8 Okusooka, nneebaza Katonda wange ku bwa Yesu Kristo ku lwammwe mwenna, kubanga okukkiriza kwammwe kubuulirwa mu nsi zonna.

12 kwe kusanyukagana awamu nammwe olw'okukkiriza kwammwe n'okwange.
13 Era, ab'oluganda, saagala muleme kumanya ng'emirundi mingi nalowoozanga okujja gye muli (ne nziyizibwanga okutuusa kaakano), era ndyoke mbeereko n'ebibala mu mmwe, era nga mu mawanga amalala.
14 Abayonaani era ne bannaggwanga, ab'amagezi era n'abasirusiru, bammanja.
15 Era kyenva njagala okubabuulira enjiri nammwe abali mu Ruumi nga bwe nnyinza.
16 Kubanga enjiri tenkwasa nsonyi: kubanga ge maanyi ga Katonda olw’okulokola eri buli akkiriza okusookera Muyudaaya era n'eri Omuyonaani.
17 Kubanga mu yo obutuukirivu bwa Katonda bubikkulibwa obuva mu kukkiriza okutuusa mu kukkiriza: nga bwe kyawandiikibwa nti Naye omutuukirivu anaabanga mulamu lwa kukkiriza.
18 Kubanga obusungu bwa Katonda bubikkulibwa okuva mu ggulu ku butatya Katonda bwonna n'obutaba na butuukirivu obw'abantu abaziyiza amazima mu butaba na butuukirivu;
19 kubanga ebya Katonda ebimanyika birabika eri bo: kubanga Katonda yabibalabisa.
20 Kubanga ebibye ebitalabika okuva ku kutonda ensi birabikira ddala nga bitegeererwa ku bitonde, obuyinza bwe obutaggwaawo n'obwakatonda bwe; babeere nga tebalina kya kuwoza:

22 Bwe beeyita ab'amagezi, so nga baasiruwala,
23 ne bawaanyisa ekitiibwa kya Katonda ataggwaawo okufaanana ekifaananyi ky'omuntu aggwaawo, n'eky'ebibuuka n'eky'ebirina amagulu ana n'eky'ebyewalula.
24 Katonda kyeyava abawaayo eri obugwagwa mu kwegomba kw'emitima gyabwe, okwonoonanga ekitiibwa ky'emibiri gyabwe bokka na bokka:
25 kubanga amazima ga Katonda baagawaanyisaamu obulimba, ne basinzanga ne baweerezanga ekitonde okusinga Omutonzi, eyeebazibwa emirembe n'emirembe, Amiina.
26 Katonda kyeyava abawaayo eri okukwatibwa okw'ensonyi: kubanga abakazi baabwe baawaanyisa ekikolwa kyabwe eky'obuzaaliranwa ne bakifuula ekitali kya buzaaliranwa:
