"Ishe ndiye mubatsiri wangu,

Ndinochaba,

munhu anondiiteiko?"

7 Yeukai vatungamiriri venyu, vakarevo vadokuparidzirai shoko raMwari; cherechedzai kuguma kwoupenyu hwavo, motevera kutenda kwavo. 8 Jesu Khirisitu anogara adodaro nezuro, nasi nokusingapere. 9 Rekai kutsambutsiwa nodzimwe dzidziso dzisingazikane, nokuti zvidonaka kuti mwoyo usimbisiwe nomutsa, aikona nozvokuja zvidoyeresewa, zvisinai kubatsira ivo vanozvija.
