Ananena kuti: “Mtundu udzaukirana ndi mtundu wina, ndipo ufumu udzaukirana ndi ufumu wina. Kudzakhala njala ndi zivomezi m’malo osiyanasiyana.” Onani kuti Yesu ananena kuti pa nthawiyi kudzakhala njala komanso zivomezi. Kuyambira mu 1914, padzikoli pakhala pakuchitika zinthu zoipa ngati zimenezi. Si choncho?
