Chifundo ndiponso makhalidwe ena amene akazi amakhala nawo zingathandize kwambiri kuti atonthoze ena. (Werengani Tito 2:3-5.) Choncho n’zotheka kuti akulu komanso anthu ena atonthoze ena ndipo ayenera ‘kulankhula molimbikitsa kwa amtima wachisoni’ mu mpingo. (1 Ates. 5:14, 15) Ndi bwinonso kukumbukira kuti Mulungu “amatitonthoza m’masautso athu onse, kuti tithe kutonthoza amene ali m’masautso amtundu uliwonse.”​—2 Akor. 1:4.

Tisaleke kusonkhana pamodzi, monga mmene ena achizolowezi chosafika pamisonkhano akuchitira.
