3. (a) Mbukkale nzi ibwakazikulibonya mumazuba aamwaapostolo Paulo? (b) Ncinzi Jehova ncaakatondezya twabona mbwaakeendelezya buzangi bumwi bwakacitika myaanda yamyaka musyule?
3 Bukkale buli boobu bwakazikucitika nokwakainda myaka iili 1,500 mumazuba aamwaapostolo Paulo. Banakristo bamwi bakatalika kutobela njiisyo zyakubeja; nokuba boobo, bakazumanana kuyanzana ambungano.

Tacili kabotu pe kubayeeyela bumbi bakwesu abacizyi kakutakwe akaambo kaya koomoonga. (Amubale Baloma 14:10-12; 1 Bakolinto 13:7.)
