Sizatfu lesenta Johane wabhalela Gayusi bekungasiko nje kumbonga kuphela. Bekafuna nekumsita kutsi angayicatulula njani lenkinga lenkhulu lebekabhekane nayo. Sizatfu besikutsi lelinye lilunga lelibandla lebuKhristu lelinguDiyotrefesi belingafuni kwemukela emaKhristu lavakashile. Waphindze wetama kucindzetela nalamanye emaKhristu kutsi angawemukeli.​—3 Joh. 9, 10.

Liciniso, emaKhristu letsembekile bekangeke afune kuhlala naDiyotrefesi ngisho noma ngabe timo betivuma kutsi ente kanjalo. Diyotrefesi bekatsandza tindzawo letiphambili ebandleni, angafuni lutfo lolushiwo nguJohane futsi bekasakata inkhulumo lengemanga ngalomphostoli nangalabanye bazalwane. Nanobe Johane angazange ambite ngekutsi ngumfundzisi wemanga, kodvwa Diyotrefesi abengalemukeli ligunya lalomphostoli. Sifiso saDiyotrefesi sekuvelela kanye nesimo sakhe lesingesiso sebuKhristu senta kwekutsi kwetsembeka kwakhe kuNkulunkulu kusolise. Lendzaba yaDiyotrefesi ibonisa kutsi bantfu labafuna ludvumo kanye nalabatigcabhako bangabangela umoya wekwehlukana ebandleni. Ngako lamavi aJohane lawasho kuGayusi latsi: “Ungakulingisi lokubi,” ayasebenta nakitsi lamuhla.​—3 Joh 11.

Kwesibili, akukafanele simangale nangabe ngaletinye tikhatsi kuhle kuba khona labavukela ligunya emabandleni esikhatsini setfu. Ligunya laJohane kanye nelemphostoli Pawula labekelwa inselele. (2 Khor. 10:7-12; 12:11-13) Nobe kunjalo, yini lokufanele siyente nangabe kuvela simo lesinjalo ebandleni? Pawula weluleka Thimothi watsi: “Sisebenti seNkhosi akukafaneli silwe, kodvwa kufanele sibe nemusa kubo bonkhe, sikufanele kufundzisa, futsi sitibambe nasoniwa, sibayale ngemoya lomuhle labo labamelene naso.” Nangabe sihlala sitibambile futsi singatfukutseli kakhulu ngisho noma sichukulutwa, labo labanesimo lesibi bangagcine sebayishintjile indlela labenta ngayo. Ngekuvumelana naloko, Jehova “angahle ente inhlitiyo yabo ishintje, batfole lwati lolungulonalona lweliciniso.”​—2 Thim. 2:24, 25.
