23 Asi uchenjere kuti urege kudya ropa, nokuti ropa ndihwo upenyu, naizvozvo haufaniri kudya upenyu pamwe chete nenyama.
Kuphela qaphela ukuthi ungadli igazi, ngoba igazi liyimpilo; ngakho kawuyikudla impilo kanye lenyama.
24 Haufaniri kudya ropa, uriteurire pasi semvura.
Ungalidli, uzalichithela emhlabathini njengamanzi.

31 Hamufaniri kushumira Jehovha Mwari wenyu nenzira yavo, nokuti mukushumira vamwari vavo, vanoita zvinhu zvose zvose zvinonyangadza zvinovengwa naJehovha. Vanopisa kunyange vanakomana navanasikana vavo mumoto sezvibayiro kuna vamwari vavo.
Kawuyikwenza njalo eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho; ngoba konke okunengekayo eNkosini, ekuzondayo, zikwenzile kubonkulunkulu bazo; ngoba ngitsho amadodana azo lamadodakazi azo zibatshisile ngomlilo kubonkulunkulu bazo.
32 Munofanira kuita zvose zvandakakurayirai; musawedzera pazviri kana kubvisa kubva pazviri.
Yonke into engililaya ngayo, qaphelani ukuyenza; ungengezeleli kuyo, futhi ungaphunguli kuyo.
