2 VaKorinde 12:5-10

Ndichazvirumbidza pamusoro pomunhu akadai, asi handingazvirumbidzi pachangu, kunze kwoutera hwangu. Kunyange dai ndikasarudza kuzvirumbidza, handingavi benzi nokuti ndinenge ndichitaura chokwadi. Asi ndinorega zvangu, kuitira kuti pashayikwe munhu angafunga kuti ndiri mukuru kupfuura zvandinoita kana zvandinotaura. Kuti ndirege kunyanya kuzvikudza nokuda kwoukuru kwazvo hwezvandakazarurirwa, ndakapiwa munzwa munyama yangu, mutumwa waSatani, kuti unditambudze. Katatu ndakakumbira kuna Ishe kuti aubvise pandiri. Asi iye akati kwandiri, “Nyasha dzangu dzakakukwanira, nokuti simba rangu rinozadziswa muutera.” Naizvozvo ndichanyanya kuzvirumbidza pamusoro poutera hwangu, kuitira kuti simba raKristu rigova pamusoro pangu. Ndokusaka, nokuda kwaKristu ndichifara muutera, mukutukwa, mumatambudziko, munhamo, nomukuomerwa. Nokuti kana ndine utera, ipapo ndipo pandine simba.
