Kungenzakala ukuthi abazalwane labo kwakungabanali, izithunywa ezazivela kuJohane loba ababonisi abahambelayo. Lanxa singeke sitsho okunengi ngabo esileqiniso lakho yikuthi babehamba ngezindaba ezinhle ngoba uJohane wabhala ukuthi abazalwane laba baphuma ngenxa yebizo lakhe. (3 Joh. 7) Kukhanya ibizo ayekhuluma ngalo ngelikaNkulunkulu ngoba kuvesi 6 wayekhulume ngaye. Ngakho abazalwane laba babengamalunga ebandla lobuKhristu futhi kwakufanele bamukelwe ngezandla zombili. UJohane laye wakugcizelela lokhu lapho esithi: “Kufanele sitshengise ukuphana ebantwini abanjalo ukuze sisebenzele iqiniso ndawonye.”​—3 Joh. 8.

Okokuqala, kumele sibabonge abazalwane abathembekileyo ababezimisele ukuhamba imango emide ukuze bazosifundisa iqiniso. Kodwa lamuhla ayisibo bonke abazalwane abahamba imango emide ukuze bayetshumayela izindaba ezinhle. Loba kunjalo singenelisa ukulingisela isibonelo sikaGayiyu ngokwamukela abahambeli labomkabo kanye lokubakhuthaza. Okunye esingakwenza yikusiza abafowethu labodadewethu ngalokho abakudingayo ikakhulu labo abancedisa ezindaweni ezilabamemezeli abalutshwana elizweni lakithi loba abancedisa kwamanye amazwe. Ngakho ‘kasizejwayezeni ukuphana.’​—Rom. 12:13; 1 Tim. 5:9, 10.
