Tikukulalikirani za Mawu a moyo amene analipo kuyambira pachiyambi, amene tinawamva, amene tinawaona ndi maso athu, amene tinawapenyetsetsa, ndipo tinawakhudza ndi manja athu.
2 (uye upenyu hwakaratidzwa, tikahuonawo, uye tinopupura nekukuparidzirai upenyu husingaperi, hwakange huna Baba, hukaratidzwawo kwatiri); (aiōnios g166)
Moyowo unaoneka, tinawuona ndipo tikuchitira umboni. Tikukulalikirani za moyo wosatha umene unali ndi Atate ndipo unaonekera kwa ife. (aiōnios g166)
3 icho chatakaona nekunzwa, tinokuparidzirai, kuti nemwi mudyidzane nesu; uyewo kudyidzana kwedu kuripo naBaba, uye neMwanakomana wavo Jesu Kristu;

5 Zvino iri ishoko ratakanzwa kwaari uye ratinoparidza kwamuri, kuti Mwari chiedza, uye maari hamuna rima zvachose.
Uthenga umene tinamva kwa Iye ndipo tikuwulalikira kwa inu ndi uwu: Mulungu ndiye kuwunika ndipo mwa Iye mulibe mdima konse.
