Divule dine Bible wingidijanga kishima kya Kingidiki stauros pa kwisambila pa kintu kyāipailwe’ko Yesu.

Kadi Bible wingidijanga ne kishima kya Kingidiki xylon mu buluji bumo na stauros. (Bilongwa 5:30; 1 Petelo 2:24) Kino kishima kishintulula amba “lubao,” “mukabo,” “mulamba,” nansha “mutyi.” b O mwanda The Companion Bible ufula ku kunena’mba: “I kutupu kintu nansha kimo mu Kingidiki kya mu Kipwanino Kipya kileta’tu nansha mulangwe wa bipindi bibidi bya mukabo.”
