Naizvozvo, vadikanwi vangu, sezvamakateerera nguva dzose, ndisati ndiripo bedzi, asi zvikuru zvino kana ndisipo, pedzisai kuponeswa kwenyu nokutya nokudedera; nokuti ndiye Mwari anoita mukati menyu kuda nokuita nokuda kwake kwakanaka. Itai zvose musinganyunyuti musina nharo; kuti muve vanhu vasina chavangapomerwa, navasina kusarurama, vana vaMwari vasina mhosva pakati porudzi rwakakombama, rwakatsauka, rwamunoonekwa pakati parwo sezviedza panyika; makabatisisa shoko roupenyu, kuti ndive nechandingazvirumbidza nacho nezuva raKristu, ndizive kuti handina kumhanya pasina, kana kubata basa pasina.
