(Mateus 23:8) Paulus okwa ti: “Mokuhola ovamwaxo filafaneni olukeno, mokufimanekafana pafaneni oshihopaelelwa.” (Ovaroma 12:10) Eendjovo odo otadi ulike kohole oyo tu hole ovamwatate kutya oyashili.

Peenhele da tya ngaho opo hatu longele Jehova pamwe novamwatate. Ndele otu na okuninga shihapu shihe fi ashike okwoongala pamwe pandjikilile. Paulus okwa li a ladipika Ovakriste Ovaheberi va kale ve holafane nokuningilafana ouwa.

Nokatu na ashike okushiva ovo tu wete kutya navo otava dulu oku tu pa sha komongula. (Lukas 10:42; 14:12-14) Osho sha fimanenena oshosho kutya katu na okweefa okuyakulafana omolwomalipyakidilo.
