Futhi, bayakholelwa ukuthi wonke amazwi aseBhayibhelini yiwo wodwa amazwi uNkulunkulu awakhuluma, futhi nokuthi wonke ashiwo nguNkulunkulu.

Lokhu kuyincazelo eyiphutha yabantu, futhi ayivumelani namaqiniso. Empeleni, ngaphandle kwezincwadi zokuphrofetha, iningi lokubhalwe eBhayibhelini lingumlando nje. Ezinye zezincwadi zeTestamente Elisha zivela kulokho abantu abadlule kukho mathupha, futhi ezinye zivela ekukhanyiselweni nguMoya oNgcwele; izincwadi zikaPawulu, isibonelo, zavela emsebenzini womuntu, zabe zingumphumela wokukhanyiselwa nguMoya oNgcwele, futhi zabe zibhalelwe amabandla, zingamazwi okuyala nokukhuthaza abazalwane emabandleni. Kwabe kungewona amazwi ayekhulunywe nguMoya oNgcwele—uPawulu wayengeke akhulumele uMoya oNgcwele, futhi wabe engeyena umprofethi, kungasaphathwa okokubona imibono.

Zazibhalelwe bonke abazalwane eNkosini, futhi zabe zingezokwenza ukuthi abazalwane emabandleni ngaleso sikhathi ukuba balandele izeluleko zakhe nokuthi bagcine zonke izindlela zeNkosi uJesu. Akazange uPawulu athi, noma kumabandla angaleso sikhathi noma angesikhathi esizayo, bonke kufanele badle futhi baphuze izinto kuye, futhi akazange athi wonke amazwi akhe avele kuNkulunkulu. Ngokuhambisana nezimo ebandleni ngaleso sikhathi, wamane waxoxisana nabazalwane, futhi wabayala, wagqugquzela ukholo kubo; futhi wayemane ashumayele noma akhumbuze abantu futhi abayale. Amazwi akhe ayesukela emthwalweni wakhe, futhi wayesekela abantu ngala mazwi.

Konke akusho okwabe kwakha futhi kukuhle kubantu kwakulungile, kodwa kwabe kungamele amazwi oMoya oNgcwele, futhi wayengeke amele uNkulunkulu. Kungukuqonda okuyiphutha ngokumangalisayo, nokuhlambalaza okukhulu kakhulu, ukuthi abantu bathathe imibhalo yalokho umuntu adlule kukho nezincwadi zomuntu njengamazwi akhulunywa nguMoya oNgcwele emabandleni!

Ingabe amazwi kaNkulunkulu ayengakhulunywa ngumuntu ngokunganaki? Wayengamkhulumela kanjani uNkulunkulu umuntu? Ngakho, wena uthini—kungenzeka yini ukuthi izincwadi azibhalela amabandla zazingcoliswe yimibono yakhe ngokwakhe? Zazingeke kanjani zingangcoliswa imibono yobuntu?

Isibonelo, uPawulu wabhalela izincwadi amabandla aseGalathiya ezazinombono othile, futhi uPetru wabhala enye, nokho eyayinombono ohlukile. Yiziphi ezazivela eMoyeni oNgcwele? Akekho ongasho ngokuqinisekile. Ngakho, kungathiwa kuphela zombili zazinomthwalo ngamabandla, kepha izincwadi zawo zibonisa izinga lawo, zibonisa ukuhlinzeka nokusekela kwazo abazalwane, kanye nomthwalo mayelana namabandla, futhi zibonisa umsebenzi womuntu; zazingezona ezoMoya oNgcwele ngokuphelele.

Izincwadi zikaPawulu kanye nezinye izincwadi zeTestamente Elisha zingalinganiswa nomlando walabo ababenegalelo elikhulu kwezikamoya kamuva nje. Zisezingeni elifanayo nezincwadi zikaWatchman Nee noma lokho uLawrence adlula kukho, njalo njalo. Ukuthi nje izincwadi zalabo bakamuva ababenegalelo elikhulu kwezikamoya, aziqoqelwanga eTestamenteni Elisha, kepha ingqikithi yala bantu iyafana: Babengabantu ababesetshenziswa uMoya oNgcwele ngesikhathi esithile, futhi babengeke bamele uNkulunkulu ngqo.
