25 Nokuti kudzingiswa kunobatsira zvirokwazvo, kana uchiita murairo; asi kana uri mudariki wemurairo, kudzingiswa kwako kwava kusadzingiswa.

26 Naizvozvo kana kusadzingiswa kuchichengeta zviga zvemurairo, kusadzingiswa kwake hakuverengwi kuti kudzingiswa here?

27 Nekusadzingiswa kwepachisikirwo, kana kuchizadzisa murairo, hakungakutongi here iwe mudariki wemurairo nerugwaro uye nekudzingiswa?

28 Nokuti haasi muJudha, ari muJudha rwekunze, kana kudzingiswa kuri kwekunze panyama;
