Oshoshili kutya ngeenge umwe e tu handukifa, ohashi kala shidjuu oku shi dimbwa. Oshipu okuhanduka nokukala twa kwatela omunhu oo onghone. Ashike osho otashi tu ningifa ashike tu kale inatu hafa. Mepingafano naasho, ngeenge otwa dimine po omunhu oo e tu handukifa, ohatu ka kala tu na ombili yopamadiladilo, oukumwe meongalo, naasho sha fimanenena, ohatu ka kala tu na ekwatafano liwa naJehova. — Mateus 6:14, 15; Lukas 17:3, 4; Ovaroma 14:19.

Ngeenge osho osha ningwa, Ombiibeli oya popya sha yela kutya inatu ‘endafana naye.’ (Lesha 1 Ovakorinto 5:11-13; 2 Johannes 9-11) Osho otashi dulu okukala shidjuu neenghono ngeenge omunhu oo okaume ketu ile oshilyo shoukwaneumbo wetu. Ashike monghalo ya tya ngaho, otu na okukanyatela oudiinini wetu kuJehova ponhele yokukala ovadiinini komunhu wonhumba. — Tala omafatululo oitya pexulilo lembo, oshitwa 8.

(1 Ovakorinto 5:7; Ovaheberi 12:15, 16) Ohaku tu kwafele tu ulike kutya otu hole edina laJehova liyapuki, omifikamhango daye da denga mbada nosho yo Jehova mwene. (1 Petrus 1:15, 16) Elongekido li na sha nokukonda mo ovanyoni otali ulike kutya omunhu oo a kondwa oku holike. Outekuduliko wa kwata moiti oo otau dulu okukwafela omunyoni a mone kutya osho ta ningi osha puka noku mu linyengifa a ninge omalunduluko. Vahapu ovo va li va kondwa, lwanima ova alukila kuJehova nova tambulwa ko meongalo nohamu. — Ovaheberi 12:11.
