Ayai ni ciphatano canyi cingawoneke pakati pa ceza na mdima? 15 Ni kubverana kuponi komwe kungakhale pakati pa Krixtu na Sathani?‡Sathani: MuciGiriki ambalewa kuti: “Beliar”. Wakupemba angaphatane na wakusaya kupemba? 16 Pangakhale cipangano pakati pa Nyumba ya Mulungu na bzifanikizo? Nakuti ndife nyumba yakucena ya Mulungu wamoyo. Ninga momwe adalewera Mulungu kuti:

ndipo nin'dzafamba pakati pawo.
Nin'dzakhala Mulungu wawo,
ndipo iwo an'dzakhala mbumba yangu”§Lev 26.12, Eze 37.27.
