Richin queri', vi ri ivachijlal man quiniman ta ri ruch'abel ri Dios, roma ta ri ic'aslen rix, xtiquinimaj ta.* 1 Co. 7:16.

Tivika-ivi' (tiveka-ivi') riq'uin jun c'aslen ch'uch'uj y riq'uin jun c'aslen ri nuc'ut chi jebel ina'oj quiq'uin ri ch'aka' chic. Roma re vikbel re' (re vekbel re') man xtiq'uis ta, y jare' ri más rejkalen chuvech ri Dios. 5 Roma ri ojer can, que chuka' ri' xquivik-qui' (xquivek-qui') ri lok'olej tak ixoki' ri xcoyobej ri rutzil ri Dios.

Y rix kach'alal ixoki' utz chi nibix riy ri Sara chive, pero vi can nic'uaj jun utzilej c'aslen y man nixibij ta ivi' chi yixapon chuvech jun tijoj-pokonal.
