Y riyin ntz'ibaj c'a el re wuj re' chiwe riyix ri yix quiy quimam ca ri cablajuj† Hch. 26.7. ruc'ajol ri Israel ri xec'oje' ojer ca, ri ma yixc'o ta chic chupan ri ruwach'ulef ri can iwuche (iwixin) wi riyix, xa pa tak quiruwach'ulef nic'aj chic winek yixc'o wi. Tic'ulu' c'a ri rutzil iwech ri ntek el riyin.

Y ri tijoj pokonal ri' nuc'om pe coch'onic§ Ro. 5.3. chiwe. 4 Y majun bey tiq'uis ta ri coch'onic pa tak iwánima riche (rixin) chi can nuben jun samaj tz'aket,* Mt. 5.48. riche (rixin) chi queri' ri ic'aslen niq'uiy, nitz'aket y man ta c'a nrajo' na juba'.

5 Y wi c'o jun kach'alal chicojol ri nuna' chi c'a c'o na na'oj ri nic'atzin chare, tuc'utuj† 1 R. 3.9; Pr. 2.3; Jn. 15.7. c'a chare ri Dios. Y Riya' can ma xtupokonaj ta xtuya' pe q'uiy. Queri' nuben quiq'ui quinojel ri yec'utun, y majun achique ta xtubij chique. 6 Pero rajawaxic chi can cukul ruc'u'x riq'ui ri Dios tek nuc'utuj, y ma riq'ui ta c'a ca'i' ruc'u'x.‡ Mt. 21.21. Ruma wi xa riq'ui ca'i' ruc'u'x tek nuc'utuj, xa nuben c'a achi'el nuben ri ruwi' ri mar pa ruk'a' ri cak'ik', nibe quela' y nibe quela'. 7 Y ri winek ri xa queri' nuben, man c'a tuch'ob ta chi ri Ajaf Dios xtuya' pe chare ri nuc'utuj. 8 Ruma jun winek wi xa ca'i' ruc'u'x§ Stg. 4.8. tek nuc'utuj chare ri Dios, nik'alajin chi ma cukul ta ruc'u'x riq'ui ri ntajin chubanic.

9 Y ri kach'alal ri majun quik'ij chuwech re ruwach'ulef, xa tiquicot c'a ri cánima ruma can c'o wi quik'ij* Mt. 23.12. chuwech ri Dios ruma can quiniman chic Riya'. 10 Y queri' chuka' ri kach'alal beyoma', xa tiquicot c'a ri cánima ruma k'axnek chiquiwech chi xa majun quik'ij y rajawaxic chi niquikasaj qui' chuwech ri Dios ruma xa ma yeyaloj ta el chuwech re ruwach'ulef, xa ye achi'el jun rusi'j k'ayis.† Is. 40.6; 1 P. 1.24. 11 Ruma ya tek nipe ruchuk'a' ri k'ij, yac'ari' tek ri k'ayis nichaki'j y niq'uis ka.‡ Is. 40.7. Xa nitzak c'a el ri rusi'j y niq'uis, astape' can jabel nitzu'un ri pa nabey mul. Can que wi c'a ri' jun beyon. Riya' xa chanin nicom el y nuya' ca rumolic ri rubeyomal.

12 Jabel c'a ruwaruk'ij ri winek ri can rucukuban ruc'u'x riq'ui ri Dios y nucoch' ri tijoj pokonal§ Mt. 5.11, 12; He. 10.32-34. ri nipe chrij. Ruma tek rucoch'on chic ronojel, ri Dios xtuya' ri lok'olaj sipanic* 2 Ti. 4.8; 1 P. 5.4; Ap. 2.10. chare, ri utzilaj c'aslen ri majun bey xtiq'uis ta. Ya lok'olaj sipanic ri' ri rubin ca ri Dios chi xtuya' chake ri yojajowan riche (rixin). 13 Yac'a wi c'o jun ri nrajo' nuben chawe chi yaka pa mac, man c'a tabij ta chi ya ri Dios ri nibano queri' chawe. Ruma ri Dios can ma nuben ta chare jun winek chi nika pa mac, y chuka' majun nicowin nibano ta chare ri Dios chi nika ta pa mac. 14 Ruma wi riyit nana' raybel chi naben jun mac, ri' xa awuq'ui c'a riyit nipe wi. Xa ya ri itzel tak raybel† Mt. 5.28. ri yec'o awuq'ui ri yebano queri' chawe. 15 Y wi naya' k'ij chare ri itzel tak raybel, chiri' nipe wi ri mac.‡ Sal. 7.14. Y pa ruq'uisbel nuc'om pe ri camic.§ Ro. 5.12.

Achi'el ri k'ij, ri ic' y ri ch'umila', ri niquijalala' qui'. Y xa can xu (xe) wi c'a ri Dios ri ma nijalatej ta.* Nm. 23.19; Mal. 3.6. 18 Y riq'ui ri ruraybel Riya' xuya' jun c'ac'ac'† Jn. 1.13; 3.3, 5. kac'aslen tek xkanimaj ri kas kitzij ruch'abel, y xoj-oc achi'el ri nabey‡ Jer. 2.3; Ap. 14.4. tak cosecha chare ronojel ri ruq'uiytisan ca ri Dios.

19 Rumari', wach'alal ri sibilaj yixinwajo', riyin nbij c'a chiwe chi'ijujunal chi riq'ui ronojel iwánima tiwac'axaj ri ruch'abel ri Dios.§ Ec. 5.1. Can jabel tich'obo' achique ri nubij. Ruma riyix nic'atzin chi jabel iwetaman el nabey, c'ac'ari' nitzijoj. Y chuka' nbij chiwe chi man ta xtipe iwoyowal chanin.* Pr. 14.29. 20 Ruma ri coyowal ri winek xa ma nuc'om ta pe jun c'aslen choj achi'el ri nrajo' ri Dios. 21 Rumac'ari' tiya' ca ronojel ri ma ch'ajch'oj ta y ronojel ri etzelal. Y can tikasaj iwi' chi ninimaj ri ruch'abel ri Dios ri c'o chic pa tak iwánima. Ruma ya ch'abel ri' ri nicolo† Hch. 13.26; Ro. 1.16; Ef. 1.13; He. 2.3. iwuche (iwixin).

22 Y ma xu (xe) ta c'a tiwac'axaj ri ruch'abel ri Dios, xa can tibana'‡ Ro. 2.13. chuka' ri nubij. Ruma wi xa can xu (xe wi) niwac'axaj ri ruch'abel ri Dios y ma niben ta ri nubij, xa iyon riyix nik'ol ka iwi'. 23 Ruma wi c'o jun ri nrac'axaj ri ruch'abel ri Dios, y xa ma nuben ta§ Ez. 33.31. ri nubij, xa junan* Mt. 7.26. c'a riq'ui jun winek ri nutzu' ri' pa jun espejo, can nutzu' wi ri' achique rubanic. 24 Pero tek xa c'a juba' tutzu' ca ri' pan espejo, xa ma noka ta chic chuc'u'x ri achique rubanic nitzu'un. 25 Yac'a ri nac'axan ri ruch'abel ri Dios, y ma xu (xe) ta wi nrac'axaj, xa can nunimaj y nuben† Jn. 13.17. ri nubij ri ch'abel ri', y can ma nuya' ta ca, can jabel c'a ruwaruk'ij. Ruma ri ruch'abel ri Dios can tz'aket wi. Y can nuben chake chi yojcolotej riche (rixin) chi yojcowin nikaben ri nrajo' ri Dios.

26 Wi c'o jun nibin chi nuya' ruk'ij ri Dios y xa ma nuk'il ta ri' riq'ui ri itzel tak ch'abel,‡ Stg. 3.2, 3. ruyon riya' nuk'ol ka ri'. Y xa majun utz nuc'om pe chare tek nubij chi riya' can nuya' wi ruk'ij ri Dios. 27 Ruma ri winek ri can kitzij nuya' ruk'ij ri Dios, yerutola' ri malcani' tak ixoki' y ri ac'ala' ri xa majun chic quite' quitata' ri yetajin niquik'axaj tijoj pokonal, y chuka' ma nutz'ilobisaj§ Is. 1.16. ta chic ri' chupan ri etzelal riche (rixin) re ruwach'ulef. Chuwech ri Dios ri yebano queri', yeri' ri can kitzij y pa ruch'ajch'ojil chi niquiya' ruk'ij.
