Lukuli lumwe luna vilungo vingi

12 Chilisito ni fana viya lukuli lumwe lwili na vilungo vingi, ingawa utendigwa muna ivilungo mbasakanyo lung’hali lukuli lumwe.

13 Cheye chose chibatizigwa kwa Muhe imwe muna ulukuli lumwe, kwa Wayahudi na wanhu weli siyo Wayahudi, kwa watumwa hebu kwa wailegehe na cheye chose ching’wizigwa na Muhe imwe.

14 Kwaviya lukuli lwenyewo hautendigwe kwa chilungo chimwe muhala, ila vilungo vingi. 15 One mgulu wahalonga, "Kwaviya niye si mkono, niye si wa lukuli," si wa lukuli kwa ichimu icho? 16 Na one gutwi dihalonga, "Kwaviya niye sili ziso, niye si wa lukuli", vino kwa ichimu icho sigambediwe chilungo cha lukuli? Siivo bule! 17 Iviya one lukuli lose luhawile ziso, kuhulika kwa kulihi? Na one yahakalile magutwi muhala, lwahadahile vilihi kunusa? 18 Mbali Mulungu keka chila chilungo mbasakanyo muna ulukuli lwa munhu fana viyalondile. 19 One vose viwile chilungo chimwe muhala, sigambe kuwe na lukuli. 20 Fana viili, vilungo ni vingi mbali lukuli ni lumwe muhala.

21 Ivo ziso hadidaha kuulongela mkono, "Weye sikulonda!" Wala ditwi hadidaha kuilongela migulu, "Mweye simulondani!" 22 Mbali, hachidaha kusang’hana bila vilungo va lukuli voviwoneka vinyondenyonde. 23 Na vilungo viya vichigesile kuwa havilondeka kwing’higwa hishima ng’hulu, ivo vochivilola goya ng’hani, vinhu va lukuli vili vilungo va chinyala ivo vichika goya ng’hani. 24 Mbali vilungo vetu vinogile ng’hani havilondeka. Mbali Mulungu mwenyewo kalwika lukuli muna umpango, kaving’ha unovu ng’hani viungo viya vihungukilwe unovu, 25 muladi sekekuwe na kuigola muna ulukuli, ila vilungo vose viigese. 26 One chilungo chimwe chahalumila, viungo vimwenga vose volumila hamwe nacho, na one chiungo chimwe chihahishimigwa, viungo vimwenga vose vodeng’helela hamwe nacho.

27 Ivo mweye mose ni lukuli lwa Chilisito, na chila imwe wenu ni chilungo cha lukuli ulo.
