Nokuti vose vakatadza vasina murayiro, vachaparadzwawo vasina murayiro; vose vakatadza vanomurayiro, vachatongwa nomurayiro; nokuti vanzwi vomurayiro havazi ivo vakarurama pamberi paMwari, asi vaiti vomurayiro ndivo vanoruramiswa; (nokuti kana vahedheni vasina murayiro vachiita pachavo zvinhu zvomurayiro, vava murayiro wavo vamene; nokuti vanoratidza basa romurayiro wakanyorwa mumwoyo yavo, hana yavo ichipupura pamwechete nazvo, nezvavanofunga pakati pavo zvichivapa mhosva kana kuvapembedza;) nezuva iro, Mwari raanozotonga naro zvakavanzika zvavanhu, naJesu Kristu, sezvinoreva Vhangeri yangu. Zvino kana iwe unonzi muJudha, unovimba nomurayiro, unozvirumbidza muna Mwari, unoziva kuda kwake, nokutsaura kuti zvakanaka ndezvipi, uchidzidziswa nomurayiro, unozviti iwe uri mutungamiriri wamapofu, nechiedza chavari murima, nomurayiri wamapenzi, nomudzidzisi wavacheche, zvauno mufananidzo wokuziva nowechokwadi pamurayiro; zvino iwe unodzidzisa mumwe, unoregereiko kuzvidzidzisa?

Neasina kudzingiswa kubva pakuzvarwa kwake, kana achichengeta murayiro, haangakutongi here iwe unodarika murayiro, iwe unomurayiro wakanyorwa, uyewo kudzingiswa? Nokuti uyo haazi muJudha, ari muJudha pakuonekwa chete; nokudzingiswa hakuzi iko kunoonekwa, kuri panyama; asi muJudha ndiye uri muJudha nechomukati; nokudzingiswa ndiko kwomwoyo, mumweya, kusati kuri kwezvakanyorwa; iye haarumbidzwi navanhu, asi naMwari.
