Baitu obwire obumu n’osobora kwehurra ngu oine eby’okukora bingi rundi ojwahire muno, n’otandika kutekereza ngu tosobora kuhikiiriza obujunanizibwa bunu. Kiki eky’osobora kukora?

Tusemeriire kwetantara kuhondera entekereza z’abantu. Kakuba tuhondera entekereza z’abantu, nitusobora kuleka kuhondera endengo za Yahwe. (1 Kol. 3:19) “Amagezi agobusinge bunu” gatwekambisa kukurakuraniza okwegomba okw’omubiri. Bamu h’Abakristaayo ab’omu rubuga rwa Peregamo na Suatira bakatunga entekereza y’abantu abaali babetoroire, abaaramyaga ebisisani kandi abasiihani. Yesu akaha obuhabuzi Abakristaayo ab’omu bitebe binu bibiri habwokuba bakasagika engeso ezo ez’obusiihani. (Kus. 2:​14, 20) Kasumi kanu, abantu balengaho kutusindikiriza kusagika entekereza zaabo. Abanyabuzaale rundi abanywani nibasobora kukozesa enyikara eiturumu kutusindikiriza kucwa endengo za Yahwe. Ekyokurorraho, nibasobora kugamba ngu tikiri kibi kukora ebiturukugonza n’obukirukuba nikicwa endengo za Ruhanga kandi ngu Baibuli ekahwa ha mulembe. Obwire obumu nitusobora kutekereza ngu oburagirizi obututunga kuruga hali Yahwe tiburukwetegerezebwa kurungi. Nitusobora n’okwohebwa ‘kuhinguraho ebyahandiikirwe.’—1 Kol. 4:6. w23.07 16 ¶10-11
