Roma vi nitej pokon roma ja ri Cristo ri iniman, can nik'alajin-vi chi iyo'on chic can ri mac,*Ro. 6:2, 7; Ga. 5:24; Col. 3:5. 2 richin queri' janipe' chic tiempo ri xquixc'ase-el, ja ta ri rurayibel ri Dios ri niben-el y man ta ja ri nirayij rix.†Ro. 6:11, 13; Tit. 2:12. 3 Xa man chic c'a tiben banobel ri yeka' chiquivech ri vinek ri man quetaman ta ruvech ri Dios.‡Ef. 4:17-19.

Roma c'a ri' rix, can tina' c'a jebel ri achique ye'ibanala' y riq'uin ronojel ivánima tibana' orar jantape'. 8 Y ri nic'atzin chuka' chi niben rix, ja ri tivajovala-ivi'*Pr. 10:12; 1 Co. 13:7; Stg. 5:20. janíla. Y ri ajovabel can nic'atzin-vi. Roma tok can navajo' jun vinek, chanin nacuy ri rumac. 9 Y riq'uin c'a ronojel ivánima†2 Co. 9:7. tic'ulula-ivi'.‡1 Ti. 3:2.

Y riq'uin ri' xtuc'ul ta ruk'ij-ruc'ojlen ri Dios.†1 Ti. 6:16; 1 P. 5:11; Ap. 1:6. Y roma ri xuben ri Jesucristo, xtuc'ul ta c'a chuka' ruk'ij ri Dios. Rija' can c'o-vi ruk'ij-ruc'ojlen y c'o ruk'atbel-tzij ri man jun bey xtiq'uis. Can que c'a ri'.

Y man ja ta c'a rix ri nabey yixc'ulvachin quere'. 13 Tok rix yixic'o c'a pa jun k'axomal,§Ro. 8:17; 2 Co. 1:7; Ap. 1:9. achi'el ri k'axomal ri xuc'ovisaj ri Cristo, man c'a quixbison, xa quixquicot. Y tok xtapon c'a ri k'ij tok xtik'alajin chi ri Cristo can c'o-vi ruk'ij-ruc'ojlen, can janíla c'a xtiquicot ri ivánima rix. 14 Y vi roma ja ri Cristo ri iniman, romari' nibix pokon tak tzij chive, can c'o c'a utz ri xtuq'uen-pe chive.*Mt. 5:11; 2 Co. 12:9, 10; Stg. 1:12; 1 P. 2:19, 20. Y can c'o-vi utz ri nuq'uen-pe chive, roma iviq'uin rix can c'o-vi ri Lok'olej Espíritu richin ri Dios. Lok'olej Espíritu ri c'o ruk'ij-ruc'ojlen. Y rix can niya-ka ruk'ij re Lok'olej Espíritu re'. Y ja ri yebin pokon tak tzij chive rix, can ja chuka' ri' ri yebin pokon tak tzij chirij ri Lok'olej Espíritu ri'. 15 Tichajij c'a ivi' chi'ijujunal richin man yixcamisan, richin man yixelek', y richin chuka' man tiju-apo-ivi'†2 Ts. 3:11. ri acuchi ri man ruc'amon ta. Y man tiben ri ronojel ruvech etzelal. Roma vi nitej pokon roma niben jun mac, man utz ta. 16 Pero vi nitej pokon roma iniman ri Cristo, man c'a quixq'uix. Xa tiya' ruk'ij-ruc'ojlen ri Dios roma can ix richin chic ri Cristo.‡Hch. 5:41.
