Za kukhala ndi moyo mwa Khristu

1Tsono tinene chiyani? Kodi tinganene kuti tizingokhalabe mu uchimo kuti kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu kuchuluke?

2Iyai, mpang'ono pomwe. Tidachita ngati kufa nkulekana ndi uchimo. Nanga tingakhalebe mu uchimowo bwanji?

3Kodi inu simukudziŵa kuti tonse amene tidasanduka amodzi ndi Khristu Yesu pakubatizidwa, ndi ubatizo womwewo tidasandukanso amodzi ndi Iye mu imfa yake?

4Akol. 2.12Nchifukwa chake pa ubatizo tidachita ngati kufa ndi kuikidwa m'manda pamodzi naye, kuti monga Khristu adauka kwa akufa ndi mphamvu ya Atate, momwemonso ife tikhale ndi moyo watsopano.

5Ngati takhala amodzi ndi Khristu mu imfa yake, momwemonso tidzakhala amodzi naye pa kuuka kwa akufa, monga momwe adaukira Iyeyo.

6Tidziŵa kuti mkhalidwe wathu wakale udapachikidwa pa mtanda pamodzi ndi Khristu, kuti khumbo lathu lokonda machimo liwonongeke, ndipo tisakhalenso akapolo a uchimo.

7Pakuti munthu akafa, ndiye kuti wamasuka ku mphamvu ya uchimo.

8Tsono ngati tidafa pamodzi ndi Khristu, tikhulupirira kuti tidzakhalanso ndi moyo pamodzi ndi Iye.

9Tikudziŵa kuti Khristu adauka kwa akufa, ndipo sadzafanso. Imfa ilibenso mphamvu pa Iye.

10Kufa kumene adafako kunali kufa kolekana ndi uchimo, ndipo adafa kamodzi kokhako. Tsono moyo umene ali nawo tsopano ndi moyo woperekedwa kwa Mulungu.

11Momwemonso inuyo mudziwone ochita ngati kufa nkulekana ndi uchimo, koma okhala ndi moyo wotumikira Mulungu, mogwirizana ndi Khristu.

12Nchifukwa chake musalole uchimo kuti ulamulire matupi anu otha kufaŵa, ndipo musagonjere zilakolako zake.

13Musapereke chiwalo chilichonse cha thupi lanu ku uchimo, kuti chigwire ntchito zotsutsana ndi chilungamo. Inu mudzipereke kwa Mulungu, monga anthu amene anali akufa, koma tsopano ali amoyo. Ndipo mupereke ziwalo zanu zonse kwa Mulungu, kuti zigwire ntchito zachilungamo.

14Tsono uchimo sudzakhalanso ndi mphamvu pa inu, pakuti chimene chimalamulira moyo wanu si Malamulo ai koma kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu.

Akhristu azikhala ochita chilungamo

15Bwanji tsono? Kodi tizichimwabe popeza kuti chimene chimalamulira moyo wathu si Malamulo, koma kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu? Iyai, mpang'ono pomwe.

16Mukudziŵa paja kuti mukadzipereka kuti mukhale akapolo a munthu nkumamumvera, ndiye kuti ndinu akapolo a munthu womumverayo. Tsono ngati ndinu akapolo a uchimo, mudzafa. Koma ngati ndinu akapolo a Mulungu, mudzakhala olungama pamaso pake.

17Tiyamike Mulungu! Inu kale munali akapolo a uchimo, koma tsopano mukumvera ndi mtima wonse zoona za chiphunzitso chimene mudalandira.

18Mudamasulidwa ku uchimo, ndipo tsopano mwasanduka atumiki a Mulungu ochita zachilungamo.

19Ndikukupherani fanizo la ukapololi kuti mungalephere kumvetsa bwino zimenezi. Kale munkadzipereka kuti mukhale akapolo a zonyansa ndi zosalongosoka zonkirankira. Chonchonso tsopano mudzipereke kuti musanduke atumiki a Mulungu ochita zachilungamo, kuti mukhale oyera mtima.

21Nanga pamenepo mudapindula chiyani pakuchita zinthu zimene tsopano mukuchita nazo manyazi? Pajatu zimene zija mathero ake ndi imfa.
