3 ¹Potsiriza, abale ndi alongo, kondwerani mwa Ambuye. Kukulemberani zinthu zomwezo sikuli kuvutika kwa ine, ndipo kumakutetezani inu.

²Chenjerani ndi agalu, chenjerani ndi anthu ochita zoipa, chenjerani ndi amene amadula thupi. ^a a v2 Paulo akunyoza amene amaumirira mdulidwe pozitcha kuti ‘odzidula,’ kusintha dala mau akuti mdulidwe. ³Ife ndife mdulidwe weniweni—amene timalambira mwa Mzimu wa Atate wathu, nitamandira mwa Khristu Yesu, osadalira kanthu m'thupi, ⁴ngakhale inenso ndikanakhoza kukhala nao chidaliro m'thupi. Ngati wina aliyense aganiza kuti ali nazo zifukwa zodalira m'thupi, ine ndili nazo zoposa: ⁵Ndinachita mdulidwe tsiku lachisanu ndi chitatu; ndine Mwisraeli pobadwa, wa fuko la Benjamini; Mhebri wa Ahebri; Mfarisi pansi pa chilamulo. ⁶Mwachangu, ndinazunza mpingo; m'chilungamo cha pansi pa chilamulo, ndinali wopanda chilema.

⁷Koma chilichonse chimene chinali phindu kwa ine, tsopano ndichiyesa chotayika chifukwa cha Khristu. ⁸Inde, ndiyesa zonse zotayika chifukwa cha mtengo wopambana wodziwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wanga. Chifukwa cha Iye ndataya zinthu zonse, ndipo ndimaziyesa zinyalala, kuti ndipeze Khristu, ⁹ndipo ndipezeke mwa Iye, osati ndi chilungamo changa chochokera ku chilamulo, koma chija cha mwa chikhulupiriro mwa Khristu—chilungamo chochokera kwa Atate wathu chozikidwa pa chikhulupiriro, ¹⁰kuti ndimdziwe Iye, ndi mphamvu ya kuuka kwake, nigawana nao mazunzo ake, nikhala wofanana nao mu imfa yake, ¹¹ngati mwa njira ina ndingafike ku kuuka kwa akufa.

¹²Osati kuti ndakhala nao kale, kapena kuti ndasanduka wangwiro kale, koma ndikulimbikira kuti ndigwire chija chimene Khristu Yesu anandigwirira ine. ¹³Abale, sindidziyesa ndekha kuti ndachigwira kale. Koma chinthu chimodzi: ndiyiwala zimene zili m'mbuyo, nitambasulira ku zimene zili patsogolo, ¹⁴ndikulimbikira kulunjika ku chandamale kuti ndilandire mphotho ya maitanidwe a Atate wathu a kumwamba mwa Khristu Yesu. ¹⁵Ife tonse amene ndife okhwima, tiganize motere; ndipo ngati muganiza mosiyana pa chinthu china, Atate wathu adzakuululirani inu zimenezonso. ¹⁶Koma tingogwiritsitsa chija chimene tafika nacho kale.

¹⁷Abale, nditsanzireni pamodzi, ndipo yang'anani amene akukhala monga mwa chitsanzo chimene muli nacho mwa ife. ¹⁸Ambiri akukhala monga adani a mtanda wa Khristu—ndakuwuzani inu izi kawirikawiri, ndipo tsopano ndikunena ndi misozi. ¹⁹Mapeto awo ndi chiwonongeko, mulungu wawo ndi mimba, ulemerero wawo ndi manyazi awo, maganizo awo ali pa zinthu za dziko lapansi. ²⁰Koma ukhalo wathu uli kumwamba; kumene kuja timadikira ndi chidwi Mpulumutsi, Ambuye Yesu Khristu, ²¹amene adzasintha thupi lathu lonyozeka kuti lifanane ndi thupi lake la ulemerero, mwa mphamvu imene imagonjetsa zinthu zonse kwa Iye.
