[1] Ni co gituma tutihebura, kuko dufise ubwo busuku, nk'uko twagiriwe ikigongwe.
[2] Twanse ibiteye isoni bikorerwa mu mpisho, ntitugenda mu bugunge, ntidufudika ijambo ry'Imana, ariko kwerekana ukuri ni kwo twishimagirisha mu maso y'Imana ku mutima w'umuntu wese.
[3] Ariko namba ubutumwa bwiza twahawe butwikirwa, butwikirirwa abahona,
[4] ni bo batizera, bamwe ikigirwamana c'iki gihe cahumye imitima, ngo umuco w'ubutumwa bw'ubwiza bwa Kristo ntubakire, ni we shusho y'Imana.
[5] Kuko tutigisha abantu ivyacu, ariko tubigisha ivya Kristo Yesu ko ari we Mwami, natwe yuko turi abashumba banyu ku bwa Yesu.
[6] Imana, imwe yavuze ngo umuco wake, uvuye mu mwiza, ni yo yakiye mu mitima yacu, kwerekana umuco, ni wo kumenya ubwiza bw'Imana buri mu maso ha Yesu Kristo.
[7] Ariko dufise ubwo butunzi mu nzavya z'ibumba, ngo ubushobozi buhebuje bube ubwo Imana, butavuye kuri twebwe.
[8] Dusugerezwa impande zose, ariko ntidushika mu mpatane; turazazanirwa, ariko ntituranduka umutima;
[9] turahamwa, ariko ntiduhebwa; dukubitwa hasi, ariko ntitugwaho.
[10] Imisi yose tugendana mu mubiri urupfu rwa Yesu, ngo ubugingo bwa Yesu na bwo buserukire mu mubiri wacu.
[11] Kuko twebwe abariho, na ntaryo dutangwa ngo dupfe baduhora Yesu, ngo ubugingo bwa Yesu na bwo buserukire mu mubiri wacu uzopfa.
[12] Nuko rero urupfu rudukoreramwo, ariko ubugingo bubakoreramwo.
[13] Ariko ko dufise uwo mutima wizera, uboneka mu vyanditswe, ngo nizeye, ni co catumye mvuga; natwe nyene turizera, ni co gituma tuvuga.
[14] Kuko tuzi yuko iyazuye Umwami Yesu, natwe izotuzurana na Yesu, kandi izomudushira, twe namwe.
[15] Kuko ivyo vyose biba ku bwanyu, kugira ngo ubuntu bw'Imana bwongeranishwe n'ukugwira kw' abantu, bugwize ishimwe, ngo ritere Imana icubahiro.
[16] Ni co gituma tutihebura; ariko, naho umuntu wacu wo ku rukoba ariko arabora, umuntu wacu w'imbere yama ahinduka musha uko bukeye.
[17] Kuko amarushwa yacu ahwahutse y' akanya ka none yiyongeranije cane kudushikiriza ubwiza buremereye bw'ibihe bidashira.
[18] Natwe ntituraba ku biboneka, ariko turaba ku bitaboneka; kuko ibiboneka ari ivyo igihe gito, ariko ibitaboneka bikaba ivyo ibihe bidashira.
