¹⁸Ndiyesa kuti masautso a nthawi ino ngopanda kanthu poyerekeza ndi ulemerero umene udzaululidwa kwa ife. ¹⁹Pakuti zolengedwa zikuyembekezera ndi chilakolako chachikulu kuti ana a Atate wathu aululidwe. ²⁰Pakuti zolengedwa zinagonjetsedwa ku zopanda pake—osati mwakufuna kwake, koma ndi Iye amene anazigonjetsa—mu chiyembekezo, ²¹kuti zolengedwa zomwe zidzamasulidwa ku ukapolo wake wa chivundi, kulowa mu ufulu wa ulemerero wa ana a Atate wathu. ²²Pakuti tikudziwa kuti zolengedwa zonse zabuula pamodzi mu zowawa za pobereka mpaka tsopano. ²³Ndipo osati zolengedwa zokha, komanso ife—amene tili ndi zipatso zoyamba za Mzimu—timabuula mkati mwathu, tikuyembekezera mwachidwi kuti ufulu wathu wonse wa umwana ubwezeretsedwe, kuwomboledwa kwa matupi athu. ²⁴Mu chiyembekezo ichi tinapulumutsidwa. Koma chiyembekezo choonekera si chiyembekezo—kodi ndani amayembekezera chimene akuchiona kale? ²⁵Koma ngati tiyembekezera chimene sitichiona, timachidikira moleza mtima.

²⁶Momwemonso Mzimu amathandiza kufooka kwathu: sitidziwa chimene tiyenera kupempha monga kuyenera, koma Mzimu mwini amatipempherera ndi kubuula kopanda mau. ²⁷Iye amene amafufuza mitima amadziwa maganizo a Mzimu, popeza Mzimu amapempherera oyera mtima molingana ndi chifuniro cha Atate wathu.

Kubwezeretsa uku si fanizo chabe; ndi banja limene Atate wathu anafuna nthawi zonse kukhala nalo. ³⁰Ndipo iwo amene anawaikiratu, anawaitananso; ndipo amene anawaitana, anawalungamitsanso; ndipo amene anawalungamitsa, anawalemekezanso.

³¹Ndiye tinene chiyani pa zinthu izi? Ngati Atate wathu ali kumbali yathu, ndani angatitsutse? ³²Iye sanamuleke Mwana wake weniweni koma anamupereka chifukwa cha ife tonse—kodi sadzatipatsanso kwaulere zinthu zonse pamodzi naye? ³³Ndani angaimbe mlandu osankhidwa a Atate wathu? Atate wathu ndiye amene amalungamitsa. ³⁴Ndani angatsutse? Khristu Yesu—amene anafa, koposa pamenepo, anaukitsidwa, amene ali kudzanja lamanja la Atate wathu, amene ndithu amatipempherera.

³⁵Ndani angatilekanitse ndi chikondi cha Khristu? Kodi masautso, kapena mavuto, kapena mazunzo, kapena njala, kapena umaliseche, kapena ngozi, kapena lupanga? ³⁶Monga kwalembedwa kuti, “Chifukwa cha Inu tiphedwa tsiku lonse; tiwerengedwa ngati nkhosa zoyenera kuphedwa.”

³⁷Ayi, m'zinthu zonse izi ndife opambana kwambiri kudzera mwa Iye amene anatikonda. ³⁸Pakuti ndikutsimikiza kuti ngakhale imfa kapena moyo, ngakhale angelo kapena olamulira, ngakhale za tsopano kapena za mtsogolo, kapena mphamvu, ³⁹ngakhale kutalika kapena kuya, kapena china chilichonse mu zolengedwa zonse, sichingathe kutilekanitsa ndi chikondi cha Atate wathu chimene chili mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu.
