2 asi kunyange takambotambudzika nekuitirwa zvakaipa, sezvamunoziva, paFiripi, takatsunga muna Mwari wedu kutaura kwamuri evhangeri yaMwari pakati pekupikiswa kukuru.

3 Nokuti kurudziro yedu haina kubva pakunyengera, uye haina kubva patsvina, hainawo kubva pamano-mano;

4 asi sezvatakatendiwa naMwari, kuti tibatiswe evhangeri, saizvozvo tinotaura; kwete sekufadza vanhu, asi Mwari anoidza moyo yedu.

5 Nokuti hatina kutongouya nemashoko ekubata kumeso, sezvamunoziva, kana nemano-mano eruchiva; Mwari chapupu;

6 tisingatsvaki rukudzo kuvanhu, kana rwunobva kwamuri kana kuvamwe, kunyange taigona kukuremedzai sevaapositori vaKristu.

7 Asi taiva tiri vanyoro pakati penyu, semureri achivaraidza vana vake;

8 sezvatinokushuvai kwazvo, takada zvikuru kukupai kwete evhangeri yaMwari chete, asi mweya yeupenyu yedu pacheduwo, nokuti maiva muri vadikanwi kwatiri.

9 Nokuti munorangarira, hama, kushingaira nekurwisa kwedu; nokuti taibata siku nesikati, kuti tisava mutoro kune umwe wenyu, takakuparidzirai evhangeri yaMwari.

10 Imwi muri zvapupu, naMwari, kuti taiva vatsvene sei uye takarurama tisina chatingapomerwa kwamuri vanotenda.

11 Sezvamunoziva kuti umwe neumwe wenyu, sababa kuvana vavo, takakukurudzirai sei nekunyaradza nekupupura,

12 kuti mufambe zvakafanira Mwari, anokudanirai kuushe hwake nekubwinya.

13 Nekuda kwaizvozvi nesu hatimiri kuvonga Mwari, kuti pamakagamuchira shoko raMwari ramakanzwa kwatiri, makarigamuchira kwete seshoko revanhu, asi seriri chokwadi, shoko raMwari rinoshandawo mamuri imwi munotenda.

14 Nokuti imwi, hama, makava vateveri vemakereke aMwari ari muJudhiya muna Kristu Jesu; nokuti imwiwo makatambudzika zvakadaro kune vekwenyu momene, sezvavakatambudzwa ivowo nevaJudha,

15 ndivowo vakauraya Ishe Jesu nevaporofita vavo vomene, vakatishushawo isu, vasingafadziwo Mwari, uye vachipesana nevanhu vose,

16 vachitidzivisa kutaurira vahedheni kuti vaponeswe, kuti vagare vachizadzisa zvivi zvavo; asi hasha dzakasvika pamusoro pavo kusvika pakuguma.

20 Nokuti imwi muri kubwinya nemufaro wedu.
