“Oltaim yu mas lukautim gut ol dispela wok bilong yu. Yu mas wok hat long mekim olgeta dispela wok i kamap gut, na bai olgeta manmeri i lukim pasin bilong yu yet i kamap gutpela tru.”—1 TI. 4:15.
1. God i laik bai ol yangpela i stap olsem wanem?
“YUPELA yangpela manmeri, yupela i mas amamas long taim yupela i yangpela yet. Yupela i ken bihainim tingting na laik bilong yupela yet.” (Sav. 11:9) King Solomon bilong Israel bilong bipo i bin raitim dispela tok. God Jehova em i As bilong dispela tok, na em i laik bai yupela ol yangpela i ken stap amamas taim yupela i yangpela yet, na long bihain tu. Tasol insait long ol yia ol i stap yangpela, planti i save mekim ol pasin i bagarapim amamas bilong ol long bihain. Gutpela man Jop i bel hevi, long wanem, ‘ol sin em i bin mekim long taim em i yangpela i putim bikpela hevi tru long em.’ (Jop 13:26) Namel long 13 i go 25 krismas samting, ol yangpela Kristen i mas mekim ol bikpela disisen. Sapos ol i no skelim gut, dispela inap bagarapim tru bel bilong ol na givim hevi long ol long ol yia i kamap bihain.—Sav. 11:10.
2. Olsem wanem Baibel inap helpim ol yangpela na ol i no ken mekim ol bikpela rong?
2 Tasol ol yangpela i mas mekim ol gutpela disisen. Tingim tok aposel Pol i givim long ol Korin. Em i tok: “Yupela i no ken i stap olsem ol pikinini long tingting bilong yupela. Nogat. . . . Tingting bilong yupela i mas i stap olsem tingting bilong ol bikpela man.” (1 Ko. 14:20) Sapos ol yangpela i bihainim tok long kisim pasin bilong tingting na skelim gut ol samting olsem man i bikpela pinis, dispela bai helpim ol na ol i no ken mekim ol bikpela rong.
3. Yu inap mekim wanem bilong kisim pasin bilong tingting na skelim gut ol samting?
3 Sapos yu wanpela yangpela, yu mas tingim olsem bilong kisim pasin bilong tingting na skelim gut ol samting, yu mas wok strong. Pol i tokim Timoti: “Ol i lukim yu i yangpela liklik, tasol ol i no ken ting yu man nating. Nogat. Yu mas mekim ol gutpela pasin tasol, bai ol Kristen i ken lukim pasin bilong yu na bihainim. Yu mas mekim gutpela pasin long tok bilong yu na long wokabaut bilong yu na long pasin bilong laikim tru ol arapela na long pasin bilong bilip na long pasin bilong i stap klin tru long ai bilong God. . . . Yu mas wok yet long ritim buk bilong God long ol manmeri na long autim as bilong tok long ol na long skulim ol gut. . . . Oltaim yu mas lukautim gut ol dispela wok bilong yu. Yu mas wok hat long mekim olgeta dispela wok i kamap gut, na bai olgeta manmeri i lukim pasin bilong yu yet i kamap gutpela tru.” (1 Ti. 4:12-15) Ol yangpela Kristen i mas wok long kamap strong na ol narapela i ken lukim pasin bilong ol i kamap gutpela tru.
Pasin Bilong Kamap Strong Em Wanem Samting?
4. Wanem samting i insait long wok bilong kamap strong long ol samting bilong spirit?
4 Bilong kamap strong, man i mas “wok strong, na senisim pasin i kamap gutpela moa.” Pol i kirapim Timoti long wok strong bambai em i ken mekim gutpela pasin long tok bilong em, long wokabaut, long pasin bilong laikim tru ol arapela, long bilip, long pasin bilong stap klin tru, na tu, long pasin bilong mekim wok bilong God. Em i mas wok strong na bai pasin bilong em i stap olsem gutpela piksa. Olsem na Timoti i mas wok yet long kamap strong long ol samting bilong spirit.
5, 6. (a) Long wanem taim Timoti i kamapim olsem em i wok long kamap strong? (b) Long pasin bilong kamap strong, olsem wanem ol yangpela long nau i ken bihainim pasin bilong Timoti?
5 Taim Pol i raitim dispela tok namel long 61 na 64 C.E., Timoti i stap strongpela elda pinis. I no olsem nau tasol em i wok long kamap strong long ol samting bilong spirit. Long 49 o 50 C.E., taim Timoti i gat 20 krismas samting, “ol Kristen long Listra na Aikoniam ol i tok long pasin bilong em olsem, Timoti i gutpela man.” Ol dispela man i bin lukim olsem em i wok long kamap strong long ol samting bilong spirit. (Ap. 16:1-5) Long dispela taim, Pol i kisim Timoti i go wantaim em long wanpela raun bilong em olsem misineri. Pol i lukim olsem Timoti i mekim gutpela wok tru inap sampela mun, olsem na Pol i salim Timoti i go long Tesalonaika bilong mekim gut bel na strongim ol Kristen long dispela taun. (Ritim 1 Tesalonaika 3:1-3, 6.) Tru tumas, taim Timoti i yangpela yet em i kamapim klia olsem em i wok long kamap strong.
6 Yupela ol yangpela long kongrigesen, nau yupela i mas wok long kamap strong long ol samting bilong spirit, bambai ol man i ken lukim olsem yupela i kamapim ol gutpela pasin Kristen na yupela i gat save long skulim ol man long tok i tru bilong Baibel. Taim Jisas i gat 12-pela krismas, em i wok long mekim “save bilong en i kamap gutpela tru.” (Lu. 2:52) Orait, nau yumi laik skelim olsem wanem yu inap kamapim olsem yu wok long kamap strong long 3-pela samting long laip bilong yu: (1) taim hevi i painim yu, (2) taim yu redi long marit, na (3) taim yu wok long “kamap gutpela wokman bilong Krais.”—1 Ti. 4:6.
“Bihainim Gutpela Tingting” Taim Hevi i Painim Yu
7. Ol hevi inap mekim wanem long ol yangpela?
7 Carol, wanpela Kristen i gat 17 krismas, i tok: “Sampela taim bel, skin, na tingting bilong mi i bagarap tru, na mi no laik kirap long moningtaim.”a Bilong wanem em i bel hevi tru? Taim Carol i gat 10-pela krismas, papamama bilong em i brukim marit, na em i sindaun wantaim mama bilong em husat i sakim ol lo bilong Baibel long stretpela pasin. Olsem Carol, ating yu karim bikpela hevi tru na i luk olsem sindaun i no inap kamap gutpela.

8 Taim Timoti i wok long kamap strong long ol samting bilong spirit, em tu i mas karim ol hevi. Olsem, em i “sik oltaim,” long wanem, em i gat wanpela sik long bel. (1 Ti. 5:23) Sampela Kristen long Korin i laik daunim wok aposel bilong Pol. Taim Pol i salim Timoti i go long Korin bilong stretim dispela hevi, em i tokim kongrigesen olsem ol i mas wok gut wantaim Timoti na em “i no ken pret.” (1 Ko. 4:17; 16:10, 11) Ating Timoti i man bilong sem, o pret.
9. Pasin bilong bihainim “gutpela tingting” i makim wanem samting? Olsem wanem dispela pasin i narapela kain long tingting bilong pret?
9 Bilong helpim Timoti, bihain Pol i tokim em: “God i no givim yumi tingting bilong pret, nogat. Em i givim yumi tingting bilong stap strong na long mekim pasin laikim na bihainim gutpela tingting.” (2 Ti. 1:7, NW) Pasin bilong bihainim “gutpela tingting” i makim olsem man i mas tingting na skelim gut ol samting. Olsem yu tingting gut maski wanem wanem hevi i painim yu. Sampela yangpela i gat tingting bilong pret na ol i traim long abrusim ol hevi long rot bilong slip tumas o lukim tumas TV, o kisim drak na dring alkohol, o pati oltaim, o mekim pasin pamuk. Baibel i kirapim ol Kristen long “lusim pasin bilong givim baksait long God na long lusim olgeta laik nogut bilong dispela graun, na . . . long tingting gut na wokabaut stret. Tru, yumi stap namel long ol manmeri bilong dispela graun, tasol marimari bilong God i skulim yumi long bihainim pasin bilong God.”—Ta. 2:12.
10, 11. Olsem wanem pasin bilong bihainim gutpela tingting inap helpim yumi long kamap strongpela Kristen?
10 Baibel i kirapim ‘ol man i yangpela liklik long bosim gut pasin bilong ol,’ olsem bihainim gutpela tingting. (Ta. 2:6) Bilong bihainim dispela tok, yu mas beten long God na bilip olsem em bai givim strong long yu long karim ol hevi. (Ritim 1 Pita 4:7.) Long dispela rot bai yu kisim pasin bilong bilip long “strong God i save givim.”—1 Pi. 4:11.
11 Pasin bilong bihainim gutpela tingting na beten i bin helpim Carol. Em i tok: “Mi bin hatwok tru long sakim pasin nogut bilong mama bilong mi, winim hatwok bilong ol narapela samting. Tasol pasin bilong beten i bin helpim mi tru. Mi save olsem Jehova i stap wantaim mi, olsem na mi no pret moa.” Tingim, ol hevi inap helpim yu long kisim gutpela pasin moa na ol inap strongim yu. (Sng. 105:17-19; Kra. 3:27) Maski yu mas karim wanem hevi, God i no inap lusim yu. Em bai “helpim” yu tru.—Ais. 41:10.
Redi Long Marit
12. Ol Kristen i tingting long marit, bilong wanem ol i mas bihainim stiatok i stap long Sindaun 20:25?

Tasol pasin bilong mekim promis bilong marit i wanpela bikpela samting. Long taim ol man i bin raitim Baibel, sampela man i bin mekim wanpela promis hariap, na ol i no tingim gut samting ol i mas mekim. (Ritim Sindaun 20:25.) Sampela taim, ol yangpela i no tingim gut bikpela wok ol i mas mekim bambai marit i ken stap gut. Bihain, ol i kisim save olsem ol i mas mekim bikpela wok tru.
13. Ol yangpela i laik marit, ol i mas tingim wanem ol askim? Ol inap kisim wanem ol gutpela tok bilong helpim ol?
13 Olsem na paslain long yu laik prenim wanpela man o meri na yu tingting long marit, yu mas askim yu yet olsem: ‘Bilong wanem mi laik marit? Mi laik bai marit bilong mi i stap olsem wanem? Dispela man o meri i stret long mi? Mi redi long mekim ol wok olsem man o meri marit?’ Bilong helpim yu long skelim gut ol samting, “wokboi i gat gutpela tingting” i bin kamapim planti tok i stori long dispela samting.b (Mt. 24:45-47) Tingim ol dispela tok olsem tok Jehova i givim long yu. Skelim gut ol dispela tok na bihainim. No ken larim yu yet i “kamap olsem hos na donki. Tupela i no gat save.” (Sng. 32:8, 9) Kamap olsem man i bikpela pinis long save bilong ol samting bilong marit. Sapos yu ting olsem yu redi long prenim wanpela man o meri, long olgeta taim tingim olsem yu laik i stap gutpela piksa long “pasin bilong i stap klin tru.”—1 Ti. 4:12.

Olsem Man i stap gutpela piksa bilong yumi ken bihainim, ‘Krais i no bin ting long helpim em yet tasol.’ (Ro. 15:3) Sapos tupela poroman wantaim i no tingting long helpim ol yet tasol, na ol i tingting long helpim narapela, famili bai stap bel isi tru na amamas. (1 Ko. 10:24) Man marit bai daunim laik bilong em yet na kamapim pasin laikim, na meri bai daun long man bilong em olsem Jisas i daun long Het bilong em.—1 Ko. 11:3; Ef. 5:25.
‘Mekim Tru Wok Bilong Helpim Ol Manmeri’

Yu gat wok bilong helpim ol manmeri, na yu mas mekim tru dispela wok.” (2 Ti. 4:1, 2, 5) Bilong mekim dispela wok, Timoti i mas “kisim bikpela strong long ol gutpela tok [em i] bilip long en.”—Ritim 1 Timoti 4:6.

Oltaim yu mas lukautim gut ol dispela wok bilong yu. Yu mas wok hat long mekim olgeta dispela wok i kamap gut.” (1 Ti. 4:13, 15) Bilong kamap gutpela moa, yumi mas wok strong long stadi. Dispela tok “wok hat” i givim tingting olsem man i wok strong tru long mekim wanpela wok. Olsem wanem long pasin bilong yu long stadi? Yu save wok hat long kisim save long “olgeta tingting hait bilong God”? (1 Ko. 2:10) O yu save givim hap bel tasol?

Long dispela rot, oltaim mi wok long kamap strong moa long ol samting bilong spirit.” Sapos yu mekim wok painia, dispela bai helpim yu long kamap gutpela moa long yusim Baibel long taim bilong autim tok, na long kamap strong long ol samting bilong spirit.
