Taganizirani izi: Pamene Yehova ankatikoka kuti tikhale naye pa ubwenzi, ankadziwa kuti tizilakwitsa zinthu zina. (Yoh. 6:44) Popeza Mulungu amatidziwa bwino komanso amadziwa zimene zili mumtima mwathu, ayeneranso kuti ankadziwa zinthu zimene zidzativute kusintha. Ankadziwanso kuti nthawi zina tingachite tchimo.

Ndipo munaphunzitsidwa kuti mukhale atsopano mu mphamvu yoyendetsa maganizo anu, ndi kuvala umunthu watsopano umene unalengedwa mogwirizana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu ndipo umatsatira zofunika pa chilungamo chenicheni ndi pa kukhulupirika.” (Aef. 4:22-24) Mawu akuti “mukhale atsopano mu mphamvu yoyendetsa maganizo anu,” akusonyeza kuti kuvala umunthu watsopano kuyenera kuchitika mopitirizabe. Zimenezi n’zolimbikitsa kwambiri chifukwa zikusonyeza kuti kaya takhala tikutumikira Yehova kwa nthawi yaitali bwanji, tingathe kumasinthabe n’kumavala umunthu watsopano.
