Kenako zenizeni: gwiritsani ntchito mphatso yanu yeniyeni, kondani mopanda chinyengo, dalitsani okuzunzani, kanani kubwezera, gonjetsani choipa ndi chabwino.
12 1Chifukwa chake abale ndi alongo, mwa chifundo cha Atate wathu ndikukupemphani: operekani matupi anu monga nsembe yamoyo, yoyera ndi yokondweretsa Iye—kupembedza kwanu kwenikweni ndi kwa nzeru. 2Musafanizidwe ndi nthawi ino, koma musandulike mwa kukonzanso maganizo anu, kuti muzindikire chifuniro cha Atate wathu—chabwino, chokondweretsa, ndi changwiro.
3Mwa chisomo chopatsidwa kwa ine, ndinena kwa aliyense wa inu: munthu asadziganizire mwini yekha kuposa mmene ayenera, koma aganize ndi nzeru zoyenera, aliyense monga mwa muyeso wa chikhulupiriro umene Atate wathu anampatsa. 4Monga momwe thupi limodzi lili ndi ziwalo zambiri, ndipo ziwalo zonse sizigwira ntchito yofanana, 5momwemonso ife, ngakhale ndife ambiri, ndife thupi limodzi mwa Khristu, ndipo aliyense wa ife ndi wa anzake. 6Mphatso zathu nzosiyana monga mwa chisomo chopatsidwa kwa ife: ngati ndi uneneri, tiugwiritse ntchito molingana ndi chikhulupiriro chathu; 7ngati ndi utumiki, mu kutumikira kwathu; amene aphunzitsa, mu chiphunzitso chake; 8wolimbikitsa, mu kulimbikitsa; wopereka, ndi kuwolowa manja; wotsogolera, ndi changu; wochita chifundo, ndi kusangalala.
9Chikondi chikhale choona. Dani zoipa; gwiritsitsani zabwino. 10Kondanani wina ndi mnzake ndi chikondi cha ubale. Pitiranani wina ndi mnzake pa kupereka ulemu. 11Musasowe changu, koma muyake mu mzimu, mutumikira Ambuye. 12Kondwerani mu chiyembekezo, pirirani mu masautso, khalani odzipereka ku pemphero. 13Gawanani ndi anthu a Atate wathu pa zosowa zawo; funafunani kuchereza alendo.
14Dalitsani amene akuzunzani; dalitsani, ndipo musatemberere. 15Kondwerani pamodzi ndi okondwa; lirani pamodzi ndi olira. 16Khalani mogwirizana wina ndi mnzake. Musakhale odzikuza, koma muyanjane ndi anthu odzichepetsa. Musadziyese anzeru pa maso anu. 17Musabwezere munthu aliyense choipa pa choipa; ganiziratu zoyenera kuchita zolemekezeka pamaso pa anthu onse. 18Ngati n'kotheka, monga mmene zilili kwa inu, khalani pa mtendere ndi anthu onse.
19Okondedwa, musabwezere nokha; patsani malo mkwiyo wa Atate wathu. Monga kwalembedwa: Kubwezera nkwanga, Ine ndidzabwezera, ati Atate wathu.
20Koma: “Ngati mdani wako ali ndi njala, mudyetse; ngati ali ndi ludzu, mupatse chakumwa; pochita izi, udzawunjika makala amoto pamutu pake.” a a v20 Kuwunjika makala amoto pamutu pa mdani kukufanizira kumugonjetsa ndi manyazi kapena kutsutsidwa mu mtima kudzera mu kukoma mtima kosayembekezereka.
21Musagonjetsedwe ndi choipa, koma gonjetsani choipa ndi chabwino.
