4 ndipo Mulungu anaukitsa Mwana+ wakeyu pogwiritsa ntchito mphamvu ya mzimu wake woyera. Ameneyu ndi Yesu Khristu Ambuye wathu.
5 Kudzera mwa iyeyu, Mulungu anatisonyeza kukoma mtima kwakukulu ndipo ndinasankhidwa kukhala mtumwi+ kuti ndikathandize anthu a mitundu yonse kuti asonyeze chikhulupiriro, akhale omvera+ ndiponso kuti alemekeze dzina lake.

Mukhale ndi kukoma mtima kwakukulu ndiponso mtendere wochokera kwa Mulungu Atate wathu ndi Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu.
8 Choyamba, ndikuthokoza Mulungu wanga kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu chifukwa cha nonsenu, chifukwa anthu padziko lonse akunena za chikhulupiriro chanu.
9 Nthawi zonse ndikamapemphera ndimakutchulani mʼmapemphero anga ndipo Mulungu, amene ndikumuchitira utumiki wopatulika ndi mtima wanga wonse polalikira uthenga wabwino wonena za Mwana wake, akundichitira umboni.+

14 Ineyo ndili ndi ngongole kwa Agiriki ndi kwa anthu amene si Agiriki komanso kwa anthu anzeru ndi kwa anthu opusa.
15 Choncho ndikufunitsitsa kudzalalikira uthenga wabwino kwa inunso kumeneko ku Roma.+

18 Kuchokera kumwamba, Mulungu akusonyeza mkwiyo wake+ kwa anthu onse osaopa Mulungu ndi ochita zoipa amene akuchititsa kuti choonadi chisadziwike.+
19 Zili choncho chifukwa Mulungu wawapatsa umboni wokwanira wowathandiza kuti amudziwe.+
20 Kuchokera pamene dziko linalengedwa, makhalidwe a Mulungu osaoneka ndi maso akuonekera bwino. Makhalidwe a Mulungu amenewa,+ ngakhalenso mphamvu zake zosatha+ ndiponso Umulungu wake,+ zikuonekera mʼzinthu zimene anapanga moti anthuwo alibenso chifukwa chomveka chosakhulupirira kuti kuli Mulungu.
21 Ngakhale kuti ankadziwa Mulungu, iwo sanamulemekeze monga Mulungu komanso sanamuthokoze. Mʼmalomwake anayamba kuganiza zinthu zopanda nzeru ndipo mitima yawo yopusayo inachita mdima.+
22 Ngakhale amanena kuti ndi anzeru, iwo ndi opusa.
23 Mʼmalo molemekeza Mulungu yemwe sangafe, iwo amalemekeza zifaniziro za anthu omwe amafa komanso zifaniziro za mbalame, nyama za miyendo 4 ndiponso nyama zokwawa.+
24 Choncho mogwirizana ndi zilakolako zamʼmitima mwawo, Mulungu anawasiya kuti achite zonyansa, kuti achite zochititsa manyazi ndi matupi awo.
25 Choonadi chonena za Mulungu anachisinthanitsa ndi bodza ndipo amalambira ndiponso kutumikira chilengedwe mʼmalo mwa Mlengi amene ayenera kutamandidwa mpaka kalekale. Ame.

28 Popeza sankaona kuti nʼzofunika kudziwa Mulungu molondola, iye anawasiya kuti apitirize kuganiza zoipa nʼkumachita zinthu zosayenera.+
29 Ndipo ankachita zosalungama za mtundu ulionse,+ kuipa konse, dyera*+ ndiponso zinthu zonse zoipa. Mtima wawo unadzaza ndi kaduka,+ kupha anthu,+ ndewu, chinyengo+ ndi njiru.+ Ankakondanso miseche
