WORD Research this...Ephesians 5
- 1 Kwa hiyo, mwigeni Mungu, maana ninyi ni watoto wake wapenzi.
- 2 Upendo uongoze maisha yenu, kama vile Kristo alivyotupenda, na kwa ajili yetu akajitoa mwenyewe kama dhabihu yenye harufu nzuri na tambiko impendezayo Mungu.
- 3 Kwa vile ninyi ni watu wa Mungu, basi uasherati, uchafu wowote ule au choyo visitajwe kamwe miongoni mwenu.
- 4 Tena maneno ya aibu, ya upuuzi au ubishi, yote hayo hayafai kwenu; maneno ya kumshukuru Mungu ndiyo yanayofaa.
- 5 Jueni wazi kwamba mwasherati yeyote au mchafu au mfisadi, (ufisadi ni sawa na kuabudu sanamu), au mtu yeyote wa aina hiyo hataambulia chochote katika Utawala wa Kristo na wa Mungu.
- 6 Msikubali kudanganywa na mtu kwa maneno matupu; maana, kwa sababu ya mambo kama hayo ghadhabu ya Mungu huwajia wote wasiomtii.
- 7 Basi, msishirikiane nao.
- 8 Zamani ninyi mlikuwa gizani, lakini sasa ninyi mko katika mwanga kwa kuungana na Bwana. Ishini kama watoto wa mwanga:
- 9 maana matokeo ya mwanga ni wema kamili, uadilifu na ukweli.
- 10 Jaribuni kujua yale yanayompendeza Bwana.
- 11 Msishiriki katika matendo yasiyofaa, ya giza bali yafichueni.
- 12 Mambo yanayotendwa kwa siri ni aibu hata kuyataja.
- 13 Lakini mambo yale yanayotendwa katika mwanga, ukweli wake hudhihirishwa;
- 14 na kila kilichodhihirishwa huwa mwanga. Ndiyo maana Maandiko yasema: "Amka wewe uliyelala, fufuka kutoka wafu, naye Kristo atakuangaza."
- 15 Basi, muwe waangalifu jinsi mnavyoishi: Msiishi kama wapumbavu, bali kama wenye hekima.
- 16 Tumieni vizuri muda mlio nao maana siku hizi ni mbaya.
- 17 Kwa hiyo, msiwe wapumbavu, bali jaribuni kujua matakwa ya Bwana.
- 18 Acheni kulewa divai maana hiyo itawaangamiza, bali mjazwe Roho Mtakatifu.
- 19 Zungumzeni kwa maneno ya Zaburi, nyimbo na tenzi za kiroho; mwimbieni Bwana nyimbo na zaburi kwa shukrani mioyoni mwenu.
- 20 Mshukuruni Mungu Baba daima kwa ajili ya yote, kwa jina la Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo.
- 21 Kila mmoja amstahi mwenzake kwa sababu ya kumcha Kristo.
- 22 Wake wawatii waume zao kama kumtii Bwana.
- 23 Maana mume anayo mamlaka juu ya mkewe, kama vile Kristo alivyo na mamlaka juu ya kanisa; naye Kristo mwenyewe hulikomboa kanisa, mwili wake.
- 24 Kama vile kanisa linavyomtii Kristo, vivyo hivyo, wake wawatii waume zao katika mambo yote.
- 25 Nanyi waume, wapendeni wake zenu kama Kristo alivyolipenda kanisa, akajitoa mwenyewe sadaka kwa ajili yake.
- 26 Alifanya hivyo, ili kwa neno lake, aliweke wakfu kwa Mungu, baada ya kulifanya safi kwa kuliosha katika maji,
- 27 kusudi ajipatie kanisa lililo takatifu na safu kabisa, kanisa lisilo na doa, kasoro au chochote cha namna hiyo.
- 28 Basi, waume wanapaswa kuwapenda wake zao kama miili yao wenyewe.
- 29 (Hakuna mtu yeyote auchukiaye mwili wake; badala ya kuuchukia, huulisha na kuuvika. Ndivyo naye Kristo anavyolitunza kanisa,
- 30 maana sisi ni viungo vya mwili wake.)
- 31 Kama yasemavyo Maandiko Matakatifu: "Kwa hiyo, mwanamume atawaacha baba na mama yake, ataungana na mkewe, nao wawili watakuwa mwili mmoja."
- 32 Kuna ukweli uliofichika katika maneno haya, nami naona kwamba yamhusu Kristo na kanisa lake.
- 33 Lakini yanawahusu ninyi pia: kila mume lazima ampende mkewe kama nafsi yake mwenyewe, naye mke anapaswa kumstahi mumewe.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
