Ukucamngca kwanamhlanje: Umphefumlo omnye kwimizimba emibini
SasiseAthene, siqalela kwilizwe elinye, sahlulahlulwe, njengokuhamba komlambo, saba yimimandla eyahlukahlukeneyo ngenxa yomnqweno wokufunda, saza sabuyelana kwakhona, ngokungathi kungesivumelwano, kodwa eneneni ngotyekelo lobuthixo.
Emva koko andizange ndizive ndizaliswe kukuhlonela uBasil wam omkhulu ngenxa yobunzulu bamasiko akhe kunye nokukhula nobulumko beentetho zakhe, ndaye ndakhuthaza nabanye ababengekamazi ukuba benze okufanayo. Noko ke, abaninzi babesele bemhlonela kakhulu, ekubeni bemazi yaye bemmamele ngaphambili.
Kwalandela ntoni? Ukuba phantse nguye yedwa, phakathi kwabo bonke ababeze kufunda eAthene, wayegqalwa njengongekho kucwangco, ekubeni ezuze uzuko olwambeka ngaphezu kwabafundi abaqhelekileyo. Esi sisiqalo sobuhlobo bethu; kungoko inkuthazo kulwalamano lwethu olusondeleyo; ngoko saziva sibanjwe kuthando omnye komnye.
Xa, ekuhambeni kwexesha, savakalisa iinjongo zethu omnye komnye kwaye siqonda ukuba uthando lobulumko yinto esasiyifuna sobabini, ngoko sobabini saba ngabanye: amaqabane, iindwendwe, abazalwana. Sinqwenela okulungileyo okufanayo kwaye yonke imihla sihlakulela inkolelo yethu efanayo ngokunyanisekileyo nangokusondeleyo.
Sasiqhutywa lixhala elifanayo lokwazi, into ethi ngaphezu kwayo yonke into evuselela umona; kodwa kwakungekho mona phakathi kwethu, endaweni yoko ukulinganisa kwakuxatyiswa. Olu lugqatso lwethu: ingenguye owaba ngowokuqala;
Kwaba ngathi sinomphefumlo omnye emizimbeni emibini. Ukuba ngokuqinisekileyo akufuneki sibakholelwe abo bathi yonke into ikuwo wonke umntu, kufuneka sikholwe ngaphandle kokuthandabuza, kuba enye yayikwenye kwaye ikunye.
Owona msebenzi kunye nokulangazelela kwethu sobabini yayibubuhle, kwaye siphila ngokuzingisileyo kumathemba ekamva kwaye siziphatha ngokungathi singabathinjwa kweli hlabathi, nangaphambi kokuba sibushiye obu bomi bangoku. Ibinjalo iphupha lethu. Yiyo loo nto sakhokelela ubomi bethu kunye nokuziphatha kwethu endleleni yemithetho kaThixo kwaye sakhuthazana ukuba sithande isidima. Kwaye masingatyholwa ngokuzicingela ukuba ndithi sasiqhelekile kwaye silawula ukwahlula okulungileyo kokubi.
Kwaye ngelixa abanye befumana izibizo zabo kubazali babo, okanye bazifumane ngokwabo kwimisebenzi kunye nezenzo zobomi babo, kuthi yayiyinyani enkulu kunye newonga elikhulu ukuba kunye nokuzibiza ngokuba singamaKristu.
