2 PBBM Sakalipe au mampunai karunia bean bernubuat dohot au mamboto sude rahasia dohot mampunai sude kapintaran, dohot sakalipe au mampunai holong, au pe inda marguna.

3 PBBM Jana bahali pe au mambagi-bagihon sude sasuatu na adong di au, bahwasona mangalehen pamatangku baen ditutung, tau au inda mampunai holong, saotik pe inda adong gunana baen diau.

8 PBBM Holong inda markasudahan; nubuat na angkan berakhir; bahaso Tondi na angkan so, parnibotoan ni hita inda lengkap dohot nubuat ni hita angkon mago. BSB BSB: Love never fails.
