Kuratidzira kunzvimbo yeSpire nekupinduka panzvimbo yeAugusburg kwakaparura kukunda kweRuvandudzo muGermany, kwakateverwa nemakore ekurwisana pamwe nedima munyaya dzekunamata. Kusavapamwe kwevateveri veRuvandudzo nekurwiswa nevabati vesimba kwakapa chiratidzo chekuparara kwemasangano akapandukira Roma. Zviuru nezviuru zvevanhu zvakasimbisa kutenda kwavo neropa ravo, vakaurairwa kutenda kwavo. Hondo munyika ikavamo vamwe vateveri veRuvandudzo vakakundikana kumirira zvokwadi; Mambo mukuru akaita nhapwa vanakomana vaitevera shanduko yevekutenda kutsva muguta rimwe narimwe, asi mukuita semukundi ndiye akazokundwa. Akaona vaaida kuparadza vachipukunyuka mumaoko ake, akamanikidzwa kugashira dzidziso yeRumutsiridzo yaakanga azvimisira kurwisa kweupenyu hwese. Mambo uyu akange amisikidza umambo hwake, upfumi pamwe neupenyu hwake kuparadza dzidziso dzeRuvandudzo dzaaiti ndedzenhema. Akaona varwi vake vachiparadzwa muhondo, upfumi hwake huchipera,nyika dzaaitungamira dzichimukirwa, ukuwo vatendi vaaida kuparadza vachiwedzera simba nekukura. Charles V akanga achirwisana neWamasimbaose. Mwari vakange vati, “Ngapave nechiedza”asi embara vaida kuti rima rirambe rakapofomadza nyika. Zvaaida zvakakudikana, asati akura zvakanyanya, apedzwa nehondo akaramwa chigaro akandovanda, akarega kuvamutungamiri.KK 138.1

Munyika yeSwitzerland sezvazvaiva muGermany yakange iringuva yakaoma zvikuru kuneve Ruvandudzo. Kunyange zvazvo zvizvarwa zvizhinji zvemuSwitzerland zvakange zvagashira kutenda kweshanduko vamwe vakaramba vakabatirira padzidziso dzechiRoma. Kutambudzwa kwevakange vasarudza kutevera chokwadi kwakamutsa hondo pakati pavanhu. Zwingli nevamwe vazhinji vakange vari vateveri veShanduko vakaurawa pamunda weCappel. Oecolampadius akundwa nematambudziko aya akabva ashaikawo. Roma yakakunda uye munzvimbo zhinji yakange yavakugashirika zvakare padzidziso dzayo. Asi Uyo Anenjere dzisingazikanwi kubvira pakusingaperi akange asina kusiya basa kana kurasa vari vake. Ruoko Rwake rwuchaunza dzikinuro kwavari. Mwari vakange vamutsa vamwe vabati vachaendesa mberi basa reshanduko.KK 138.2

MuFrance zita ra Martin Luther risati raizikanwa semuunzi weshanduko, chiedza chakange chavamo kuburikidza nemudzidzisi aive muzvinafundo paChikoro chikuru cheParis muFrance ainzi Lefevre. Murume uyu ndiye akatanga kuwana chiedza, akanga akaperera kwazvo pachitendero cheRoma uye ari mupirisita akatendeka. Mukuita tsvakurudzo pamusoro penhoroondo yekare akakwezvwa neBhaibheri ndokutanga kuridzidzisa kuvadzidzi paChikoro ichi.KK 138.3

Lefevre akange ari murumbidzi wavatsvene uye akange azvipira kunyora nekuita tsvakurudzo pamusoro pevatsvene nevakafira chitendero sekutaurwa kwazvaiitwa nekereke mumabhuku anonyorwa vanofanira kunamata. Basa iri raive rakaoma kwazvo asi akange achiratidza kubudirira pakuriita, akatanga kuverenga Bhaibheri anepfungwa dzekuwedzera ruzivo pamusoro petsvakurudzo dzaaiita. MuBhaibheri zvedi akatanga kuwona vatsvene vachizarurwa asi kwete sezvaitaurwa munhoroondo dzeRoma. Mafashama echiedza chitsvene akapinda munjere dzake. Mukushamisika nekuzvishora akarasa pfungwa dzaaive nadzo dzekutsvaka nhoroondo ndokutanga kuzvipira kuzere mukudzidza Bhaibheri. Chokwadi chinokosha chaakawana muBhaibheri akatanga kuchidzidzisa. KK 138.4

Mugore ra 1512, Luther naZwingli vasati vatanga basa reRuvandudzo, Lefevre akanyora kuti “NdiMwari unotipa kururama, kuburikidza nekutenda, kunouya nenyasha dzinopa kururamiswa kuupenyu husingaperi”--Wylie, b. 13, ch. 1. Achitarisa chakavanzika cherudzikinuro anoti: “Tsinhaniso inoshamisa isingatsananguriki,-- Asina chaakatadza anopiwa mhosva, anechaakatadza osunungurwa; zvikomborero zvotakudzwa kutuka, zvakatukwa zvotakudzwa zvikomborero; Upenyu hunofa, mufi worarama; Hutsvene hoputirwa nerima, uyo asina chaanoziva kunze kwenyongano opfekedzwa nguvo yekubwinya.”-- D'Aubigne, London ed., b. 12, ch. 2. KK 139.1

Aidzidzisa kuti Ruponeso runobva kunaMwari oga uye kuteerera ibasa remunhu.” Kana urinhengo yechechi yaKristu, urinhengo yemuviri Wake, kana uri wemuviri wake uzere nechimiro cheutsvene. . . dai vanhu vainzwisisa izvi mifungo yavo ingadai yakachena uye kurarama kwavo kurikutsvene. . . .”-Ibid., b. 12, ch. 2. {GC 213.1}KK 139.2

Pakati pevadzidzi vaidzidziswa naLefevre pakange pane vaiterera nemazvo shoko raaitaura uye vakange vazvipira kupfuurira mberi nekuparidza chokwadi kana mudzidzisi wavo anyaradzwa. Mumwe wevakazvipira kuenda mberi nekuparidza Chokwadi ainzi William Farel. Akange arimwana akarerwa nekukurira mudzidziso dzechiRoma nevabereki vakanga vakaperera padzidziso dzekereke, saPauro aigona kuzvifananidza naye pashoko rinoti “ndaiva muFarise, nedzidziso yekupira kwedu yakaisvo-rurama.” Mabasa 26:5. Aiva muRoma akakwana akaperera zvekuda kuparadza aninani anopikisa kereke. “Meno angu aibvunda mumukanwa sebere ratsamwa kana ndainzwa munhu anotaura nekuzvidza Papa” anodaro Farel achitarisa muraramire wake wekare. -Wylie, b. 13, ch. 2. Aive akaperera pakupa rumbidzo kuvatsvene, achifamba naLefvre mumakereke emuParis, achinamata paaritari nekukoshesa nzvimbo dzaive tsvene. Zvose izvi hazvina kumupa kuzorora pamweya. Pfungwa yekuziva kuti ndirimutadzi yakaramba irimaari uye haaina kubviswa kunyange aitevedzera zvinotaurwa nekereke. Senzwi rinobva kudenga akaterera mashoko emuvandudzi: “Ruponeso rwunouya nenyasha,“Asinamhosva anotongwa, anemhosva anosunungurwa.” “Muchinjikwa waKristu woga ndiwo unozarura masuwo edenga nekupfiga masuwo egehena.” --Ibid., b. 13, ch. 2.KK 139.3

Farel akagamuchira chokwadi ichi nemufaro. SaPauro akatendeuka kubva kudzidziso nemuraramiro netsika dzekare achiuya kurusununguko rwekuva mwana waMwari. “Panzvimbo yekuva nemweya wehumhondi sebere rinehasha,” adzoka anoti, “ndave munyoro segwayana, moyo wabva pana Papa ndikaupa Jesu Kristu.”--D'Aubigne, b. 12, ch. 3. {GC 214.1}KK 139.4

Lefevre akaenderera mberi nekuparidza kuvadzidzi pachikoro, mumwe wevadzidzi vake ainzi Farel, mutendi akange akaperera panaKristu sezvaaiva kuna Papa, akaenda neshoko rezvokwadi pajekerere, kuruzhinji rwavanhu. Munyarikani mukereke bishop wenzvimbo yeMeaux akavamuteveri wezvokwadi. Vadzidzisi vemukurumbira vakabatirawo moto wekuparidzira vhangeri yechokwadi vazhinji vanosanganisira varimi, vashandi vemabasa epasi kusvikira kuimba yeumambo vakava vateveri veRuvandudzo. Mukunda wamambo ainzi Francis 1 akavawo muteveri weRuvandudzo, iye Francis nemudzimai vakataridza kufarira dzidziso kwekanguva asi havana kuzozvipira kutevera kutenda kutsva, vateveri veRuvandudzo vakaramba vachitarisira kuti mhuri iyi yeumambo ichazvipira kutevera vhangeri rimwe zuva, asi shuviro iyi haina kuzadzikiswa. Kutambudzwa nekuuraiwa zvakanga zvakamirira vateveri vaKristu, izvi zvakaratidzwa kwavari munyasha dzaMwari. Pakambova nenguva yekudzikama nerunyararo kuti zvisimbise vateveri vaJesu nekuvagadzirira kutivagone kuve nesimba pakuedzwa kukuru kwaiva mberi. Munguva yerunyararo iyoyo shanduko yakapararira. Bishopu weMeaux akashanda pakuparidza pakereke napakufundisa vakuru vekereke nevanhu zvokwadi. Mapirisita akange anehunhu hwakaipa akavabvisa akaisa vaive vakafunda vachiita zvakanaka. Bishopi uyu aida kuti Shoko risvike mudunhu make vanhu vavenaro, izvi zvakazadzikiswa. Lefevre akashanda pakushandura Testamente itsva ichiisa mumutauro wevanhu, Bhaibheri rainzi French New Testament rikaparurwa paMeaux panguva imwechetewo yakaparurwa Bhaibheri raLuther rechiGerimani paWittenberg. Bishopu akaita zvose zvaaigona kuti Bhaibheri iri risvike kumasangano, nenguva shoma varimi nevanhu vepasi vakange vave neBhaibheri mudzimba dzavo. {GC 214.3}KK 140.1

Rufaro rwevafambi vanopanga mvura vaona chitubu ndizvo zvingafananidzwa nekugashirwa kwakaitwa shoko reBhaibhiri.Vabati vemumunda nevemapazi akasiyana-siyana vaishanda vachikurukura pamusoro pamashoko akanaka ezvokwadi yemuBhaibheri. Munguva dzamanheru vakange vasingachaendi kumafaro asi vaiungana mudzimba kuzoverenga Bhaibheri, kunamata pamwe nekupa mbiri kunaMwari. Shanduko huru mumararamiro ikavapo munharaunda.Vanhu vepasi, varimi nevasina kufunda, nyasha dzaMwari dzakararamika mavari. Mukuzvininipisa, murudo, muhutsvene vakamira sezvapupu zvinoitwa nevhangeri kune vanorigashira mukuperera. {GC 215.1} KK 140.2

Mwenje weshoko wakatungidzwa paMeaux wakasvika kure. Zuva rimwe narimwe vaitendeuka vaiwedzera.Uturu hwehutungamiri (monks) hwakambomiswa namambo kwekanguva asi vatungamiri vana Papa vakazokururira pakurwisa vatendi.Hondo yakachizotanga.Bishopi weMeaux akamanikidzwa kuti asarudze pakati pekufa nemoto kana kutuka nekuzvidza kutenda kwaakange agashira,iye akasarudza nzira irinyore akatiza marwadzo asi vateveri veRifomesheni vakaramba vakamira panaMwari.Vazhinji vakapupurira kutenda kwavo mumoto. Hushingi nekuramba vamire vakatarisana nerufu nekuzvininipisa kwaKristu yakava mharidzo kuzviuru nezviuru zvavanhu vakange vasina kuwana zvokwadi munguva yerunyararo.KK 140.3

Vakange vari varombo nevakazvininipisa vakaramba varipana Kristu chete panguva dzekutambudzika, kusekwa nekuurawa. Mumuzinda wamambo makange munevakazvipira kutevera zvokwadi vaikoshesa bhaibheri kudarika rukudzo rwavaiwana chero upfumi hwavo neupenyu. Vamwe varindi vamambo vaive vachigashira zvokwadi kudarika mabishopi. Loise de Berquin akange akazvarwa muimba yeupfumi. Aive achishandira pamuzinda wamambo ane hushingi, aive muverengi anehunhu hwakanaka asina chaanopomerwa. Akange ari muteveri akatendeka webumbiro raana Papa, achitevedzera misa nedzidziso dzacho pakuperera kwake. Berquine aivenga dzidziso dzaLuther asi sezvakaitika kuvazhinji akatungamirirwa kuBhaibheri akashamisika kudzidza kuti dzidziso dzeRoma hadzina tsigiso reshoko raMwari asi dzaLuther ndodzirimuBhaibheri--Wylie, b. 13, ch. 9.KK 140.4

Kubvira nguva iyi akazvipira zvizere pakuita zvinoda vhangeri. “Aive mufundi kudarika vachenjeri vemuFrance, uchenjeri nekugona kutaura, ushingi, kukurudzira uye rukudzo rwaaipiwa nevazhinji pamuzinda wamambo zvakaita kuti adiwe namambo. Vazhinji vakaona paari munhu achaunza shanduko munyika mavo. Beza anoti: “Berquin angadai akava Luther wechipiri dai akawana rutsigiro kubva kuna Francis 1.” “Akasvoipa kudarika Luther,” vakadaidzira mapirisita.-Ibid., b. 13, ch. 9. Aityiwa zvakanyanya nemaRoma emuFrance. Vakamusunga vachimupa mhosva yekuti mudzidzisi wenhema asi mambo aimusunungura. Kwemakore hondo iyi yakaramba iripo. Francis akange asina rutivi rwaairerekera pakati peRoma neVavandudzi, pamwe aimbogashira kaitire kemafundisi eRoma pamwe odzivisa pfungwa yehuipi hwavanenge vachida kuita. Katatu Berquine achisungwa nekuiswa mutirongo, asi aisunungurwa nevatongi vaiyemura njere dzake nekudzikama kwake uye vakaramba kuti aitirwe zvakaipa nevakuru vekereke.KK 141.1

Berquin akapiwa yambiro yenjodzi yaizomuwira kana akaramaba ari muFrance, akakurudzirwa kuti atore matanho ekubuda munyika iyi sezvaiita vamwe. Mumwe muzvinafundo airemekedza kukudzwa, nekuita zvaanoda kudarika Mwari; ainzi Erasmus akanyora mwadhi kuna Berquin achiti; “kumbira kuti unove mumiriri weFrance kunenyika dzekunze kana kuenda kuGermany. Beda unomuziva kuti chikara chakapedza vazhinji nekuuraya uye miseve yeuturu hwake inoenda mativi ose. Vavengi vako vanosvika zviuru nezviuru. Chinangwa chako chakakosha kudarika chaJesu here? Havakuregi uchienda vanoda kukuuraya muutsinye hwavo. Usavimba zvakanyanya nechengetedzo yauri kupiwa namambo.”-Ibid., b. 13, ch. 9.KK 141.2

Njodzi payakanyanya kuvepedyo, Berquin mushure mekuwana mashoko aya kubva kuna Erasmus zvakatowedzera hushingi maari. Akazvipira kumiririra zvokwadi nekurwisa nhema. Mhosva yaaipiwa yekuvamuteveri wenhema nemaRoma akaita kuti ive yavo ivo. Boka remadhokotera epaChikoro chikuru cheParis nevafundi vebhaibheri vairwisana zvakanyanya naBerquin pamusoro peBhaibheri. Kubva pazvinyorwa zvemadhokotera aya, Berquin akanyora zvavaitenda zvinegumi nezviviri akaisa pachena kuti dzidziso dzavo ndedzenhema uye hadzisi mubhaibheri. Ndokubva akumbira mambo kuti vave mutongi panyaya iyi. KK 141.3

Vatongi mukuona kukakavadzana kwaivapo uye mukufarira kwavo kunyadziswa kwevakuru vechechi vakapa mutemo wekuti vakuru veRoma ngavamiririre kutenda kwavo vachitsigirwa neBhaibheri. Kusapindura kwavo kwaireva kuti jeri, nekurwadziswa zvakange zvatarisana navo. Gomba ravakange vachida kuti Berquin awire mariri ndivo vakange vakufanira kuwiramo. Nyaya yakange yavapandukira, mukushamisika nekupererwa vakatsvaka nzira dzekupukunyuka nadzo panjodzi yerufu yavakange vakatarisana nayo. “Munguva imwechete chitombi chemhandara Mary chakaputswa paneimwe kona munzira yemuguta. Pakave nekukatyamara guta rose, vazhinji vakanoungana vachiratidza kubatikana nekushungurudzika. Namambo vakabatikana nechiitiko ichi. Ndowakava mukana wemamafundisi wekuitira Berquin huipi hwekumuparadza. “Izvi ndozvibereko zvedzidziso dzaBerquin,” vakadaidzira. “Zvose zvakuzomukirwa—chinamato, mutemo, kusanganisira neumambo nemhaka yedzidziso dzaLuther idzi.”-Ibid., b. 13, ch. 9.KK 141.4

Berquin akasungwa zvakare. Mambo akange asiri muguta musi uyu zvakapa mukana kuti mafundisi aite zvavaishuvira pasina mudzivisi. Muvandudzi akamiswa pamberi pedare ndokutongerwa rufu, mukutya kuti Francis angauya akasunungura musungwa, Berquin aifanira kuuraiwa zuva iroro.KK 141.5

Munguva dzamasikati Berquin akange atarisana nerufu.Vanhu vazhinji vakange vakaungana vamwe vachishamisika kuti musungwa ndeweimba huru inoremekedzwa muFrance. Kuseka kuzvidza kutuka zvaive zvakaputira zviso zvegungano yaivepo asi chiso chaBerquin chairatidza mufaro nekubwinya. Pfungwa nendangariro dzake dzaive kure nezvaiitika paari akange akanangisa pakuvepo kwaJesu pedyo naye.KK 142.1

Mungoro yerufu yaaive mairi, kufinyama kumeso kwevavengi vake, rufu rwakange rwakatarisana naye-zvose izvi haana kuzvitarisa; “Uyo arimupenyu, akange akafa, arimupenyu nekusingaperi, ane kiyi dzerufu nehadhesi akange ariparutivi rwake. Chiso chaBerquin chairatidza kupenya chine runyararo rwedenga” -D'Aubigne, History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin, b. 2, ch. 16. Yakange yave nguva yake yekupupura pamberi pamambo wemadzimambo nepamberi pedenga rose nokudaro hakuna chaidzivisa rufaro rwake. KK 142.2

Paaitungamirirwa kunzvimbo yerufu zvishomanezvishoma vanhu vaishamisika nerunyararo rwaive paari, rufaro rwemukundi rwaiva maari. “Anoita sekunge uyo anogara mutemberi achimiririra zvitsvene” vamwe vaidaro--Wylie, b. 13, ch. 9. Aripamatanda ekuti achiurawa Berquine akakumbira kuti ataure mashoko mashoma kuvanhu vaive vakaungana asi vafundisi mukutya zvingazoita vanhu vakatanga kuita ruzha nekuombera maoko kuti zvaitaurwa naBerquin zvisanzwikwa navanhu. Ibid., b. 13, ch. 9. KK 142.3

Berquin akauraiwa nekudzipwa netambo mutumbi wake ukapiswa nemoto. Shoko rekufa kwake rakaunza kusuwa kuvateveri veshanduko munyika yose yeFrance. Asi mucherechedzo weupenyu hwake hauna kurasikira pasina. “Nesuwo tazvigadzirira,” vakadaro vapupuri vechokwadi, “kusangana nerufu takatarisa paupenyu unouya.”--D'Aubigne, History of the Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin, b. 2, ch. 16.KK 142.4

Munguva yekutambudzika uku munzvimbo ye Meaux, vadzidzisi vaive nekutenda muRuvandudzo vakatorerwa marezinesi ekuti vaparidze ndokubva vatizira kune dzimwe nzvimbo. Lefevre akaenda kunyika yeGermany uyevo Farel akadzokera kunyika yechibarirwe chake kumabvazuva eFrance kuti andoparidza munzvimbo yaakakurira. Shoko rezvaiitika kuMeaux rakange ratosvika, chokwadi chaaiparidza mukusatya chakagashirwa nekuteererwa. Munguva pfupi vakuru venharaunda vakamurambidza kuparidza ndokumudzinga muguta ravo. Kunyange anga asingachakwanisi kuparidza paruzhinji, nguva yake yaive yekuparidzira vagari vemumaruwa nemapani, achiwana hugaro hwake mumapako nemumasango maaitambira achiri mwana. Mwari vakange vachimugadzirira basa guru raizove mberi kwake. “Michinjiko, kuurawa, nzira dzose dzehuipi hwaSatani dzandakange ndafanoziviswa hadzaiva pasina,” anoti, “miyedzo yacho yakange yakarema zvokusakunda ndiri ndoga; asi Mwari vari Baba vangu; vaindipa simba uye vacharamba vachindisimbisa” -D'Aubigne, History of the Reformation of the Sixteenth Century, b. 12, ch. 9.KK 142.5

Sepamazuva avaapostora kutambudzwa kwakaita kuti shoko revhangeri ritoenda mberi nesimba. VaFiripi 1:12. “Zvino avo vakaparadzirwa, vakapotenyika, vachiparidza shoko.” Acts 8:4. Chiedza chikasvika munzvimbo dzekumaruwa muFrance.KK 142.6

Mwari vakange vachiri kugadzira vabati vachaendesa basa mberi. Munechimwe chikoro muParisi maive newechidiki aifunga, akanyarara, aipa chiratidzo chekuti njere dzake dzakadzama, haana chaaipomerwa mukurarama uye ainge akazvipira pakunamata. Hudzamu hweuchenjeri hwake nemuitire wake wakaita kuti ave chidadiso pachikoro paaiva mudzidzi, Calvin uyu aitarisirwa navanhu kuti achazove mukuru anenge achirwira nekumiririra kereke. Chiedza chaMwari cheshoko chakasvika nepaari kuti chimurwire muchinamato chenhema chaakange akanyura machiri. Akanzwa dzidziso itsva nekukahadzika, aizivazve kuti dzidziso dzenhema nevanoitenda vakafanira moto. Akaita tsvakurudzo achida kubudisa pachena kuti dzidziso yeShanduko ndeyenhema kana tichitarisa dzidziso yeRoma.KK 143.1

Muzukuru waCalvin, uyo akange avemuteveri weShanduko aigara muParis. Vaviri ava paukama hwavo vaisikurukura pamusoro pezvinetso muchiKristu. “Kune zvitendero zviviri bedzi munyika,” akadaro Olivetan, aiva mutendi weRuvandudzo. “Boka rekutanga rechinamato rakavambwa navanhu, mariri munhu anoita mabasa akanaka nekutevedzera zvipiriso kuti agozviponesa; rimwe boka rechitendero rinoratidzwa kubva muBhaibheri, rinodzidzisa munhu kuti ruponeso runobva kuna Mwari kuburikidza nenyasha dzinopiwa pachena.’’ “Handinei nedzidziso itsva dzako idzo,” akadaro Calvin; “unofunga ndakararama mumanyepo upenyu hwangu hwese uhwu here?” --Wylie, b. 13, ch. 7. {GC 220.2} KK 143.2

Shoko harivhikwi, pfungwa dzake dzakange dzakutoshushikana. Ari oga akafungisisa pamusoro pemashoko emuzukuru wake. Pfungwa yekuziva kuti iye mutadzi yakamubata zvinesimba, akazviona asina mumiririri, pamberi pemutongi akarurama ari mutsvene. Kumiririra kwevatsvene, mabasa akanaka, zvipiriso zvekereke hazvaigona kuchenesa chivi. Pamberi pake aiona rima rekuparadzwa kwake chete. Vakuru vesangano vakaedza kuti mutoro uyu ubve paari asi vakakundikana. Kureurura nezvimwe zvakaitwa asi hapana zvakabatsira pakudzorera ukama hwake panaMwari.KK 143.3

Achiri pakushungurudzika nenyaya iyi pasina betsero Calvin akasvika panzvimbo paipiswa mutendi weRifomesheni. Akashamiswa nekuratidzika kwekudzikama nekuva nerunyararo kwemusungwa uyu akange atarisana nerufu. Pakati pekurwadziswa zvikuru nekuzvidzwa nekereke mubatwa uyu akaratidza ushingi nekutenda, Calvin achiita fananidzo neupenyu hwake akaona kuti arikurarama upenyu husina tariro uye arimurima guru.Akaziva kuti kutenda kwevarevi venhama ava kuri paBhaibheri. Akasarudza kudzidza Bhaibheri kuti agowana chakavanzika chemufaro wavo kusvika pakufa. KK 143.4

MuBhaubheri akaona Kristu. “O Mwari,” akachema,’’Kufa kwaJesu kwakanyaradza hasha dzenyu; Ropa rake rakasuka kuipa kwangu; Muchinjikwa wake wakatakura kutukwa kwangu; Rufu rwake rwakachenesa ini. Takazviitira paupenzi hwedu dzimwe nzira asi imi maisa Shoko renyu semwenje pamberi pangu, imi mabata moyo wangu kuti ndisiye zvose zvinokunyangadzai kunze kwekuva naJesu.” --Martyn, vol. 3, ch. 13.KK 143.5

Calvin akange akafundira kuva mupirisita. Ane makore gumi nemaviri akange achitungamira imwe kereke. Aiziva kafambire kesangano zvakadaro zvekuti mabhishopu vaimuti musoro wake ibhuku. Akave mukuru nenguva pfupi mukereke. Achiziva kuti ave mupirisita hazvichagoni akasarudza kuita zvidzidzo zvekuti agove gweta asi akazvisiira panzira ndokusarudza kuzvipira kuvhangeri kweupenyu hwake. Aitya kuva mutauri pamberi pevazhinji nekuita basa reuvhangeri, asi shamwari dzake dzakamukurudzira akazogashira kuvamuparidzi wechokwadi. “Zvinoshamisa izvi,” anodaro,“kuti munhu ane nhoroondo yepasipasi anopiwa rukudzo rwandirikupiwa.”-Wylie, b. 13, ch. 9.KK 143.6

Chinyararire Calvin akatanga kuita basa, mashoko ake aive semvura yedova inopa upenyu kunyika. Akange abuda muParis muguta diki munerimwe dunhu akachengetwa nemukunda wamambo ainzi Margaret uyo aichengetedza vadzidzi nekuti iye aifarira vhangeri. Calvin akange achiri wechidiki akadzikamira kwazvo. Basa rake ayiriitira mudzimba. Akatenderedzwa nemhuri dzaaishanyira aidzidza navo Bhaibheri nekuzarura chokwadi cheruponeso. Vaainge adzidza navo vakatakura mashoko akanaka aya kunevamwe, shoko rikapararira kwese kwese nenguva pfupi.KK 144.1

Kwemwedzi mishoma Calvin akadzoka zve muParisi. Pakati pevadzidzi paive nekudzidza mitauro yekare zvakazotungamira kuti vasvike pakudzidza Bhaibheri. Kudzidza kwacho kwaingove kwekuda kuratidzana ruzivo chete, kunyange Calvin aive neruzivo rwakadzama akasarudza kupfuurira mberi nekuparidza pakuita nharo dzisina chadzinobudisa. Calvin aipinda imba imwe neimwe achizarura Bhaibheri kuvanhu nekutaura nezvaJesu akafa akamuka.KK 144.2

Mukuzarura kwaMwari, Parisi yaifanira zve kupiwa mumwe mukana wekuwana vhangeri. Kudaidza kwaLefevre naFarel hakuna kunge kwagashirwa nevagari veguta iri, saka vhangeri raifanira kusvika zvakare mumapoka ose. Mambo achicherechedza nyaya dzematongerwe enyika akange asina kunatso rerekera kuRoma pakurwisana kwayo neShanduko. Margaret akaramba akabatirira patariro yekuti kutenda kutsva kuchakunda nekugamuchirwa muFrance. Akazvimisira kuti kutenda kweshanduko kunofanira kuparidzwa muParis. Kana mambo asipo Margaret aiukurudzira kuti mufundisi weRuvandudzo aparidze mumakereke ose emuguta. Pazvakarambidzwa nanapapa akazarura pamuzinda kuti paparidzirwe ipapo. Nzvimbo yekupindira pamuzinda yakazarurwa uye paive nenguva yekuparidzwa kweshoko, vanhu vose vaikokwa.KK 144.3

Vazhinji vaienda kunonzwa shoko. Zviuru nezviuru zvaisangana zuva nezuva, pavauyi paisanganisira, vachenjeri, vamiririri, magweta, vagadziri vezvinhu. Mambo vakaraira kuti mamwe makereke maviri emuParisi avhurwe. Hazvina kumbobvira zvakaitika kuti vanhu vaishandurwa neshoko zvakadaro. Mweya waMwari waiva pakati pevanhu.
