Potsirizira pake atazindikira kuti kalingaliridwe kake kanali kolakwa, Asafu anati: “Ndikadati, ndidzafotokozera chotere, Taonani, ndikadachita chosakhulupirika ndi mbadwo wa ana ako. Pamene ndinayesa kudziŵitsa ichi, ndinavutika nacho; mpaka ndinaloŵa m’zoyera za Mulungu, ndi kulingalira chitsiriziro chawo. Indedi muwaika poterera: muwagwetsa kuti muwaononge.

(Agalatiya 6:7) Popeza kuti afulatira dala Uyo yekha amene akhoza kuwathandiza, iwo ali osoŵa chochita, opanda chiyembekezo. Pamene Yehova achitapo kanthu motsutsana nawo, adzanyansidwa ndi “chithunzithunzi chawo”​—kutchuka kwawo ndi malo awo.
