Anch muntu umwing wa pakach pen usotil kwikal muntu mujim kukupandakananyamu en awonsu, chifanyidin ndiy kwikal kashalapol wen.” (Mat. 20:25, 26) Atwimbuy afanyidina kwipuk kwikal ni chitongijok cha kusot “kwizambwish” kurutu kwa ambay nau akaritiy ap kurutu kwa ‘antu akwau ayombinamu.’

Walonda anch: “Nakulejanya mitapu yawonsu chifanyidin kusal midimu yikash mudi munasala am, mulong wa kuyikwash aburedina.” (Mid. 20:18, 19, 35) Paul wayileja in Korint anch kasotap kuyikel piur pa ritiy rau.
