UZimu unamandla wokubulunga iliZwi lakhe nokulivikela bona lingasilaphazwa. Ekadeni nakwenziwa amakhophi walo atlolwe ngesandla, abakopululi bathatha iledere ngalinye lomtlolo ocwengileko njengombana linjalo akhenge bangezelele, batjhugulule namkha bakhuphe okhunye.

Kuneenkulungwana zamakhophi wemiTlolo eCwengileko yekadeni etlolwe ngesandla. Nangabe ikhophi yinye ihluke kancani, ingamadaniswa namanye amakhophi ukubona lapha kunomtjhapho khona. Bona ufunde okwengeziweko, qala isihloko esithi, “Has the Bible Been Changed or Tampered With?” ku-jw.org.
