Nokho, u-Evnike wayengeyedwa ezinkolelweni zakhe. Kubonakala sengathi uThimothewu wathola imfundo yakhe ‘yemibhalo engcwele’ kubo bobabili unina nakuninakhulu, uLowisi.a Umphostoli uPawulu wanxusa uThimothewu: “Qhubeka ezintweni owazifunda futhi wathonyelwa ukuba uzikholelwe, wazi ukuthi wazifunda kubaphi abantu nokuthi kusukela uwusana uye wazi imibhalo engcwele, ekwazi ukukuhlakaniphisela insindiso ngokholo olumayelana noKristu Jesu.”—2 Thimothewu 3:14, 15.

UThimothewu ‘wathonyelwa ukuba akholelwe’ amaqiniso angokomBhalo. Ngokwesichazamazwi esithile sesiGreki igama uPawulu alisebenzisa lapha lisho “ukuthonywa ngokuqinile; ukuqinisekiswa” ngokuthile. Ngokungangabazeki, kwakudingeka isikhathi esiningi nomzamo ukuze kugxiliswe ukukholelwa okuqine ngaleyo ndlela enhliziyweni kaThimothewu, esizwa ukuba azindle ngeZwi likaNkulunkulu futhi abonise ukholo kulona. Khona-ke, kusobala ukuthi bobabili u-Evnike noLowisi basebenza kanzima ukuze bafundise uThimothewu ngemiBhalo. Yeka umvuzo labo besifazane abahlonipha uNkulunkulu abawuthola! UPawulu wayengabhala ngoThimothewu: “Ngiyalukhumbula ukholo olukuwe olungenabo noma ibuphi ubuzenzisi, futhi olwahlala kuqala kunyokokhulu uLowisi nakunyoko u-Evnike, kodwa engiqinisekayo ukuthi lukhona nakuwe futhi.”—2 Thimothewu 1:5.
