⁸ Bayidi ba Yezu ba kumpala bavua bakula tshiena Ebelu, kadi yeye mumane kufua, bayidi bakuabu bakalonda bavua bakula miakulu mikuabu. (Bala Bienzedi 6:1.) Bu muvua lumu luimpe luenda lumuangalaka, bena Kristo ba bungi bavua bakula tshiena Greke pamutu pa tshiena Ebelu. Bu muvua tshiena Greke tshikale muakulu uvua bantu ba bungi bakula, mukanda wa Matayi, Mâko, Luka ne wa Yone yakamuangalaka bikole mu bantu mu tshiena Greke. * (Tangila note.)
