17 Mofanana ndi zimenezi, Mulungu pofuna kuwatsimikizira kwambiri anthu olandira lonjezolo monga cholowa chawo,+ kuti chifuniro chake n’chosasinthika,+ anachita kulumbira pa zimene analonjezazo.

18 Pakuti mwa chifuniro+ chake, iye anatibala ife ndi mawu a choonadi.+ Anachita zimenezi kuti tikhale zipatso zoyambirira+ pa zolengedwa zake.
