1 Pita 2:11-17

Vadikanwi ndinokukurudzirai savauyi navatorwa kuti musiyane nehavi dzomuviri dzinorwisana nemweya wenyu. Ivai nomugariro wakanaka mukati mevechirudzi kuti kana vakakurevai savanhu vanoita zvakaipa vazoona mabasa enyu akanaka vagorumbidza Mwari paanokushanyirai. Pamusana paTenzi, zviisei pasi pavanhu vakagadzwa ukuru pakati pavanhu, pangave pasi pamambo somukuru mukuru, kana kumasadunhu vaanenge atuma kundoranga vanoita zvakaipa nokurumbidza vanoita zvakanaka. Chikonzero chacho ndechokuti, nokuita zvakanaka munopwisa kutaura kusina maturo kwavanhu vasina zvavanoziva. Garai savanhu vanerusununguko, asi musingasevenzesi rusununguko rwenyu sechinhu chokuhwanda nacho mukuita zvakaipa, asi garai savaranda vaMwari. Remekedzai vanhu vose, idanai navose nevehama. Ityai Mwari, muremekedze mambo.
