12 Vayi zaba ti, baboso bantomba kusadila Nzambi, mu kithuadi na Yesu Klistu, mvandi bala viokila mu ziphasi.
13 Vayi bankua mambi ayi batu ba luvunu bala luta vanga mambu mambi, bala vuna bankaka ayi baveka bala vunuka.
14 Vayi ngiewu, tatamana mu mambu bakulonga, ayi ba kusadisa kubaka bivisa.
15 Kibila tona mu bumuana buaku, ngie zebi buboti masonoko malenda kusadisa kubaka nduenga ayi kubaka phulusu, mu nzila kiminu mu Yesu Klistu.
16 Masonoko moso masonimina mu thuadusulu yi phevi yi Nzambi, madi nkinza muingi kulonga, kutumbudila, kuludika mambu, kusemba muingi kudiatila mu busonga,
17 muingi kisadi ki Nzambi kaba wuduka ayi wukubama, mu kuvanga kisalu kioso kimboti.
