Lithini IBhayibheli Ngokuziphophotha Nokufaka Ubucwebe?
Impendulo YeBhayibheli
Nakuba lingasho okuningi ngale ndaba, iBhayibheli alikwenqabeli ukusebenzisa izinto zokuziphophotha, nokufaka ubucwebe noma ezinye izinto zokuhloba. Kunokugxila endleleni umuntu abukeka ngayo, iBhayibheli likhuthaza “isambatho esingenakonakala somoya onokuthula nobumnene.”—1 Petru 3:3, 4.
Akukubi ukuzihlobisa ukuze sibe bahle
IBhayibheli likhuluma ngabesifazane abathembekile ababezihlobisa. URebheka, owashada no-Isaka, wayefake icici ekhaleni, ibhengela legolise nobunye ubucwebe obubizayo ayebuphiwe u-Abrahama owayezoba ubabezala wakhe. (Genesise 24:22, 30, 53) U-Esteri naye ‘wabhucungwa’ ukuze alungiselele ukuba indlovukazi eMbusweni wamaPheresiya. (Esteri 2:7, 9, 12) Kubonakala sengathi ngesikhathi ebhucungwa, kwakusetshenziswa izinto “ezahlukahlukene zokuziphophotha.”—I-New International Version; Easy-to-Read Version.
IBhayibheli likhuluma kahle ngobucwebe. Ngokwesibonelo, umuntu onezeluleko ezinhle ufaniswa ‘necici legolide endlebeni ezwayo.’ (IzAga 25:12) UNkulunkulu wafanisa indlela ayephatha ngayo isizwe sakwa-Israyeli nendoda ehlobisa umkayo ngamabhengela, umgexo namacici. Lezi zinto zokuhloba, zenza lesi sizwe saba ‘sihle kakhulu.’—Hezekeli 16:11-13.
