1 Uye zvino, zvakaitika kuti mushure mekunge Abhinadhai ataura mazwi aya akatambanudza ruoko rwake akati: Nguva ichasvika yekuti vose vachaona ^aruponeso rwaIshe; apo rwose rwudzi, hama, ndimi, uye nevanhu vachawirirana ^bvagoreurura pamberi paMwari kuti kutonga kwavo kwakanaka.

2 Uye ndipo ^apacharaswa vakaipa, uye vachave nechikonzero chekuwuwura, ^bnokuchema, nokurungaira, nokugedageda mazino avo, zvose izvi zvichikonzerwa nokuti havana kuda kuteerera izwi raIshe; naizvozvo Ishe havana kuvanunura.

3 Nokuti vanoita ^azvenyama ndivana dhiabhorosi, uye ^bdhiabhorosi ane simba pavari; hongu, kana nyoka iya ^cyakanyengedza vabereki vedu vekutanga, chakave ndicho chikonzero ^dchokupunzika kwavo; chakave ndicho chikonzero chakaita kuti vanhu vaite zvenyama, unhubu, udhiabhorosi, ^evachiziva zvakaipa nezvakanaka, vachiteerera kune zvinodiwa nadhiabhorosi.

4 Ndiko ^akurasika kwakaita vanhu vose; uye tarisai, vangadai vakarasika zvachose dai pasina kuti Mwari vakanunura vanhu vavo mukupunzika nekurasika kwavo.

5 Asi rangarirai kuti uyo anoramba ari muzvinhu ^azvenyama, achitevedza nzira dzezvitadzo nekupandukira Mwari, anogara akapunzika uye dhiabhorosi ane simba rose pamusoro pake. Saka achaita sekusina kumbove ^bnerununuro rwakaitwa, ari muvengi waMwari; uye ariwo dhiabhorosi muvengi waMwari.

6 Uye zvino dai Kristu akanga asina kuuya munyika, achitaura nezvinhu zvichauya ^asekunge zvakatouya kare, kungadai kusina rununuro.

7 Uye dai Kristu akanga asina kumuka kuvakafa, kana dai asina kudimbura majoto erufu kuti guva rishaye kukunda, kuti rufu rwusave ^achironda, kungadai kusina kumuka kwevakafa.

8 Asi kune ^akumuka kwevakafa, naizvozvo guva harina kukunda, uye chironda ^bcherufu chikamedzwa munaKristu.

9 Ndiye ^achiedza neupenyu hwenyika; hongu, chiedza chisingapere, chisingasvibiswe; hongu, neupenyuwo husingapere, kuti hakuchazova nerufu.

10 Kana muviri unofa uyu uchapfekedzwa ^akusafa, uye kuora uku kuchapfekedzwa kusaora, uye vachaitwa kuti ^bvamire pamberi pechigaro chekutonga chaMwari, kuti ^cvagotongwa maererano nemabasa avo kuti akanaka here kana kuti akaipa—

11 Kana vakanaka, kusvika pakumutswa kuvakafa muupenyu ^ahusingaperi nerufaro; uye kana akaipa, kusvika mukumutswa kuvakafa mukuraswa ^bkusingaperi, vachitumirwa kuna dhiabhorosi, akavaita varanda, kuri kuraswa—

12 Vafamba maererano nokuda kwenyama dzavo nezvido zvavo; vasina kumbodaidza Ishe apo maoko etsitsi akange akatambanudzirwa kwavari; nokuti maoko ^aetsitsi akanga akatambanudzirwa kwavari, asi vakaaramba; vakayambirwa nokuipa kwavo asi havana kubva kwazviri; vakaudzwa kuti vatendeuke asi havana kuda kutendeuka.

13 Uye zvino, hamufanire kubvunda here nokutendeuka kubva muzvitema zvenyu, uye murangarire kuti munoponeswa chete kana muri munaKristu?

14 Naizvozvo, kana muchidzidzisa ^amutemo waMosesi, makafanira kudzidzisawo kuti mufananidzo wezvinhu zvichauya—

15 Vadzidzisei kuti rununuro rwunouya nekuna Kristu Ishe, vanove ndivo Baba ^aVokusingaperi. Ameni.
