PLANTE bigman oli tingbaot yangtaem olsem nambawan taem long laef. Oli tingbaot we taem oli yang, oli gat paoa mo oli strong blong mekem samting.

Mo yu mas wokbaot long ol rod we hat blong yu i lidim yu long olgeta, mo long ol samting we ae blong yu i luk.” Be Solomon i givim woning tu long ol yangfala se: “Karemaot wari long hat blong yu, mo tekemaot trabol long bodi blong yu.” Mo hem i go moa i se: “Yang taem mo ol faswan yia blong laef oli blong nating nomo.”—Prija 11:9, 10, NW.
4, 5. ?From wanem i waes we ol yangfala oli rere from fiuja blong olgeta? Givim wan pijatok.

Tingbaot pijatok ya. ?Sipos wan yangfala i kasem wan bigfala presen, maet mane we papa blong hem i livim long hem taem hem i ded, bambae hem i mekem wanem?

6. (a) ?Wanem advaes blong Solomon we i save givhan long ol yangfala? (b) ?Jeova i wantem mekem wanem blong ol yangfala, mo olsem wanem ol yangfala oli save kasem samting ya?
6 Solomon i givim wan advaes we i save halpem yu blong yusum yangtaem blong yu long waes fasin. Hem i se: “God i mekem yumi, mo naoia we yufala i yangfala yet, oltaem yufala i mas tingbaot hem.” (Prija 12:1) Hemia nao advaes blong folem sipos yu wantem win long laef blong yu. Yes, yu mas lesin long Jeova mo mekem ol samting we hem i wantem. Jeova i talem long ol man Isrel bifo, wanem nao we hem i wantem mekem long olgeta, i se: “Mi mi savegud wanem samting we mi stap tingbaot blong givim long yufala. Mi tingbaot blong givim pis long yufala, i no trabol, from we mi mi wantem we yufala i gat wan fiuja mo wan hop.” (Jeremaea 29:11, NW ) Jeova i wantem givim “wan fiuja mo wan hop” long yu tu. Sipos yu tingbaot Hem long evri samting we yu mekem, long evri tingting blong yu, mo long evri disisen we yu mekem, ale fiuja mo hop ya blong yu bambae i gud.—Revelesen 7:16, 17; 21:3, 4.
“Stap Klosap Long God”
7, 8. ?Olsem wanem wan yangfala i save kam klosap long God?
7 Jemes i pulum yumi blong tingbaot Jeova taem hem i talem se: “Yufala i mas stap klosap long God, nao hem bambae i kam stap klosap long yufala.” (Jemes 4:8) Jeova i Man we i Wokem Olgeta Samting, hem i Haefala Masta blong heven mo wol, hem wan nomo we i stret blong yumi wosipim hem mo presem hem. (Revelesen 4:11) Nating se i olsem, sipos yumi kam klosap long hem, bambae hem i kam stap klosap long yumi. Hemia i soem se Jeova i rili intres long yumi mo i lavem yumi. ?Ating samting ya i tajem hat blong yu no?—Matiu 22:37.
8 Yumi save kam klosap long Jeova long plante rod. Wan rod, hemia we aposol Pol i tokbaot se: “Oltaem yufala i mas prea we tingting blong yufala i no slak. Tingting blong yufala i mas klia gud, mo oltaem yufala i mas talem tangkiu long God.” (Kolosi 4:2) Hemia i min se yu mas mekem we fasin ya blong prea i kam wan haf blong laef blong yu. I no naf we yu talem amen nomo taem papa blong yu no wan narafala Kristin long kongregesen i prea. Yu wan yu mas prea tu. ?Yu yu talemaot finis long Jeova, evri samting we i stap long hat blong yu? ?Yu yu talemaot finis long Jeova, wanem ol tingting blong yu, ol samting we yu fraet long hem, ol traem we yu fesem? ?Samtaem yu bin talemaot long Jeova samting we maet yu yu sem tumas blong storebaot long wan narafala man? Taem ol prea blong yu oli kamaot long hat blong yu, mo oli tru, bambae oli putum pis long tingting blong yu. (Filipae 4:6, 7) Ol prea olsem oli halpem yumi blong kam klosap moa long Jeova, mo oli halpem yumi blong harem save se Jeova i stap klosap long yumi.
9. ?Olsem wanem wan yangfala i save lesin long Jeova?
9 I gat wan narafala rod blong kam klosap long Jeova, olsem vas ya i talem: “Sipos yu stap lesin long ol gudfala tok we ol man oli givim blong givhan long yu, mo yu glad blong lan, bambae yu yu kam wan waes man [“long fiuja,” NW ].” (Ol Proveb 19:20) Yes, sipos yu lesin long Jeova mo yu obei long hem, yu stap wokem wan gudfala fandesen blong fiuja. ?Olsem wanem yu save soemaot se yu stap lesin long Jeova? Ating yu yu stap kam oltaem long ol Kristin miting mo yu lesin gud long olgeta tok we oli kamaot long ol miting ya. Mo tu, ating yu yu ‘ona long papa mo mama blong yu’ taem yu joen oltaem long famle Baebol stadi wetem tufala. (Efesas 6:1, 2; Hibrus 10:24, 25) Hemia i nambawan. Be antap long hemia, ?Yu yu stap ‘yusum evri janis we yu yu kasem’ blong yu rerem ol miting, blong yu ridim Baebol evri dei, mo blong mekem risej long ol buk blong Sosaeti? ?Yu yu stap traehad blong mekem samting we yu ridim i wok long laef blong yu, blong yu save wokbaot olsem man “we i waes”? (Efesas 5:15-17; Ol Sam 1:1-3) Sipos yu mekem olsem, ale yu stap kam klosap long Jeova.
10, 11. ?Wanem bigbigfala blesing we ol yangfala oli save kasem taem oli lesin long Jeova?
10 Long ol faswan tok long buk blong Proveb, tabu spirit i pulum man ya blong talem from wanem oli raetem buk ya blong Proveb. Hem i se, buk ya i “blong givhan long yumi blong mekem yumi waes, blong yumi save folem ol gudfala advaes, mo yumi save haremsave ol tok we mining blong olgeta i dip. Ol tok ya i save tijim yumi long fasin we bambae yumi save gat hed, mo we yumi no save giaman, mo we yumi save mekem ol fasin we i stret, mo we yumi save mekem i sem mak nomo long olgeta man. Ol tok ya i save openem tingting blong man we i no save samting yet, mo i save mekem ol yang man oli waes gud, mo oli gat gudfala tingting.” (Ol Proveb 1:1-4) Taswe, taem yu ridim mo folem ol tok blong Proveb—wetem ol narafala tok blong Baebol—bambae yu wokem ol fasin we i stret mo i gud. Nao bambae Jeova i glad blong letem yu yu kam klosap long hem. (Ol Sam 15:1-5) Moa we yu kam naf blong skelem ol samting, yusum waes, save, mo tingting blong yu, moa we bambae yu mekem ol disisen we oli gud.
11 ?Yumi stap mekem i strong tumas long ol yangfala taem yumi askem olgeta blong wokbaot long waes fasin? Nogat, from we plante yangfala Kristin oli stap mekem olsem finis. Mo from samting ya, ol narafala oli gat respek long olgeta mo oli no “luklukdaon” long olgeta from we oli yang. (1 Timoti 4:12) Papa mama blong ol yangfala ya oli praod long olgeta, mo Jeova i talem se oli stap mekem hem i glad we i glad. (Ol Proveb 27:11) Nating se oli yangfala, oli save sua se toktok ya we i kamaot long tabu spirit i go stret long olgeta: “Yu lukluk gud long gudfala man, we laef blong hem i stret, mo we hem i wantem pis, yu traem makem fasin blong hem. Olgeta we oli kamaot biaen long hem oli plante we plante [“man ya bambae i gat pis long fiuja,” NW ].”—Ol Sam 37:37.
Jusum Samting Long Waes Fasin
12. ?Wanem wan impoten samting we ol yangfala oli mas jusum, mo from wanem jus ya i save afektem ful laef blong olgeta?
12 Yangtaem i wan taem blong mekem disisen. Sam long ol disisen ya oli save afektem ful laef blong yu. Tru ya, ol samting we yu jusum naoia oli save makemaot se fiuja blong yu bambae i olsem wanem.

Faswan hemia long saed blong ol fren: ?Hu olgeta we bambae yu yu jusum blong kampani wetem olgeta? ?From wanem i impoten blong tingbaot samting ya? Wan proveb long Baebol i talem se: “Sipos man i go joen long ol waes man, bambae hem i save kam waes, be sipos hem i go mekem fren wetem ol man we oli no gat hed, bambae hem i spolem hem nomo.” (Ol Proveb 13:20) Hemia i min se man we yu yu fren wetem, be sloslo bambae yu kam olsem hem—we maet yu kam waes no maet yu kam olsem we yu no gat hed. ?Yu yu wantem kam olsem weswan long tufala ya?
13, 14. (a) ?Ol fren i minim man be i save minim wanem tu? (b) ?Ol yangfala oli mas lukaot we oli no mekem wanem mastik?
13 Taem yu tingbaot ol fren, ating yu save se hemia i minim ol man we yu kampani wetem olgeta. Hemia i tru, be i no ol man nomo we oli ol fren blong yumi.

Sipos ol samting ya oli fulap long raf fasin mo ol doti fasin blong seks no i leftemap fasin blong yusum drag, fasin blong drong, no eni nara samting we i agensem ol rul blong Baebol, ale i olsem we yu stap fren wetem “ol man we oli no gat hed,” we oli mekem samting ya from we oli ting se Jeova i no stap.—Ol Sam 14:1.

Hem i se: “Ol stret man nomo, be ol fren blong olgeta we oli no stret, oli save spolem fasin blong olgeta.” (1 Korin 15:33) Sore tumas, plante yangfala Kristin we oli naf finis blong karem gudfala frut insaed long trutok, oli spolem gud janis ya from we oli no waes taem oli jusum ol fren blong olgeta. Taswe, i gud yu gat strong tingting blong sakemaot ol fren we oli save spolem yu. Sipos yu mekem olsem, bambae yu folem advaes ya blong Pol we i se: “Yufala i no mas letem fasin blong yufala i kam olsem fasin blong ol man long wol.

Nao bambae yufala i save jusumaot ol fasin we God i wantem, wanem i gud, mo wanem hem i glad long hem, mo wanem i stret gud blong mekem.”—Rom 12:2.

15 Hemia namba tu samting we yu mas jusum. Wan dei yu mas tekem disisen se bambae yu mekem wanem taem yu finis long skul. Sipos yu stap long wan kantri we i had blong faenem wok, maet yu harem se i moagud blong tekem enikaen wok nomo.

Hemia i min se i stap long yumi wanwan nao blong winim mane we yumi nidim blong pem samting olsem kakae, klos, mo haos. (2 Tesalonaeka 3:10-12) Be i gat sam samting moa blong tingbaot.

Sem samting i tru long yumi tede.
Tinghae Long Ol Samting Long Saed Blong Spirit
18, 19. (a) ?Bighaf blong ol man raonabaot long yu oli stap harem nogud long wanem samting, mo wanem filing we yu mas gat long olgeta? (b) ?From wanem sam man we oli sot long kakae long saed blong spirit oli no harem se oli hanggri?
18 ?Samtaem yu luk pija blong ol pikinini we oli no gat kakae long ol pua kantri? Sipos yes, ating yu sore tumas long olgeta ya. ?Olsem wanem? ?Yu sore tu long ol man raonabaot long yu? ?From wanem yu mas sore long olgeta? From we bighaf blong olgeta tu oli sot long kakae. Ol man ya oli sot long kakae ya we profet Amos i bin tokbaot i se: “I gat taem i stap kam we bambae mi [Jeova, mi] mekem we yufala i gat hadtaem blong kasem kakae. Bambae yufala i hanggri tumas, mo yufala i tosta tumas, be i no from wota. Long taem ya, bambae yufala i wantem tumas blong harem tok blong mi, olsem we man we i hanggri tumas i wantem kakae, mo man we i tosta tumas i wantem dring.”—Amos 8:11.
19 I tru, bighaf blong ol man we oli hanggri long saed blong spirit oli no “luksave se oli nidim ol samting long saed blong spirit.” (Matiu 5:3, NW ) Plante long olgeta oli no harem se oli hanggri from ol samting long saed blong spirit. Maet sam long olgeta oli ting se oli stap kakae gud nomo. Be sipos oli ting olsem, hemia from we oli stap kakae ol rabis kakae ya we oli kamaot long ol “waestok blong man.” Waestok blong man, hemia i olsem fasin blong ronem mane, ol save we ol sayentis oli no pruvum yet, ol defdefren tingting long saed blong wanem fasin blong seks i gud mo wanem i nogud, mo plante narafala samting olsem. Sam man oli talem se “waes” ya blong wol i mekem we ol tijing blong Baebol oli no moa stret long yumi tede. Be “ol man [blong wol ya] oli no save yusum waes blong olgeta nomo blong save [God].” Waes blong wol ya i no save givhan long yu nating blong yu kam klosap long God. Waes ya hem i olsem “krangke nomo” long fes blong God.—1 Korin 1:20, 21; 3:19.
20. ?From wanem i krangke nomo blong wantem folem fasin blong ol man we oli no wosipim Jeova?
20 ?Taem yu lukluk pija blong ol pikinini ya we oli no gat kakae, samtaem yu gat tingting se yu wantem kam olsem olgeta? !Nogat! Be, i gat sam yangfala long ol Kristin famle blong yumi we oli wantem kam olsem ol man raonabaot long olgeta we oli stap hanggri long saed blong spirit. Ating ol yangfala ya oli ting se ol yangfala long wol oli no gat wari, oli stap harem gud long laef. Oli fogetem se ol yangfala ya oli stap longwe tumas long Jeova. (Efesas 4:17, 18) Mo tu, oli fogetem se taem man i sot long kakae long saed blong spirit, hem i kasem nogud frut long laef blong hem. Sam long ol nogud frut ya, hemia se yang gel i gat pikinini we hem i no wantem, mo ol trabol long bodi mo filing we oli kamaot from nogud fasin long saed blong seks, fasin blong smok, drong, mo yusum drag. Man we i hanggri long saed blong spirit i kam stronghed, i no save olsem wanem blong winim ol trabol blong laef, mo laef blong hem i olbaot.
21. ?Olsem wanem yumi save blokem yumi wan blong yumi no tekem fasin blong ol man we oli no wosipim Jeova?
21 Taswe, taem yu stap long skul wetem ol yangfala we oli no wosipim Jeova, yu no mas letem ol fasin blong olgeta oli winim yu. (2 Korin 4:18) Sam long olgeta bambae oli tok daonem ol samting long saed blong spirit. Mo tu, ol toktok long televisin, radio, mo ol buk, bambae oli givim tingting se i oraet nomo blong slip olbaot, blong drong, mo blong yusum tok swea. Be yu mas faet agensem tingting ya. Gohed oltaem blong kampani wetem ol man we oli ‘bilif, mo we tingting blong olgeta i klin gud long fes blong God.’ Stap bisi oltaem “long ol wok ya blong Masta blong yumi.” (1 Timoti 1:19; 1 Korin 15:58) Stap bisi long ol wok long Haos Kingdom mo long wok blong prij. Taem yu stap skul yet, tekem janis sam samtaem blong joen long wok blong haftaem paenia. Long rod ya, yu save mekem we tingting blong yu i stap strong long ol samting long saed blong spirit, mo bambae yu no foldaon.—2 Timoti 4:5.
