[18] Musengere muri Mpwemu ibihe vyose, mu buryo bwose bwo gusenga no kwinginga, kandi ivyo mubibere maso, mukobeje rwose, musengera abera bose.
[19] Kandi nanje nyene munsengere, kugira ngo mpabwe insiguro uko mvuze kwose, namamaze nshirutse amazinda ibanga ry'ubutumwa bwiza,
[20] kuko ndi intumwa yabwo iboheshejwe umunyororo, nsigure ivyabwo nshize amazinda, nk'uko bimbereye kuvuga.
[21] Kandi Tukiko, umuvukanyi nkunda, umukozi w'umwizigirwa mu vy'Umwami wacu, azobiganira vyose, kugira ngo mumenye ivyanje, uko meze.
[22] Ni we ndabatumyeko kubwo ivyo nyene, ngo mumenye ivyacu, kandi ngo aremeshe imitima yanyu.
