8 Pali munthu amene ali yekhayekha, wopanda mnzake.+ Alibenso mwana kapena m’bale wake,+ koma amangokhalira kugwira ntchito mwakhama. Komanso maso ake sakhutira ndi chuma.+ Iye amafunsa kuti: “Kodi ntchito yovutayi ndikugwirira ndani n’kumadzimana zinthu zabwino?”+ Izinso n’zachabechabe ndiponso ndi ntchito yosautsa mtima.+

24 “Kapolo sangatumikire ambuye awiri, pakuti adzadana ndi mmodzi ndi kukonda winayo,+ kapena adzakhulupirika kwa mmodzi ndi kunyoza winayo. Simungathe kutumikira Mulungu ndi Chuma nthawi imodzi.+

15 Kenako anauza anthuwo kuti: “Khalani maso ndipo chenjerani ndi kusirira kwa nsanje kwamtundu uliwonse,+ chifukwa ngakhale munthu atakhala ndi zochuluka chotani, moyo wake suchokera m’zinthu zimene ali nazo.”+

10 Pakuti kukonda+ ndalama ndi muzu+ wa zopweteka za mtundu uliwonse,+ ndipo pokulitsa chikondi chimenechi, ena asocheretsedwa n’kusiya chikhulupiriro ndipo adzibweretsera zopweteka zambiri pathupi lawo.+
