Kumanga ndi Zomangira Zoyenera

 9. Ngakhale kuti Paulo makamaka anali woika maziko, kodi anali ndi nkhaŵa yotani kwa aja amene analandira choonadi chimene anawaphunzitsa?

⁹ Paulo analemba kuti: “Koma ngati wina amanga pamazikowo, golidi, siliva, miyala yamtengo wake, mtengo, maudzu, dziputu, ntchito ya yense idzaonetsedwa; pakuti tsikulo lidzaisonyeza, chifukwa kuti yavumbuluka m’moto; ndipo moto wokha udzayesera ntchito ya yense ikhala yotani.” (1 Akorinto 3:12, 13) Kodi Paulo anatanthauzanji? Talingalirani zochitika zakumbuyo. Paulo makamaka anali woika maziko. Pamaulendo ake aumishonale, anayendayenda kumzinda ndi mzinda, kulalikira kwa anthu ambiri omwe sanamvepo za Kristu. (Aroma 15:20) Pamene anthu analandira choonadi chimene anawaphunzitsa, mipingo inapangidwa. Paulo ankasamala kwambiri za okhulupirira amenewo. (2 Akorinto 11:28, 29) Komabe, ntchito yake inafuna kuti apitirizebe maulendo ake. Chotero atatha miyezi 18 akuika maziko ku Korinto, anachoka nakalalikira kumizinda ina. Komabe, anafunitsitsa kwambiri kudziŵa mmene ena anapitirizira ndi ntchito imene iye anachita kumeneko.​—Machitidwe 18:8-11; 1 Akorinto 3:6.

10, 11. (a) Kodi Paulo anaisiyanitsa motani mitundu ya zomangira? (b) Kodi m’Korinto wakale mungakhale munali nyumba zenizeni zamitundu yotani? (c) Kodi ndi nyumba zotani zomwe zingapulumuke moto, ndipo zimenezo zikupereka chitsanzo chotani kwa Akristu opanga ophunzira?

¹⁰ Zikukhala ngati ena amene anali kumanga pamaziko amene Paulo anaika ku Korinto sanali kumanga bwino. Pofuna kuvumbula vutolo, Paulo akusiyanitsa mitundu iŵiri ya zomangira: golidi, siliva, ndi miyala yamtengo wake kumbali ina; mitengo, maudzu, ndi dziputu kumbali inanso. Nyumba ingamangidwe ndi zomangira zabwino, zokhalitsa ndi zosagwira moto; kapenanso ingamangidwe msangamsanga ndi zomangira zosalimba, zakanthaŵi, ndi zogwira moto. Mosakayikira mzinda waukulu ngati Korinto unali ndi nyumba zambiri zomangidwa ndi zomangira zamitundu iŵiriyo. Munali akachisi aakulu opangidwa ndi miyala yaikulu yamtengo wapatali, mwinamwake yokhala ndi golidi ndi siliva kutsogolo kwake kapena m’mbali zina ndi zina.b Mwinamwake nyumba zokhalitsa zimenezi zinali zazitali ndipo mmunsi mwake munali nyumba, zithando, ndi pogulitsira, zomangidwa ndi matabwa osakonzeka ndiponso zofolera ndi udzu.

12. Kodi ndi motani mmene Akristu ena a ku Korinto ankachitira ntchito yoipa pomanga?

¹² Mwachionekere, Paulo anaona kuti Akristu ena ku Korinto sanali kumanga bwino. Chinalakwika nchiyani? Malinga ndi nkhaniyo, mumpingo munali magaŵano, kukopeka ndi maumunthu ngakhale kuti zimenezo zinasokoneza umodzi wa mpingo. Ena ankati, “Ine ndine wa Paulo,” pamene ena ankaumirira kuti, “Ndine wa Apolo.” Ena mwachionekere ankadziyesa anzeru kwambiri. Choncho nzosadabwitsa kuti panatsatira malingaliro athupi, ukhanda wauzimu, ndi “nkhwidzi ndi ndewu” zochuluka. (1 Akorinto 1:12; 3:1-4, 18) Mzimu umenewu sunalephere kuonekera m’chiphunzitso chimene chinaperekedwa mumpingo ndi mu utumiki. Zotsatira zake zinali zakuti ntchito yawo yopanga ophunzira inali yoipa, yofanana ndi kumanga nyumba ndi zomangira zosalimba. Sikanapulumuka “moto.” Kodi Paulo anali kulankhula za moto wotani?

14. (a) Kodi ndi motani mmene zinthu za Akristu opanga ophunzira ‘zingawonongekere,’ koma kodi angapulumuke motani monga mwa moto? (b) Kodi tingapewe motani kutayikidwa?

¹⁴ Mawu amenewo akufuna kuwaganizapo kwambiri! Zingakhale zopweteka kulimbikira kuthandiza munthu wina kukhala wophunzira, ndiyeno kumuona akugonja pachiyeso kapena chizunzo ndipo m’kupita kwa nthaŵi kusiya njira ya choonadi. Paulo akuvomereza zomwezo pamene akuti zikatere zathu zonse zimawonongeka. Zimenezo zingakhale zopweteka kwambiri moti chipulumutso chathu chikufotokozedwa kukhala “monga momwe mwa moto”​—monga munthu amene zake zonse zatenthedwa ndi moto ndipo iye nkupulumutsidwa ali pafupi kutenthedwa. Nangano kodi ifeyo tingaipewe motani ngozi ya kutayikidwa zathu zonse? Timange ndi zomangira zokhalitsa! Ngati tiphunzitsa ophunzira athu mwanjira yoti tikuwafika pamtima, kuwasonkhezera kuyamikira mikhalidwe yachikristu yamtengo wapatali monga nzeru, kuzindikira, kuopa Yehova, ndi chikhulupiriro chenicheni, ndiye kuti tikumanga ndi zomangira zokhalitsa zosagwira moto. (Salmo 19:9, 10; Miyambo 3:13-15; 1 Petro 1:6, 7) Amene amapeza mikhalidwe imeneyi amapitiriza kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu; chiyembekezo chawo chokhala ndi moyo kosatha nchotsimikizirika. (1 Yohane 2:17) Komano kodi tingaligwiritse ntchito motani fanizo la Paulo kuti litithandize? Talingalirani zitsanzo zina.

15. Kodi tingachite motani kuti titsimikize kupewa kuchita ntchito yoipa pomanga ophunzira Baibulo athu?

¹⁵ Pophunzitsa ophunzira Baibulo, tisakweze anthu m’malo mwa Yehova Mulungu. Cholinga chathu sichakuti tiwaphunzitse kutiona ngati ndife gwero la nzeru zonse. Tikufuna kuti iwo aziyang’ana kwa Yehova, Mawu ake, ndi gulu lake kaamba ka chitsogozo. Pofuna kukwaniritsa zomwezo, sitiwauza malingaliro athuathu poyankha mafunso awo. M’malo mwake, timawaphunzitsa kupeza mayankho, kugwiritsa ntchito Baibulo ndi zofalitsa zomwe “kapolo wokhulupirika ndi wanzeru” wapereka. (Mateyu 24:45-47) Pazifukwa zofananazo, timasamala kusawachitira nsanje ophunzira Baibulo athu. M’malo moipidwa pamene ena aonetsa chidwi mwa iwo, tiyenera kulimbikitsa ophunzira athu ‘kufutukula’ chikondi chawo, kufika pakudziŵa ambiri mumpingo ndi kuwaŵerengera.​—2 Akorinto 6:12, 13, NW.

16. Kodi akulu angamange motani ndi zomangira zosagwira moto?

¹⁶ Akulunso achikristu amathandiza kwambiri pakumanga ophunzira. Pophunzitsa mpingo, amayesetsa kumanga ndi zomangira zosagwira moto. Iwo angasiyane maluso awo a kuphunzitsa, chidziŵitso, ndi maumunthu, koma sadyerera kusiyana kumeneku kuti akope ena kukhala otsatira awo. (Yerekezerani ndi Machitidwe 20:29, 30.) Sitikudziŵa kwenikweni chifukwa chake ena ku Korinto ankanena kuti, “Ine ndine wa Paulo,” kapena kuti, “Ndine wa Apolo.” Koma ndife otsimikiza kuti palibe aliyense wa akulu okhulupirika amenewa amene analimbikitsa magaŵano. Paulo sanali kukondwera ndi malingaliro amenewo; anawatsutsa zolimba. (1 Akorinto 3:5-7) Mofananamo lero, akulu amakumbukira kuti akuweta ‘gulu la Mulungu.’ (1 Petro 5:2) Si la munthu wina aliyense. Chotero akulu amatsutsa zolimba mzimu umene munthu mmodzi angakhale nawo wofuna kulamulira gulu la nkhosa kapena bungwe la akulu. Malinga ngati chikhumbo chimene chimasonkhezera akulu kutumikira mpingo chimaphatikizapo kudzichepetsa, kufuna kufika anthu pamtima, ndi kuthandiza nkhosa kutumikira Yehova ndi moyo wonse, amamanga ndi zomangira zosagwira moto.

17. Kodi makolo achikristu amayesetsa motani kumanga ndi zomangira zosagwira moto?

¹⁷ Makolonso achikristu imawakhudza kwambiri nkhani imeneyi. Iwo amalakalaka kwambiri kuona ana awo atakhala ndi moyo wosatha! Ndiye chifukwa chake amalimbikira ‘kuphunzitsa’ ana awo mapulinsipulo a Mawu a Mulungu kuwaloŵetsa m’mitima yawo. (Deuteronomo 6:6, 7) Amafuna kuti ana awo adziŵe choonadi, osati monga mpambo wa malamulo kapena monga ndakatulo ya zikhulupiriro, koma monga njira ya moyo wachikwanekwane, wofupa, ndi wachimwemwe. (1 Timoteo 1:11, NW) Kuti amange ana awo kukhala ophunzira okhulupirika a Kristu, makolo achikondi amayesetsa kugwiritsa ntchito zomangira zosagwira moto. Amachita moleza mtima ndi ana awo, kuwathandiza kuchotsa mikhalidwe imene Yehova amada ndi kukulitsa mikhalidwe imene iye amakonda.​—Agalatiya 5:22, 23.
