13 Saka Kristu aripo akakamuka.+ Ko Pauro akarovererwa nokuda kwenyu here? Kana kuti makabhabhatidzwa+ muzita raPauro here?
14 Ndinoonga Mwari kuti hapana mumwe wenyu wandakabhabhatidza kunze kwaKrispo+ naGayo,+
15 kuti parege kuva neangati makabhabhatidzwa muzita rangu.
16 Chokwadi, ndakabhabhatidzawo imba yaStefanasi.+ Kana vari vamwe vose, handizivi kana paine mumwezve wandakabhabhatidza.
17 Nokuti Kristu haana kundituma+ kuti ndifambe ndichibhabhatidza, asi kuti ndifambe ndichizivisa mashoko akanaka, kwete nouchenjeri hwokutaura,+ kuti danda rokutambudzikira raKristu rirege kuitwa kuti rive risina zvarinobatsira.
18 Nokuti kutaura pamusoro pedanda rokutambudzikira upenzi+ kune vaya vari kuparara,+ asi kwatiri vari kuponeswa,+ isimba raMwari.+
19 Nokuti zvakanyorwa kuti: “Ndichaita kuti uchenjeri hwevanhu vakachenjera huparare,+ uye ndichasundira parutivi+ ungwaru hwevanhu vakangwara.”+
20 Munhu akachenjera ari kupi? Munyori ari kupi?+ Munhu ane nharo+ womumamiriro ezvinhu epanguva ino ari kupi?+ Mwari haana kuita kuti uchenjeri hwenyika ino huve upenzi here?+
21 Nokuti maererano nouchenjeri hwaMwari, nyika zvaisina kusvika pakuziva Mwari+ nouchenjeri hwayo,+ Mwari akaona zvakanaka kuti aponese vaya vanotenda noupenzi+ hwezvinoparidzwa.
22 Nokuti vaJudha vanokumbira zviratidzo+ uye vaGiriki vanotsvaka uchenjeri;+
23 asi isu tinoparidza Kristu akarovererwa,+ izvo zviri chikonzero chokugumbuka kuvaJudha+ asi upenzi kune mamwe marudzi;+
24 zvisinei, kune vaya vakadanwa, vaJudha nevaGiriki, Kristu isimba+ raMwari nouchenjeri+ hwaMwari.
25 Nokuti chinhu chaMwari chinonzi ndechoupenzi chakachenjera kupfuura vanhu, uye chinhu chaMwari chinonzi hachina simba chakasimba kupfuura vanhu.+
26 Nokuti munoona kukudanai kwaakaita, hama, kuti havasi vazhinji vevakachenjera+ panyama vakadanwa,+ havasi vane simba vazhinji,+ havasi vazhinji veimba huru;
27 asi Mwari akasarudza zvinhu zvoupenzi zvenyika,+ kuti anyadzise vanhu vakachenjera; uye Mwari akasarudza zvinhu zvisina simba zvenyika, kuti anyadzise zvinhu zvakasimba;+
28 uye Mwari akasarudza zvinhu zvakaderera zvenyika nezvinhu zvinozvidzwa, zvinhu zvisipo,+ kuti aparadze+ zvinhu zviripo,
29 kuti parege kuva nomunhu angazvirumbidza+ pamberi paMwari.
30 Asi ndiye akaita kuti muve pamwe naKristu Jesu, uyo akava kwatiri uchenjeri+ hunobva kuna Mwari, uyewo kururama+ noutsvene+ nokusunungurwa norudzikinuro;+
31 kuti zvive sokunyorwa kwazvakaitwa kuti: “Anozvirumbidza, ngaazvirumbidze muna Jehovha.”+
