² Emyambalire eyuwene ni kindu kikulhu okwa bandu ba Yehova, kuthya n’oku Nyamuhanga oyo bakaramaya.

Busana n’ekyo, abandu ba Yehova erithimba  omwa kihugho kyosi bakalengekanaya okwa mibere ey’aha bali nuku sibathwikalhaye abandi.

Nibya, abandi baghalha bethu abawithe olhukwamirwa omwa kithunga banakothirye esyonderu. Nomwakine kithya, abandi baghalha bethu bangana thwamu erithendi kothya esyonderu.

Erithwalira haghuma, eriyireka kw’esyonderu kyanganaleka mughalha wethu iniathalethera Nyamuhanga y’olhukengerwa neryo ikyaleka iniabya kw’akahinira.—Abar. 15:1-3; 1 Tim. 3:2, 7.
