IBhayibhili Lithini Ngokutshada Lokuhlala Ungatshadanga?
Abanye abantu bathi ukutshada yikho okwenza umuntu athokoze. Kodwa iqiniso yikuthi ayisibo bonke abatshadileyo abathokozayo futhi ayisibo bonke abakhethe ukuhlala bengatshadanga abangathokoziyo. IBhayibhili litshengisa ukuthi kokubili ukutshada lokuhlala ungatshadanga yizipho ezivela kuJehova.
1. Kunceda ngani ukuhlala ungatshadanga?
IBhayibhili lithi: “Otshadayo wenza kuhle, kodwa ohlala engatshadanga wenza kuhle kakhulu.” (Bala u-1 Khorinte 7:32, 33, 38.) Kutshoni ukuthi umuntu ohlala engatshadanga “wenza kuhle kakhulu”? UmKhristu okhetha ukuhlala engatshadanga kalamthwalo onjengowomuntu otshadileyo, owokunakekela omunye wakhe. Ulenkululeko ethe xaxa yokwenza okunengi ekukhonzeni uJehova. Ngokwesibonelo, kulula ukuthi athuthele kwelinye ilizwe ukuze ayetshumayela khona njalo ulesikhathi esinengi sokuqinisa ubungane bakhe loJehova.
2. Kunceda ngani ukutshada ngokusemthethweni?
Ukutshada lakho kuyanceda. IBhayibhili lithi “ababili bangcono kuloyedwa.” (UmTshumayeli 4:9) Amazwi la aliqiniso ikakhulu kwabatshadileyo abasebenzisa izimiso eziseBhayibhilini. Phela ukutshada ngokusemthethweni kwenza indoda lomkayo bazimisele ukuqhubeka bethandana, behloniphana futhi beqakathekisana. Kanti njalo kwenza bathembane kakhulu, okuyinto engaba nzima kulabo abahlala ndawonye bengatshadanga. Ukutshada kunceda lokuthi abazali bakhulise abantwababo bendawonye futhi lokhu kwenza abantwana bakhule behlalisekile.
3. UJehova uthini ngokutshada?
Ngesikhathi uJehova ehlanganisa u-Adamu lo-Eva wathi: “Indoda izatshiya uyise lonina inamathele kumkayo.” (UGenesisi 2:24) UJehova ufuna indoda lomkayo abatshadileyo bathandane futhi bahlale ndawonye okwempilo yabo yonke. Uthi bangadivosa kuphela nxa omunye wabo efebile futhi lowo owonelweyo nguye olelungelo lokukhetha ukuthi uzadivosa yini loba hatshi.a (UMathewu 19:9) UJehova kafuni ukuthi amaKhristu eqiniso athathe isithembo.—1 KuThimothi 3:2.

IBhayibhili alitsho ukuthi umuntu kumele atshade eseleminyaka emingaki. Kodwa lithi kumele atshade nxa “sekwedlule isikhathi lapho imizwa yakhe yobutsha elamandla khona.” Lesi yisikhathi lapho isifiso sokuya emacansini esilamandla kakhulu emuntwini osakhulayo futhi kubanzima ukuthi akhethe kuhle.—1 KwabaseKhorinte 7:36.
5. Khetha kuhle umuntu wokutshada laye

Emazweni amanengi ohulumende bakhangelele ukuthi abantu batshade ngokusemthethweni futhi badivose ngokusemthethweni. UJehova ukhangelele ukuthi amaKhristu eqiniso ayilandele imithetho le. Bala uThithusi 3:1 beselixoxa ngombuzo olandelayo:
