Katekisimu wa Katolika, n. Zamgululi Monga akunena m'mawu oyamba:

Zinthu zakale sizidzakumbukiridwa kapena kukumbukiridwa.

Timapangidwa atsopano kuchokera mkati. Ndipo izi ndizoposa "kutembenuza tsamba latsopano" kapena "kuyambiranso"; Kuposa kufafanizidwa kwa machimo anu. Zikutanthauza kuti mphamvu ya uchimo pa inu yathyoledwa; zikutanthauza kuti Ufumu wa Mulungu uli mwa inu tsopano; zikutanthauza kuti moyo watsopano wachiyero ndi wotheka kudzera mu chisomo. Chotero, St. Paul akuti:

Chifukwa chake, kuyambira tsopano sitiyesa munthu monga mwa thupi; ngakhale kuti tinamdziwa Kristu kale monga mwa thupi, koma tsopano sitimzindikiranso chotero. Chotero yense amene ali mwa Khristu ali wolengedwa watsopano: zinthu zakale zapita; taonani, zafika zatsopano. ( 2 Kor. 5:16-17 )

Ichi ndi chowonadi champhamvu, ndipo chifukwa chake chilankhulo chomwe timagwiritsa ntchito masiku ano kwa omwerekera chikhoza kusokeretsa. "Ndikadakhala chizoloŵezi, chizoloŵezi choledzeretsa," ena amati, kapena "Ndine chizoloŵezi cha zolaula" kapena "chidakwa", ndi zina zotero. Inde, pali kuchenjera kwina pozindikira kufooka kwa munthu kapena zomwe amakonda ...

Mwa ufulu Khristu anatimasula; chifukwa chake chirimikani ndipo musabwererenso ku goli la ukapolo. (Agal. 5: 1)

…koma mwa Khristu, mmodzi ali a chilengedwe chatsopano-taonani, zafika zatsopano. Chotero, musakhale ndi moyo monga munthu amene nthaŵi zonse amakhala pampando wa kubwerera m’mbuyo, nthaŵi zonse mumthunzi wa “munthu wakale,” nthaŵi zonse kudzilingalira nokha “monga mwa thupi.”

Pakuti Mulungu sanatipatsa mzimu wamantha, koma wa mphamvu, ndi chikondi, ndi kudziletsa. ( 2 Timoteo 1:7 )

Inde, kufooka kwa dzulo ndi chifukwa cha kudzichepetsa kwamakono: muyenera kusintha moyo wanu, kuchotsa mayesero, ngakhale kusintha abwenzi ngati akupanga zokopa zosayenera. ^[2]‘Musanyengedwe: “Mayanjano oipa aipsa makhalidwe abwino.’ — 1 Akor. 15:33 Ndipo muyenera kudzipezera nokha zabwino zonse zofunika kudyetsa ndi kulimbikitsa mtima wanu watsopano, monga pemphero ndi Masakramenti. Ndicho chimene chimatanthauza “kuima nji.”

Koma kwezani mutu wanu, mwana wa Mulungu, ndi kulengeza mwachisangalalo kuti, mwasayansi, sindinu mwamuna amene munali dzulo, osati mkazi amene analipo kale. Iyi ndi mphatso yodabwitsa yogulidwa ndi kulipiridwa ndi mwazi wa Khristu!

Munali mdima, koma tsopano muli kuunika mwa Ambuye. ( Aefeso 5:8 )

Kufa mu uchimo wathu, Kristu “watiukitsa pamodzi ndi Iye, natikhazika pamodzi ndi Iye m’Mwamba”. ^[3]cf. Aef 2:6 Ngakhale mutapunthwa, chisomo cha Confession chimabwezeretsa chilengedwe chatsopano chimene inu muli tsopano. Simunakonzedwenso kulephera koma, kupyolera mwa Kristu, kuvumbula ubwino waumulungu wa Mulungu “kuti moyo wa Yesu uonekerenso m’thupi [lanu].” ^[4]onani. 2 Akorinto 4:10

Munasanduliza kulira kwanga kukhala kuvina; Yehova, Mulungu wanga, ndidzakuyamikani kosatha. (Lero Masalimo)
