Kodi chikhulupiriro chimenecho chingamupulumutse iye? ¹⁵Tiyerekeze kuti m'bale wamwamuna kapena wamkazi alibe zovala zokwanira ndi wosowa chakudya cha tsiku ndi tsiku, ¹⁶ndipo mmodzi wa inu nati kwa iwo, “Pita mu mtendere, ukafunde ndi kukhuta,” koma osawapatsa kanthu pa zosowa za thupi lawo—kodi phindu lake nchiyani? ¹⁷Momwemonso, chikhulupiriro chokha, ngati chilibe ntchito, ndi chakufa. ¹⁸Koma wina adzati, “Iwe uli ndi chikhulupiriro, ndipo ine ndili ndi ntchito.” Ndionetse chikhulupiriro chako chopanda ntchito, ndipo ine ndidzakuonetsa chikhulupiriro changa kuchokera ku ntchito zanga. ¹⁹Iwe ukhulupirira kuti Atate wathu ndi mmodzi; ukuchita bwino.
