18 Ana inu, ino ndi nthawi yakumapeto,+ ndipo monga mmene munamvera kuti wokana Khristu akubwera,+ ngakhale panopa alipo okana Khristu ambiri.+ Chifukwa cha zimenezi timadziwa kuti ino ndi nthawi yakumapeto. 19 Amenewo anachoka pakati pathu, koma sanali m’gulu lathu,+ chifukwa akanakhala a m’gulu lathu, akanakhalabe ndi ife.+ Sikuti onse ali m’gulu lathu ayi, ndipo iwo achoka m’gulu lathu, kuti zimenezi zidziwike.+ 20 Inu munadzozedwa ndi woyerayo,+ ndipo nonsenu ndinu odziwa choonadi.+ 21 Ndikukulemberani izi, osati chifukwa chakuti simudziwa choonadi,+ koma chifukwa chakuti mukuchidziwa,+ ndiponso chifukwa chakuti palibe bodza lililonse limene limachokera m’choonadi.+
22 Kodi wabodza angakhalenso ndani, kuposa amene amatsutsa kuti Yesu ndiye Khristu?+ Ameneyu ndiye wokana Khristu,+ amene amakana Atate ndi Mwana.+ 23 Aliyense amene amakana Mwana sangakhale pa ubwenzi ndi Atate.+ Amene wavomereza+ Mwana amakhalanso pa ubwenzi ndi Atate.+ 24 Koma zimene inu munamva pa chiyambi zikhalebe mumtima mwanu.+ Zimene munamva pa chiyambi zikakhalabe mumtima mwanu, mudzakhalanso ogwirizana+ ndi Mwana ndi Atate.+ 25 Ndipotu, lonjezo limene iye watipatsa ndi la moyo wosatha.+
26 Ndikukulemberani za anthu amene akufuna kukusocheretsani.+ 27 Inuyo, Mulungu anakudzozani ndi mzimu+ ndipo mzimu umenewo udakali mwa inu. Chotero simukufunikira wina aliyense kuti azikuphunzitsani,+ koma popeza kuti munadzozedwadi moona+ osati monama, chifukwa cha kudzozedwako, mukuphunzitsidwa zinthu zonse.+ Monga mmene mwaphunzitsidwira, pitirizani kukhala ogwirizana+ naye. 28 Tsopano inu ana anga okondedwa,+ khalanibe ogwirizana+ naye, kuti akadzaonetsedwa,+ tidzakhale ndi ufulu wa kulankhula.+ Kutinso tisadzachititsidwe manyazi ndi kuchotsedwa kwa iye pa nthawi ya kukhalapo*+ kwake. 29 Ngati mwadziwa kuti iye ndi wolungama,+ mwadziwa kuti aliyense wochita zolungama anabadwa kuchokera kwa iye.+
