Petro anati: “Pakutengeraponso changu chonse, muonjezerapo ukoma pachikhulupiriro chanu, ndi paukoma [chidziŵitso, NW]; ndi [pachidziŵitso, NW] chodziletsa; ndi pachodziletsa chipiriro; ndi pachipiriro [kudzipereka kwaumulungu, NW]; ndi [pakudzipereka kwamulungu, NW] chikondi cha pa abale; ndi pachikondi cha pa abale chikondi.” (2 Petro 1:5-7) Motero Petro amatipatsa mpambo umene tingachite bwino kuuloŵeza mumtima. Tiyeni tipende mikhalidwe imeneyi.

8. Kodi kudziletsa nchiyani, ndipo kodi kumagwirizanitsidwa motani ndi chipiriro?

⁸ Kuti tithandizidwe kulaka mayeso ndi chikhulupiriro, tifunikira kuwonjezera kudziletsa pachidziŵitso chathu. Liwu Lachigiriki lotanthauza “kudziletsa” limapereka lingaliro la kukhoza kwathu kudzilamulira. Chipatso cha mzimu wa Mulungu chimenechi chimatithandiza kusonyeza kudziletsa m’lingaliro, mawu, ndi m’khalidwe. Mwakupitirizabe kusonyeza kudziletsa, timawonjezera chipiriro. Liwu Lachigiriki lotembenuzidwa “chipiriro” limatanthauza kukhala wosasunthika molimba mtima, kusakhala wamantha ndi kusathaŵa mavuto osapeŵeka. Yesu anapirira pamtengo wozunzirapo chifukwa cha chisangalalo chimene chinaikidwa patsogolo pake. (Ahebri 12:2) Nyonga yopatsidwa ndi Mulungu yogwirizanitsidwa ndi chipiriro imalimbitsa chikhulupiriro chathu ndipo imatithandiza kusangalala munsautso, kulaka chiyeso, ndi kupeŵa kulolera molakwa pamene tizunzidwa.​—Afilipi 4:13.

⁹ Pachipiriro chathu, tiyenera kuwonjezeranso kudzipereka kwaumulungu​—mantha a ulemu, kulambira, ndi kutumikira Yehova. Chikhulupiriro chathu chimakula pamene tichita kudzipereka kwaumulungu ndi kuona mmene Yehova amachitira ndi anthu ake. Komabe, kuti tisonyeze umulungu, tifunikira kukonda abale. Ndiiko komwe, “iye wosakonda mbale wake amene wamuona, sakhoza kukonda Mulungu amene sanamuona.” (1 Yohane 4:20) Mitima yathu iyenera kutisonkhezera kusonyeza chikondi chowona kwa atumiki ena a Yehova ndi kufuna kuwachitira zabwino nthaŵi zonse. (Yakobo 2:14-17) Koma kodi nchifukwa ninji tikuuzidwa kuwonjezera chikondi pakukonda kwathu abale? Mwachiwonekere Petro anatanthauza kuti tiyenera kusonyeza chikondi kwa anthu onse, osati abale athu okha. Makamaka chikondi chimenechi chimasonyezedwa mwa kulalikira mbiri yabwino ndi kuthandiza anthu mwauzimu.​—Mateyu 24:14; 28:19, 20.
