“Yonkhe imiBhalo iphefumulelwe nguNkulunkulu; ilungele kufundzisa, nekusola, nekucondzisa, nekuyala ngekulunga, kuze umuntfu waNkulunkulu atewuhlonyiswa alungele kwenta wonkhe umsebenti lomuhle lamiselwe wona.”—2 THIMOTHI 3:16, 17.

LELICOCO lemagama langenhla lanemfutfo lakhulunywa ngumphostoli Pawula achaza liBhayibheli njengencwadzi ledla lubhedvu. Pawula abekhulumela imiBhalo yesiHebheru nobe Lithestamente Lelidzala njengobe Lithestamente Lelisha lalisengakabhalwa ngaleso sikhatsi. Ingcikitsi yemavi alomphostoli asebenta kuto tonkhe tincwadzi letingu-66 teliBhayibheli letifaka ekhatsi tincwadzi letabhalwa bafundzi baJesu labetsembekile ngelikhulu lekucala leminyaka C.E.

LiBhayibheli ulihlonipha kakhulu njengaPawula yini? Wena ucabanga kutsi babhali balo bebaphefumulelwe nguNkulunkulu sibili yini? EmaKhristu angelikhulu lekucala leminyaka abecabanga kanjalo. Loko solo akukashintji kumaKhristu eliciniso. LiNgisi lelingu-John Wycliffe lelaphila ngelikhulu lesi-14 leminyaka, latsatsa liBhayibheli “njengencwadzi yeliciniso.” Sichazamagama i-The New Bible Dictionary sasho naku lokulandzelako ngemavi aPawula lacashunwe lapha ngenhla, “kuphefumulelwa kweliBhayibheli kuchaza kutsi lifundzisa emaciniso odvwa.”

UMPHOSTOLI PAWULA abesho kutsini ngalesikhatsi atsi liBhayibheli ‘liphefumulelwe nguNkulunkulu’? (2 Thimothi 3:16) Pawula lowabhala ngelulwimi lwesiGriki, wasebentisa inkhulumo levamile letsi “Nkulunkulu waphefumulela.” Pawula abesho kutsi Nkulunkulu wasebentisa umoya wakhe longcwele kute acondzise babhali beliBhayibheli babhale loko lokufunwa nguYe.
