[2] Mukhale odzichepetsa kwathunthu ndi ofatsa; mukhale oleza mtima, ololerana wina ndi mnzake mwachikondi. [3] Muyesetse kusunga umodzi wa Mzimu; umodzi umene umatimangirira pamodzi mu mtendere. [4] Pali thupi limodzi ndiponso Mzimu mmodzi, monganso pali chiyembekezo chimodzi chimene anakuyitanirani. [5] Pali Ambuye mmodzi, chikhulupiriro chimodzi, ubatizo umodzi; [6] Mulungu mmodzi ndi Atate a onse, ndipo ali mwa onse. [7] Koma aliyense wa ife wapatsidwa chisomo molingana ndi muyeso wa mphatso ya Khristu. [8] Nʼchifukwa chake akunena kuti, “Iye atakwera kumwamba, anatenga chigulu cha a mʼndende ndipo anapereka mphatso kwa anthu.” [9] Kodi mawu akuti, “Iye anakwera” akutanthauza chiyani, ngati Iyeyo sanatsikire kunsi kwa dziko lapansi?

[11] Iye ndiye amene anapereka mphatso kwa ena kuti akhale atumwi ndi ena aneneri, ena alaliki, ndi ena abusa ndi aphunzitsi. [12] Ntchito yawo ndi kukonza oyera mtima kuti agwire ntchito ya utumiki kuti thupi la Khristu lilimbikitsidwe. [13] Izi zidzatifikitsa tonse ku umodzi wachikhulupiriro, kumudziwa Mwana wa Mulungu, kukhwima msinkhu ndi kufika pa muyeso wangwiro weniweni wopezeka mwa Khristu. [14] Motero sitidzakhalanso makanda, ogwedezekagwedezeka ndi mafunde, otengekatengeka ndi mphepo iliyonse ya chiphunzitso ndi kuchenjera kwa anthu achinyengo amene amasocheretsa anthu ndi kuchenjera kwawo. [15] Mʼmalo mwake, poyankhula choonadi mwachikondi, tidzakula mu zinthu zonse ndi kukhala thupi la Khristu, amene ndi Mutu, omwe ndi mpingo. [16] Mwa Iye thupi lonse lalumikizidwa ndi kugwirana pamodzi ndi mitsempha yothandizira. Likukula ndi kudzilimbitsa lokha mwachikondi, pomwe chiwalo chilichonse chikugwira ntchito yake. [17] Tsono ine ndikukuwuzani izi, ndipo ndikunenetsa mwa Ambuye, kuti musayendenso monga amachitira anthu a mitundu ina potsata maganizo awo opanda pake. [18] Maganizo awo ndi odetsedwa, ndi osiyanitsidwa ndi moyo wa Mulungu chifukwa cha umbuli umene uli mwa iwo chifukwa cha kuwuma mtima kwawo. [19] Popeza sazindikiranso kanthu kalikonse, adzipereka okha kuti akhumbe zonyansa, kuti achite mtundu uliwonse wa zoyipa ndi zilakolako zosatha. [20] Koma inu simunadziwe Khristu mʼnjira yotere. [21] Zoonadi munamva za Iye ndipo munaphunzitsidwa mwa Iye molingana ndi choonadi chimene chili mwa Yesu. [22] Inu munaphunzitsidwa molingana ndi moyo wanu wakale, kuchotsa umunthu wakale, umene ukupitirira kuwonongeka ndi zilakolako zachinyengo; [23] kuti mukonzedwe mwatsopano mʼmitima mwanu; [24] ndi kuti muvale umunthu watsopano, wolengedwa kuti ufanane ndi Mulungu mu chilungamo chenicheni ndi chiyero. [25] Chifukwa chake, aliyense wa inu aleke kunama ndipo ayankhule zoona kwa mʼbale wake, pakuti ife tonse ndife ziwalo za thupi limodzi. [26] Kwiyani koma musachimwe. Dzuwa lisalowe mukanali chikwiyire. [27] Musamupatse mpata Satana. [28] Iye amene wakhala akuba asabenso, koma agwire ntchito ndi kuchita kenakake kaphindu ndi manja ake, kuti akhale ndi kenakake kogawana ndi amene akusowa. [29] Mʼkamwa mwanu musatuluke mawu aliwonse onyansa, koma okhawo amene ndi othandiza kulimbikitsa ena molingana ndi zosowa zawo, kuti athandize amene akawamve. [30] Ndipo musamvetse chisoni Mzimu Woyera wa Mulungu amene mwasindikizidwa naye chizindikiro cha tsiku la kuwomboledwa. [31] Chotsani kuzondana, ukali ndi kupsa mtima, chiwawa ndi kuyankhula zachipongwe, pamodzi ndi choyipa chilichonse. [32] Mukomerane mtima ndi kuchitirana chifundo wina ndi mnzake. Khululukiranani wina ndi mnzake, monga momwe Mulungu anakukhululukirani mwa Khristu.
