[5] Choncho, iphani zilakolako za dziko lapansi mwa inu, monga: dama, zodetsa, kulakalaka zosayenera, kukhumba zoyipa ndi umbombo, pakuti umbombo ndiko kupembedza mafano. [6] Chifukwa cha zimenezi, mkwiyo wa Mulungu ukubwera pa ana osamvera. [7] Inunso kale munkachita zomwezi, mʼmoyo wanu wakale uja.

[12] Choncho, ngati anthu osankhidwa ndi Mulungu, oyera mtima ndi okondedwa kwambiri, muvale chifundo, kukoma mtima, kudzichepetsa, kufatsa ndi kupirira. [13] Mulezerane mtima ndipo muzikhululukirana ngati wina ali ndi chifukwa ndi mnzake. Muzikhululukirana monga Ambuye anakhululukira inu. [14] Ndipo kuwonjezera pa zonsezi valani chikondi, chimene chimangirira zonsezi pamodzi mu mgwirizano wangwiro. [15] Mtendere wa Khristu ulamulire mʼmitima mwanu, popeza monga ziwalo za thupi limodzi, munayitanidwa kuti mukhale ndi mtendere. Ndipo muziyamika. [16] Mawu a Khristu akhazikike kwathunthu mʼmitima mwanu. Muziphunzitsana ndi kulangizana wina ndi mnzake ndi nzeru zonse pamene mukuyimba Masalimo, nyimbo zotamanda ndi nyimbo zauzimu, kuyimbira Mulungu ndi mitima yoyamika. [17] Ndipo chilichonse chimene mungachite, kaya nʼkuyankhula, kaya nʼkugwira ntchito, muchite zonse mʼdzina la Ambuye Yesu, kuyamika kwa Mulungu Atate kudzera mwa Iye.
