19 vachivavimbisa rusununguko, ivo pachavo varanda vekuora; nokuti uyo umwe waakundwa naye, ndiyewo waanoitwa muranda kwaari.
20 Nokuti kana vapukunyuka patsvina yenyika kubudikidza neruzivo rwaIshe neMuponesi Jesu Kristu, vanopfekanidzwazve mazviri vachikundwa, zvinhu zvekuguma zvigova kwavari zvakaipa kupfuura zvekutanga.
21 Nokuti zvaiva nani kwavari kuti dai vaiva vasina kuziva nzira yekururama, pakuti vaziva vadzoke kubva pamurairo mutsvene wakakumikidzwa kwavari.
22 Asi zvakaitika kwavari zvedimikira rechokwadi zvinoti: Imbwa yakadzokera kumarutsi ayo pachayo; nehadzi yenguruve yakange yashamba kukuvumburuka mumatope.
