Comunidade
A comunidade cristã é essencial para o crescimento da fé. A Bíblia ensina que fomos criados para viver em comunhão — edificando-nos, encorajando-nos e servindo uns aos outros.
Viver em unidade
Os que creram eram um coração e uma alma. A comunidade primitiva partilhava tudo e vivia em harmonia e alegria.
Kutama Mbuti Bhaulongo
Nkumbi gowe gwa bhaakulupalila pugwaaliji na ntima gumo na ng’aniyo yabhonji imope. Jwakwapi akwetele shindu shakwe, ikabheje bhatendaga gabhana indu yowe ibhakwetenje.
Bhene bhowebho gubhapundilenje kujiganywa na mitume, akuno bhalitamangana shiulongo na lyanganga shalya pamo na juga Nnungu.
Gubhapundilenje kuimana kila lyubha Nliekalu. Bhatendaga imana mmajumba gabhonji nilyanganga shalya nyumba na nyumba kwa mitima ja kwiitimalika. Bhatendaga kwaakuyanga a Nnungu na pingwanga na bhandu bhowe. Kila lyubha Bhakulungwa bhatendaga jenjesheya bhandu bhatapulwangaga.
Bhowe bhatendaga imananga kwa ntima gumo mobha gowe nkujuga Nnungu, bhashinkupagwanga bhanabhakongwe na a Malia anyinabhabho a Yeshu na ashaapwabho.
Bhai, a Petili bhali nnigelesha, bhandunji bha a Nnungu gubhatumbililenje kwaajuga a Nnungu.
Pabha popowe pubhaimananga bhandu bhabhlili eu bhatatu kwa ligongo lyangu nne, nne mbali pamo na bhanganyabho."
Edificação mútua
Vivam em harmonia uns com os outros. Não haja divisões entre vós. A comunidade cresce quando cada membro contribui.
Kugabhanyika Nnikanisha
Ashaalongo, ngunakunshondelesheyanga kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa bhetu a Yeshu Kilishitu kuti, gunkubheleketanga gabhe gamo, kunapagwe kugabhanyika munkumbi gwenunji, ikabhe nkolanje ng’aniyo imo na ndumbililo imo.
Pabha uwe tubhaga Bhayaudi eu Bhagiliki eu bhatumwa eu bhangwana, tubhowe tushibhatishwa naka Mbumu jumo pejo, nkupinga tubhe shiilu shimo, na tubhowe tushipegwa Mbumu jumo pejo.
Pabha, malinga nshiilu ishipagwa ibhalo yaigwinji, na yowe ikatenda liengo limo, nneyo peyo na uwe nkali tuli tubhabhagwinji, tushibha shiilu shimo nkulundana na a Kilishitu na shibhalo sha kila mundu shishilundana na shibhalo shika nnjakwe.
Ntamangane pamo kwa ulele. Nnaipunanje, ikabheje mwaapinganje nkali bhandu bha nyegala. Nnaipunilanje lunda lwenunji.
Nnaukumulananje
Mumposhelanje Nkilishitu akaakulupalila ukoto, nnaiibhukanje nkutaukangana ga ng’aniyo yakwe.
A Nnungu bhakutupa kwiipililila na tagwa ntima bhampanganje shikono, nkolanje ntima gumo nkwaakagula a Kilishitu Yeshu,
Malajilo ga Mpelebhesheyo
Ashaalongo ajangunji, ngunakunshondelesheyanga mwiiteiganje na bhene bhakumbuyanga ya malekano nikwaabhulayanga bhananji kulebha, nileka majiganyo gunnjigenywenje. Mwiepuyanje na bhene bhandunjibho,
Amor e compromisso
Não deixemos de congregar. O vínculo perfeito é o amor — ele une a comunidade e produz frutos que duram.
Tulolane nitagana ntima twaashayene, na punda pingana, na tenda ya mmbone. Tunaleshe nkubho gwa imana pamo gula, malinga shibhaatendanga bhananji. Ikabheje tunapinjikwa jangutana, pabha lyubha lya ukumu ja Bhakulungwa linabhandishila.
Kupunda gene gowego, ntamangananje nkupingana, pabha kupingana kunalundanya indu yowe nibha shindu shimo sha nng’ilimila.
Nntumbilanje kugoya shilongani shika Mbumu na lundana kwa ulele.
Kupotekwa ga Tenda ya Uguja
Kungai nguti, nnapinjikwanga nkolanje ntima gumo na ng’aniyo imo na mpingane shiulongo na mwiitimalikanje
Bhakilishitu ajangunji, ibhaga a Nnungu bhashinkutupinga nneyo, bhai, numbe uwe tunapinjikwa kupingana.
Ikabheje tutamaga nshilangaya malinga Bhenebho shibhali nshilangaya, bhai uwe tunabha pamo, na minyai ja a Kilishitu, jinakututakaya yambi yetu yowe.
Kwa nneyo shakwa shakuti nne na Nnyaudi eu Ngiliki eu ntumwa eu nngabha ntumwa wala jwannume eu jwankongwe, pabha mmowenji mmamo kwa a Yeshu Kilishitu. Bhai monaga mmanganyanji mmandunji bha a Kilishitu, nshibhanganga mmalubheleko lwa a Bhulaimu, kwa nneyo shimposhelanje malinga miadi jibhalugwile a Nnungu."
Mwaalelanje bhanabhakongwe bhalinginji bhashitenga bha kweli.
Kweli ngunakummalanjilanga. Akumposhela mundu jojowe junintumile, anaamboshela nne, na amboshela nne, anakwaaposhela bhandumile bhala."
