Ovanthu ovanyingi-nyingi ankho vakala nomphitilo yokuhakulwa moupanga wavo na Siovaa, opo vaendele mweetyi Huku ahanda.

Apopila umwe ovanthu vana okuti kononkhia mba Kilisitu navo ankho vena-po ombei. Mahi hakuti Petulu wetyipopia tupu okwapaka onkhongo, omokonda ankho utyii okuti, ‘ovipuka valinga-linga ankho okwehetyii’.

Ine ankho velivela avayumbu onthumbi mu Kilisitu, ankho ‘ku Siovaa makutundu omivo viapola vieeta okahi.’ (Ovil. 3:19) Noonthwe tuna umwe okulikwatehila atupopi umwe otyili, pokupopila ovanthu onthiki onene ya Siovaa ikahi nokuya. Namphila matupopi umwe otyili, mahi katupondola vala okuvepopia omapita aa okuvekandukila tyina twivisa.

Petulu wapopilile ovanthu okuti: “Oityi otyipuka etyi tyemuhuvisila unene ñgaa, otyo pahe mutala mwoonthwe ñgaa tyehena okuti etyi tyalingwa nomunthu, tyehena okuti waenda tupu okutila kwetu Huku?” (Ovil. 3:12) Petulu novatumwa ovakwavo, ovipuka aviho ankho valinga movilinga vya Huku, vevivila vala kononkhono mba Siovaa, ha kononkhono mbavo. Otyo umwe ankho vatila tyina vamalingi tyimwe, omunkhima watyo aveutwala ko Siovaa na Sesusi.

(Ovil. 3:21; Ovii. 110:1-3; Ndan. 4:16, 17) Etyi pakala, Kilisitu akalela komutwe ovilinga viokupindula-po efendelo lya Siovaa pano pohi. Mokonda yotyipuka otyo Kilisitu alinga, ovanthu ovanyingi-nyingi vekahi nokuya meongano lya Siovaa, vatuminwe na Kilisitu. Velilula ontheto onkhulu, ‘avelipake omunthu omupe walingilwa omu Huku ahandela.’ (Efe. 4:22-24) Ngeetyi omunthu una otyilema ahaendele kononkhono mbomunthu, notyilinga etyi tyokwivisa Ouhamba katyiya nokulingwa kononkhono mbovanthu, mahi okononkhono mba Huku.

Ankho palamba vala onosimanu mbumwe etyi eliyumbile onthumbi apopila Sesusi okuti: “Namphila ñgoo vakwetu aveho vakatoka apa tumona etyi molingwa, ame nii himatoko!” Mahi ngeetyi Sesusi apopile, Petulu atili owoma aanye epanga liae, omulongesi wae. Nongootyo, Petulu elilongesila kweetyi alingile tyapenga. — Mat. 26:33, 34, 69-75.
