A carne
A carne representa a natureza pecaminosa que milita contra o Espírito. A Bíblia ensina que os que pertencem a Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões e desejos.
Carne versus Espírito
Os que são segundo a carne inclinam-se para as coisas da carne. O nascido da carne é carne; o nascido do Espírito é Espírito.
Eye, ba bali mu udyata mu matsimi ma imuutu, bo bubaasalila manzala ma musunya, ka ba bali moonyi mu Livupu la Ngidi, bali mu usalila manzala ma Livupu. Manzala ma musunya mubabita hu lipfu. Ka usalila manzala ma Livupu, hubava moonyi na hyenze. Boosi ba bali hu tsina lituma bibaayaka manzala ma imuutu, bali baboho ba Nzambi. Mu tooni ati, bo a bubasiingala Mikele mya Nzambi ve, na a bubatwala tso hoole ve. Ni mu buuna, ba bali hu tsina lituma bibaayaka musunya, utwala umweese Nzambi kinya ve.
Ka benu, benu a lili mu udyata hu tsina lituma bibaayaka musunya ve. Benu lili mu udyata mu Livupu la Nzambi, mu tooni ati, Livupu la Nzambi lili mu benu. Muutu wu avele na Livupu la Kristo, a hali wa nde ve.
Bunuubu, boosi ba babaambana na Yisu Kristo a bubweyaka tsyembili ve. Mu tooni ati, mukele a Livupu la Ngidi wu ubava moonyi mu likumbasa la Yisu Kristo, amiiva me bunyanga ŋa busu bu mukele lisumu na lipfu. Mambu ma Mikele mya Moose myakaveletwala uvanga, mu tooni ikolili hi bumuutu, Nzambi avangi mo. Nde atsindihi Mwana a nde mu uba moonyi mu linyutu bibaayaka musunya, mana nde amaasa mukele lisumu, na uva lisumu tsyembili mutso a nyutu. Nzambi hasiidi buuna, mana nde akuhasa mambu moosi ma butsiitsa ma Mikele mili mu utuma bisu. Mambu mo maana, maafwana uvangama mu bisu ba laabweveledyata mu matsimi ma imuutu, ka ba lili mu udyata mu Livupu la Ngidi.
Mu tooni ati, tso benu lidyati mu manzala ma benu ma imuutu, benu sa likwa. Ka mu likumbasa bibaayaka Livupu la Ngidi, tso benu lidubi mavaanga ma mabi ma benu libasa mu nyutu a benu, benu sa liba moonyi. Ni mu buuna, baatu boosi ba Livupu la Nzambi libaasuungaha, bali bana ba Nzambi.
Me miitsikaha bunuubu: ŋa mbuha yi me tondi uvanga mambu ma mabwe, me ubaavaanga ndulu mambu ma mabi. Hutso matsimi ma mutima a me, me ndi na kinya mu matumili ma Nzambi. Ka me ndi mu umono hutso linyutu la me, tumili kima yi yibalwanisa tumili yi buyedi bwa me bubasilasa. Yo yili mu ukitusa me kondaayi a mukele lisumu wu bibaayaka mu me.
Eye, ŋa bisu laaba hutso lituma bibaayaka imuutu, manzaala ma mabi ma Mikele myakatuma, maakabasala mutso linyutu la bisu loosi, mana bisu lisala bisalu bi byubita bisu hu lipfu.
Hi himiibutama mu musunya hili musunya, na hi himiibutama mu Livupu hili Livupu.
Ni Livupu la Nzambi libaava moonyi. Musunya a hali na tsongo ve. Mambu ma me ndeeli benu mali mu umata mu Livupu, na mali ma uva moonyi huli baatu.
Vencer a carne
Andai no Espírito e não cumprireis os desejos da carne. Os que são de Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões.
Ni mu buuna, me ndi mu undeele bu: Nyahaani Livupu libaatuma idiingu hya benu. Tso lisiidi buuna, benu alubwesingala tso hole, lituma li mapeyu ma musunya ve.
Ka mavaanga ma musunya mali ma maamonehele: ni bumbembo, mayamba, mbiili ya yayuhu, tsalili bifwita, bungaanga, iboho, midiingu, nyengi mu bana, mitsotso, mafufu, kabwili, makabu ma mabuli, peyu ubaha, kolili malamu, mikungi mi mubaka udya na unywa na mavaanga makima ma pila mo yiina. Me apfwana ubweyibusa benu we bu me mbedi amiitswamina uleele: ba bali mu usa mavaanga mo maana, a bu ukoto mu Ipfumu hya Nzambi ve.
Ka boosi ba bali mu Yisu Kristo baamiiduba linyutu la bo li masumu, na mapeyu na manzala ma lo.
Baana baa ngu, benu lili ba baateele mu uba bunyanga. Ka ndulu, benu a lisalila bunyanga mo buuna, mu ukuhasa mapeyu ma musunya ve. Ka nyahaani mukele litondo atuma benu, mana benu li baasalasana.
Woosi wu ubaakuna mu musunya, nde sa akuukaha bi byabolo; bi bibaabita hu lipfu. Ka woosi wu ubaakuna mu Livupu, nde wuuna sa akuukaha bya moonyi wu bilima na bilima.
Mono bi libaateele bisiha bya tsi: manzala ma mabi ma imuutu, linyungi li musunya, linyungi la miisu, nyeme yi busina bwosi bu benu lili na bwo. Bisiha mo biina byosi, a bili mu umata huli Taata ve, ka byo bili bya tsi.
Mu itwadi hya na nde, baaketi benu. Ka a mu ketili a myoho mya baatu ve, ka ketili yi yaamata huli Kristo. Na nde li mu uyobolo bisu mu ma mali mu ubita bisu mu masumu.
Baani likanda na sambilaani, mana benu a libwa mu lobese. Iluunzi hili hi hyahwada, ka imuutu hili hi hyakolo.»
Monwaani ma me tondi uleele, baana ba ngu, nyutu yi musunya na makila utwala ubaha mukobe a Ipfumu hya Nzambi ve. Hi hibaabolo, utwala ubaambana na hi hibaavelebolo ve.
