1 Teverai muenzaniso wangu, sezvandinotevera muenzaniso waKristu.
Zvinofanira kuitwa paKunamata
2 Ndinokurumbidzai nokuti munondirangarira pazvinhu zvose, uye muchichengeta dzidziso, sezvandakakudzidzisai.
3 Zvino ndinoda kuti muzive kuti musoro womurume wose ndiKristu, uye musoro womukadzi murume, uye musoro waKristu ndiye Mwari. 4 Murume mumwe nomumwe anonyengetera kana kuprofita musoro wake wakafukidzwa, anoninipisa musoro wake. 5 Uye mukadzi mumwe nomumwe anonyengetera kana kuprofita musoro wake usina kufukidzwa, anoninipisa musoro wake, zvakangofanana nokuva nomusoro wakaveurwa. 6 Kana mukadzi asingafukidzi musoro wake, anofanira kugera bvudzi rake; asi kana zvichinyadzisa mukadzi kuti agerwe bvudzi rake, anofanira kufukidza musoro wake. 7 Murume haafaniri kufukidza musoro wake, sezvo ari mufananidzo nokubwinya kwaMwari; asi mukadzi kubwinya kwomurume. 8 Nokuti murume haana kubva pamukadzi, asi mukadzi ndiye akabva pamurume; 9 uye murume haana kusikirwa mukadzi, asi mukadzi ndiye akasikirwa murume. 10 Nokuda kwechikonzero ichi, uye nokuda kwavatumwa, mukadzi anofanira kuva nechiratidzo chesimba pamusoro wake.
11 Kunyange zvakadaro, muna She mukadzi haazi kunze kwomurume, nomurume haazi kunze kwomukadzi. 12 Nokuti mukadzi sezvaakabva pamurume, saizvozvowo murume anozvarwa nomukadzi asi zvose zvinobva kuna Mwari. 13 Tongai imi pachenyu kuti: Zvakafanira here kuti mukadzi anyengetere kuna Mwari asina kufukidza musoro wake? 14 Ko, hamudzidziswi namasikirwo ezvinhu kuti kana murume ane bvudzi refu, anonyadziswa nazvo here, 15 asi kuti kana mukadzi ane bvudzi refu, ndiko kubwinya kwake? Nokuti bvudzi refu rakapiwa kwaari kuti rive chifukidzo. 16 Zvino kana pane anoda kuita gakava pazviri, hatina tsika dzakadaro kunyange kereke dzaMwari.
Chirariro chaShe
17 Pane zvakarayirwa zvinotevera handikurumbidzei, nokuti hamuunganiri zvakanaka asi zvakaipa. 18 Chokutanga, ndakanzwa kuti pamunoungana pamwe chete sekereke, pane kupesana pakati penyu, uye ndingangozvitenda. 19 Nokuti dzidziso dzakatsaukana dzinofanira kuva pakati penyu, kuti zvionekwe kuti vakatendeka kuna Mwari ndavapi. 20 Pamunoungana, hachisi chirariro chaShe chamunodya, 21 nokuti kana modya, mumwe nomumwe wenyu anongotanga kudya asingamiriri vamwe. Mumwe anosara ane nzara, mumwewo anodhakwa. 22 Ko, hamuna dzimba kwamungadyira nokunwira here? Kana kuti munozvidza kereke yaMwari nokunyadzisa vasina chinhu here? Zvino ndichatiiko kwamuri? Ndingakurumbidzai nokuda kwaizvozvi here? Zvirokwazvo kwete!
23 Nokuti ndakagamuchira kubva kuna She icho chandakakupai kuti Ishe Jesu, usiku hwaakapandukirwa, akatora chingwa, 24 uye mushure mokunge avonga, akachimedura akati, “Uyu ndiwo muviri wangu, unomedurirwa imi; itai izvi muchindirangarira.” 25 Saizvozvowo, mushure mechirariro akatora mukombe, achiti, “Mukombe uyu ndiwo sungano itsva muropa rangu; itai izvi nguva dzose kana muchiunwa, muchindirangarira.” 26 Nokuti nguva dzose kana muchidya chingwa ichi nokunwa mukombe uyu, munoparidza rufu rwaShe kusvikira achidzoka.
27 Naizvozvo ani naani anodya chingwa nokunwa mukombe waShe nomutoo usina kufanira achabatwa nemhosva yokutadzira muviri neropa raShe. 28 Munhu anofanira kuti azviedze asati adya chingwa nokunwa mukombe. 29 Nokuti ani naani anodya nokunwa asingacherechedzi muviri waShe anozvidyira nokuzvinwira kutongwa kwake. 30 Ndokusaka vazhinji pakati penyu vasina simba uye vachirwara, uye vamwe venyu vavete. 31 Asi kana tikazviedza pachedu, hatingazotongwi. 32 Kana tikatongwa naShe, tiri kurangwa kuitira kuti tirege kuzoraswa pamwe chete nenyika.
33 Saka naizvozvo, hama dzangu, kana muchiungana pakudya, miriranai. 34 Kana mumwe aine nzara, anofanira kudya kumba kwake, kuitira kuti pamunoungana pamwe chete murege kutongwa.
Uye kana ndichinge ndasvika ndichakudzidzisai zvimwe.
