6 Uyo wese anokonzera umwe wovadiki vakareva vanotenda kwandiri kuti atadze, hasa kutoti guyo rikuru risungirihwe muhuro mache achudumutsiwe kumagwinakwina kwogungwa. 7 "Nhamu kunyika nondava yomiedzo inokonzera vanhu kutadza! Muedzo inofanira kuuya zvayene, asi nhamu kumunhu anoiwuyisa!

8 Futi kana ruoko rako kana kuti tsoka ichikonzera kuti utadze, igwate uitaye! Hasa kupinda muupenyu udoremara kana kuti udogwatika panokuti ukhandiwe mumoto usingapere unomaoko mairi notsoka dziiri. 9 Kana ziso rako richikukonzera kutadza, ritokonore uritaye, hasa kwauri kupinda muupenyu uno ziso ribodzi panokuti ukhandiwe mugehena romoto unomaziso mairi.

10 "Onai kuti munozvidzaba umwe wovadiki vakareva. Ndava ndinokunyepai kuti ngirozi dzavo kudenga dzinenge dziripo panaBaba vangu vari kudenga. 11 Ndava Mwanakomana woMunhu adouya koponesa adotaika.

15 Kana hama yako yakutadzira, enda komuudza uyanga hwache, muri pauviri hwenyu. Kana akakutetekera, wazviwanira hama yako. 16 Asi kana waramba kukutetekera, tora umwe kana vairi muende mese, kuti nyaya yese isimbisiwe noupfakazi hwovairi kana vatatu. 17 Kana akaramba kuvatetekera, zviudze kherekhe, kana akaramba kutetekera nokherekheyo, mutorei kunge wokunze kana muteresi.

18 Chokwadi ndinoti kwamuri, chese chamunosunga panyika chichasungiwa kudenga, nochamunosugudura panyika chichasuguduhwa kudenga.

19 Pakare ndinoti kwamuri, kana vairi venyu mukabvumirana panyika pamusoro pochinhu chipi zvachene chamunokumbira, muchachiitihwa naBaba vangu vari kudenga. 20 Ndava panoungana vairi kana vatatu muzita rangu, pakarepo ndiripo pakati pavo."
