Kowa yă yi amfani da kowace baiwar da ya samu don kyautata wa waɗansu, cikin aminci yana aikata alherin Allah a hanyoyi dabam-dabam.

Abokaina ƙaunatattu, kada ku yi mamakin gwaji mai tsananin da kuke sha, sai ka ce wani baƙon abu ne yake faruwa da ku.

Sai dai ku yi murna cewa kuna tarayya cikin shan wahalolin Kiristi, domin ku kai ga farin ciki mai yawa sa’ad da aka bayyana ɗaukakarsa.

In an zage ku saboda sunan Kiristi, ku masu albarka ne, gama Ruhun ɗaukaka da kuma na Allah yana bisanku.

In kuna shan wahala, kada yă zama don ku masu kisankai ne ko ɓarayi ko masu wani irin laifi ko kuma masu shisshigi.

Amma fa, in kuka sha wahala a matsayin ku Kirista ne, kada ku ji kunya, sai dai ku yabi Allah cewa kuna amsa wannan suna.

Gama lokaci ya yi da za a fara yi wa iyalin Allah shari’a; in kuwa ya fara da mu, to, me zai faru da waɗanda ba sa biyayya da bisharar Allah?

Kuma, “In da ƙyar masu adalci su kuɓuta, me zai faru da marasa tsoron Allah da kuma masu zunubi?”

Saboda haka, waɗanda suke shan wahala bisa ga nufin Allah ya kamata su danƙa kansu ga Mahaliccinsu mai aminci, su kuma ci gaba da aikata abin da yake daidai.

Zuwa ga dattawan da suke cikinku, ina roƙo a matsayin ɗan’uwanku dattijo, mashaidin shan wahalar Kiristi wanda kuma shi ma zai sami rabo cikin ɗaukakar da za a bayyana.

Ku zama makiyayan garken Allah da yake a ƙarƙashin kulawarku, kuna hidima kamar masu kula, ba kan dole ba, sai dai da yardar rai, yadda Allah yake so ku zama; ban da kwaɗayin kuɗi, sai dai marmarin yin hidima;

ban da nuna iko a kan waɗanda aka danƙa muku amana, sai dai ku zama gurbi ga garken.

Sa’ad da kuwa Babban Makiyayin ya bayyana, za ku karɓi rawanin ɗaukaka marar koɗewa.

Samari, ku ma, ku yi biyayya ga waɗanda suka girme ku. Dukanku, ku yafa sauƙinkai ga juna, domin, “Allah yana gāba da mai girman kai, amma yakan yi alheri ga mai sauƙinkai.”

Saboda haka, ku ƙasƙantar da kanku a ƙarƙashin hannun Allah mai ƙarfi, don yă ɗaukaka ku a lokacin da ya ga dama.

Ku danƙa masa dukan damuwarku, domin shi ne yake lura da ku.

Ku zama masu kamunkai, ku kuma zauna a faɗake. Abokin gābanku, Iblis yana kewayewa kamar zaki mai ruri, yana neman wanda zai cinye.

Ku yi tsayayya da shi, kuna tsayawa daram cikin bangaskiya, domin kun san cewa ’yan’uwanku ko’ina a duniya suna shan irin wahalolin nan.

Ku gai da juna da sumbar ƙauna. Salama gare ku duka da kuke cikin Kiristi.

Siman Bitrus, bawa da kuma manzon Yesu Kiristi, Zuwa ga waɗanda ta wurin adalcin Allahnmu da Mai Cetonmu Yesu Kiristi sun sami bangaskiya mai daraja irin tamu.
