Sonyezani chikhulupiriro chanu kwa ine popanda ntchito, ndipo ndikuwonetsani chikhulupiriro changa kwa inu kuchokera pantchito zanga. (Yakobo 2:18).
Ndipo ntchito zomwe Yesu amafuna kuti tichite zitha kufotokozedwa mwachidule mu lamulo limodzi:
Ili ndilo lamulo langa: kondanani wina ndi mzake, monga ndakonda inu. (Juwau 15:12)

Chimakwirira zinthu zonse, chimakhulupirira zinthu zonse, chimayembekezera zinthu zonse, chimapirira zinthu zonse. (1 Akorinto 13: 4-7)
