⁷ Nanobe Jehova atsi emaKhristu lagcotjiwe alungile futsi angemadvodzana akhe, watsi naletinye timvu tilungile futsi tibangani bakhe ngenca yenhlawulo yaKhristu, tinkinga titawuvela njengobe sonkhe sisaphila kulamalanga ekugcina. (Rom. 5:9; Jak. 2:23) Kungaleso sizatfu kudzingeka sisebentise seluleko lesiphefumulelwe sekuchubeka ‘sibeketelelana.’ Singaba nabo njani bunye nalamanye emakholwa? Kudzingeka sibe ‘nekutfobeka, nebumnene.’ Ngetulu kwaloko, Pawula usikhutsata kutsi ‘sigcine bunye bemoya ngesibopho sekuthula.’ (Fundza Efesu 4:1-3.) Kusebentisa leseluleko kufaka ekhatsi kuvumela umoya waNkulunkulu kutsi usebente kitsi futsi uphindze uvete titselo tawo. Leto titselo titasisita kutsi silungise tinkinga letivelako emkhatsini wetfu, kunekutsi sehlukaniswe yimisebenti yenyama.

⁹ Ngako-ke sonkhe kudzingeka sitibute: ‘Ngetama kangakanani ‘kugcina bunye bemoya ngesibopho sekuthula’? Ngenta njani nakuvela tinkinga? Ngiyabatjela yini labanye bantfu ngendlela lengitiva ngayo, nginelitsemba lekutsi batangisekela? Ngilindzela kutsi labadzala belibandla bangilungisele tinkinga tami yini, kunekutsi ngente imetamo yekuba nekuthula naloyo lengicabene naye? Ngiyakugwema yini kutihlanganisa nalabanye ngesizatfu sekutsi kunalokutsite lokubi labangente kona futsi ngingabatjeli nangaloko lokungiphetse kabi?’ Tento letinjalo tiyaveta yini kutsi senta ngekuvumelana nenjongo yaJehova yekubutsela ndzawonye tonkhe tintfo kuKhristu?

10, 11. (a) Kubaluleke kangakanani kuba nekuthula nebazalwane betfu? (b) Ngutiphi tento letingenta kube nekuthula ekukhonteni Jehova?

¹⁰ Jesu watsi: “Ngako nangabe utawunikela ngesipho sakho elatini kuNkulunkulu, bese ukhumbula kutsi umnakenu unemavundvo nawe, sishiye khona lapho embikwelilati sipho sakho, uhambe uyekubuyisana nemnakenu, bese uyabuya-ke utewunikela ngesipho sakho. Sheshisa ucolisane” naye. (Mat. 5:23-25) Jakobe wabhala kutsi “bantfu labaletsa kuthula, basuke bahlanyela kuthula, bese bavuna kulunga.” (Jak. 3:17, 18) Ngako-ke, angeke sikwati kutiphatsa ngendlela lelungile nangabe site kuthula.

Kodvwa nangabe kutfolakala kutsi kunemayini, balimi bayawayekela emasimu abo, bantfu baphelelwe ngimisebenti, futsi nemadolobha awakutfoli kahle kudla. Ngendlela lefananako, kutfutfuka ebuhlotjeni betfu naJehova kungavimbeka nangabe buntfu betfu benta kube matima kutsi sibe nekuthula nalabanye. Kodvwa nasitsetselela ngalokukhululekile futsi sentela labanye tintfo letinhle, kungaba nesimo lesihle lesibangela kuthula ekukhonteni Jehova.
