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 kungakuloko munhu a ri ni swilo swa vutomi bya misava, kutani a vona makwavo a pfumala, kutani a n'wi pfalela mbilu ya yena, rirhandzu ra Xikwembu ri nga tshamisisa ku yini eka yena?[18] Vana vanga, hi nga tshuki hi rhandzana hi ku vulavula, ni ririmi, kambe a ku ve hi ku endla, ni ntiyiso.
