13 Pa chifukwa chimenechi, nyamulani zida zonse zankhondo zochokera kwa Mulungu+ kuti patsiku loipa musadzagonje, ndiponso kuti mutachita zonse bwinobwino, mudzathe kulimba.
14 Choncho khalani olimba, mutamanga kwambiri choonadi mʼchiuno mwanu ngati lamba,+ mutavala chodzitetezera pachifuwa chachilungamo,+
15 komanso mutavala nsapato kumapazi anu pokonzekera kulengeza uthenga wabwino wamtendere.+
16 Koposa zonsezi, nyamulani chishango chachikulu chachikhulupiriro,+ chimene mudzathe kuzimitsira mivi yonse yoyaka moto ya woipayo.+
17 Komanso valani chipewa cha chipulumutso+ ndipo nyamulani lupanga la mzimu, lomwe ndi mawu a Mulungu.+
18 Pamene mukuchita zimenezi, muzipemphera pa chochitika chilichonse mu mzimu,+ pogwiritsa ntchito pemphero+ ndi pembedzero la mtundu uliwonse. Kuti muchite zimenezi khalani maso ndipo nthawi zonse muzipemphera mopembedzera mʼmalo mwa oyera onse.
19 Muzindipemphereranso ineyo kuti ndikayamba kulankhula ndizipeza mawu oyenerera nʼcholinga choti ndizitha kulankhula molimba mtima ndikamalalikira zokhudza chinsinsi chopatulika cha uthenga wabwino,+
20 umene ndine kazembe+ wake womangidwa ndi unyolo ndiponso kuti ndilankhule za uthengawo molimba mtima ngati mmene ndikuyenera kuchitira.
21 Tsopano, kuti mudziwenso mmene zinthu zikuyendera pa moyo wanga ndi mmene ine ndilili, Tukiko,+ mʼbale wokondedwa ndiponso mtumiki wokhulupirika wa Ambuye, adzakufotokozerani zonse.+
22 Ndamutumiza kwa inu ndi cholinga chimenechi, kuti mudziwe za moyo wathu ndiponso kuti atonthoze mitima yanu.
23 Mtendere ndi chikondi ndiponso chikhulupiriro zochokera kwa Mulungu Atate ndi kwa Ambuye Yesu Khristu, zikhale pa abalenu.
