14 Koma kuwonjezera pa zonsezi, valani chikondi,+ pakuti chimagwirizanitsa anthu mwamphamvu+ kwambiri kuposa chinthu china chilichonse.
15 Komanso, mtendere+ wa Khristu ulamulire m’mitima+ yanu, popeza munaitanidwa ku mtenderewo monga ziwalo za thupi limodzi.+ Ndiponso, sonyezani kuti ndinu oyamikira.
16 Mawu a Khristu akhazikike mwa inu ndipo akupatseni nzeru zonse.+ Pitirizani kuphunzitsana+ ndi kulangizana mwa masalimo,+ nyimbo zotamanda Mulungu, ndi nyimbo zauzimu+ zogwira mtima. Pitirizani kuimbira Yehova+ m’mitima yanu.
17 Ndipo chilichonse chimene mukuchita m’mawu kapena mu ntchito,+ muzichita zonse m’dzina la Ambuye Yesu,+ ndipo muziyamika+ Mulungu Atate kudzera mwa iye.
18 Inu akazi, muzigonjera+ amuna anu, pakuti zimenezi ndiye zoyenera kwa anthu otsatira Ambuye.
19 Inu amuna, musaleke kukonda akazi+ anu ndipo musamawapsere mtima kwambiri.+
20 Ananu, muzimvera+ makolo anu pa zinthu zonse, pakuti kuchita zimenezi kumakondweretsa Ambuye.
21 Inu abambo, musamakwiyitse ana+ anu, kuti angakhale okhumudwa.
22 Inu akapolo, muzimvera ambuye anu a padziko lapansi+ pa zinthu zonse, osati mwachiphamaso ngati ofuna kukondweretsa+ 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 mudzalandira cholowa+ kuchokera kwa Yehova+ monga mphoto yanu. Tumikirani Ambuye wanu, Khristu, monga akapolo.+
