1 VaKorinde 9:16-23

Nokuti kana ndichiparidza Vhangeri, handina chandingazvirumbidza nacho, nokuti ndinorovererwa; ndine nhamo, kana ndisingaparidzi Vhangeri. Nokuti kana ndichizviita ndichida ini, ndino mubayiro; asi kana ndichizviita ndisingadi, ndakapiwa hangu utariri. Zvino mubayiro wangu ndoweiko? Ndiwo, kuti kana ndichiparidza Vhangeri, ndivigire vanhu Vhangeri vasingaripi, kuti ndirege kuzvibatira pandaigona napo nesimba randinaro reVhangeri. Nokuti kunyange ndakasununguka kuna vose, ndakazviita muranda wavose, kuti ndiwane vazhinji kwazvo. KuvaJudha ndakava somuJudha, kuti ndiwane vaJudha; kuna vari pasi pomurayiro, kunyange ndisati ndiri pasi pomurayiro hangu, kuti ndiwane vari pasi pomurayiro; kuna vasina murayiro, ndakava somunhu asina murayiro, kunyange ndisati ndiri munhu asina murayiro waMwari, asi pasi pomurayiro waKristu, kuti ndiwane vasina murayiro. Kuna vasina simba ndakava asina simba, kuti ndiwane vasina simba; ndakava zvose kuvanhu vose, kuti ndiponese vamwe nemitoo yose. Zvinhu zvose ndinozviita nokuda kweVhangeri, kuti ndigoverwe iyo pamwechete navamwe.
