[1] Iri jambo ni iryo kwizerwa; umuntu ni yagomba kuzezwa ishengero, aba yifuje igikorwa ciza.
[2] Nuko umuzezwashengero akwiye kutabako umugayo, kandi akwiye kuba umugabo afise umugore umwe gusa; abe uwutarenza urugero, yitonda, aganza ingeso ziwe, akunda gutanga indaro, afise ubwenge bwo kwigisha,
[3] atari umunoho w'umuvinyu, canke umusinzi, ariko abe umugwaneza, atitoraguza, atari inkunzi y'amahera,
[4] aganza neza abo mu rugo rwiwe, abana biwe bamwumvira, yanka umugayo wose.
[5] (Uwutazi kuganza abo mu rugo rwiwe yoshobora ate kuzigama ishengero ry'Imana?)
[6] Kandi ntakwiye kuba muto mu kwizera, kugira ngo ntiyikakishe, ngo atembe, agacirwako iteka wa mugarariji yaciriweko.
[7] Kandi akwiye gushingirwa intahe neza n'abo hanze, kugira ngo ntatembere mu mugayo no mu mutego wa wa mugarariji.
[8] Kandi n'abadiyakoni b'ishengero na bo nyene, bakwiye kuba inyankamugayo batavuga indimi zibiri, kandi ntibabe abatwawe n'umuvinyu mwinshi, canke abifuza inyungu mbi.
[9] Ariko bagumye ibanga ry'ukwizera, bafise imitima itarimwo ijwi ribagiriza ikibi.
[10] Kandi abo babanze kumenyerezwa, maze ni batabonekako umugayo babone gukora igikorwa c'ibango ryabo.
[11] N'abagore nyene babe inyankamugayo, batarementaniriza abandi, batarenza urugero, bizigirwa muri vyose.
[12] Umukozi w'ishengero wese abe umugabo afise umugore umwe gusa, aganza neza abana biwe n'abo mu rugo rwiwe.
[13] Kuko abakoze neza ico gikorwa c'ibango ryabo bironkera ikibanza c'iteka n'umwidegemvyo mwinshi mu kwizera Kristo Yesu.
[14] Nkwandikiye ivyo, nizigiye ko nzoza i wawe vuba.
[15] Ariko ni naba ngitevye ni ukugira ngo uzomenye uko bikwiye kugenzwa mu ngoro y'Imana, ni yo shengero ry'Imana nzima, vyongeye ni yo nkingi ishigikiye ukuri.
[16] Nta wuhakana yuko ibanga ryo kwubaha Imana ridahambaye cane, ni iri: umwe yerekanywe afise umubiri, akaboneka ko ari umugororotsi mu mpwemu, akabonwa n'abamarayika, akamenyekanishwa mu banyamahanga, akizererwa mw'isi, akaduzwa agahabwa ubwiza.
