Inkosazana Indlela Yokuqondisa Ukuthuthukiswa Okunokuvumelana KweKharaktha YobuKristu

Uthando

Ngomh Harvey Newcomb

Nakuba ngibe njengo ohlala ubude obukhulu phezu kwezi zivuno zeMoya, kodwa ke ngizwa njengo oncindezelekileyo ngobuhle nobumnandi obuthe xaxa begrace yothando, ukuthi ngiyaphoqwa ukuncoma kubafundi bami ngomchapo ozikhethele. Uthando ndio mfazi omkhulu wezibusiso, ekhuluma ngisho nokholo nokuthemba, futhi uhlala njengo zonke izipho ezikhazimulisa ikharaktha zayeka ukukhanga kwazo; futhi, nakuba ungabi nazo iimpawu zobuqu obukhulu, ubuhle obuphezulu, noma amandla amakhulu ocingweni, kodwa, uma wenza njengo "uthando olubeka phezu," wena, njengo uMsindisi oBlazekileyo, "ukhula ekuthandeni kukaThixo nomuntu."

Umpostoli ubiza uthando "isibopho sokuphelela;" "esikhuluma ngebhande labantu baseMpumalanga, elingathengwa nje kuphela, kodwa libekwa ekugcineni, lisebenza ukulungisa ezinye iingxenye zezingubo, nokugcina yonke into ndawonye." Yisibopho esibamba zonke izibusiso zikaKristu ekhonzani emunini, futhi, ngokuzigcina ndawonye, ziqinisekisa ukuphelela nokuvumelana kwekharaktha. Ngaphandle kwebhande, iingubo ezigeleza zezingubo zabaseMpumalanga zabe zinobuhlungu, kancane kusebenza iinjongo zokuhlazeka. Kwayo umpostoli uqukumbhela ukuthi izipho ezikhazimulisa kakhulu nezinto ezinkulu zenziwa njengo zinto zingenalutho ngaphandle kothando.

Uthando lusho ukulahlwa kwentliziyo enobuhle—uthando kuThixo, nokuthanda okuhle komuntu—kuchithwa ngomkhiwane wekharaktha nokuziphatha. Kodwa into yami engukuthi, kule chapo, ndiyakuqwalasela ekubonakaleni kwayo, ekuthandaneni kwethu nabantu; ngokuthatha inkcazo kaPaul yegrace le yeshap. 13 ye 1 Korinte, nokuyisebenzisa ukuze ithole ngokungalunganga ukuziphatha okungavumelani nothando, nokuthi umphumela wothando wekharaktha yomuntu.

Umpostoli uthi, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

I. Uthando lunomdla. Luyokubeka ubunzima, lupende ukuhlupheka kunokwenzeka ukulwa. Aluyi ngci kwizinto zokuqala ezingafuneki, kodwa lunomdla ekubekezeleni ukwenzakala njengokoko kunokubekezelwa. Yakuba uthando lubusa ekuyeni kwakho, uya kuzingqala ukuba zininzi kangakanani na izono zakho ezimbi ezibhekene noThixo, yaye nokuba umdla wakhe uyabeka ubunzima ekubeni kwakho, yaye usuku ngalozuku ukunika iinzuzo; yaye ngaba uyakwazi ukungabeki ubunzima ekubeni kwakho kokuqala okuvela kumntu yakini? Zingqala, kwakhona, ukuba kunokwenzeka kangakanani na ukuba wena uyenze into ezingafuneki kwabanye, yaye ubeke ubunzima ekubekezeleni kwakho ngenxa yobuthakathaka bakho. Ngakho, musa ukhawuleza ekudleni kwakho imicabango emibi kwabanye, nokungabeki ubunzima ekubeni kwakho kwiziphoso zabo nobuthakathaka. Ingakanani na ingqumbo yaye ingqumbo ingathintelwa ngomdla omncinci! Yaye ngubani na osempilweni kangangokuba angazidingi ukuba umdla wabanye ubekezelwe kuye? Ubunzima bempilo yoluntu buye bunciphe kakhulu ngenxa yokuziqhelisa komdla omdla; yaye abana bafumani ndawo phantsi kolawulo olumnandi loluthando.

II. Uthando lunomdla. "Lunomdla, lunika, lunobubele, yaye luyabopha." Kodwa kutheni umpostile abeka ezi meko zimbini ndawonye? "Uthando lunomdla, yaye lunomdla." Ngokucacileyo, kuba umdla, ngaphandle kobubele, awuyi kuba nenzuzo. Yakuba ubeka ubunzima ekwenzakaleni okanye okuqondwa njengokwenzakala kwomnye, yaye uvumele ingqondo yakho ibadliwe, yaye iinkonzo zakho ezimnandi zishiywe, isilonda siya kubola yaye sichitheke kude kuthi kubuke ngamandla alishumi. Kodwa ububele botemperi, yaye umzi oqhelekileyo wezenzo zobubele nezenzo ezintle, ziya kuthomalalisa ubi-temperamenti, yaye ziya kuzisa lowo wenzakalisayo ukuba abone ubuwula beendlela zakhe. "Impendulo yobubele iguqula ukucasukwa, yaye ukuphatha umtshaba ngobubele kuya kugalela amalahle agungqayo ekhandeni lakhe." Yini na ekunokuba yinto emnandi ngakumbi kunobubele nothando oluthile, oluthokoza kwizikhathi nezikhundla zokunikela ekuthuthuzeleni yaye ekuyonwabiseni kwabanye?

Lokhu ukuziphatha kuhlobisa ngesisa esikhethekileyo umuntu wesifazane. USolomoni, echaza umuntu wesifazane olungileyo, uthi, "Emlimweni wakhe kukhona umthetho wobumnandi." Uma ukhuthalela lokhu kuziphatha ngamandla, nangaphi na, nokuba ukhona, ukuba khona kwako kuya kwengeza umkhango kuwo wonke umbutho; uyakuhlonipha iNkosi yakho, nawe amandla akho okuthuthukisa imsebenzi wakhe ayakwandiswa kakhulu. Emzamo wakho wokwenza okuhle, ngomthetho wobumnandi emlithweni wakho, ungena lapho, ngaphandle kwalo, ungena khona; kuthi, ekukhulumeni kwako nabo abangaguquki, ungena enhliziyweni ngokubonisa umoya omuhle nothandekayo, lapho okungenjalo uyakukhothwa. Ngakumbi lokhu kuziphatha kudingeka kakhulu kumfundisi weSikole seSabatha. Ngaphandle kwalo akanzi lutho. Abantwana abakwazi ukuwonwa ngaphandle kobumnandi. Uma, yabe, ufuna ukuphumelela kule ndawo yothando, khuthalela ukunakekela okuhle kubantwana abancane, ube nothando kubo nanini uma ubona. Ungalokothi ubone umntwana esezinkingeni ngaphandle kokumsiza; noma, uma ungenzi okunye, bonisa ukuzwela kwako kwakhe ukuhlupheka kwakhe ngezinduna zothando ezikwazi ukuzinikela.

III. Uthando alunenvyond. Alikuthandzi, kodwa liyakuthokoza, ukubona abanye bekhona kakhulu, bebacebile, bephucukile, bahlakaniphile, noma beb ohloniphekileyo. Ukwandiswa kwukuhlobisa nokuthokoza yinto yokuthokoza engqondweni yomuntu, ngaphandle kokuzinakekela.

Kukhona abantu abathile abahlale bekhononda ngabacebile, bekhathazwa ngomoya w aristocratic wabantu abathile abab rangwa, isikhundla sabo, imfundo, noma izipho zabo zengqondo, zababeka phezulu kunabo. Lokhu yisiboniso esiqinisekileyo somoya onenvyond. Kungenzeka, kulezi zinto, kube khona isizathu sokukhonda. Kodwa beka labo bantu kwisimo sabo abakhonondayo, nalapho laba bakhona, labo abakhonondayo bengakwazi ukuphuma, nalapho labo bekhona aristocratic, laba abakhonondayo bengakwazi tyrannical.

Umoya onenvyond uxoxa,

1. Ukuntula kwukuzihlonipha. Kungenzeka, uma sihlonipha, ngeke sifune ukubaluleka okungenalutho okuvela ekugcwaliseni kwezinto, kangangokuthi sihlikihle ukuthi abanye banakho okuningi kunathi; ngeke sifune ukuvuma ukuthi ukugcwaliswa kwezinto kunalelo xabiso elikhulu kangangokuthi sihlaselwe ngabacabanga ukuthi abanawo lawo maholo ngoba thina awanawo.

2. Inhliziyo engenabubele. Ingqondo enobubele ngokuqinisekile ifuna ukwanda kwenjabulo yengqondo, ngakho-ke iyajabula ngenjabulo yabanye, ngaphandle kokucabangela eyayo.

3. Inhliziyo engenamkulu. Abantu abakhulu ngokuqinisekile bajabula ngokukhula kwabanye kwengqondo nomuzwa, njengokungeza okuningi esibalweni sokuhle kwabantu. Kodwa umuntu ongunya usemkhathazwa ukubona omunye oyedwa ephezu kwakhe. Lo moya lo wuletha uHaman enkundleni; noSathana esikhundleni se- archangel kuya kwitrone yezimampela.

4. Inhliziyo encane, engenabubele— ingqondo encane neyobugovu. Umthetho kaThixo usifundisa ukuba sithande umakhelwane wethu njengathi; n ingqondo iyavuma isicelo. Kodwa umuntu ongunya uyamcinana umakhelwane, ngoba avumelekile ukuba angamthandi kancane kunathi.

Uma hlonipha ukujabula kwako, ngiyakukomela ukuba ucindezele intshukumo yokuqala yalo mkhuba onyanyekayo nowonakalisayo; ngoba, ngama unyengelwa, ngeke kukunike isikhala; imicibisholo yayo enobuthi iyahlaba futhi iyabola esifubeni sakho, futhi iyadubula zonke izinjabulo zakho. Lomkhuba ungumkhuba ongeke waneliswe, inqobo nje uma kunebeinga eliphezulu emhlabeni. Uncelwe ekugcineni kwitrone kaNkulunkulu; futhi umuntu onomona angeke ajabule ngama uNkulunkulu esebusa. Imiphumela yalomkhuba kubantu umlingiswa nokujabula kwabo kubonakaliswa ngendlela eqondile emtsheni kaHaman, engiyaleza ukunaka kwakho okukhulu. Khulisa, khona, umkhuba wokujabula nokwaneliswa ngokujabula kanye nenhlala-khona yabanye; futhi uhlale ufuna umusa kaNkulunkulu, ukuze ukwazi ukwenza imizwa emnandi kubo bonke, kodwa ikakhulu labo abaphakanyiswe ngandlela-tho ngaphezu kwako.

IV. Uthando alub boastfuli. "Alusebenzi ngokushesha, ngokungenacala, ngendlela ephuthumayo, ngendlela engenangqondo." Abanye abantu badibanisa umoya obomvu noyengenacala no zelelo lokwenyaniso; yaye oku kubavuthela phezulu ngokuqhayisa nangokuzenza, nokubabeka ekugxekeni ababazungezile ngamava, ubudala, okanye ubulumko, kuba abafuni kujoyina iindlela zabo nenkqubo yabo. Akukho mpawu yobuntu ingathandekiyo, ngakumbi kumntwana, kunokuzicinga. Ukuba umncinci oqhayisayo ngokuziva kubalulekile angabona kuphela iintsentya ezixubeneyo zosizi nenyanyekiso ezivusa isenzo sakhe esingqondini babudala nobulumko, angazaliswa nguqhushulwa nehlazo. Uya kuva abantu abanjalo bethetha kakhulu ngokuzimela kwengqondo. Bavuma ukucinga ngokwabo, nokwakha iimbono zabo, ngaphandle kokuhlonipha abanye abacinge, bathethe, bhalile. Bangesabi ukubonisana inkcazo, ukubanceda ekugqibeni umyalezo onzima weSibhalo, okanye imibhalo yedivine efundileyo, ukubabeka ngaphandle kobunzima bezenkolo. Oko kuya kuba kukuthumela iingqondo zabo phantsi kweempembelelo zobuhedeni, okanye ukubeka umbono wokungazithembi kwiingcwele zabo ezingafaniyo!—yinto yokugqibela abayicinga. Iimbono ezide zikhathalelwa ngabantu abalungileyo, nabalulekileyo, nabalungileyo, zilahlwa ngomsindo. Uya kuva bethetha iimbono zabo ngokucacileyo, nangokuqiniseka okukhulu, ngezinto ezinzima, apho abantu abalungileyo, nabafundileyo, nabanetalente enkulu, bajongene nokungabazi; yaye beqhuba phambili iingcamango abacinga ukuba zivela kubunzulu bezingqondo zabo ezifihlakeleyo, yaye baya kuthi, emva koko, bafundiswa ukuba zizo iingcamango ezindala, ezilahliweyo, ezingavuthwanga, okanye iingcinga eziye zaphakanyiswa, yaye zathi zakatshatshwa, amakhulu amaninzi, ngaphambi kokuba bazalwe. Kodwa imatters ibonakala icace kubo, kangangokuba abakwazi ukucinga ukuba ingqondo eqotho ingafika kwisigqibo esinye, ngaphandle kwezo zazo. Ngakho bahlanga ukuthandabuza ukholo lwabantu bonke abahlukileyo kubo, ukuba hayi ukuthatha isikhundla sehakhi, nokubabeka icala lokungakholwa okanye ubuhedeni. Kodwa ukuzithemba kwabo okukhulu kwiimbono zabo kuvela kuhlolo olungaphezulu noluphawulayo, nokugqiba imingcele neengxaki ezivela ngokulula engqondini elinganisiweyo yaye ekwahlulelweyo, eyaye yavuthuza ngokucokisekileyo isifundo esiphambi kwayo.

Nokho, ngingafuni ukuqondwa njengomuntu ocaphuna ukuthobela ngandlela-thinta isahluko nezimboni zokwahlulela kwabantu abakhulu nabalungileyo. Lokhu kuyiPopery. Ingqondo kufanele iqiniseke ngaphambi kokuvuma isikhundla sanoma siphi. Kodwa kungaba ukuphakama kwesiqu-solelo uma umuntu, kodwa ikakhulu umyolampilo, ezicinga ukuthi ukwazi kakhulu ukufunda imibhalo yamadoda azinikele ekutadisheni iqiniso; noma ukulahla ngendlela emfushane, njengokungafaneleki kwakhe ukunaka, izimboni ezamukelwe abantu abakhulu nabalungileyo ngabuyehlukahlukana. Futhi akukhombisi ukuzimela okungavamile kwengqondo; ngoba ngokuvamile uzothola abantu abanjalo behlanganiswe phansi kwendebe yezikole ezahlukahlukene zefilosofi, zamahemba, ifilosofi, noma zezombusazwe — futhi behamba ngentshiseko emkhondweni odlulele womuholi wabo, bamukela noma yini ekhulunywa ngomlomo wakhe njengelizwi le- oracle, futhi behamba ngentshiseko kuzo zonke izinto zakhe zokuzidla. Kufana ne-vane ekhayeni, eliphakamisa ukuphakama kwawo ngokuziqhenya ukuya emafini, alungele ukuthwalwa yimimoya yama doktrina. Kodwa ukuzimela kwengqondo kwangempela kuconsisa ekulinganiseni ubufakazi nengxabano ngokungakhethi, nokwenza isinqumo sokuzimela ekucwazeni, ekuthetheleleni iqembu, ekuphakamiseni izimboni, noma ekucwaningeni; futhi, uma kuhlangene nokuthobeka, kusohlale kujabulela ukuthola imfundo kunoma yisiphi isomthombo. Umuntu azaziyo uyakuthobeka kakhulu phansi kwengqondo yakhe yokuthena kanye nokungazi, futhi uyakuphakamisa izimboni zakhe ngobuntele, ngenkathi ephatha izimboni zabanye ngokuhlonipha.

V. Uthando aluziphathi ngendlela engafaneli. Aluzicathazi ekunaka kwempilo, futhi aliphuli imingcele yadobele kanye nenhlonipho, kodwa lunaka kakhulu ekulungiseni kwendlela yokuziphatha, kuzo zonke izimo. Kunezinto eziningi ezingafaneli okwenza ukuziphatha kwomuntu kube yinto yokuganga kanye nokudikwa.

Ukuba phambili, okanye isimo sengqondo sokuba sobala, akuyofanele, ngakumbi kumntwana. Yinto yokwazi ukuba ngumsebenzi womntu ngamnye ukuba asoloko ezele ukwenza umsebenzi omuhle; yaye akulunganga ukubuya umva, nokwala ukusebenzisana nabanye ekwenzeni umsebenzi oncedo. Kodwa inhliziyo iyakhohlisa; yaye, ngelixa sisanelisa iingqondo zethu ngomcamango wokuba sihamba phambili ekwenzeni umsebenzi, sinokuba sikhulisa ukuzingca kwethu, ngokuzisa kwethu ukuqaphela. UmKristu onobubele unombono ophantsi wezakhono zakhe zokwenza okulungileyo, yaye ngokuqhelekileyo uthanda ukukhetha abanye, njengabo bafanele kunabo yena, ukuthatha nayiphi na indawo ebonakalayo. "Ngokuhlonipha ukhetha omnye komnye." Ngakho ke uya kuba nobubele yaye athobe; kodwa, xa umsebenzi we nkonzo ucacile, akayi kuthula nje kuso. "Abalungileyo banesibindi njengengonyama."

Kukho iimpawu ezininzi, nangona kunjalo, ezahlula umoya obonakalayo, ongangafanelekanga. Umona yaye unesifo sokukhubeka. Uyakufumaneka umuve umoya we-aristocratic wabanye; yaye, ukuba akabonwa kakhulu njengoko acinga ukuba ufanelwe, uya kuthatha uvalo. Akufanelekanga ukuba afumaneke esebenzisana nabanye ekwenzeni umsebenzi omuhle, ngaphandle kokuba yena yena ophambili kuwo. Ukuba ufuna ukuqinisekisa uncedo lwakhe, okanye ukumthintela ekuphikisaneni, ufanekele ukumbonisana naye phambi kokuba uqalise umsebenzi. Ukuba uyamnela ukwenza njalo, kungaba njani na injongo yakho, okanye uyalikhetha njani na izilinganiso zakho, unokulindela ukuba afumane isiphoso yaye abeke imiqobo kwindlela yakho yonke. Abantu abanjalo badla ngokubonisa umsebenzi onamandla nokusebenza okungapheli; kodwa abalokothi bavuswe ngaphandle kokunyuswa kwinjongo enayo into yokuzingca kwakhe.

Ukuthatha, ngendlela ebukhali, ukufundisa abanye, ngokubabuza ngezinto abazicabangayo, ngakumbi ukuba bakhulu kunwe, akulunganga. Uyakuhlangana nabantu abathile ababonakala besithatha sokuba nelungelo lokukubuza ukuba uyini nawe, nokuthi ngubani nawe, baze banqume ngobuqiniso ubanga lwakho lokuba ngumuntu onjengo. Ndingathi ukubuza imibuzo enobunono nokuzama, ngendlela yobunono nothando, ukubathuthumisa ngendlela efanele, yinto efanelekileyo. Kodwa, ke, akumele silibale ukuba bona bangabalinganayo, banolwazi lokwahlula phakathi kokulungileyo nokubi njengathi, yaye baziphendulela ngeempazamo zabo phambi kwesibafunda. Oku akuyi kuvumela ukuba kubekho isimo sokuphatha abanye ngendlela ebukhali.

Akulunganga ukuba abantu abancinci babe phambili ekukhulumeni, kwinkampuni, okanye ukunika iingcebiso ngokuzithemba, ngenzululwazi into efunekayo ukulawula abakulu ngamava, ubulumko okanye ubudala. U-Eliahu, nangona wayengumuntu onolwazi olukhulu nobuchule, akazange athathe isigqibo sokuthetha noYobhi de abangani bakhe abadala bayeke; kuba wathi, "iminyaka yobudala ifundisa ubulumko." Abantu abancinci, ngamanye amaxesha bazenza uluntu oluhleka usoni ngenxa yokuziphatha okunjalo. UPhefumlo uIsaya unika le nto njengophawu lobu lwanikazi, ukuba "umntwana aziphathe ngokuzingca ngokuchasene nomdala, yaye isisebenzi sichasene nomntu ohloniphekileyo."

Ukuphikisana okukhulu malunga namalungelo omuntu siqu akulunganga. Kuyavelisa umoya ozingca, onguqukayo. Awusoze uyivele le nto apho kukho uthando; kuba uthando luyamkeleka. Umoya ongenakunyamezela nokuba phantsi kokuqalisa ukulwa ngamalungelo, ngumoya ongafanelanga, oya kuthi nkqu phambili engxakini enye okanye enye.

Ubuhle, ubunzima, nokungafaneli kwakho konke kuyinto engafanelanga; futhi isitatimende sokuthi uthando aluziphathi ngendlela engafanelanga, ludlulisela umqondo wokuziphatha okuhle kakhulu, okhululekile kuzinto zonke ezingafanelanga, ezicacile, ezimbi, noma ezingathandeki.

VI. Uthando aluzifuneli lona. Akunasikhala. Isimo sengqondo esichazwe lapha sifundiswa ngendlela enhle kakhulu kwi-Epistle kaPaul kwabaseFilipi. Uyabakhuthaza, ekuthobeni kwengqondo, ukuba ngamunye azilinganisela kangcono kunabo; futhi angabuki kuphela izinto zabo, kodwa nezinto zabanye; futhi wabe esab commends kubo isibonelo seNkosi yethu, owathi, yize iNkosi yamakhos, yazithoba ekubeni isic奴, enhluphekeni, ekugxekweni, nasematheni athunziweyo—ngesikhathi sethu. Lokhu akusho ukuthi asifanele sizithande thina nhlobo, noma singabi nazo izinto zethu; ngoba umthetho ofuna kithi sithande abamelene njengo thina, uyavuma isikhala sokuzithanda; futhi umthetho, "Ngeke webe thwebuli," uqinisekisa isikhala sepropati yangasese. Kodwa uyasivimbela ekwenzeni izinto zethu zibe yinto yethu enkulu, ekugcinweni kwamalungelo abanye kanye nenjabulo yabo; futhi usifuna senze izisulu zokuzwa kanye nezinto zethu ngenxa yabanye, futhi kwesinye isikhathi sibenze injabulo yabo kanye nezinto zabo zingcono kunazo. Yilo yisimo sengqondo sokuthanda okuqotho; futhi ukuzisebenzisa kuzanika injabulo enkulu kakhulu kunaleyo engenakho ekutholeni kwabanye.

Kungaba lesi simo sisebenzayo, sinqamule zonke izizathu zokuholewa umona nenzondo; sisuswe imbangela yengxabano enkulu ezivuka emphakathini, size sinciphise, ngendlela enkulu, izifo zempilo. Sizalala phansi kwazo zonke izinjabulo zomphakathi. Ukubuyisana kwamal mutual affection kuxhomeke ekusebenzeni kwesimo sokuzicinosela; nomphakathi lapho lokhu kungabikho awubekezeleleki. Futhi akuyena ukuzwa noma umdla kuphela okufanele ushiywe. Kusekho isiginoselo esinzima ukusenzwa, ngaphambi kokuba sibe, ngendlela enkulu, abangane abakhululekile. Yisiginoselo senhloso. Lolu luyinto yokugcina inhliziyo ezimele yomuntu ezimisele ukuyekela. Umezwe endaweni yakhe, nent pride yenhliziyo yakhe izibophele ukuyigcina. Uyazikhohlisa, aphoqelela um conscience ukuba aye ekusizeni kwakhe; ngenkathi, empeleni, yinto um conscience engenawo umsebenzi kuyo; ngokuba iphuzu lingabekwa phansi ngaphandle kokwenza udlame kulowo m watchful monitor, umsebenzi wakhe ushintshiwe, wenza umsebenzi wokuqinisa ukhathazwa wolu olunzima. Isimo sokuyekela olwahlulelweni kanye nenthloko yabanye, kude kube sekhona um conscience, yisici esibalaseleyo salowo uthando olungafuni eyalo; ngenkathi ukunamathela okungaguquki ekwahlulelweni nasekuthandeni kwethu, lapho kungenwa khona umsimamo ophakeme kunokuba kube lula, yindlela yokuziphatha eqatha kakhulu, n engenjabu.

Omunhu ongena thuba akaze agone kudzinga umshado omncane wokuzizwa kwake noma umdlandla wakhe wokuthuthukisa impilo noma ukujabula kwabanye. Uzenza umhlaba wakhe wonke, aphakathi imithandazo nemisebenzi yakhe, yena ngumuntu ongena chalo noma ongena vumelwano. Angathanda ukwazi umthetho wakhe kuphela. Unomhlaba omncane wakhe, apho ahlala khona, enyakaza, ekhona. Uzenza wonke umuntu oqhamuka naye anikele into ethile yokufeza iinjongo zakhe zothuba. Umdlandla wakhe wokuthuthukisa imithandazo yakhe uyamdisiza njalo ukwephula amalungelo abanye; noma, uma engeke aphule amalungelo abo, ukusebenzisa ubuntu babo, ukubadonsa ekhonzeni lakhe. Ungathanda ukuhamba ngenjabulo emhlabathini wamagilebhula, noma ufune ukuphumla embhedeni wamagilebhula—ukufuna induduzo emphakathini wabantu abana thuba.

VII. Uthando alwechezwi kalula. "Lulungisa ukuqina kwesimo sengqondo, futhi lunomthelela wokuthobisa nokuthambisa ingqondo." Alithathi umlilo ekuphikisaneni okuncane noma ekungahloniphi, na "alwenza umuntu osesoni ngenxa yamazwi." Oyedwa phakathi kwabakhonzi bakaNabala wamchaza ngale ndlela ebalulekile: "Yena yindodana yakobheshebel; umuntu akakwazi ukukhuluma naye." Kunabantu abaningi abanjalo, abantwana bobheshebel. Banomsindo omubi nokhungu, bakhungwini, babe nomqondo obi, awukwazi ukukhuluma nabo ngaphandle kokuthi bakugomeke njengesinja egadayo; uma benobungozi obufanayo, kungadingeka ukuba ubabophe! Yonke le nto iyaphambana nothando. Umbono omchazwa lapha ngokungalunganga ungalingiswa ngetemu elithi ubuntu obuhle; kodwa ngendlela ephakanyiswe kakhulu kunalokho okwenzeka ngoku; kuba yisithelo, hhayi kobuntu obuhle bemvelo, kodwa kobuthando obunomthelela. Lesi simo sengqondo siyimfuneko kunoma yiluphi uhlelo olukhulu lokusebenza. Uma unalo, umlingiswa wakho wobuKristu uyakonzwa kakhulu njengokuthi, ngandlela thize, usulele umthelela wimizamo yakho eyakhayo. Isimo sengqondo esibi, ngisho enxulumene nezimfanelo eziningi ezinhle, singawenza umuntu abe umngane omubi nawehlisayo; ngaleyo ndlela eletha inhlamba enkulu egameni likaKristu. Futhi akudingeki muntu azithetheleze ngokusho kokuzalwa kwakhe; ngoba iNkosi ithi, "Umthelela womusa wami wanele kuwe." Iinjili kaJesu Kristu iyikgapho lozonke izifo zethu zemvelo; kanti siyalazwa ukuba silahle isisindo sonke, ngisho isono esisivimbela kalula.

VIII. Uthando alucingi ububi, alusola, awugcini amazwi ambalwa, noma ukuziphatha okungelucacile, futhi awafanisi ububi ngazo. Uthando aluvumeli lezi zinto zikcorode futhi zikenzele ingqondo yakhe kuqhathaniswa nomuntu, kodwa ubeka ukwakha okuhle kakhulu emazwini nakuziphatheni zabantu abanye abazokuthwala, hhayi ukunceda ekuboneni okubi komunye umuntu kodwa kuphela uma kunobufakazi obucacile. Akekho, mhlawumbe, umthombo owodwa owenzeka kakhulu wokukhathazeka nokungonwabi, kuzo zombili thina nabantu abanye, kunokuziphatha okusolakalayo. "Umona," kusho uSolomoni, "unokhahla njengendlalifa; amalahle akhe ngamalahle omlilo onomlilo omkhulu." Umuntu omomothekayo ubonwa njengesoka "nyoka enengwe"; ulesaba ukuthemba umngani wakhe oyintu ozwakalayo. Uphatha ukuziphatha okubi emazwini nakuziphatheni zabantu abanye abazokuthwala. Ngakho-ke uzicinga njengothiwe kabi, uma kungabuhlungi; kanye nokutsola okumnene, noma ukuphendula okulungile, kuba isono esingaphelezwa. Uhlale ebheka kwisigaba esidabukisayo sesimilo somuntu; kanjalo isiphene esisodwa, noma isiphoso esikhanya, sizokwehleka ububele obufanisiwe. Uhlale ekhononda ngokuthi yisikhathi esibi, futhi ikakhulukazi ngenxa yokuola kwebandla; ngoba angaboni muntu oyiphelele eduze kwakhe, ngakho-ke ufika esiphethweni sokuthi kukhona ukholo oluncane emhlabeni, akhohlwe ukuthi, uma efumana ibhande labantu abacacile, ukuxhumana kwakhe naye kungafaka ukuola.

Ukuba umuntu onjalo ecabanga ukuthi kuwumsebenzi wakhe ukukutshela zonke iimpazamo zakho—oswini kuwe! Ngoba, ngaphandle kokuba ukwazi ukuzazi njengomuntu kuyathandeka, akusizi ukwenza iimpazamo zethu zibe mbi ngakumbi izikhathi eziyikhulu, ziqoqwe phambi kwemindeni yethu, njengemithe yelanga ekhazimula, ekhazimulisa indawo enye, hhayi zitsheke phezu kwamakhanda ethu njengomkhukula oswakama, hhayi zenziwe zibe nkulu njengamaconsi omvula wokuwa. UPawuli akazange enze kanje. Nguwo lapho azizwa khona ukuthi kuwumsebenzi wakhe ukutsola, wayekunakekela ukudumisa okulungile, nokuphonsa amazwi obuhlobo kanye nezitsuko zakhe. Futhi lapha, nakuba kuwukuphumuka, vumela ndikhuthaze ukuthi ungalokothi uthathe umsebenzi ongaphandle wokugxeka. Uzothola abantu ababuthakathaka abafuna ukuba, njengomsebenzi wobuhlobo, ukubatshela zonke iimpazamo zabo. Qiniseka, uma uqala lokhu nomhlobo, ubuhlobo bakho buya kuphela. Buya kukwenza ukuthi ubuke njalo kwisig وجه sakomhlobo; hhayi, ngaphambi kokuba uqaphele, uzothola ukuthi ulahlekelwa ukuhlonipha kwakho kuye. Ngakumbi kungekudala, uya kubika ukuthandabuza ukuthi ukhathale ukumthanda. Uma isizathu siqhubeka, lokhu kuthandabuza kuya konakala nokukhula; nomphumela uya kuba ukwehlukana kwamalungelo okuthanda. Ngingakanani umzamo onjalo ungene ngawo, uphela kancane, ngenxa yezinto, ukuvelisa lo mphumela.

Kodwa, kunganakwa ukuthi sibophiwe, ngenxa yemibandela yethu yesivumelwano, ukuba sibalele ababandakanyayo. Kodwa kungeke kube khona ukuqhathanisa okukhulu kunokuqonda lo msebenzi ngendlela yokuhlala uqaphele iziphoso ezincane nezinto ezingavamile, noma ngisho nezinto ezibonakala kakhulu nezivelele zobuntu kubabandakanyayo. Umuyalelo uthi, "Uma umowabandakanyo wakho enecala kuwe, hamba uyamtshela isiphoso sakhe," njll. Kodwa asibizwa ukuba sithole isibakhulu, sihambe, sikenze njengomsebenzi ukuthola nokudalula iziphoso zababandakanyayo. Ngokuphambene, kungewani ukuqaphela ukuziphatha okungenamsebenzi, nokuba ngabantu abangenamsebenzi emindeni yabanye. Siyakhuziwa, ngokuphindaphinda nangobunzima, ukuba siqaphele wethu; kodwa ikhona umuyalelo othi, "Qaphela ababandakanyayo"? Ngisho noMsindisi ngokwakhe akazange azame ukulungisa iziphoso zabadisciples zakhe ngale ndlela. Wabatsola, yebo, futhi ngesikhathi esithile wabatsola ngokucijimisisa; kodwa akazange abakhumbuze njalo ngeziphoso zabo. Akazange abonakalise uPetro ngenxa yokungena kwakhe, naThomas ngenxa yokungakholelwa kwakhe, nabantwana bakaZebedee ngenxa yokuqhosha kwabo; kodwa "wabafundisa njengoba babekwazi ukukubamba"; futhi lokho kunokuba ngokubonisa phambi kwemindeni yabo inyani, kunokuba ngokuyalela kubantu ngabanye.

Obligations zemikweli yezivumelwano zenza kube yimposi yethu ukuqapha, sibone ukuthi abazalwane bethu bangalandeli indlela yokuphila engahambelani nezithembiso zabo zobuKristu, noma leyo ekhuthaza ukuchezuka nokwaliwa; futhi, uma bengabafundi abab忠ileyo, bazakubonga ngenxa yezwi lokuy警告 xa benengozi yokuwela ekonweni. Futhi, xa benjalo bawele, kufanele sibukele, futhi singabavumeli ukuba baqhubeke ekonweni. Kodwa le nto ihluke kakhulu kunokusungula uhlelo lokugadela ekwenzeni kwabo, nokuhlala njalo kwiziphoso zabo nokusilela kwabo - indlela leyo engenakuphikwa ukuba iqhubeke ngaphandle kwengathaka elingafuneki kubo ubuntu bethu. Ingqondo yomuntu yenziwe ngendlela yokuthi ithonywe yizinto zokucabanga, futhi ihlale ikhula kuzo. Ngikhombise umuntu ogcwele ukucabanga ngeziphoso zabanye, ngiyakubonisa umoya omnyama nomdaka, omuncu nomsulwa, onamehlo avaliwe kuzinto zonke ezifuneka futhi ezinhle, noma ezithandekayo futhi ezimnandi, kubantu; umuntu ogcwele ukugubha, ongalokothi ujabhe ngubani na, noma ukhuleke nginto; umIshmayeli, isandla sakhe silwa nawo wonke umuntu, isandla sawo wonke umuntu silwa naye. Uma kungenanto kubuntu, evuselelwa ngumusa kaThixo, ongalokothi sikubuke ngenjabulo, khona-ke kungenakwenzeka ukuba silandele umyalo o ngcwele: "Thandani abazalwane."

IX. Uthando alujabulisi ngobufasikazi, kodwa lujabulisa ngiqiniso. Uyaziwa ngophawu olulodwa abantu bakaNkulunkulu, ukuthi "babubula futhi bakhale ngenxa yezinto ezimbi ezenzeka emhlabeni," futhi bakalele imifula yamanzi, ngoba abantu abagcini umthetho kaNkulunkulu; ngenkathi izwicka "zijabulisa ukwenza okubi, futhi zijabulisa ekugwegweni kwabwicka." Kodwa singakhohlisa, futhi sinandiphe ukudla okubolile kokuthola iphutha nokusolisa, ngenkathi sicabanga ukuthi sikhala ngenxa yezono zabanye. Usizi yisimo esithambileyo; siyancibilikisa inhliziyo, futhi sisakaze kuye umphumela o ngcwele. Ngakho, uma sithola ukuthi sinandipha umoya oshubile, ocophele iphutha labanye, futhi uhlala kuwo, futhi uwamandisa, futhi uwohlulela ngokuqina – singaqiniseka ukuthi unophawu olulwe, olungalweki kwizulwini lomalusi omuhle. Olunye lweephepho zinhliziyo engaguquki yisimo sokudla ngenxa yama phutha abaprofeti bokholo. Abonandipha lesi simo abavumi ukuthi bayakuthokozela ukwehluleka kwabantu bokholo. Bayahola ngokweqina, futhi badabuke ngenxa yezinto ezimbi abazenzayo. Kodwa bayakuthola ukushoda kwabantu bokholo ngoku qina njengokuthola kwenja ehahayo inyama. Hii ndio msingi wukudya kwabo nokuthi nokuphuza. Yiyo isisekelo semithemba yabo. Bayakubeka phambili ukungena kwabo emparadhayisi yasezulwini ngokuba njengabantu abaqotho ekulandeleleni kwabo njengabantu ababangaNkulunkulu; ngakho, phutha ngalinye abalitholayo linika isizatho esisha sokuligiza emnyango wasezulwini. Ngenxa yalesi sizatho, ngokuyimfihlo, mhlawumbe ngabikho, "bajabulisa ngobufasikazi."

Lakini kutya, kwakho kwakusabiwa, kwakho ukwahlulela kusuka ekubonakaleni kwemweya owo, ukuthi abantu abaninzi ababanga i-pretension enkulu kubungcwele obuphezulu baxhasa iindlela zabo, ngobuningi, phezu kwesiseko esifanana. NjengabaseFarisei baseYuda, bacabanga ukuthi uma behlulela abantu abenza okubi, ngisho noma benza okufanayo, bazokuphunyuka ekwahlulelweni kukaNkulunkulu. Banomdlandla omkhulu wokuthwebula nokushumayela phezu kophahla ukusilela kwabazalwane babo, njengomuntu oziphakamisayo ngokuziphatha kwakhe, ongabanga ukuziphakamisisa, futhi ube njalo njengabo ababanga. Uma abantu abanjalo bengayithokozisi ikhubalo, yiyo "imnandi emlonyeni wabo," futhi bayayiphuza njengamanzi. Isizatho sabo si ukuthi, abayikhulumi ngayo ngenjabulo, kodwa ngosizi luyaleza ubuthi bayo. Kodwa usizi luyedwa futhi luthulile. "Uhlala yedwa, futhi uyathula." Ubani owake wazwa ngumuntu ashumulayo usizi lwakhe kuwo wonke umuntu ohambehamba? Umweya onokhahla nokubaba, ongufeza ikhonsi yakhe njengobuthi obuphambene nesono, uyabonakala njengobonakaliso bom pride ongaguquki. Iyinakho ubufakazi obuncane kakhulu bokuthobeka nokwethembeka kwakwaKristu. "Abazalwane," usho umpostoli, "uma umuntu ebambekile esifulweni, buyisani umuntu onjalo ngomweya wothando; nizihlolisise, nokuthi nina ungabambi."

Lakini, kutokana na roho ya kukosoa na kuhukumu ya baadhi ya watu, mtu anaweza kudhani kuwa haikuwahi kupita katika fikra zao kuzingatia kama siyo rahisi kwao kuanguka katika hukumu ile ile; ingawa uchunguzi wa maporomoko ya kusikitisha yaliyotokea unaweza kuonyesha orodha ya kutisha ya wahalifu kutoka kwa kundi hili la watu. Daudi, alipokuwa katika hali ya kukosa, alitangaza sentensi ya kifo juu ya mtu katika mfano wa Nathani, ambaye uhalifu wake ulikuwa kivuli cheupe tu cha chake. Wamasomi na Mafarisai walikuwa na hasira juu ya mwanamke huyo mwenye bahati mbaya ambaye alikamatwa katika dhambi; lakini baadaye, kwa mienendo yao wenyewe, walijitangaza kuwa na hatia ya dhambi ile ile. Yudas alikuwa mmoja wa wakosoaji wenu. Alikuwa mwanafunzi aliyekosoa mwanamke mwenye moyo mkunjufu, Mariamu, kwa heshima yake ya upendo kwa Bwana wa uzima, kabla ya mateso yake. Alifikiria kuwa ni upotevu mkubwa kumimina mafuta ya gharama sana kwenye miguu ya Yesu, na kwamba ingekuwa vizuri zaidi kuiuza, na pesa kutolewa kwa maskini. Alikuwa na huruma sana kwa maskini, na adui mkubwa wa upotevu; lakini, muda mfupi baadaye, aliuza Bwana wake kwa vipande thelathini vya fedha. Hivyo, katika kila enzi, ukichunguza tabia ya waapostasi, utapata kwamba wamekuwa wakijulikana kwa ukali wao dhidi ya dhambi za wengine, na hasa katika kufanya dhamira ya mambo yasiyofaa, na kutoa hukumu ngumu dhidi ya wale wanaokataa kuendana na maoni yao. Watu kama hao hasa watafadhaika na ndugu zao kwa sababu ya mavazi yao, au mtindo wa kuishi, au namna yao ya kuvaa nywele, au mambo kama hayo—which does not reach the heart.

UmKristu onyenyekileyo, ombu buya emva kw' "umgodi womgodi awaphumayo," futhi ekhumbula ukuthi manje umele ngenxa yomusa owanika izinyawo zakhe ngaphandle kw' "umgodi owodwa kanye nodongo olubi," uyakuba ngumuntu wokugcina ukuze aphakamiseke phezu kwesimo sokuwela kwabantu abafana naye. Uyabakを見る abantu abafana naye ngeso lenhlangwini enhle, futhi ukuthethisa kwakhe kuyakwenziwa ngomoya onyenyekileyo, onobundu, nonyenyekileyo, ekhumbula isiyalezo sikaPaul: "Mvumele yena othi uma, aqaphe hle ukuze angawi."

Ndiye, umoya engibe ndikhu buya, awusi wekharnele kuphela, kodwa ke umoya wadiabolos. Idemoni ngumshushisi wabazalwane. Uthando alujabuli kuphela ekonzekalini, kodwa ke kujabula eqinisweni—yajabula ngempumelelo yevangeli, nokujabula ekubonakalisweni komusa kaThixo, ngokubonisa imiphumela yomoya Wakhe kubantu bakhe. Ngakho-ke uyakusikhokeza ukuba sibuke ohlangothini olukhanyayo lwabantu, futhi, uma benika noma yibuphi ubufakazi bukaThixo, sijabule kuwo, sikazisikhathazi, noma sibuke ngenhlangwini enhle nencishe, ukungapheleli kwabo. Futhi hili lihambelana neemvakalelo zikaKristu onyenyekileyo. Ucabanga kancane ngakuye, nokuzwa umvakalelo wokungapheleli kwakhe, ukuthi uyakubona ngokushesha ubufakazi obuncane kakhulu beKharakte yaKristu kwabanye; futhi ubona okuningi ukuze agcine enakekile, ukuthi uyakuthanda ukuya ekugcineni kwenkolelo, ekwahluleleni ikharakte yabanye. Uyakuthanda, noPaul, ukuzithatha "njengo encane kunazo zonke izingcwele;" futhi, lapho ebona ubufakazi bukaThixo kwabanye, uyakwazi ukunganaki ukungapheleli okuningi.

Ndiyathemba ukuba sinengoziso enkulu ekwenzeni kwethu kwenjabo nokutshatshabalala kwesisa sikaThixo esibonakaliswa kubantwana bakhe. Izipostile zikaPaul owokuqala ziqala ngamazwi enjabo nokutshatshabalala kwesisa sikaThixo kubo babethumela kubo. Waze wathi nangabakwaKhorintho, phakathi kwabo kwakukhona ububi obininzi, uthi, "Ndiyabulela kuThixo wam njalo ngenxa yenu, ngesisa sikaThixo esinikiwe yena ngoJesu Kristo." Kodwa singaba sithini kancane ukubulela kuThixo ngenxa yobulungisa babazalwana bethu!

Kude kube ngoku, ngaphandle kwezinto zokuqala ezimbini, kunye nenxenye yokugqibela, sifumene umlinganiso omubi wothando. Sifika ngoku ekubonakalisweni kwakhe okulungileyo.

X Uthando lubereka zonke izinto; noma, njengokungathi luhunyushwe, lufihla zonke izinto. Okokugcina kubonakala kungewona angathandeki kumbhalo; kungenjalo kungasho okufanayo nokubhokeza zonke izinto, emshweni wokugcina wemisho, kanjalo kwenza ukuphinda-phinda; ngenkathi kushiya ukushoda ekuchazeni, okubonisiweyo ngumshwana kaPetro, "Uthando lufihla izono eziningi." "Uthando luyakhela umthunzi phezu kwezono zabanye, kude kuthiwa kuwuhlangana nemajabu," ngokuvumelana nomoya wemithetho yegolide, ecela thina senze kubanye njengoba sifisa ukuba benze kithi; kuba ubani owayefisa ukwenza iphutha lakhe libe yinto yencoko phakathi kwabaziwayo? Futhi, uma kukhona okuphambene nothando ukukhuluma ngephutha labantu ngabanye, akuncane nokukhuluma ngephutha labantu abaningi, njengabaklergyman, noma ibandla. Ukungalungi kunzima kakhulu, ngoba yinto yokugweba ngobuningi. Umuntu owalandelwa yi bandla likaKristo, akhuluma kakhulu ngezenzo zayo zokubhuka, unecala lokuziphatha okungavamile ukukhuluma kabi ngaye; kuba amalungu omzimba kaKristo onke oyedwa kuye. Kungaba kwesinye isikhathi umsebenzi wethu ukukhuluma ngephutha labanye; kodwa, lapho uthando lubusa enhliziyweni, lokhu kuzakwenziwa kuphela ezimweni zokungagwemeki, kanjalo ngobuhlungu obukhulu nokuziphosa kwentando. Inhliziyo enobubele iyazwela ngobuhlungu babanye, ibe icondolisa ubuthakathaka babo nokubi. Iyakafisa, ngakho, malapho kunokwenzeka, ukuzifihla kubonwa komphakathi, ngaphandle kokuba umntu enze isenzo esihle kanti asikho isidingo sokwembulwa; yenza njalo, hhayi ngemizwa yokuzingca.

Lezi zizwana zisekela ngamandla amakhulu kakhulu ekwenzeni kwabakristu ukukhuluma ngeziphoso zemnye. Inhliziyo yini engengephika umbono wabazalwane nabahlozi besho umnye iziphoso phambi kwabantu abangabazi? Yini ukuhlobana kwabantwana bakaThixo kunamabandla okubandana. Sithi umndeni wabantwana, bonke ngandlela ithile bakhubazekile, kodwa ngamnye anazo izinhlelo eziningi zobuntu. Bekuzokhuthezwani ngabo, uma bekhathazeka njalo bebcomanya ngeziphoso zabo? Bekuzokuthinta njani ukuthanda kwabo nemizwelo yabo, nangezolo nokuthokoza kwemndeni?

XI. Uthando lukholwa yinto zonke, luthemba zonke izinto. Okuhlukile ukuhlubuka nokusola. Ngukuthayela ukukholwa yinto zonke ezilungele abanye; na lapho ukubonakala kucace kakhulu kubo, kusathandeka ukuthemba okungcono. Lo mkhuba uzosiholela ekuboneni umuntu abanye ngobukhanya obuningi; ukunika isisindo esigcwele kubonke ubuhle, na ukunika ikhredithi egcwele ngazo zonke izenzo ezitafalayo; kanti isimo sonke sibukwe ngobuhlobano neziphoso nokuziphatha. Uthando aluzeli isenzo kumasizatho angafanele na lo mbono usekhona, kanti, ngakumbi, ngeke usheshe asole ubuzenzisi lobuzenzisi kulabo abenza njengokulungisa. Luzonika ikhredithi ezitshengisweni zabanye, ngaphandle kokuphikiswa njobuya kukho konduko yabo. Ngempela, alukavimbeli ukuhlakanipa na ukuqapha—“Umula ukholwa yilizwi lonke; wathi umuntu ohlakaniphile uyabuka ukuya kwakhe”—kodwa lujwayele ukuthemba abanye, na angeke aqaphe njalo ukuze abone okubi.

Umoya wokupha unesihlungu sokuxoxa ngomuntu siqu. Awuzukuthanda ukulalela ukugxekwa kwabanye abantu, noma ukulandisa ngakwazo nokukopha kwabo; futhi wena uzokuphenduka ngokudla ukudla, nangokwesaba, kusukela kubantu ababula njengo, nabo bakhuluma njengo, njengokungathi ukuziphatha kwabo kungcolile. Lomoya ul一種 wezinhlalo, oluphikisana nokugxeka nokukhuluma.

XIII. Uthando lunokubula. Lokhu kuhambisana nokubula; yena yena ukhuluma ngakumbi. Uthando luyakwazi ukubula ngomonde, nokubula, ngaphandle kwintshulube, noma ukukhunga kwenthliziyo, yonke into ekubuleni kwenthliziyo, ekubuleni kwenthliziyo, nokukhathaza umonde wethu. Akakho ukhunga, nokukhathazeka ekukhathaleni, noma ekugxekeni; yena ubula ukukopha, ukungakwazi, ukukhunga, nokukhuluma okubi kwabanye - ngomoya omncane nokuthula.

XIV. Ekugcineni, uthando luyisicelo esisebenzayo somthetho wegolide woMsindisi wethu, nomthetho wesibili weleja, kubo bonke ubuhlobo bethu nabantu, kusasaza kithi umoya wobuhlobo nobuhlobo. Lokhu kuhlanganisa konke okunokwenzeka, nokunikeza, okunobuhlobo, okuthile, okunomoya, nobuhlobo, kubantu abazalwa kabusha ngumusa kaThixo. Lokhu luphikisana nakho konke okungenakwenzeka, nokungenakwenzeka, okubi, okubi, okubi, nokukhunga - ekubuleni kwabantu abawa. Lomoya uluhlanganisa inhlalo, umona osweetens ubuhlobo benthliziyo, i-PANACEA YONKE, uma ingakwazi ukwelapha - iyakwazi ukuthobisa, zonke izifo zezinhlalo!
