12 Choncho monga anthu osankhidwa ndi Mulungu,+ oyera ndi okondedwa, valani chifundo chachikulu,+ kukoma mtima, kudzichepetsa,+ kufatsa+ komanso kuleza mtima.+
13 Pitirizani kulolerana ndi kukhululukirana ndi mtima wonse,+ ngakhale pamene wina ali ndi chifukwa chodandaulira za mnzake.+ Mofanana ndi Yehova* amene anakukhululukirani ndi mtima wonse, inunso muzichita chimodzimodzi.+
14 Koma kuwonjezera pa zonsezi, valani chikondi,+ chifukwa chimagwirizanitsa anthu mwamphamvu kwambiri kuposa chinthu china chilichonse.+
15 Komanso lolani kuti mtendere wa Khristu ulamulire mʼmitima yanu,+ popeza munaitanidwa ku mtendere umenewu monga ziwalo za thupi limodzi. Ndipo sonyezani kuti ndinu oyamikira.
16 Mawu a Khristu akhazikike mwa inu ndipo akupatseni nzeru zonse. Pitirizani kuphunzitsana ndi kulimbikitsana* ndi masalimo,+ nyimbo zotamanda Mulungu komanso nyimbo zauzimu zoyamikira. Pitirizani kuimbira Yehova* mʼmitima yanu.+
17 Chilichonse chimene mukuchita mʼmawu kapena mu ntchito, muzichita zonse mʼdzina la Ambuye Yesu, ndipo muziyamika Mulungu Atate kudzera mwa iye.+
18 Inu akazi, muzigonjera amuna anu,+ chifukwa zimenezi ndi zoyenera kwa anthu otsatira Ambuye.
19 Inu amuna, pitirizani kukonda akazi anu+ ndipo musamawapsere mtima kwambiri.*+
20 Ana inu, muzimvera makolo anu pa zinthu zonse,+ chifukwa zimenezi zimasangalatsa Ambuye.
21 Inu abambo, musamakwiyitse* ana anu,+ kuti asakhale okhumudwa.
22 Inu akapolo, muzimvera anthu amene ndi ambuye anu+ pa zinthu zonse, osati pokhapokha pamene akukuonani pongofuna kusangalatsa anthu,* koma moona mtima ndiponso moopa Yehova.*
23 Chilichonse chimene mukuchita, muzichichita ndi moyo wanu wonse ngati kuti mukuchitira Yehova,*+ osati anthu,
24 chifukwa mukudziwa kuti mphoto imene mudzalandire ndi cholowa chochokera kwa Yehova.*+ Tumikirani Ambuye wanu Khristu monga akapolo.
