Nokuti ndaida kuti ini ndimene ndive munhu akatukwa, akaparadzaniswa naKristu nokuda kwehama dzangu, ivo vorudzi rwangu panyama; ndivo vaIsiraeri; kuva vana, nokubwinya, nesungano, nokupiwa murayiro, nokunamata Mwari, nezvipikirwa, ndezvavo; madzibaba ndaavo, naKristu akabva kwavari panyama, ari pamusoro pavose, Mwari anokudzwa nokusingaperi. Ameni. Asi handiti shoko raMwari rakakona. Nokuti vakabva kuvaIsiraeri havazi vaIsiraeri vose; navari vorudzi rwaAbhurahamu havazi vana vake vose; asi zvinonzi, “Kuna Isaka ndiko kuchatumidzwa rudzi rwako.” Ndokuti havazi vana venyama vari vana vaMwari; asi vana vokupikirwa, ndivo vanonzi rudzi.
