17 Chifukwatu ngakhale kuti mavuto* amene tikukumana nawo ndi akanthawi ndiponso aangʼono, akutichititsa kuti tilandire ulemerero umene ukukulirakulira komanso womwe ndi wamuyaya,+
18 pamene tikuganizira kwambiri zinthu zosaoneka, osati zooneka.+ Chifukwa zooneka nʼzakanthawi, koma zosaoneka nʼzamuyaya.
