(Tiya. 3:17) Cifuno cawo ndi kuphedza m’bale peno mulongo unoyu toera pingakwanisika “asiye njira yace yakuipa.” (Tiya. 5:19, 20) Pontho iwo asacita pyonsene pinakwanisa iwo toera kutsidzikiza mpingo na kubalangaza ale adatsukwaliswa. (2 Akor. 1:3, 4) Akulu a mpingo angadziwa kuti m’bale peno mulongo acita madawo makulu, iwo asafunika kudziwa unyomonyomo onsene wa pinthu pidacitika. Natenepa pyenepi pisakwata ndzidzi. Buluka penepo iwo asacita phembero na kupereka uphungu mukuphatisira Bhibhlya mbasandika ‘tayu mwakupiringana midida.’ (Yer. 30:11) Maseze akulu a mpingo nee asadembuka kutsalakana madawo, iwo nee asacita pyenepi mwamangungu. Akulu a mpingo angatowezera pitsogolero pya Yahova pa kutsalakana madawo, abale na alongo mu mpingo asaphindula kakamwe. Ngakhale akulu a mpingo atsalakane mwadidi madawo anewa ale adakhuyiwa na madawo  anewa anakwanisa kupitiriza kukhala akutsukwala.

M’mbuto mwace, iye apitiriza kuwangisira kutumikira Yahova, pontho Yahova ampasa nkhombo thangwi yakupirira kwace. (Gen. 39:21) Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, Zuze akwanisa kulekerera ale adantsukwalisa, pontho akwanisa kuona nkhombo zidampasa Yahova. (Gen. 45:5) Ninga Zuze ife tinakwanisa kukhala akukhurudzika tingafendedzera Yahova mbatisiya pyonsene m’manja mwace.—Masal. 7:17; 73:28.

¹⁵ Mwandimomwene, tonsene nee tinatsalakanwa mwakusowa ulungami ninga Zuze, ngakhale tenepo munthu angatitsalakana mwakuipa ife tinakwanisa kukhala akutsukwala. Mungatsukwaliswa na m’bale peno mulongo kuphataniza munthu wakuti nee asatumikira Yahova, imwe munaphindula mungaphatisira midida ya Bhibhlya. (Afil. 2:3, 4) Onani citsandzo ici: Mulongo unango atsukwala kakamwe pidadzindikira iye kuti ndzace wakubasa akhamulonga mwakuipa kuna anthu anango. M’mbuto mwakuntawira mwakucimbiza, mulongo unoyu akwata ndzidzi toera kunyerezera citsandzo ca Yezu. Thangwi pikhatikanwa Yezu, iye nee akhatawira mwakutikana.

Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, mulongo unoyu adzindikira kuti ndzace wakubasa akhathimbana na utenda wakuti ukhancitisa kukhala wakuipirwa kakamwe. Natenepa mulongo unoyu abvesesa kuti ndzace nee akhantsukwalisa mwakufuna. Kusiyapo pyenepi, mulongo unoyu atsandzaya kakamwe thangwi yakupirira njira ikhatsalakanwa iye mwakuipa na ndzace wakubasa.

16. Ninji cinafuna kutiphedza toera kupirira tingatsalakanwa mwakusowa ulungami? (1 Pedhru 3:12)

 ¹⁶ Khala imwe musathabuka thangwi yakutsalakanwa mwakusowa ulungami peno pinthu pinango, dziwani kuti Yahova ali dhuzi na ale ‘anatamba nyatwa.’ (Masal. 34:18) Iye asakufunani thangwi yakupirira kwanu, pontho thangwi yakusiya nyatwa zanu kuna iye.
