Anthu Okana Khristu Ana anga, ino ndi nthawi yotsiriza, ndipo monga munamva kale kuti anthu okana Khristu akubwera, ngakhale tsopano okana Khristu ambiri afika kale. Zimenezi zikutisonyeza kuti ino ndi nthawi yotsiriza. Anthu amenewa anachoka pakati pathu, komatu sanali a mʼgulu lathu. Pakuti akanakhala a mʼgulu lathu, akanakhalabe nafe, koma kuchoka kwawo kunatisonyeza kuti sanali a mʼgulu lathu. Koma inu muli ndi kudzoza kochokera kwa Woyerayo, ndipo nonsenu mukudziwa choonadi. Sindikukulemberani chifukwa choti simudziwa choonadi ayi, koma chifukwa choti mumadziwa choonadicho, ndipo mukudziwanso kuti bodza silichokera pa choonadi. Wabodzayo ndani?

Aliyense amene ndi mwana wa Mulungu, sachimwirachimwira, popeza mbewu ya Mulungu ili mwa iye, sangathe kuchimwa, chifukwa ndi mwana wa Mulungu. Mmenemu ndi mmene timadziwira ana a Mulungu ndi amene ali ana a mdierekezi. Aliyense amene sachita chilungamo si mwana wa Mulungu; ngakhalenso amene sakonda mʼbale wake. Kukondana Wina ndi Mnzake Uthenga umene munawumva kuyambira pachiyambi ndi uwu: Tizikondana wina ndi mnzake. Musakhale ngati Kaini, amene anali wa woyipayo ndipo anapha mʼbale wake. Nanga anamupha chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa zochita zake zinali zoyipa ndipo zochita za mʼbale wake zinali zolungama. Abale anga, musadabwe ngati dziko lapansi lidana nanu.

Aliyense amene amadana ndi mʼbale wake ndi wakupha, ndipo inu mukudziwa kuti wopha anthu mwa iye mulibe moyo wosatha. Mmene timadziwira chikondi chenicheni ndi umu: Yesu anapereka moyo wake chifukwa cha ife. Ndipo nafenso tiyenera kupereka miyoyo yathu chifukwa cha abale athu. Ngati wina ali ndi chuma ndipo nʼkuona mʼbale wake akusowa, koma wosamvera chisoni, kodi mwa iyeyo muli chikondi cha Mulungu? Ana okondedwa, chikondi chathu chisakhale cha pakamwa pokha koma cha ntchito zathu ndi mʼchoonadi. Pamenepo tidzadziwa kuti tili pa choonadi ndipo tidzakhala okhazikika mtima pamaso pa Mulungu, nthawi zonse pamene mtima wathu utitsutsa. Pakuti Mulungu ndi wamkulu kuposa mitima yathu ndipo Iye amadziwa zonse. Anzanga okondedwa, ngati mitima yathu sikutitsutsa, tili nako kulimbika mtima pamaso pa Mulungu. Ndipo timalandira chilichonse chimene tichipempha kwa Iye, chifukwa timamvera malamulo ake ndi kuchita zimene zimamukondweretsa.

Ife ndi ochokera kwa Mulungu, ndipo aliyense amene amadziwa Mulungu amamvera zimene timayankhula. Koma aliyense amene sachokera kwa Mulungu samvera zimene timayankhula. Mmenemu ndiye mmene timasiyanitsira pakati pa mzimu wachoonadi ndi Mzimu wachinyengo. Mulungu ndiye Chikondi Anzanga okondedwa, tiyeni tikondane wina ndi mnzake, pakuti chikondi chimachokera kwa Mulungu. Aliyense amene ali ndi chikondi ndi mwana wa Mulungu ndipo amadziwa Mulungu.

Pakuti aliyense amene sakonda mʼbale wake, amene akumuona, sangathenso kukonda Mulungu amene sanamuone. Ndipo Iye anatipatsa lamulo lakuti: Aliyense amene amakonda Mulungu ayenera kukondanso mʼbale wake. Chikhulupiriro mwa Mwana wa Mulungu Aliyense amene amakhulupirira kuti Yesu ndi Khristu, iyeyo ndi mwana wa Mulungu, ndipo aliyense amene amakonda Atate amakondanso Mwana wake. Chodziwira kuti timakonda ana a Mulungu nʼchakuti timakonda Mulungu ndi kusunga malamulo ake. Pakuti kukonda Mulungu ndiye kusunga malamulo ake. Ndipo malamulo ake siwolemetsa, chifukwa aliyense amene ndi mwana wa Mulungu amagonjetsa dziko lapansi. Chikhulupiriro chathu ndicho timagonjetsera dziko lapansi. Ndani amagonjetsa dziko lapansi? Yekhayo amene amakhulupirira kuti Yesu ndi Mwana wa Mulungu. Uyu ndiye anabwera mwa madzi ndi magazi, ndiye Yesu Khristu. Sanabwere mwa madzi okha, koma mwa madzi ndi magazi.
