4 Ntimukavuge amagambo ateye isoni cyangwa amateshwa, cyangwa amahomvu ahubwo mujye muvuga ibishimisha Imana.
5 Mumenye ibi: umusambanyi wese n’ukora ibiteye isoni n’umunyamururumba (ni cyo kimwe no gusenga ibigirwamana), abo bose nta munani bazagira mu bwami bwa Kristo n’ubw’Imana.
6 Ntihakagire umuntu ubashukisha amagambo y’imburamumaro, kuko ibimeze bityo ari byo bituma Imana irakarira abatayumvira.
7 Nuko rero muramenye ntimugafatanye na bo.
8 Kera mwahoze mu mwijima, ariko none ubu muri mu mucyo kubera Nyagasani. Nuko rero mujye mugenza nk’abari mu mucyo koko.
9 Erega umucyoni wo sōko y’ingeso nziza zose n’ubutungane n’ukuri!
10 Mushishoze maze mumenye ibishimisha Nyagasani.
11 Ntimukagire uruhare mu bikorwa by’imburamumaro bikorerwa mu mwijima, ahubwo mujye mubishyira ahagaragara.
12 Erega ibyo bakora rwihishwa no kubivuga biteye isoni!

14 kuko umucyo utuma byose biboneka. Ni cyo gituma bivugwa ngo:
“Wowe usinziriye kanguka,

15 Muzirikane rero imigenzereze yanyu mutagenza nk’injiji, ahubwo mugenze nk’abanyabwenge,
16 mukoresha neza igihe mufite kuko iyi minsi ari mibi.
17 Noneho rero, ntimukabe abapfu, ahubwo mujye mumenya neza ibyo Nyagasani ashaka.
