Iye te kakukaula yize akulilongesa, kashika hakupalika cha miaka yaali iye yaputuka wenyi ni Paulu. Hakupalika cha miaka 16, Paulu yasonekena Timoteu ngwenyi: “Nyongonona mu yuma yize hiunalilongesa, ni yize hiunayisela chinyingi, se unanyingika yoze wakulongeseleyo; chize ku ukemba we hiunanyingika je sona jisandu [Yisoneko ya Hepreu], jize jinahase kukufumba mana mukuzuka ulamwino ku ufulielo uze uli muli Kristu Yesu.” (2 Timoteu 3:14, 15) Tala ngwe, hano Paulu kambile kuli Timoteu (1) te kanyingikine sona jisandu, (2) kasele chinyingi ha kufuliela yuma yize alilongesele, nawa (3) yapwa ni mana mukuzuka ulamwino ku ufulielo uze uli muli Kristu Yesu.

Kulutwe, yapwa ni shindakenyo ngwenyi Yesu mwe te Mesaya. Ufulielo wa Timoteu te ukolo, kashika amupapachishile ni kukalakala mulimo wa mishionaliu hamwe ni Paulu.

(A-Efwesu 3:18) Mutuhasa kwaalongesa mu jila yize mahasa kwivwa kanawa umwenemwene kulita ni miaka yo. Muze ufulielo wo ha yize analilongesa muukola, muchipwa chashi kuli ayo kukalila ufulielo wo kuli akwo ni kuli waze alilongesa no ku shikola.

Kutala yize Mbimbiliya yakwamba, shina yakwaalumbunukina?a (Tala maliji mushi lia lifwo.) Iwulukenu ngwenu nwatamba kupwa yihumikiji mba nukwase ana jenu afuliele mu Liji lia Zambi, nyi nwalinga chocho shinoho.—Shimbi Yamuchiali 6:6, 7.
