³ Nhoroondo iyi inonakidza inoratidza kutanga kwerudzi rwunonzi Israeri  waMwari, kureva ungano yevaKristu vakazodzwa, chinova chiitiko chinokosha pakunamata kwechokwadi. (VaG. 6:16) Asi hazvigumiri ipapo. Petro paakataura nevanhu vakaungana musi iwoyo, akashandisa kiyi yekutanga ‘pamakiyi eUmambo hwekudenga,’ aakanga apiwa. Imwe neimwe yekiyi idzodzo yaizozarura mukana unokosha kumapoka akasiyana-siyana evanhu.
