Mwachitsanzo, muziphunzira Mawuwo mwina kwa nthawi yochepa chabe. Pakamapita nthawi, mwina kuphunzirako kungayambe kukusangalatsani ndipo simungaone kuti n’kovuta.

(Aroma 2:14, 15) Buku lina lofotokoza mawu a m’Baibulo limanena kuti mawu amene anamasuliridwa kuti “malangizo” angamasuliridwenso kuti “zothandiza mwana kukula.”

Makolofe amatilemekeza kwambiri chifukwa choti tinayesetsa kumvera Mulungu.

(2 Sam. 12:1-14) Nayenso Paulo anafunika kulimba mtima kwambiri kuti adzudzule mtumwi Petulo pa nthawi imene anachita zinthu zokondera Ayuda. (Agal. 2:11-14) Ndiye kodi tingatani kuti tiziwapeputsira akulu ntchito yawo mumpingo? Tiyenera kukhala odzichepetsa, omasuka komanso oyamikira.

Kaini atakwiya n’kumafuna kupha m’bale wake, Yehova anamulangiza kuti: “N’chifukwa chiyani wapsa mtima choncho, ndipo nkhope yako yagweranji? Ukasintha n’kuchita chabwino, sindikuyanja kodi? Koma ngati susintha kuti uchite chabwino, uchimo wamyata pakhomo kukudikirira, ndipo ukulakalaka kukudya. Kodi iweyo suugonjetsa?” (Gen. 4:6, 7) Kaini sanamvere malangizowa moti uchimo unamugonjetsa.

Uwasunge bwino chifukwa iwo ndiwo moyo wako.”
