Vícios
A Bíblia nos alerta contra os vícios e comportamentos destrutivos. Deus nos chama à liberdade em Cristo, não à escravidão de desejos e hábitos que consomem corpo e alma.
A escravidão do pecado
Todo vício é uma forma de escravidão. Jesus veio para libertar os cativos e restaurar a verdadeira liberdade dos filhos de Deus.
Yesu nkaakhulha, "Ikekheene kinouhimeriani, kila ntu nowonya phi ipotta yo uwonya.
Mwaana ohiyererakani, nnohiyereriya wo ikekhiaye.

Resistência e domínio próprio
O fruto do Espírito inclui o domínio próprio. O cristão é chamado a ter controle sobre seus desejos, resistir à tentação e vigiar contra as obras da carne.

O corpo como templo
Nosso corpo é templo do Espírito Santo. Devemos honrar a Deus com o corpo, fugindo da embriaguez, da imoralidade e de toda impureza.
Ama chani, khanchuwenlhe wiira iruttu chinyu phi Inupa ya Iphumu ya Nlhuku rii nhina mwinyu, mwaapochenre inyu ukhuma wa Nlhuku? Mwaattiva etu, iruttu chinyu khachihiwe nhakhu inyu mwaashinene.

Nansho nnoopolheke ni ulhe o mitheko cho unanara ulhe.’
(Ukhalhawaya umwene uri wawinyu ni machiri ni nthimicho wo mahuku o uhimalha. Aye.)
Ukhalhawaya Malhove Matakatifu aneera,
"Thoko chinolhokelha aka, aneera Athithi,
Kila ntu noowa aakikhoromelha,
Ni kila ntu noowa aahimiechesha wiira mii phi Nlhuku."
Paahi etu kila mmoka ihu, noowa eevaraanga mwanene wa Nlhuku.
