[10] Nthawi zonse tikuyenda nayo imfa ya Yesu mʼthupi mwathu, kuti moyo wake Yesu uwonekenso mʼthupi mwathu. [11] Pakuti nthawi zonse, ngakhale tili ndi moyo, tikuperekedwa ku imfa chifukwa cha Yesu, kuti moyo wake wa Yesu uwonekenso mʼmatupi mwathu amene amafa. [12] Choncho imfa ikugwira ntchito mwa ife, koma moyo ukugwira ntchito mwa inu. [13] Kwalembedwa kuti, “Ndinakhulupirira; nʼchifukwa chake ndinayankhula.” Popeza ife tili ndi mtima womwewo wokhulupirira, ifenso timakhulupirira ndi kuyankhula, [14] chifukwa timadziwa kuti amene anaukitsa Ambuye Yesu kwa akufa adzatiukitsanso ife pamodzi ndi Yesu, natipereka ife ndi inu pamaso pake. [15] Zonsezi nʼkuti inu mupindule, kuti chisomochi chifikire anthu ochuluka kwambiri, amenenso adzathokoza mochuluka kwambiri ndi kupereka ulemerero kwa Mulungu. [16] Nʼchifukwa chake ife sititaya mtima. Ngakhale thupi lathu likunka lifowokerafowokera, koma mʼkatimu tikulimbikitsidwa mwatsopano tsiku ndi tsiku.
