(Aroma 10:17) Tiyeneranso kusinkhasinkha, kapena kuti kuganizira mozama, zimene timaphunzira kuti zikhazikike mumtima mwathu. Chikhulupiriro chamoyo n’chimene chingatithandize kukhala olimba mtima. (Yak. 2:17) Ndiponso tiyenera kupempha mzimu woyera chifukwa chakuti chikhulupiriro ndi chipatso cha mzimuwo.​—Agal. 5:22.

Atatero iye anati: “Ulendo uno ndichita zimene ndakhala ndikulephera kuchita nthawi yonseyi.” Kitty anapemphera kuti akhale wolimba mtima ngati Khristu, ndiponso kuti apeze nzeru ndi mpata wabwino woti alalikire.
