Imibono yethu nendlela esenza ngayo ngokuphathelene nemingcwabo sikusekela ezimfundisweni zeBhayibheli, ezihlanganisa nalezi:

•   Kungokwemvelo ukuba lusizi lapho ushonelwe umuntu omthandayo. Abafundi bakaJesu baba lusizi lapho kufa abathandekayo babo. (Johane 11:33-35, 38; IzEnzo 8:2; 9:39) Ngakho, isikhathi somngcwabo asisibheki njengesikhathi semibuthano exokozelayo. (UmShumayeli 3:1, 4; 7:1-4) Kunalokho, sisibheka njengesikhathi sokubonisa uzwela.​—Roma 12:15.

•   Abafile abezwa lutho. Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sivela kusiphi isizinda noma ubuzwe, siyawagwema amasiko noma imikhuba esekelwe enkolelweni engqubuzana nemiBhalo yokuthi abafile bayezwa futhi banethonya kulabo abaphilayo. (UmShumayeli 9:5, 6, 10) Lokhu kuhlanganisa amasiko anjengemilindelo, imikhosi eyeqisayo yemingcwabo neyezinsuku zokukhumbula abafileyo, ukuhlabela abafileyo, ukukhuluma nokushweleza kwabafileyo namasiko okuzila. Sigwema wonke la masiko nemikhuba ngenxa yokulalela umyalo weBhayibheli othi: “Nizihlukanise, . . . futhi niyeke ukuthinta into engcolile.”—2 Korinte 6:17.

•   Likhona ithemba ngabafileyo. IBhayibheli lifundisa ukuthi kuyoba khona uvuko nesikhathi lapho ukufa kuyobe kungasekho. (IzEnzo 24:15; IsAmbulo 21:4) Leli themba lisisiza ukuba sigweme amasiko eqisayo okulila, njengoba nje lasiza amaKristu ekhulu lokuqala.​—1 Thesalonika 4:13.

•   IBhayibheli likhuthaza isizotha. (IzAga 11:2) Asikholelwa ukuthi umngcwabo kufanele ube ithuba “lokugabisa” ngezinga lomuntu lokuphila noma ngesimo sakhe sezomnotho. (1 Johane 2:16) Asenzi amalungiselelo omngcwabo eqisayo ahloselwe ngokuyinhloko ukujabulisa abantu noma anebhokisi lomngcwabo elibiza ngokwedlulele kanye nengqephu.

•   Asizami ukuphoqelela izinkolelo zethu ngokuphathelene nemingcwabo kwabanye. Kule ndaba silandela isimiso esithi: “Ngamunye wethu uyozilandisela kuNkulunkulu.” (Roma 14:12) Nokho, lapho sinikezwa ithuba, siyazama ukuchaza izinkolelo zethu “ngomoya omnene nangenhlonipho ejulile.”—1 Petru 3:15.

 Indawo: Uma umndeni ukhetha ukuba nomngcwabo, ungenzelwa kunoma iyiphi indawo ekhethwa umndeni, njengaseHholo LoMbuso, endaweni yabangcwabi, ekhaya, endaweni yokushiswa noma emathuneni.

 Inkonzo: Kuba nenkulumo yokududuza abashonelwe echaza lokho okushiwo iBhayibheli ngokufa nangethemba lovuko. (Johane 11:25; Roma 5:12; 2 Petru 3:13) Isimiso somngcwabo singase sikhumbuze izilaleli ngezimfanelo ezinhle zomufi, mhlawumbe siqokomise izinto ezithile ezikhuthazayo ezingafundwa yizilaleli esibonelweni sakhe sokwethembeka.—2 Samuweli 1:​17-​27.

 Kungase kuculwe ingoma esekelwe emiBhalweni. (Kolose 3:​16) Isimiso siphethwa ngomthandazo oduduzayo.​—Filipi 4:6, 7.

 Inkokhiso noma inkongozelo: Asikhokhisi ngezinkonzo zenkolo, kuhlanganise nemingcwabo, futhi asithathi nkongozelo emihlanganweni yethu.​—Mathewu 10:8

 Abangeza: Abangebona oFakazi bamukelekile ukuza emngcwabeni oseHholo LoMbuso. Njengakweminye imihlangano yethu, umphakathi uvumelekile ukuza enkonzweni yomngcwabo.

 UFakazi ngamunye uyazinqumela ngokuvumelana nonembeza wakhe oqeqeshwe ngeBhayibheli. (1 Thimothewu 1:19) Nokho, asihlanganyeli emikhosini engokwenkolo esiyibona ingqubuzana neBhayibheli.​—2 Korinte 6:​14-​17.
