21 koma ndichite mogwirizana ndi zimene Malemba amanena kuti: “Amene sanauzidwepo za iye adzamuona, ndipo amene sanamve adzazindikira.”+
22 Nʼchifukwa chakenso ndakhala ndikulephera kubwera kwa inu.
23 Koma tsopano kulibenso gawo limene sindinafikeko mʼmadera amenewa, ndipo kwa zaka zambiri* ndakhala ndikulakalaka kufika kwanuko.
24 Choncho ndili ndi chikhulupiriro kuti ndikamadzapita ku Sipaniya ndidzaonana nanu ndipo ndikadzacheza nanu kwakanthawi, mudzandiperekeza pa ulendo wangawo.
