UYesu wabiza umpostile (uPetros noAndreya; uFilipu noBhartolomeyu; uYakobi noYohane) ngokuthi “[ngooNyana, NW] Beendudumo” ngenxa yesimo sabo sengqondo sokungxama. [gt-XO isahl.
Jesus called the apostles (Peter and Andrew; Philip and Bartholomew; James and John) the “Sons of Thunder” because of their fiery disposition. [gt chap.

Umpostile uPawulos wabhala: “Zonke izinto ezabhalwa kwixesha langaphambili zabhalelwa ukuyalela thina, ukuze ngonyamezelo lwethu nangentuthuzelo yeZibhalo sibe nethemba.”—Roma 15:4.
The apostle Paul wrote: “All the things that were written aforetime were written for our instruction, that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.” —Romans 15:4.

(b) Liliphi icebiso elifike ngexesha umpostile uPawulos awalinika amaKristu aseYerusalem?
(b) What timely advice did the apostle Paul give to the Christians in Jerusalem?

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

(ISityhilelo 20:12, 13) Umpostile uYohane ubhala omnye umbono, ofumaneka kwiSityhilelo isahluko 21, oya kuzaliseka ebudeni boLawulo lukaYesu Kristu Lwewaka Leminyaka.
(Revelation 20:12, 13) The apostle John records another vision, found in Revelation chapter 21, which will be fulfilled during the Millennial Reign of Christ Jesus.

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

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.”
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.”

Xa umpostile uPawulos wayesentolongweni eRoma, ngokuthobeka wacela amanye amaKristu ukuba amthandazele.
When the apostle Paul became a prisoner in Rome, he humbly asked fellow Christians to pray in his behalf.

* (ISityhilelo 17:3-5) Ngokwendlela umpostile uYohane awathi wayiphawula ngayo, le ntlangano yokomfuziselo iye yahenyuza ngokomoya nabo bonke abalawuli bobupolitika bomhlaba.
* (Revelation 17:3-5) According to what the apostle John observed about her, this symbolic organization has committed spiritual fornication with all the political rulers of the earth.

UMPOSTILE UPAWULOS wayengumvakalisi onenzondelelo woBukumkani bukaThixo.
THE apostle Paul was a zealous proclaimer of God’s Kingdom.

(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.
(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.

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.
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.

Xa umpostile uPawulos wayebhalela amanye amakholwa aseRoma wabiza oorhulumente babantu ngokuba ‘ngamagunya awongamileyo.’
The apostle Paul, writing to fellow believers in Rome, spoke of such human governments as “the superior authorities.”

(Mateyu, isahluko 23; Luka 4:18) Ekubeni kwezo ndawo wayeshumayela kuzo kwakugquba unqulo lobuxoki nentanda-bulumko yamaGrike, umpostile uPawulos wacaphula isiprofeto sikaIsaya waza wasisebenzisa kumaKristu, awayefanele angabi nanto yakwenza nempembelelo engcolileyo yeBhabhiloni Enkulu.
(Matthew, chapter 23; Luke 4:18) Since false religion and Greek philosophy were rampant in the areas where he preached, the apostle Paul quoted Isaiah’s prophecy and applied it to Christians, who needed to keep free from the unclean influence of Babylon the Great.

Ewe, kuba noYesu wambiza uMtyholi ngokuthi “umlawuli wehlabathi,” yaye umpostile uPawulos wamchaza ‘njengothixo wale nkqubo yezinto.’—Yohane 14:30; 2 Korinte 4:4; Efese 6:12.
Yes, for Jesus himself called the Devil “the ruler of the world,” and the apostle Paul described him as “the god of this system of things.” —John 14:30; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 6:12.

(Filemon 13) Umpostile uPawulos ungumzekelo ophawulekayo woku.
(Philemon 13) The apostle Paul is a noteworthy example of this.

Kucacile ukuba isigidimi samaKristu sasasazwa ngokwaneleyo kangangokuba umpostile uPawulos wayenokuthi ‘sivelisa isiqhamo yaye sanda kulo lonke ihlabathi’—oko kukuthi, nakwezona nxalenye zikude zomhlaba zehlabathi langoko.—Kolose 1:6.
Certainly, the Christian message spread far enough so that the apostle Paul could say that it was “bearing fruit and increasing in all the world” —that is, to the far-flung reaches of the then-known world. —Colossians 1:6.

Ngokomzekelo, umpostile uPawulos wathi kuTimoti: “Ukuba siyaqhubeka sinyamezela, siya kulawula ndawonye njengookumkani.”
For example, the apostle Paul told Timothy: “If we go on enduring, we will also rule together as kings.”

Indlela Awayeqhuba Ngayo AmaKristu Enkulungwane Yokuqala: Oyena mKristu ubhale iincwadi zeBhayibhile ezininzi umpostile uPawulos, wayelihlonela njengoYesu iLizwi likaThixo.
How Early Christians Measured Up: The most prolific Christian Bible writer, the apostle Paul, shared Jesus’ respect for God’s Word.

Umpostile uYohane uyawuphendula loo mbuzo xa esithi: “UThixo uluthando.”
The apostle John answers that question when he says: “God is love.”

Ngaloo ndlela, umpostile kaYesu uYohane utshayelela ISityhilelo ngala mazwi: “Unoyolo lowo uwalesayo, kwanabo bawevayo amazwi aso isiprofeto esi, bazigcine izinto ezibhaliweyo kuso; kuba ixesha likufuphi.”—ISityhilelo 1:3.
Thus, Jesus’ apostle John introduces Revelation with the words: “Happy is he who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and who observe the things written in it; for the appointed time is near.” —Revelation 1:3.

Umpostile uYohane unikela le ngxelo: “Sabona othile ekhupha iidemon egameni lakho; samalela, ngokuba engalandelani nathi.”
The apostle John reports: “We saw a certain man expelling demons by the use of your name and we tried to prevent him, because he was not accompanying us.”

Ngaba umpostile uPawulos akazange alalanise xa wathi kwiSanhedrin: “NdingumFarisi”?
Did not the apostle Paul compromise his Christian faith when he said before the Sanhedrin: “I am a Pharisee”?

15 Umpostile uPetros wayalela abafazi abangamaKristu ukuba bazithobe kumadoda abo, “ukuze kuthi, nokuba kukho kuwo ongalithobeliyo ilizwi, azuzeke ngaphandle kwelizwi ngenxa yehambo yabafazi bawo, kuba eye angamangqina okuzibonela ehambo yenu enyulu ndawonye nentlonelo enzulu.”
15 The apostle Peter counsels Christian wives to be in subjection to their husbands, “so that if any are not obedient to the word, they may be won without a word through the conduct of their wives, because of having been eyewitnesses of your chaste conduct together with deep respect.”

Ngaba wena ngokobuqu unjengaloo maKristu umpostile uPetros awathi wawancoma kuba engazange abuyele kwakuloo “melelo wokuzibhubhisa”?
Are you personally like those Christians whom Peter was able to commend for not returning to this same “low sink of debauchery”?
