(b) Liliphi icebiso elifike ngexesha umpostile uPawulos awalinika amaKristu aseYerusalem?

The Bible foretold that after the death of the apostles, wrong teachings and unchristian practices would slowly come into the Christian congregation.
IBhayibhile yaxela kusengaphambili ukuba emva kokufa kwabapostile, kwibandla lamaKristu kwakuya kungena ngokuthe ngcembe iimfundiso eziphosakeleyo nezenzo ezingezozabuKristu.

The apostle Paul warned: “You must realise that in the last days the times will be full of danger.
Umpostile uPawulos walumkisa: “Umele uqonde ukuba ngemihla yokugqibela amaxesha aya kuzaliswa ziingozi.

Speaking to his apostles, the initial ones of those to make up the new heavens that will govern the new earth, Jesus promised: “Truly I say to you, In the re-creation, when the Son of man sits down upon his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also yourselves sit upon twelve thrones.”
Ethetha nabapostile bakhe, abokuqala kwabo babumba amazulu amatsha aya kulawula umhlaba omtsha, uYesu wathembisa oku: “Inene, ndithi kuni, nina nindilandelayo, ekuzalweni okutsha, xa athe wahlala uNyana woMntu phezu kwetrone yozuko lwakhe, niya kuhlala nani phezu kweetrone ezilishumi elinambini.”

After two years in jail, the apostle Paul now stood before the ruler of the Jews, Herod Agrippa II.
Emva kweminyaka emibini ethothoza entolongweni, umpostile uPawulos wema phambi komlawuli wamaYuda, uHerode Agripa II.

The apostle Paul drew attention to the value of this provision, saying: “Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that excels all thought will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.”
Ethetha ngokubaluleka kweli lungiselelo, umpostile uPawulos wathi: “Musani ukuxhalela nantoni na, kodwa ezintweni zonke zaziseni izibongozo zenu kuThixo ngomthandazo nesikhungo nombulelo; yaye uxolo lukaThixo olungaphaya kokuqonda luya kuzilinda iintliziyo zenu namandla enu engqondo ngoKristu Yesu.”

(b) How did Jesus teach his apostles a lesson in humility?
(b) UYesu wabafundisa njani isifundo sokuthobeka abapostile bakhe?

(1 Corinthians 7:19; 10:25; Colossians 2:16, 17; Hebrews 10:1, 11-14) Jews—including the apostles—who became Christians were released from the obligation to keep laws that they were required to obey when they were under the Law covenant.
(1 Korinte 7:19; 10:25; Kolose 2:16, 17; Hebhere 10:1, 11-14) AmaYuda awaba ngamaKristu—kuquka nabapostile—ayengasanyanzelekanga ukuba agcine imithetho ekwakufuneka ayigcine ngoxa ayesephantsi komnqophiso woMthetho.

(Matthew 24:37-39) Similarly, the apostle Peter wrote that just as “the world of that time suffered destruction when it was deluged with water,” so also “the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men” looms over the present world.—2 Peter 3:5-7.
(Mateyu 24:37-39) Ngokufanayo, umpostile uPetros wabhala wathi “ihlabathi lelo xesha latshabalala xa lakhukuliswa ngamanzi,” ngoko ngokufanayo “imini yomgwebo neyentshabalalo yabantu abangenabuthixo” isongela ihlabathi lanamhlanje.—2 Petros 3:5-7.

She and other devout women had assembled for worship by a river when the apostle proclaimed the good news to them.
Yena nabanye abafazi abathanda unqulo babehlanganisene ngasemlanjeni beye kunqula xa lo mpostile wabashumayeza iindaba ezilungileyo.

Hence, the apostle goes on to counsel: “Above all things, take up the large shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the wicked one’s burning missiles.” —Ephesians 6:16.
Ngenxa yoko, umpostile uhlabela mgama aluleke athi: “Ngaphezu kwezo zinto zonke, qubulani ikhaka lokholo, lona nothi ngalo nibe nako ukuzicima zonke iintolo ezinomlilo zakhe ongendawo.”—Efese 6:16.

Like the apostle John and his friend Gaius, they resolutely hold to the truth and walk in it.

(3:11-18) He showed that God empowered the apostles to cure the lame man through His glorified Servant, Jesus.

The apostles were not cowards, but when they learned of a plot to stone them, they wisely left to preach in Lycaonia, a region of Asia Minor in southern Galatia.
Aba bapostile babengengomagwala, kodwa xa beva ngeyelenqe lokubaxuluba, ngobulumko bemka baya kushumayela eLikawoni, ummandla waseAsiya Mayina okumazantsi eGalati.

Thus, we can appreciate what the apostle meant when he said: “To God we are a sweet odor of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing; to the latter ones an odor issuing from death to death, to the former ones an odor issuing from life to life [“a vital fragrance that brings life,” The New English Bible; “the refreshing fragrance of life itself,” Phillips].” —2 Corinthians 2:15, 16.
Ngaloo ndlela, sinokukuqonda oko kwakuthethwa ngumpostile xa wathi: “Kuye uThixo silivumba elimnandi likaKristu, phakathi kwabasindiswayo naphakathi kwabatshabalalayo. Kwabanye silivumba lokufa elisa ekufeni; kwabanye silivumba lobomi elisa ebomini [“ivumba elibalulekileyo eliphilisayo,” The New English Bible; “ivumba elihlaziyayo lobomi ngokwabo,” Phillips].”—2 Korinte 2:15, 16.
