3 Abale anga, ambiri musakhale aphunzitsi chifukwa mumadziwa kuti aphunzitsife tidzaweruzidwa mowuma kuposa anthu ena onse. 2 Tonsefe timapunthwa mʼnjira zambiri. Ngati wina salakwa poyankhula, ameneyo ndi munthu wangwiro, wodziwa kuyangʼanira bwino thupi lake lonse.
3 Tikayika tizitsulo mʼkamwa mwa akavalo kuti atimvere, timatha kuwongolera thupi lake lonse. 4 Taonani sitima zapamadzi. Ngakhale ndi zazikulu kwambiri ndipo zimakankhidwa ndi mphepo yamphamvu, zimawongoleredwa ndi tsigiro lalingʼono kulikonse kumene woyendetsayo akufuna kupita. 5 Momwemonso, lilime ndi kachiwalo kakangʼono ka thupi koma limadzitama kuti nʼkuchita zikuluzikulu. Tangoganizirani za nkhalango yayikulu imene ingapse ndi kalawi kamoto koyamba mochepa. 6 Lilime nalonso ndi moto, dziko la zoyipa pakati pa ziwalo za thupi. Limawononga munthu yense wathunthu. Limayika zonse za moyo wake pa moto, ndipo moto wake ndi wochokera ku gehena.

Abale anga, zisamatero ayi. 11 Kodi madzi abwino ndi a mchere angatuluke pa kasupe mmodzi? 12 Abale anga, kodi mtengo wa mkuyu nʼkubala mphesa, kapena mtengo wampesa nʼkubala nkhuyu? Kasupe wa madzi a mchere sangatulutsenso madzi abwino.
