Ndipo abale ndinawafotokozera uthenga wabwino umene ndikuulalikira kwa anthu a mitundu ina. Koma ndinachita zimenezi mwachinsinsi kwa abale odalirika okha pofuna kutsimikizira kuti utumiki wanga sukupita pachabe. 3 Ndipo ngakhale kuti Tito,+ amene ndinali naye limodzi anali Mgiriki, sanakakamizidwe kuti adulidwe.+ 4 Koma nkhani imeneyi inayambika chifukwa cha abale achinyengo amene analowa pakati pathu mwakachetechete+ ndiponso mozemba ngati akazitape, nʼcholinga choti asokoneze ufulu+ umene tikusangalala nawo mogwirizana ndi Khristu Yesu, nʼkutisandutsa akapolo.+ 5 Anthu amenewa sitinawagonjere,+ ngakhale kwa kanthawi kochepa,* kuti inuyo mupitirize kukhala ndi choonadi cha uthenga wabwino.

Ngakhale Baranaba nayenso anachita nawo zachiphamasozi.* 14 Koma nditaona kuti sankachita zinthu mogwirizana ndi choonadi cha uthenga wabwino,+ ndinauza Kefa* pamaso pa onse kuti: “Ngati iweyo, ngakhale kuti ndiwe Myuda, ukukhala ngati anthu a mitundu ina, osati ngati Ayuda, nʼchifukwa chiyani ukufuna kuchititsa anthu a mitundu ina kuti azitsatira chikhalidwe cha Ayuda?”+

Tachita zimenezi chifukwa palibe munthu amene amaonedwa wolungama chifukwa chotsatira chilamulo.+ 17 Ndiye ngati ife tapezekanso kuti ndife ochimwa pamene tikuyesetsa kuti tiyesedwe olungama kudzera mwa Khristu, kodi ndiye kuti Khristu wakhala mtumiki wa uchimo? Ayi ndithu. 18 Ngati ndikumanganso zinthu zimene ndinagwetsa, ndiye kuti ndikusonyeza kuti ndine wophwanya malamulo. 19 Chifukwa choti ndinkatsatira chilamulo, ndinafa ku chilamulo+ kuti ndikhale moyo nʼkumatumikira Mulungu. 20 Ndinakhomereredwa pamtengo limodzi ndi Khristu.+ Si inenso amene ndikukhala ndi moyo,+ koma Khristu ndi amene ali ndi moyo ndipo ndi wogwirizana ndi ine. Zoonadi, moyo umene ndikukhala tsopano, ndikukhala mokhulupirira Mwana wa Mulungu,+ amene anandikonda nʼkudzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ine.+ 21 Sindikukana* kukoma mtima kwakukulu kwa Mulungu,+ chifukwa ngati munthu amakhala wolungama potsatira chilamulo, ndiye kuti Khristu anangofa pachabe.+
