12 Choncho tsopano, aliyense wa ife adzafotokoza yekha kwa Mulungu.
13 Motero, tiyeni tisiye kuweruzana wina ndi mnzake. Mʼmalo mwake, tsimikizani mʼmaganizo anu kuti musayike chokhumudwitsa kapena chotchinga mʼnjira ya mʼbale wanu. 14 Monga mmodzi amene ndili mwa Ambuye Yesu, ndine wotsimikiza mtima kuti palibe chakudya chimene pachokha ndi chodetsedwa. Koma ngati wina atenga china chake kukhala chodetsedwa, kwa iyeyo ndi chodetsedwa. 15 Ngati mʼbale wako akuvutika chifukwa cha chimene umadya, iwe sukuchitanso mwachikondi. Usamuwononge mʼbale wako amene Khristu anamufera chifukwa cha chakudya chakocho. 16 Musalole kuti chimene muchiyesa chabwino achinene ngati choyipa. 17 Pakuti Ufumu wa Mulungu si nkhani yakudya ndi kumwa, koma chilungamo, mtendere ndi chimwemwe mwa Mzimu Woyera. 18 Nʼchifukwa chake aliyense amene atumikira Khristu mʼnjira iyi akondweretsa Mulungu ndi kuvomerezedwa ndi anthu.
19 Tsono tiyeni tiyesetse kuchita zimene zidzabweretsa mtendere ndi kulimbikitsana mwachikondi. 20 Musawononge ntchito ya Mulungu chifukwa cha chakudya.

11 Ndipo akutinso,

12 Ndiponso Yesaya akuti,
“Muzu wa Yese udzaphuka,
wina amene adzauka kulamulira anthu a mitundu ina;

13 Mulungu amene amatipatsa chiyembekezo adzaze mitima yanu ndi chimwemwe ndi mtendere pamene mukumudalira Iye, kuti chiyembekezo chanu chisefukire mwamphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera.
