 Okungethusa abantu abaningi ukuthi umzwangedwa awuhlaseli nje kuphela abantu abadala noma abantu abaphila bodwa, kodwa uhlasela ngisho nabantu abasha, abaphile saka, abaphumelelayo, nabashadile. Ukuba unkom’ idla yodwa nokuba nomzwangedwa kungadala umonakalo omkhulu empilweni yomuntu.

•   UDkt. Vivek Murthy, ongudokotela ohlinzayo e-U.S. uthi, “Abanye bacabanga ukuthi umzwangedwa uwumuzwa nje ongemuhle, kodwa akunjalo.” Uyaqhubeka: “Umonakalo ongadalwa umzangedwa ulingana nomonakalo ongadalwa ukubhema ogwayi abangu-15 ngosuku.”

 UMdali wethu akafuni sibulawe umzwangedwa. Selokhu kwathi nhlo, uNkulunkulu ubelokhu efuna ukuthi abantu bajabule, babe nabangani ababajabulisayo.

 UNkulunkulu ufuna sibe nobungani naye. Uthembisa ukuthi uzosondela kithi uma senza imizamo yokusondela kuye.​—Jakobe 4:8.
