"Abayishumi nambili babenaye nabanye besifazane"
Ngisho nakumongo weSonto lasendulo ukuba khona kwabesifazane akulutho neze. (…) Imibhalo ebanzi yesithunzi kanye nendima yezenkolo yabesifazane ingatholakala ku-Saint Paul. Uqala esimisweni esiyisisekelo, okuya ngaso labo ababhapathiziwe hhayi kuphela ukuthi "akusekho umJuda noma umGrikhi, akusekho sigqila noma okhululekile", kepha futhi "akekho owesilisa noma owesifazane". Isizathu ukuthi "sonke simunye kuKristu Jesu" (Gal 3,28: 1), okusho ukuthi, sonke sihlangene ngesithunzi esisodwa esiyisisekelo, yize ngamunye enemisebenzi ethile (cf. 12,27 Cor 30: 1-11,5). UMpostoli uyavuma njengokujwayelekile ukuthi emphakathini wamaKrestu abesifazane "bangaprofetha" (XNUMX Cor XNUMX: XNUMX), okungukuthi, bakhulume ngokusobala ngaphansi kwethonya likaMoya, uma nje lokhu kungokwakha umphakathi futhi kwenziwe ngendlela ehloniphekile. (...)
Sesivele sihlangabezane nomuntu kaPriska noma uPrisila, unkosikazi ka-Akwila, okukhulunywa ngaye ezimangalisweni ezimbili ngaphambi komyeni wakhe (bheka Izenzo 18,18; Rm 16,3): bobabili bafaneleke ngokusobala ngo UPaul "njengababambisene naye" (Rm 16,3) ... Kuyadingeka futhi ukuthi uqaphele, isibonelo, ukuthi incwadi emfushane eya kuFilemoni empeleni ibhekiswe kuPaul nakowesifazane ogama lakhe lingu "Affia" (cf. Fm 2) ... Emphakathini eKolose kwakudingeka athathe indawo evelele; Kunoma ikuphi, nguyena kuphela owesifazane okukhulunywe ngaye nguPaolo phakathi kwabangezwe enye yezincwadi zakhe. Kwenye indawo uMphostoli ubalula “uFebe” othile, ofaneleke njengama-diákonos eSonto LaseCencre… (cf. Rom 16,1: 2-16,6.12). Yize isihloko ngaleso sikhathi singenayo inani elithile lenkonzo lohlobo oluthile lokuzimela, siveza umsebenzi wangempela walona wesifazane esivuna lowo mphakathi wamaKrestu ... Esimweni esifanayo sezincwadi uMphostoli uyakhumbula amanye amagama abesifazane: uMaria othile, bese kuthi uTrifena, uTrifosa noPerside «othandekayo», ngaphezu kukaJulia (Rm 12a.15b.4,2). (...) ESontweni LaseFiliphi lapho-ke abesifazane ababili ababizwa ngokuthi "u-Evodiya no-Syntic" kwakudingeka bagqame (Phil XNUMX: XNUMX): Ukukhuluma kukaPawulu ngokuvumelana kutjengisa ukuthi laba besifazane ababili benza umsebenzi obalulekile kulowo mphakathi . Ngokuyisisekelo, umlando wobuKrestu ubuzoba nentuthuko ehluke kakhulu ukube bekungekhona ukunikela ngomusa kwabesifazane abaningi.
