Uyini umongo wabaseFiliphi 4?
Incwadi yabaseFilipi yincwadi yomphostoli uPawulu ayibhalela ibandla laseFilipi ukuthi babelane nabo ngokuhlakanipha nesikhuthazo sokuphila ngokukholwa kwabo kuKristu futhi bahlale beqinile lapho kungenzeka izingxabano nokushushiswa.
Khumbula ukuthi uma kukhulunywa ngosizi ngokubizwa kwakho, uPaul wayenguchwepheshe ngempela. Wakhuthazelela ukushushiswa okunzima ngenxa yokholo lwakhe kuKristu nokubiza inkonzo, ngakho-ke iseluleko sakhe sokuthi ungajabula kanjani ngesikhathi sokulingwa sibonakala kuwumqondo omuhle.

Kusho ukuthini 'ukujabula eNkosini njalo'?
Ukujabula, ngokwesichazamazwi sikaMerriam Webster, ngukuthi "uzinikeze wena" noma "uzwe injabulo noma injabulo enkulu," ube uthokozela izindlela zokuba "ube noma ube nefa".
