²Kuti mumugamuchire munaShe, sezvinofanira vatsvene, nokumubatsira pazvinhu zvose, zvaangashaiwa; nokuti iye amene wakabatsira vazhinji, neni vo ndimene.That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also.

¹⁸Nokuti vakadaro havabatiri Ishe wedu Jesu Kristu, asi dumbu ravo; vanonyengera moyo yavasina mano namashoko avo akanaka, nokubata kumeso.For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
