Ahubwo nubere abizigirwa akarorero mu mvugo, mu ngeso, mu rukundo, mu kwizera, mu kutandura*. 13 Mu kurindira ko nza, ugume wijukira gusomera imbere y’abantu+, guhimiriza* no kwigisha. 14 Ntufate minenegwe ingabirano ufise, imwe wahawe biciye ku buhanuzi igihe inama y’abakurambere yakurambikako ibiganza+. 15 Zirikana* ivyo bintu, ubicokeremwo, kugira iterambere ryawe ryibonekeze neza ku bantu bose. 16 Wame wiyubara wewe ubwawe, wiyubare no ku vyo wigisha+. Ushishikare ivyo bintu kuko niwabikora uzokwikiza ugakiza n’abakwumviriza+.
