Koma masiku apitawa, ndidazindikira kuti Ambuye wathu amangonena, "Khalani komwe muli ndikukhala mawu anga akufuula mchipululu…"

Mulungu wapereka kwaulere, ndipo ndikufuna kukupatsani kwaulere. Monga Yesu adanena,

Timayesetsa kuchita zimenezi mwanzeru ndiponso mowolowa manja momwe tingathere. Koma St.
