IBhayibhili lisikhuthaza ukuthi sibe ngabantu abaphanayo njalo sikwenze ngenhliziyo yonke. Lithi ukwenza njalo kwenza ophayo lowamukelayo bathokoze. (IZaga 11:25; ULukha 6:38) UJesu wathi: “Ukupha kuyathokozisa kakhulu ukwedlula ukwamukela.”​—ImiSebenzi 20:35.

•  UNkulukulu uthokoziswa yikupha okunjani?

•  Ngokunjani ukupha okungamthokozisiyo uNkulunkulu?

•  Amavesi akhuluma ngokupha

 Uyathokoza nxa esibona sisipha sikhululekile. ILizwi lakhe lithi: “Ngamunye wenu kenze lokho akukhethileyo enhliziyweni yakhe, angenzi elensolo loba ebanjwa ngamandla ngoba uNkulunkulu uthanda umuntu opha ethokoza.”​—2 KwabaseKhorinte 9:7.

 Ukupha ngokusuka enhliziyweni “yindlela yokukhonza” ethokozisa uNkulunkulu. (UJakhobe 1:27) Umuntu opha ekhululekile uyabe esebenza loNkulunkulu ngoba nxa esipha abanye kufanana lokuthi upha uNkulunkulu. (IZaga 19:17) IBhayibhili lithi uNkulunkulu uzababusisa abantu abaphanayo.​—ULukha 14:12-14.

 Ngokwenziwa ngenhloso ezingaqondanga. Nanzi ezinye izibonelo:

•   Ukufuna ukubukwa ngabantu.​—UMathewu 6:2.

•   Ukuze uphiwe okuthile.​—ULukha 14:12-14.

•   Ukuze uthole ukuphila okungapheliyo.​—IHubo 49:6, 7.

 Ngokuzakhuthaza umkhuba ozondwa nguNkulunkulu. Ngokwesibonelo akuqondanga ukunika umuntu imali ukuze ayebheja kumbe athenge izidakamizwa loba utshwala ukuze adakwe. (1 KwabaseKhorinte 6:9, 10; 2 KwabaseKhorinte 7:1) Kanti njalo akumelanga unike umuntu isipho esingaba yimali loba okuthile yena engafuni ukusebenza.​—2 KwabaseThesalonika 3:10.

 Ukupha okuzakwenza uqakathekise abanye abantu ukwedlula imuli yakho. IBhayibhili lithi inhloko zezimuli zilomlandu wokunakekela izimuli zazo. (1 KuThimothi 5:8) Yikho akuqondanga ukuthi inhloko yemuli inike abanye izipho ngapha abemuli yayo bethwele nzima. UJesu wasola abantu ababengasananzi abazali babo besithi impahla abalayo ‘iyisipho esinikelwe kuNkulunkulu.’​—UMakho 7:9-13.
