Book of Jehovih’s Kingdom on Earth Chapter 22<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. This was commanded unto the inhabitants of Shalam, to wit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Ye shall not persuade any adult to come into the Father’s kingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. But ye shall say unto whoso cometh your way: Come and see us, and judge thou, in
\nthine own way, what is best for thee and for the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Others shall come to Shalam, inquiring for curiosity’s sake, and for the sake of relating
\nmischievous falsehoods founded on a grain of truth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Therefore, be ye guarded, saying to such: The time of word-doctrines is at an end;
\nexamine thou, and judge as thou wilt.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Others will seek to convict you of self-righteousness. Therefore, if they inquire after
\nthis manner, to wit: Say ye, the Faithists are immaculate? or, say ye, all others are wrong?
\nthen shall ye answer them, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Nothing mortal is immaculate; and, as for others, we are not their judges. Go thou to
\nJehovih, and inquire of Him. Sufficient unto us is it to do all the good we can, having
\nfaith in Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Some will seek to trap you on the subject of marriage, inquiring after this manner, to
\nwit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Say ye, celibacy is higher than marriage? or, is marriage the higher? What say ye of
\nmarriage and of divorce?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. To these ye shall answer after this manner: We are no man’s keeper; neither say we
\nwhether celibacy or marriage is the higher. We give liberty unto all to serve Jehovih, on
\nthat matter, in their own way. One marriage only do we permit to any man or woman.
\nAnd, though one or the other die, yet the survivor can not marry again. And, as to such as
\nare married, they can, at the option of either one, return to celibacy, by being publicly
\nproclaimed in the temple of Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And if they inquire of you as to leadership, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Who is the leader? Who is the highest? Who is the head? Ye shall answer them,
\nsaying: Jehovih. We have no man-leader; no man who is higher than another. We are
\nbrothers and sisters.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. They will press you, inquiring: Some men can do more work; some men are stronger;
\nsome men are wiser; now, therefore, how do ye grade them that excellence may be known
\nand respected?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. To these ye shall reply, saying: All men are Jehovih’s. He designed the strong ones to
\ncarry heavier burdens than the weak; He designed the wise ones to teach the less wise.
\nWhy, then, shall we give any preference to one over another? They are not ours, but
\nJehovih’s. Sufficient is it for us to do our own parts, with all our wisdom and strength.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
