7 Mugabo iherezo ry’ibintu vyose riregereje+. Mube abaroranye mu muzirikanyi+ rero, kandi mugume murikanuye ku bw’amasengesho+. 8 Hejuru ya vyose, mugiriranire urukundo rwinshi+, kuko urukundo rupfuka ibicumuro indiri+. 9 Mwakirane ata kwidoga+. 10 Nk’uko umwe wese yaronse ingabirano, muyikoreshe mu gukoreranira nk’ababwiriza beza b’ubuntu ata wari abukwiriye bw’Imana bwerekanwa mu buryo butari bumwe+. 11 Nimba hari uwuvuga, navuge nk’aho yoba avuga amajambo meranda+ y’Imana; nimba hari uwukorera abandi+, nakore nk’aho abihabwa n’inkomezi Imana itanga+; kugira ngo muri vyose Imana ininahazwe+ biciye kuri Yezu Kristu. Ubuninahazwa+ n’ubushobozi ni ivyiwe ibihe bitazoshira. Amen.
12 Bakundwa, ntimuzazanirwe n’umuriro waka muri mwebwe, uwuriko ubashikira ku bw’ukugeragezwa+, nk’aho mwoba muriko mushikirwa n’ikintu c’akatabonetse. 13 Ahubwo, mubandanye kunezerwa+ kuko muri abasangira imibabaro ya Kristu+, kugira ngo munezerwe mwongere musesekare umunezero no mu gihe c’ihishurwa+ ry’ubuninahazwa bwiwe. 14 Nimba mutukwa muhorwa izina rya Kristu+, murahiriwe+, kubera ko impwemu y’ubuninahazwa, mbere impwemu y’Imana, iguma kuri mwebwe+.
15 Ariko ntihagire n’umwe muri mwebwe ababazwa+ ahorwa kuba ari umwicanyi canke igisuma canke inkozi y’ikibi canke uwita+ mu vy’abandi. 16 Mugabo nimba ababazwa+ ahorwa kuba ari umukirisu, ntamaramare+, ahubwo nagume aninahaza Imana muri iryo zina. 17 Kuko ari igihe cashinzwe c’uko urubanza rutangurira ku nzu y’Imana+. Nimba rero rubanza gutangurira kuri twebwe+, none iherezo ry’abatagamburukira inkuru nziza y’Imana rizoba irihe+? 18 “Kandi nimba umugororotsi ariko akizwa bigoranye+, none umuntu atibanga Imana hamwe n’umucumuzi bazoboneka hehe+?” 19 Nuko rero, n’abariko bababazwa mu buryo buhuye n’ukugomba kw’Imana nibagume baragiza ubuzima bwabo Umuremyi w’umwizigirwa mu gihe bariko bakora iciza+.
