"Ana anga aang'ono, zinthu izi ndikulemberani, kuti musachimwe." 1 Yohane 2:1. "Ndikulemberani inu anyamata, chifukwa mwagonjetsa woipayo." 1 Yohane 2:13. "Koma zikomo kwa Mulungu, amene nthawi zonse amatitsogolera ife mu chigonjetso kudzera mwa Khristu." 2 Akorinto 2:14 (ERV).

Machimo awo onse akhululukidwa; iwo amachirimika m'chikhulupiriro chawo mwa Mulungu ndipo amanga moyo wawo pa Thanthwe, lomwe ndi Khristu. Iwo ndi osasunthika.
