35 Asi mumwe angabvunza achiti, “Ko vakafa vanomutswa seiko? Vachauya nomuviri wakaita seiko?” 36 Upenzi hwakadii! Chaunodyara hachingameri kana chisina kufa. 37 Kana ukadyara haudyari muviri uchazovapo, asi tsanga bedzi, ingava yegorosi kana chimwe chinhuwo zvacho. 38 Asi Mwari anoipa muviri sezvaanoda, uye kumbeu imwe neimwe muviri wayo. 39 Nyama yose haina kufanana: Vanhu vane rumwe rudzi rwenyama, mhuka dzinewo rumwe rudzi, shiri rumwewo, uye nehove dzinewo rumwe. 40 Kunewo miviri yokudenga, nemiviri yenyika; asi kubwinya kwemiviri yokudenga ndokumwe kubwinya, kwemiviri yapanyika ndokumwe. 41 Zuva rino kubwinya kwaro, mwedzi unewo kumwe, nenyeredzi dzinewo kumwe; uye nyeredzi haifanani neimwe nyeredzi pakubwinya. 42 Ndizvo zvazvichazova pakumuka kwavakafa. Muviri unodyarwa unoparara, unomutswa usisaparari; 43 unodyarwa pakuzvidzwa, unomutswa mukubwinya; unodyarwa muutera, unomutswa musimba; 44 unodyarwa uri muviri wenyama, unomutswa uri muviri womweya. Kana kuno muviri wenyama, kune muviri womweyawo. 45 Naizvozvo kwakanyorwa kuchinzi: “Munhu wokutanga Adhamu akazova munhu mupenyu;” Adhamu wokupedzisira, mweya unopa upenyu. 46 Mweya hauna kuuya pakutanga, asi nyama, uye mushure mezvo mweya. 47 Munhu wokutanga akanga ari guruva renyika, munhu wechipiri akanga achibva kudenga. 48 Sezvakanga zvakaita munhu wapanyika, ndizvowo zvakaita vaya vari venyika; uyewo sezvakaita munhu akabva kudenga, ndizvo zvakaitawo vaya vari vokudenga. 49 Uye sezvatakanga tine mufananidzo womunhu wapanyika, saizvozvowo tichava nomufananidzo womunhu akabva kudenga. 50 Zvino, hama, ndinoti kwamuri nyama neropa hazvingagari nhaka youmambo hwaMwari, uye zvinoparara hazvingagari nhaka yezvisingaparari. 51 Teererai, ndinokutaurirai chakavanzika: Hatingafi tose, asi tose tichashandurwa, 52 sokupenya, mukubwaira kweziso, nehwamanda yokupedzisira. Nokuti hwamanda icharira, vakafa vachamutswa mukusaparara, uye tichashandurwa. 53 Nokuti chinoparara chinofanira kufuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chinofanira kufuka kusafa. 54 Kana chinoparara chikafuka kusaparara, uye chinofa chikafuka kusafa, ipapa tsumo yakanyorwa ichazadziswa yokuti: “Rufu rwakamedzwa nokukunda.” 55 “Kuripiko kukunda kwako iwe rufu? Rwuripiko rumborera rwako, iwe rufu?” 56 Rumborera rwerufu ndicho chivi, uye simba rechivi ndiwo murayiro. 57 Asi Mwari ngaavongwe! Anotipa kukunda kubudikidza naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu. 58 Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, mirai makasimba. Pashayiwe chinhu chingakuzungunusai. Muchishandira Ishe zvikuru nguva dzose, nokuti munoziva kuti kubata basa kwenyu muna She hakungavi pasina.
