Context
7Vivyo hivyo ninyi waume, kaeni na wake zenu kwa akili, nanyi wapeni heshima mkitambua ya kuwa wao ni wenzi walio dhaifu, na kama warithi pamoja nanyi wa kipawa cha neema cha uzima, ili kusiwepo na chochote cha kuzuia maombi yenu. 8Hatimaye, ninyi nyote kuweni na nia moja, wenye kuhurumiana, mkipendana kama ndugu, na mwe wasikitivu na wanyenyekevu. 9Msilipe ovu kwa ovu, au jeuri kwa jeuri, bali barikini, kwa maana hili ndilo mliloitiwa ili mpate kurithi baraka. 10Kwa maana,
“Yeyote apendaye uzima
na kuona siku njema,
basi auzuie ulimi wake usinene mabaya,
na midomo yake isiseme hila. 11Mtu huyo lazima aache uovu, akatende mema;
lazima aitafute amani na kuifuatilia sana.
