Tikutero chifukwa chakuti munthu amene wadzipereka kwa Yehova amalonjeza kuti azimukonda ndiponso kumumvera nthawi zonse.

(2 Akor. 2:11) Paja Baibulo limati Akhristu oona sayenera kukhala mbali ya dziko.—Werengani Yohane 15:18, 19.

⁴ Popeza ndife anthu ochimwa, mwina tikulimbana ndi maganizo olakwika amene tinali nawo tisanaphunzire za Yehova.

Tikambirananso zimene tingachite kuti tidziphunzitse kukhala okhulupirika kwa Yehova ndi Ufumu wake.

Baibulo limasonyeza kuti anthu ochokera m’maderawa sankagwirizana. (Yoh. 4:9) Panalinso kusagwirizana pakati pa Afarisi ndi Asaduki, anthu wamba ndi okhometsa misonkho komanso anthu ophunzira ndi osaphunzira. (Mac. 23:6-9; Mat. 9:11; Yoh. 7:49) Chinanso n’chakuti pa nthawiyo Aisiraeli ankalamuliridwa ndi Aroma ndipo sankagwirizana nawo. N’zoona kuti Yesu ankauza anthu molimba mtima za Yehova ndipo ankadziwa kuti Aisiraeli anali anthu ake apadera. Koma sankaphunzitsa ophunzira ake kuti iwo anali abwino kuposa anthu ena.

⁶ N’chifukwa chiyani Yesu sankadana ndi anthu ena ngati mmene Ayuda ambiri ankachitira? Chifukwa chakuti iye ndi Atate wake salowerera m’mikangano ya m’dzikoli.

Choncho Yehova ndi Yesu saona kuti anthu a mtundu wina kapena a chilankhulo china ndi apamwamba kuposa ena. (Mac. 10:34, 35; Chiv. 7:9, 13, 14) Ndiyetu tingachite bwino kutsatira chitsanzo chawo.—Mat. 5:43-48.
