17 But if a man has this world's goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love of God to be in him? 18 My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.
[17] Kambe loko munhu a ri ni swilo swa misava leyi, kutani a vona makwavo a ri eku pfumaleni, kambe a nonon'hwisa mbilu ya yena a nga n'wi pfuni, xana rirhandzu ro rhandza Xikwembu ri nga tshamisisa ku yini eka yena xana?[18] Vana vanga, hi nga rhandzaneni hi marito kumbe hi ku vulavula ntsena, kambe a ku ve hi mintirho ni ntiyiso.
