11 “Uthando . . . lubekezelela zonke izinto.” Ngokwezwi nezwi leyo nkulumo isho ukuthi “lumboza zonke izinto.” (Kingdom Interlinear) Eyoku-1 Petru 4:8 ithi: “Uthando lumboza izono eziningi.” Yebo, umKristu obuswa uthando akakushisekeli ukweneka konke ukungapheleli namaphutha abafowabo abangamaKristu. Ezimweni eziningi, amaphutha esikholwa nabo asuke emancane futhi engase ambozwe uthando.—IzAga 10:12; 17:9. vague nature of the concept, there have been academic attempts to define it more precisely. Definitions vary, but often reference is made to ‘social bonding agent’ (Rajulton, Ravanera et al. 2007), or “the need to find unifying common ground which will inspire assent across the board” (Wetherell 2007, 5). The most rigorous attempt at an academic definition is provided by Forrest & Kearns (2001), whereby social cohesion is broken down into five dimensions: common values and a civic culture; social order and social control; social solidarity and reductions in wealth disparities; social networks and social capital; and place attachment and identity. In public and policy discourse, the Cantle Report (Cantle 2001) used these five dimensions, although replaced the term ‘social cohesion’ with ‘community cohesion’, the reasoning behind which was that, as noted above, it is possible for internally ‘socially cohesive’ communities to exhibit tensions externally with other communities.
