Udindo Wa Akazi Mumpingo Wachikhristu (Gawo 3): Kodi Akazi Angatumikire?

Iyi ndi kanema wachitatu mndandanda wathu wonena za udindo wa amayi mu mpingo wachikhristu. Kodi nchifukwa ninji azimayi akukana udindo waukulu mu mpingo wachikhristu? Mwina ndichifukwa cha izi.

Zomwe mukuwona pachithunzichi ndizofanana ndi zipembedzo. Kaya ndinu Mkatolika, Chiprotestanti, Mormon, kapena monga momwe ziliri, Mboni ya Yehova, utsogoleri wachipembedzo wolamulira anthu ndiye zomwe mwayembekezera ku chipembedzo chanu. Chifukwa chake, funso limakhala kuti, azimayi amalowerera kuti?

Ili ndi funso lolakwika ndipo ndicho chifukwa chachikulu chomwe chimakhalira kovuta kuthetsa nkhani yokhudza udindo wa amayi mu mpingo wachikhristu. Mukuwona, tonsefe tikuyamba kafukufuku wathu kutengera cholakwika; poganiza kuti atsogoleri achipembedzo ndi momwe Yesu adafunira kuti tikonzekeretse Chikhristu. Sizili choncho!

M'malo mwake, ngati mukufuna kutsutsana ndi Mulungu, umu ndimomwe mumachitira. Inu mumayika amuna kuti atenge malo ake.

Tiyeni tiwone chithunzichi kachiwiri.

Kodi mutu wa mpingo wachikhristu ndi ndani? Yesu Khristu. Kodi Yesu Khristu ali kuti pachithunzichi? Iye kulibe uko. Yehova alikodi, koma iye ndi mutu chabe. Pamwamba pa piramidi yolamulira ndi bungwe lolamulira, ndipo ulamuliro wonse umachokera kwa iwo.
Ngati mukundikayikira, pitani mukafunse wa Mboni za Yehova kuti angachite chiyani akawerenga zina m'Baibulo zomwe zimatsutsana ndi zomwe bungwe Lolamulira linanena. Adzamvera uti, Baibulo kapena Bungwe Lolamulira? Mukachita izi, mudzakhala ndi yankho lanu chifukwa chake atsogoleri achipembedzo ndiwo njira zotsutsana ndi Mulungu, osamutumikira. Zachidziwikire, kuyambira kwa Papa, kupita kwa Bishopu Wamkulu, Purezidenti, kupita ku Bungwe Lolamulira, onse azikana izi, koma mawu awo satanthauza kanthu. Zochita zawo ndi za otsatira awo zimayankhula zowona.

Mu kanemayu, tikumvetsetsa momwe tingakhazikitsire Chikhristu osagwera mumsampha womwe umapangitsa ukapolo wamwamuna.

Malangizo athu amatuluka kuchokera pakamwa pa wina osati Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu:

“Inu mukudziwa kuti olamulira a dziko lino lapansi amapondereza anthu awo, ndipo akuluakulu amaonetsetsa kuti ali ndi ulamuliro pa anthu amene amawalamulira. Koma pakati panu padzakhala zosiyana. Aliyense amene akufuna kukhala mtsogoleri pakati panu ayenera kukhala mtumiki wanu, ndipo amene akufuna kukhala woyamba pakati panu ayenera kukhala kapolo wanu. Pakuti Mwana wa Munthu sanadza kutumikiridwa koma kutumikira ena, ndi kupereka moyo wake dipo la kwa ambiri. ” (Mateyu 20: 25-28 NLT)

Sizokhudza utsogoleri. Ndizokhudza ntchito.

Ngati sitingathe kuzidutsa pamutu pathu, sitingamvetsetse gawo la amayi, chifukwa kuti titero tiyenera kumvetsetsa ntchito ya abambo.

Ndimawapangitsa anthu kundiimba mlandu wofuna kuyambitsa chipembedzo changa, chofuna kupeza otsatira. Ndimamva izi nthawi zonse. Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa sangathe kuzindikira china chilichonse. Ndipo chifukwa chiyani? Mtumwi Paulo anafotokoza kuti:

“Koma munthu wakuthupi savomereza zinthu za mzimu wa Mulungu, pakuti ndizo kupusa kwa iye; ndipo sangathe kuzidziwa, chifukwa amayesedwa mwauzimu. Komabe, munthu wauzimu amafufuza zinthu zonse, koma iye safufuzidwa ndi wina aliyense. ” (1 Akorinto 2:14, 15 NWT)

Ngati ndinu munthu wauzimu, mumvetsetsa zomwe Yesu amatanthauza pamene akunena za iwo omwe akufuna kuti akhale akapolo. Ngati simuli, simutero. Awo omwe amadziika okha pamaudindo ndi kuchita ufumu pa gulu la Mulungu ndi amuna athupi. Njira za mzimu nzachilendo kwa iwo.

Tiyeni titsegule mtima wathu kukutsogoza kwa Mzimu. Palibe malingaliro. Palibe kukondera. Malingaliro athu ndi otseguka. Tiyamba ndi gawo lotsutsana kuchokera m'kalata ya Aroma.

“Ndikudziwitsani Febe, mlongo wathu, amene ndi mtumiki wa mpingo wa ku Kenkreya, kuti mumulandire mwa Ambuye m'njira yoyenerera oyera mtima ndi kumuthandiza monga angafunikire, chifukwa nayenso anali kuteteza anthu ambiri, kuphatikizapo ineyo. ” (Aroma 16: 1, 2 NWT)

Kuwona mabaibulo osiyanasiyana omwe atchulidwa mu Biblehub.com kumavumbula kuti kutanthauzira kofala kwambiri kwa "mtumiki" kuchokera pa vesi 1 ndi "… Febe, mtumiki wa mpingo…".

Zomwe sizodziwika bwino ndi "dikoni, dikoni, mtsogoleri, muutumiki".

Liwu lachi Greek ndi diakonos kutanthauza "wantchito, mtumiki" malinga ndi Strong's Concordance ndipo amagwiritsidwa ntchito kutanthauza "woperekera zakudya, wantchito; kenako kwa aliyense amene wagwira ntchito iliyonse, woyang'anira. ”

Amuna ambiri mu mpingo wachikhristu sangakhale ndi vuto lakuwona mkazi ngati woperekera zakudya, wantchito, kapena aliyense wogwira ntchito, koma ngati woyang'anira? Osati kwambiri. Komabe, nali vuto. Pazipembedzo zambiri, diakonos ndi nthawi yoikika pakati pa mpingo kapena mpingo. Kwa Mboni za Yehova, limatanthauza mtumiki wothandiza. Nazi zomwe Nsanja ya Olonda yanena pankhaniyi:

Momwemonso dzina "Dikoni" ndikumasulira kolakwika kwa li Greek "diákonos," lomwe limatanthauza "mtumiki wotumikira." Paulo analembera Afilipi kuti: “Kwa oyera mtima onse ogwirizana ndi Kristu Yesu amene ali ku Filipi, pamodzi ndi oyang'anira ndi atumiki othandiza.” (w55 5/1 tsa. 264; onaninso w53 9/15 tsamba 555)

Kutchulidwa kwaposachedwa kwambiri kwa liwu lachi Greek la diákonos m'mabuku a Watchtower, lomwe limakhudzana ndi mtumiki wothandiza, kumachokera ku 1967, ponena zakutulutsidwa kumene kwa bukuli Moyo Wosatha — Mwa Ufulu wa Ana a Mulungu:

"Mukamawerenga mosamala mudzazindikira kuti mu mpingo wachikhristu epískopos [woyang'anira] ndi diákonos [mtumiki wotumikira] ndi mawu ogwirizana, pomwe presbýteros [munthu wachikulire] amatha kugwiritsa ntchito epískopos kapena diákonos." (w67 1/1 tsamba 28)

Ndimaona kuti ndizodabwitsa kudziwa kuti zokhazokha m'mabuku ofotokoza za Mboni za Yehova olumikizana ndi diákonos ndi udindo wa "mtumiki wothandiza" zidachitika zaka zopitilira theka zapitazo. Zili ngati kuti sakufuna kuti a Mboni amakono alumikizane. Mapeto ndi osatsutsika. Ngati A = B ndi A = C, ndiye B = C.
Kapena ngati:

diákonos = Phoebe
ndi
diákonos = mtumiki wotumikira
ndiye
Febe = mtumiki wotumikira

Palibe njira yozungulira lingaliro lomweli, chifukwa chake amasankha kunyalanyaza ndikuyembekeza kuti palibe amene angawone, chifukwa kuvomereza kuti zikutanthauza kuti alongo amatha kusankhidwa kukhala atumiki othandiza.

Tsopano tiyeni tisunthire ku vesi 2. Mawu ofunikira mu vesi 2 mu New World Translation ndi "woteteza", monga mu "... pakuti iyenso adakhala woteteza ambiri". Mawuwa ali ndi matanthauzidwe osiyanasiyana mosiyanasiyana m'matchulidwe omwe ali pa biblehub.com:

Pali kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa "mtsogoleri" ndi "bwenzi labwino", komanso pakati pa "woyang'anira" ndi "mthandizi". Ndiye ndi chiyani?

Ngati mwasokonekera chifukwa cha izi, mwina ndichifukwa choti mudatsekeredwa m'malingaliro okhazikitsa maudindo mu mpingo. Kumbukirani, tiyenera kukhala akapolo. Mtsogoleri wathu ndi m'modzi, Khristu. (Mateyu 23:10)

Kapolo amatha kuyang'anira zochitika. Yesu anafunsa ophunzira ake amene angakhale kapolo wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru amene mbuye wake amamusankha kuti aziyang'anira antchito ake apakhomo kuti aziwadyetsa panthawi yoyenera. Ngati diákonos anganene za woperekera zakudya, ndiye kuti fanizoli limakwanira, sichoncho? Kodi operekera zakudya siomwe amakubweretserani chakudya chanu panthawi yoyenera? Amakubweretserani ma appetizers poyamba, kenako njira yayikulu, ndiye ikakwana nthawi, mchere.

Zikuwoneka kuti Febe adatsogolera pakuchita diákonos, wantchito wa Paul. Anali wokhulupirika kwambiri kotero kuti zikuwoneka kuti adatumiza kalata yake kwa Aroma ndi dzanja lake, kuwalimbikitsa kuti amulandire momwe angamulandirire.

Pokhala ndi malingaliro otsogolera mumpingo mwa kukhala kapolo wa ena, tiyeni tiganizire mawu a Paulo kwa Aefeso ndi Akorinto.

“Ndipo Mulungu wapatsa onse mu Mpingo: choyamba atumwi; chachiwiri, aneneri; chachitatu, aphunzitsi; kenako ntchito zamphamvu; pamenepo mphatso za machiritso; ntchito zothandiza; luso lotsogolera; malilime osiyanasiyana. ” (1 Akorinto 12:28)

"Ndipo anapatsa ena akhale atumwi, ena akhale aneneri, ena alaliki, ena monga abusa ndi aphunzitsi," (Aefeso 4:11)

Munthu wathupi adzaganiza kuti Paulo akuyika olamulira olamulira pano, ngati akufuna.

Ngati ndi choncho, ndiye kuti izi zimabweretsa vuto kwa iwo omwe angaganize choncho. Kuchokera pavidiyo yathu yapitayi tidaona kuti aneneri achikazi adalipo nthawi zonse zachiisraeli komanso zachikhristu, kuwaika pa nambala wachiwiri pamalingaliro awa. Koma dikirani, taphunziranso kuti mayi, Junia, anali mtumwi, kuloleza mkazi kutenga malo oyamba m'boma lino, ngati ndi choncho.

Ichi ndi chitsanzo chabwino cha momwe tingagwere m'mavuto kangapo tikayandikira Lemba ndikumvetsetsa komwe tidakonzeratu kapena pamaziko osatsimikizika. Poterepa, chiyembekezo ndichakuti utsogoleri wina uyenera kukhala mu mpingo wachikhristu kuti ugwire ntchito. Ilidi mu zipembedzo zachikhristu zonse padziko lapansi. Koma polingalira mbiri yomvetsa chisoni ya magulu onsewa, tili ndi umboni wowonjezereka woti chiyembekezo chathu chatsopano ndichabwino. Ndikutanthauza, tawonani zomwe iwo amapembedza pansi pa utsogoleri wolowezana wachipembedzo; onani zomwe achita m'njira yozunza Ana a Mulungu. Mbiri ya Akatolika, Lutheran, Calvinists, Mboni za Yehova, ndi ena ambiri ndi yoopsa komanso yoyipa.

Ndiye, kodi Paulo anali kutanthauza chiyani?

M'makalata onsewa, Paulo akunena za mphatso zoperekedwa kwa amuna ndi akazi osiyanasiyana kuti amange mu chikhulupiriro cha thupi la Khristu. Pomwe Yesu adachoka, oyamba kuchita izi, kugwiritsa ntchito mphatsozi, anali atumwi. Peter adaneneratu zakubwera kwa aneneri pa Pentekoste. Izi zidathandizira pakukula kwa mpingo pomwe Khristu adawululira zinthu, kumvetsetsa kwatsopano. Amuna ndi akazi akamakula mchidziwitso, adakhala aphunzitsi olangiza ena, kuphunzira kuchokera kwa aneneri. Ntchito zamphamvu ndi mphatso yakuchiritsa zidathandizira kufalitsa uthenga wabwino ndikutsimikizira ena kuti sikuti anali gulu chabe lazolakwika. Pomwe kuchuluka kwawo kumakulirakulira, omwe amatha kuwongolera ndikuwongolera adafunikira. Mwachitsanzo, amuna asanu ndi awiri auzimu omwe anasankhidwa kuti aziyang'anira ntchito yogawa chakudya monga momwe zalembedwera pa Machitidwe 6: 1-6. Chizunzo chikamachulukirachulukira komanso ana a Mulungu atamwazikana kumayiko ena, mphatso zamalilime zimafunikira kufalitsa uthenga wabwino mwachangu.

Inde, tonse ndife abale ndi alongo, koma mtsogoleri wathu ndi m'modzi yekha, Khristu. Tawonani chenjezo lomwe akupereka: "Aliyense wakudzikuza adzachepetsedwa…" (Mateyu 23:12). Posachedwapa, Bungwe Lolamulira la Mboni za Yehova linadzikweza podzitcha kuti ndi Kapolo Wokhulupirika ndi Wanzeru wosankhidwa ndi Khristu kuyang'anira antchito ake apakhomo.

Mu kanema womaliza, tawona momwe Bungwe Lolamulira lidayesera kupeputsa gawo lomwe Woweruza Debora adagwira ku Israeli ponena kuti woweruza weniweni anali mwamunayo, Baraki. Tidawona momwe adasinthira kumasulira kwawo kwa dzina la mzimayi, Junia, kukhala dzina lopangidwa ndi amuna, Junias, kuti apewe kuvomereza kuti panali mtumwi wamkazi. Tsopano akubisa kuti Phoebe, mwa dzina lawo, anali mtumiki wothandiza. Kodi asintha china chilichonse kuchirikiza unsembe wawo wachipembedzo, bungwe loyang'anira akulu lomwe lakhazikitsidwa?

Onani momwe New World Translation imamasulira lembali kuti:

“Tsopano kukoma mtima kwakukulu kunapatsidwa kwa aliyense wa ife kutengera momwe Khristu anayesera mphatso yaulere. Pakuti akuti: “Pamene anakwera kumwamba natenga andende; Adapereka mphatso mwa amuna. ”(Aefeso 4: 7, 8)

Wotanthauzira akutisocheretsa ndi mawu oti, "mphatso mwa amuna". Izi zikutitsogolera kumapeto kuti amuna ena ndiopadera, popeza adapatsidwa mphatso ndi Ambuye.
Kuyang'ana pa interlinear, tili ndi "mphatso kwa amuna".

"Mphatso kwa amuna" ndikutanthauzira kolondola, osati "mphatso mwa amuna" monga momwe New World Translation imamasulira.

M'malo mwake, nayi mndandanda wa matembenuzidwe opitilira 40 ndipo ndi m'modzi yekha amene amamasulira vesili kuti "mwa amuna" ndi omwe amapangidwa ndi Watchtower, Bible & Tract Society. Izi mwachiwonekere ndi chifukwa chakukondera, akufuna kugwiritsa ntchito vesi ili ngati njira yolimbikitsira akulu omwe asankhidwa ndi Gulu lotsogolera gulu lankhosa.

Koma pali zinanso. Ngati tikufuna kumvetsetsa bwino zomwe Paulo akunena, tiyenera kuzindikira kuti liwulo lomwe amagwiritsira ntchito "amuna" ndi anthrópos osati anēr.
Anthrópos amatanthauza onse amuna ndi akazi. Ndi mawu achibadwa. "Munthu" akhoza kukhala wabwino chifukwa alibe ndale. Ngati Paulo adagwiritsa ntchito anēr, akadakhala akunena za mwamunayo.

Paulo akunena kuti mphatso zomwe akufuna kulemba zidaperekedwa kwa onse amuna ndi akazi amthupi la Khristu. Palibe imodzi ya mphatsozi yomwe imangokhudza kugonana amuna kapena akazi okhaokha. Palibe iliyonse ya mphatsozi yomwe imaperekedwa kwa amuna amumpingo okha.
Potero omasulira osiyanasiyana amamasulira motere:

Mu vesi 11, akufotokozera mphatso izi:

“Anapatsa ena akhale atumwi; ndi ena aneneri; ndi ena alaliki; ndi ena, abusa ndi aphunzitsi; kukonzekeretsa oyera mtima kuntchito yakutumikira, ndi kumangirira thupi la Khristu; kufikira tonse tidzafika ku umodzi wa chikhulupiriro, ndi chizindikiritso cha Mwana wa Mulungu, kufikira munthu wamkulu msinkhu, kufikira muyezo wa msinkhu wa chidzalo cha Khristu; kuti tisakhalenso ana, wotengeka uku ndi uku ndi kutengeka ndi mphepo yonse ya chiphunzitso, ndi chinyengo cha anthu, mochenjerera, motsata machenjerero akusochera; koma polankhula chowonadi m'chikondi, tingakule m'zinthu zonse, likhala mutu wake, ndiye Khristu; kuchokera kwa iye thupi lonse, lokonzedwa ndi kulumikizika pamodzi mwa zomwe ziwalo zonse zothandizidwa, monga mwa muyeso wa muyeso wa chiwalo chilichonse, zimapangitsa thupi kukula kukulira mwa kudzimanga nalo m'chikondi. ” (Aefeso 4: 11-16 WEB [World English Bible])

Thupi lathu limapangidwa ndi ziwalo zambiri, chilichonse chili ndi ntchito yake. Komabe pali mutu umodzi wokha womwe ukuwongolera zinthu zonse. Mumpingo wachikhristu, muli mtsogoleri m'modzi yekha, Khristu. Tonsefe ndife mamembala omwe amathandizira limodzi kuti athandize ena onse mchikondi.

Pamene tikuwerenga gawo lotsatira kuchokera ku New International Version, dzifunseni komwe mungakwaniritse mndandandawu?

“Tsopano inu ndinu thupi la Khristu, ndipo aliyense wa inu ndi gawo lake. Ndipo Mulungu adayika mu mpingo choyambirira mwa atumwi onse, chachiwiri aneneri, chachitatu aphunzitsi, kenako zozizwitsa, kenako mphatso za machiritso, kuthandiza, kuwongolera, ndi malilime osiyanasiyana. Onse ali atumwi? Ali aneneri onse? Kodi onse ndi aphunzitsi? Kodi onse amachita zozizwitsa? Kodi onse ali ndi mphatso zochiritsa? Kodi onse amalankhula m'malirime? Kodi onse amasulira? Tsopano kulakalaka mphatso zazikulu. Ndipo komabe ndikuwonetsani njira yabwino kwambiri. ” (1 Akorinto 12: 28-31 NIV)

Mphatso zonsezi sizinaperekedwe kwa atsogoleri osankhidwa, koma kupereka thupi la Khristu ndi antchito oyenerera oti azitumikira ku zosowa zawo.

Momwe Paulo akuwonetsera bwino momwe mpingo uyenera kukhalira, ndipo izi ndizosiyana bwanji ndi momwe zinthu ziliri mdziko lapansi, komanso, m'zipembedzo zambiri zomwe zimati ndi Christian Standard. Ngakhale asanatchule mphatsozi, adaziyika zonse moyenera:

“M'malo mwake, ziwalo za thupi zomwe zimawoneka ngati zofooka ndizofunikira, ndipo ziwalo zomwe timaganiza kuti ndizosalemekezedwa timazilemekeza mwapadera. Ndipo ziwalo zomwe sizowoneka bwino zimasamalidwa mwapadera, pomwe magawo athu owoneka bwino safuna chithandizo chapadera. Koma Mulungu anaphatikiza thupi, napatsa ulemu wopambana ziwalo zomwe zinalibe, kuti pasakhale kugawanika m'thupi; koma kuti ziwalo zifanane ndi kusamalana. Chiwalo chimodzi chimavutika, chiwalo chilichonse chimavutika nacho; ngati gawo limodzi lilemekezedwa, gawo lirilonse likondwera nalo. ” (1 Akorinto 12: 22-26 NIV)

Kodi pali gawo lina la thupi lanu lomwe mumalinyoza? Kodi pali chiwalo chilichonse cha thupi lanu chomwe mungafune kuchichotsa? Mwina chala chaching'ono kapena pinki? Ndikukayika. Ndi mmenenso zilili ndi mpingo wachikhristu. Ngakhale gawo laling'ono kwambiri ndilofunika kwambiri.

Koma kodi Paulo amatanthauza chiyani pamene anati tiyenera kuyesetsa kuti tikhale ndi mphatso zazikulu? Popeza zonse zomwe takambirana, mwina sangatilimbikitse kuti tipeze kutchuka, koma makamaka mphatso zantchito.

Apanso, tiyenera kutembenukira ku nkhaniyo. Koma tisanachite izi, tizikumbukira kuti magawo ndi matembenuzidwe omwe anali mumabaibulo sanalipo pomwe mawuwa adalembedwa koyambirira. Chifukwa chake, tiyeni tiwerenge nkhaniyo pozindikira kuti kusweka kwa mutu sikukutanthauza kuti pali lingaliro kapena kusintha mutu. M'malo mwake, panthawiyi, lingaliro la vesi 31 limatsogolera mwachindunji ku chaputala 13 vesi 1.

Paulo akuyamba posiyanitsa mphatso zomwe wangofotokozerazi ndi chikondi ndikuwonetsa kuti iwo alibe kanthu popanda iwo.

“Ndingakhale ndilankhula malilime a anthu ndi a angelo koma ndilibe chikondi, ndikhala chinganga chongomenya, kapena nguli yolira. Ndipo ndingakhale ndili nayo mphatso yakunenera ndikamvetsa zinsinsi zonse zopatulika ndi chidziwitso chonse, ndipo ngati ndili nacho chikhulupiriro chonse kuti nditha kusuntha mapiri, koma ndilibe chikondi, sindine kanthu. Ndipo ngati ndipereka chuma changa chonse kudyetsa ena, ndipo ngati ndipereka thupi langa kuti ndidzitame, koma ndilibe chikondi, sindipindula konse. ” (1 Akorinto 13: 1-3 NWT)

Tiyeni tiwone momveka bwino pakumvetsetsa kwathu ndikugwiritsa ntchito mavesiwa. Zilibe kanthu momwe mungaganizire kuti ndinu ofunika. Zilibe kanthu kuti ena akuwonetsani ulemu wotani. Zilibe kanthu kuti ndinu anzeru kapena ophunzira bwanji. Zilibe kanthu kuti ndinu mphunzitsi wabwino kapena mlaliki wachangu. Ngati chikondi sichikulimbikitsani zonse zomwe mumachita, simuli kanthu. Palibe. Ngati tilibe chikondi, chilichonse chomwe timachita chimafikira pa izi:
Popanda chikondi, mumangokhala phokoso. Paulo akupitiliza kuti:

“Chikondi n’choleza mtima ndiponso n’chokoma mtima. Chikondi sichidukidwa. Sichidziwa kudzitamanda, sichidzikuza, sichichita zosayenera, sichitsata za mwini yekha, sichipsa mtima. Sichisunga zifukwa. Sichikondwera ndi zosalungama, koma chimakondwera ndi choonadi. Chimakwirira zinthu zonse, chimakhulupirira zinthu zonse, chimayembekezera zinthu zonse, chimapirira zinthu zonse. Chikondi sichitha nthawi zonse. Koma ngati pali mphatso za kunenera, zidzatha; ngati pali malirime, adzatha; ngati kuli kudziwa, kudzatha. ” (1 Akorinto 13: 4-8 NWT)

Ichi ndi chikondi chapamwamba kwambiri. Ichi ndi chikondi chimene Mulungu ali nacho pa ife. Uwu ndiye chikondi chomwe Khristu ali nacho pa ife. Chikondi chimenechi “sichitsata za mwini yekha.” Chikondi ichi chimafunafuna zabwino za wokondedwayo. Chikondi ichi sichimalepheretsa wina ulemu kapena mwayi wopembedzedwa kapena kumana wina mtundu waubwenzi ndi Mulungu womwe ndi ufulu wake.

Chachikulu pazonsezi zikuwoneka kuti kufunafuna mphatso zazikulu kudzera mchikondi sikubweretsa kutchuka tsopano. Kulimbikira mphatso zazikuluzikulu ndikutsata kuyesetsa kuthandiza ena, kukwaniritsa zosowa za munthu ndi thupi lonse la Khristu. Ngati mukufuna kuyesetsa kuti mupeze mphatso zabwino, yesetsani kukonda.
Ndi kudzera mu chikondi titha kugwira mwamphamvu moyo wosatha woperekedwa kwa ana a Mulungu.

Tisanatseke, tiyeni tiwombere mwachidule zomwe taphunzira.

1. Akazi adagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi Mulungu munthawi ya Aisraele komanso munthawi yachikhristu ngati aneneri, oweruza, ngakhale opulumutsa.
2. Mneneri amabwera choyamba, chifukwa popanda mawu ouziridwa a Mulungu olankhulidwa kudzera mwa mneneriyo, mphunzitsiyo sangakhale ndi phindu loti aphunzitse.
3. Mphatso za Mulungu za atumwi, aneneri, aphunzitsi, ochiritsa, ndi zina, sizinaperekedwe kwa amuna okha, koma kwa amuna ndi akazi.
4. Kapangidwe kaulamuliro waumunthu kapena olowezera mipingo ndi momwe dziko limalamulira ena.
5. Mumpingo, omwe akufuna kutsogolera ayenera kukhala akapolo a ena.
6. Mphatso ya mzimu yomwe tonsefe tiyenera kuyesetsa ndi chikondi.
7. Pomaliza, tili ndi mtsogoleri m'modzi, Khristu, koma tonse ndife abale ndi alongo.

Chomwe chatsala ndi funso loti episkopos ("woyang'anira") ndi presbyteros ("bambo wachikulire") mu mpingo. Kodi awa angatchulidwe monga maudindo otanthauza ofesi ina kapena kusankhidwa mu mpingo; ndipo ngati ndi choncho, kodi akazi akuyenera kuphatikizidwa?

Komabe, tisanayankhe funsoli, pali china chake chomwe tikufunika kuthana nacho.

Paulo akuuza Akorinto kuti mkazi ayenera kukhala chete ndipo ndizochititsa manyazi kuti azilankhula mu mpingo. Amauza Timoteo kuti mkazi saloledwa kulanda udindo wamwamuna. Kuphatikiza apo, akutiuza kuti mutu wa mkazi aliyense ndi mwamuna. (1 Akorinto 14: 33-35; 1 Timoteo 2:11, 12; 1 Akorinto 11: 3)

Popeza zonse zomwe taphunzira pakadali pano, zingatheke bwanji? Kodi sizikuwoneka kuti zikutsutsana ndi zomwe taphunzira mpaka pano? Mwachitsanzo, kodi mkazi angaimirire bwanji mu mpingo ndikunenera, monga Paulo mwiniwake ananenera, pomwe nthawi yomweyo amakhala chete? Kodi akuyenera kulosera pogwiritsa ntchito manja kapena chilankhulo chamanja? Kutsutsana komwe kumapangika ndikowonekera. Izi zitha kuyika mphamvu zathu zakulingalira pogwiritsa ntchito mafotokozedwe, koma tizisiya pamavidiyo athu otsatira.

Monga nthawi zonse, zikomo chifukwa chothandizidwa komanso kulimbikitsidwa kwanu.
