Ishiwi lya ciGriki ilyapilibulwa ‘ukuikaana,’ mu kutendekelako lyalola mu kuti “ukukaana.” Ico cilepilibula ukuti mu kuitemenwa tulaleka ukukonkelela amabuyo yesu, ifyo tulefwaisha, umusamwe, no kuisekesha—ukupampamina fye pa kusekesha Yehova iciyayaya conse.—Rom. 14:8; 15:3.
3 ‘Ukusende Cimuti Cakwe ica Kucushiwilwapo’: Ubumi bwa Mwina Kristu bwaba bumi bwa kusenda icimuti ca kucushiwilwapo ica kubombela Yehova mu kuipeela bulilambo. Inshila imo iyo twingalangishishamo umupashi wa kuipeela bulilambo ni mu kupilikita mu butumikishi. Ukufika pali ino nshita uno mwaka, bakasabankanya abengi balaipakisha umulimo wa bupainiya bwa kwafwilisha. Nakalimo na imwe mulebombako kabili kuti mwasuminisha ukuti amapaalo muipakisha yalicila pa malambo yantu mupeela. Abo abashaba na maka ya kubomba nga bapainiya ba kwafwilisha balatantika inshita yakulilako libili libili ukubombako mu mulimo wa kushimikila pamo nga bakasabankanya ba mu cilonganino. Pa kubomba muli iyo nshila, ifilonganino fimo filatantika ukukumana kwa mulimo wa mwi bala amaminiti yanono mu kubangilila ukucila fintu balecita akale.

4 Inshila na imbi twingalangilamo umupashi wa kuipeela bulilambo yaba kuimikila amabuyo fwe bene. Ilyo bamo batantika mu kusakamanishisha no kuteulula imibombele yabo, baliba bapainiya ba nshita yonse. Bambi baliba na maka ya kuteulula imibombele yabo pa kuti bengaipeela ukubomba umulimo wa pa Bethel nelyo uwa bumishonari. Bamo balikuukila ku ncende uko bakasabankanya ba Bufumu babulila.
5 ‘Ukunkonka mu Kutwalilila’: Nangu cingati abasambi ba kwa Yesu baculile ifya kwesha ifingi, balikoseleshiwe ku kupimpa kwakwe no kushipikisha mu butumikishi. (Yoh. 4:34) Umupashi wabo walibuukulwilwe lintu ali na bo no kukutika ku bukombe bwakwe. E mulandu wine abamukonkele balesekelela apakalamba. (Mat. 11:29) Mu nshila imo ine na ifwe bene natukoseleshanye ukutwalilila mu mulimo wacindamisha uwa kushimikila Ubufumu no mulimo wa kupanga abasambi.
