Kusakwana kwatakagara nhaka kwakaita kuti tive pasi po“mutemo wechivi noworufu.” (VaR. 8:2) Saka tinofanira kushandurwa, “kuitwa vatsva musimba rinoita kuti pfungwa dze[du] dzishande” nokubva tangochinja zvido zvedu.

4 Verenga VaRoma 12:6-8, 11.

Vanoshingairira “ushumiri uhwu” nokudzidza, kutsvakurudza, kudzidzisa, uye kufudza kwavanoita.

Pauro anowedzera kuti: “Fungaiwo nezvevamwe semafungiro amunozviita.” Mune imwe yetsamba dzaakanyora, muapostora wacho anotiudza kuti musaita “chinhu nokukakavara kana kuzvikudza, asi nepfungwa dzinozvininipisa muchifunga kuti vamwe vakuru kwamuri.” (VaF. 2:3) Kuti tibvume kuti hama nehanzvadzi dzedu dzine zvimwewo zvadzinotipfuura zvinotoda kuti tizvininipise toramba tichizviyeuchidza pfungwa iyoyo. Kuzvininipisa kuchabatsira kuti ‘tisazviti takangwara.’ Kunyange zvazvo dzimwe ropafadzo dzingaita kuti vamwe vanyanye kuzivikanwa, tose tichafara zvikuru kana tikaita “zvinhu zvakaderera,” kureva mabasa epasi asingawanzocherechedzwi nevamwe vanhu.—1 Pet. 5:5.

Kubva kwaari, muviri wose uchinyatsobatanidzwa pamwe chete uye uchiitwa kuti ushandire pamwe chete pachishandiswa mapfundo ose anopa zvinodiwa, maererano nokushanda kwenhengo imwe neimwe mumwero wakakodzera, unoita kuti muviri ukure kuti uzvivake murudo.”—VaEf. 4:15, 16.

10 Kunyange zvazvo “mamwe makwai” asiri muboka rinoumba nhengo dzomuviri waKristu, angadzidza zvakawanda pamufananidzo uyu. (Joh. 10:16) Pauro anoti Jehovha “akaisawo zvinhu zvose pasi petsoka dza[Kristu], akaita kuti iye ave musoro wezvinhu zvose kuungano.” (VaEf. 1:22) Mazuva ano, “zvinhu zvose” zvakaiswa naJehovha pasi poMwanakomana wake zvinosanganisira mamwe makwai. Mamwe makwai aya anoumbawo “zvinhu” zvakapiwa “muranda akatendeka, akangwara” naKristu.

Nokuti maererano nezvavaikwanisa kuita chaizvo, chokwadi, ndinopupurira kuti, izvi zvaipfuura zvavaikwanisa kuita chaizvo, ivo vachizvidira vakaramba vachitikumbira vachiteterera kwazvo kuti vawane ropafadzo yokupa nomutsa uye kuti vagoverane mukushumirwa kwaiitirwa vatsvene [muJudhiya].” (2 VaK. 8:2-4) Kunyange zvazvo vaivawo varombo, vaKristu vokuMakedhoniya vaiva norupo. Vaiona kugovana nehama dzavo dzaishayiwa dzaiva muJudhiya seropafadzo.
