¹ Njewe nabonye biboneye ko ntagaruka iwanyu mubabaye . ² Kuko niba ari njewe ubababaje , ninde si ushoboye kunshinja , atari uwo nababaje ? ³ Nabandikiye bino kugira ngo , ningera iyo , ntazababazwa n'agahinda kubera wa wundi ushoboye kumbera ibyishimo . Mwese mbafitiye ibyo byiringro , ibyishimo byanje n'ibyanyu mwese . ⁴ Narabandikiye mbabaye cane , umutima guzuye agahinda kenshi ,mfite amarira kangari . Ntaho nshaka kubatera agahinda , ariko nukugira ngo mumenye urukundo ruhebuje mbafitiye . ⁵ Niba hariho umuntu wobatera agahinda , ntaho ari njewe yababaje gusa ariko mwese , ariko ntaho ari mwese , kugira ngo ntakabya . ⁶ Ibitutsi uwo muntu yabonye n'abantu benshi birahagije . ⁷ Kugira ngo mumubabarire no kumuhumuriza aticwa n'agahinda karenze . ⁸ Kubera ibyo ,ndabasabye ko mumwereka urukundo. ⁹ Kuko narabandikiye ngo menye, ndi kubagerageza , niba mwumviraga muri byose . ¹⁰ Niba hariho uwo mubabariye nanje ndamubabariye , kandi mu uruhande rumwe , ni ukubera mwewe imbere ya Kristo . ¹¹ Kugira ngo tudaha shetani inzira ngo atuje hejuru , kuko tuzi twese imipango mibi adufitiye . ¹² Maze kugera i Troa kubera umwaze , naho Imana yari yamfunguriye umuryango , ntaho umutima gwanje ntaho gwaruhutse , kuko ntaho nahasanze Tito , mwene data . ¹³ Nico catumye mbasiga ngenda i Makedonia . ¹⁴ Amashimwe nag'Imana , itumaga dutsindira muri Kristo , kandi akatunyuriramo ngo ahumurize neza abamuzi . ¹⁵ None rero , ku Mana turi amarashi gaboneye ga Kristo, hagati y'abizeye n'abari kurimbuka . ¹⁶ Tubereye bamwe amarashi gurupfu , amarashi gazanaga urupfu , ku bandi turi amarashi gazanaga ubuzima , nonesi ninde wobitugayira? . ¹⁷ Kuko ntaho tumeze nka ba bandi benshi bazambije ijambo ry'Imana , kandi turi kugamba ukuri dutumwe n'Imana , turi mbere y' Imana n'imbere ya Kristo .
