⁴Wanano ngaikudzwe kune vose, nenhovo irege kusvibiswa; asi mhombwe nezvifeve Mwari uchatonga.

⁴honourable [is] the marriage in all, and the bed undefiled, and whoremongers and adulterers God shall judge.

⁵Mararamiro enyu ngaave ekusakarira mari; gutsikanai nezvinhu zvamunazvo, nekuti iye wakati: Handingatongokurasi kana kukusiya.

⁶Naizvozvo tingatsunga moyo tichiti: Ishe mubatsiri wangu; handingatyi munhu zvaangaita kwandiri.

⁶so that we do boldly say, `The Lord [is] to me a helper, and I will not fear what man shall do to me.`

⁹with teachings manifold and strange be not carried about, for [it is] good that by grace the heart be confirmed, not with meats, in which they who were occupied were not profited;

¹⁰Isu tine aritari, pavasina kodzero yekudya pairi ivo vanoshumira tende.

¹⁰we have an altar, of which to eat they have no authority who the tabernacle are serving,

¹⁷Be obedient to those leading you, and be subject, for these do watch for your souls, as about to give account, that with joy they may do this, and not sighing, for this [is] unprofitable to you.

¹⁸Tinyengetererei; nekuti tinovimba kuti tine hana yakanaka, tichida kufamba zvakanaka pazvinhu zvose.

¹⁸Pray for us, for we trust that we have a good conscience, in all things willing to behave well,
