Nokuti baba sezvavano upenyu mavari, saizvozvowo vakapa Mwanakomana, kuti ave noupenyu maari. Vakamupa simba rokutonga, zvaari Mwanakomana womunhu. “Musashamiswa naizvozvo; nokuti nguva inouya, nayo vose vari mumabwiro vachanzwa izwi rake, vachabuda; avo vakaita zvakanaka, kukumuka kwoupenyu, avo vakaita zvakaipa, kukumuka kwokutongwa.
