Angave Phauro kana Aporo kana Kefasi kana nyika kana upenyu kana ipfa kana zvazvino kana zvichauya, zvese nzvenyu, 23 naimipa muri vache Khirisitu, naKhirisitu ngwaMwari.
