I charge thee therefore before God, and before the Lord Iesus Christ, which shall iudge the quicke and dead at that his appearing, and in his kingdome,
2 Paridza shoko; iva wakagadzirira nenguva yakafanira, panguva isakafanira, dzora, tsiura, kurudzira nemoyo murefu wese nedzidziso.
Preach the worde: be instant, in season and out of season: improue, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.
3 Nokuti nguva ichavapo yavacharamba kutendera dzidziso mhenyu, asi zvichienderana nekuchiva kwavo pachavo vachazvivunganidzira vadzidzisi, vachirumwa nzeve;
For the time will come, when they will not suffer wholesome doctrine: but hauing their eares itching, shall after their owne lustes get them an heape of teachers,
4 uye vachafuratidza nzeve dzavo pachokwadi, vachitendeukira kungano.
And shall turne their eares from the trueth, and shalbe giuen vnto fables.
