1 Petro 2:7-10

Zvino kunemi vanotenda, iri ibwe rinokosha. Asi kuna avo vasingatendi, “Ibwe rakaraswa navavaki ndiro rava musoro wekona,” uye, “Ibwe rinogumbusa vanhu nedombo rinoita kuti vawe.” Vanogumburwa nokuti havateereri shoko, zvinova ndizvo zvavakatemerwawo. Asi imi muri vanhu vakasanangurwa, uprista hwamambo, rudzi rutsvene, vanhu vaMwari chaivo, vaakadana kuti muparidze kunaka kwaiye akakudanai kuti mubve murima, muuye muchiedza chake chinoshamisa. Kare makanga musiri vanhu, asi zvino mava vanhu vaMwari; kare makanga musinganzwirwi ngoni, asi zvino makagamuchira ngoni.
