Aw Yu Go Difrɛn Frɔm di Pipul dɛn na di Wɔl?
“If una bin gɛt wanwɔd wit di pipul dɛn na [di] wɔl, da tɛm de dɛn bin fɔ lɛk una lɛkɛ aw dɛn lɛk dɛn yon pikin dɛn. Bɔt a dɔn pik una kɔmɔt pan dɛn, una ɛn dɛn nɔ de si wan we, na dat mek dɛn nɔ lɛk una.”—JƆN 15:19.
1. Wetin mɔ Jizɔs bin tɔk bɔt di las nɛt bifo i day?
DI LAS nɛt bifo Jizɔs day, i bin rili wɔri bɔt in disaypul dɛn. I bin ivin pre to in Papa bɔt dis. I bin se: “A nɔ de aks yu fɔ pul dɛn kɔmɔt to di ɔda pipul dɛn na [di] wɔl, a de aks yu fɔ kip dɛn mek Setan nɔ du dɛn natin. Jɛs lɛkɛ aw mi ɛn dɛn ɔda pipul na [di] wɔl nɔ de si wan we, na so dɛnsɛf ɛn di ɔda pipul dɛn na [di] wɔl nɔ de si wan we.” (Jɔn 17:15, 16) Jizɔs bin pre frɔm in at. Insay da prea de, i bin sho se i lɛk in disaypul dɛn bad bad wan. Ɛn i sho dɛn bak se di tin we i bin dɔn tɛl dɛn da ivintɛm de, impɔtant. I bin dɔn tɛl dɛn se: “Una ɛn dɛn nɔ de si wan we.” (Jɔn 15:19) Fɔ tru, i bin rili impɔtant to Jizɔs fɔ mek di wan dɛn we de fala am difrɛn frɔm di pipul dɛn na di wɔl!
2. Wetin na “di wɔl” we Jizɔs bin tɔk bɔt?

(Jɔn 14:30; Lɛta Fɔ Ɛfisɔs 2:2; Jɔn In Fɔs Lɛta 5:19) So if ɛnibɔdi ‘lɛk di tin dɛn we de na di wɔl, dat go mek i nɔ lɛk Gɔd.’ (Jems 4:4) Bɔt aw di wan dɛn we want mek Gɔd kɔntinyu fɔ lɛk dɛn, go de na di wɔl bɔt difrɛn frɔm di pipul dɛn na di wɔl? Wi go tɔk bɔt fayv we dɛn aw wi kin du dat: (1) Na we wi sɔpɔt Gɔd in Kiŋdɔm ɛn nɔ put an pan pɔlitiks, (2) na we wi nɔ fala di spirit we de na di wɔl, (3) na we wi tek tɛm wit di we aw wi de drɛs, (4) na we wi put ɔl wi atɛnshɔn pan Gɔd biznɛs, ɛn (5) na we wi wɛr di klos we Gɔd dɔn gi wi fɔ tek fɛt.
SƆPƆT GƆD IN KIŊDƆM ƐN NƆ PUT AN PAN PƆLITIKS
3. Wetin mek Jizɔs nɔ bin put an pan pɔlitiks we i bin de na di wɔl?
3 Jizɔs nɔ bin put an pan pɔlitiks, i bin de prich bɔt Gɔd in Kiŋdɔm, we na de i gɛt fɔ bi Kiŋ. (Daniɛl 7:13, 14; Lyuk 4:43) Na dat mek we Jizɔs bin de bifo di Roman Gɔvnɔ we nem Pɔntiɔs Paylet, i bin se: “Mi nɔto Kiŋ na dis wɔl.” (Jɔn 18:36) Di wan dɛn we de fala Krays, nɔ de kɔmɔt biɛn am, ɛn dɛn de falamakata am bay we dɛn de sɔpɔt Gɔd in Kiŋdɔm ɛn tɛl ɔda pipul dɛn bɔt da Kiŋdɔm de. (Matyu 24:14) Di apɔsul Pɔl tɔk se: “Na di mɛsej dis we Krays gi wi fɔ una, lɛkɛ se Gɔd insɛf de tɔk to una; na fɔseka Krays, wi de beg una: una alaw Gɔd mek i mek una tap fɔ bi pipul we nɔ lɛk am, ɛn bi in padi dɛn.”—Sɛkɛn Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 5:20.
4. Aw tru Kristian dɛn de sho se dɛn de sɔpɔt Gɔd in Kiŋdɔm? (Rid di bɔks we se “Fɔstɛm Kristian dɛn Nɔ Bin De Put An Pan Pɔlitiks.”.)
4 Di anɔyntɛd Kristian dɛn we de fala Jizɔs gɛt fɔ de na ɛvin. (Lɛta Fɔ Filipay 3:20) Di zil we dɛn gɛt fɔ prich bɔt di Kiŋdɔm, dɔn ɛp bɔku pipul dɛn we na Krays in “ɔda ship dɛn” fɔ bi Gɔd in padi. (Jɔn 10:16; Matyu 25:31-40) Di ɔda ship dɛn de sho se dɛn de fɔ di Kiŋdɔm bay we dɛn de sɔpɔt Jizɔs in anɔyntɛd brɔda dɛn. Jizɔs in brɔda dɛn ɛn dɛn ɔda ship ya de tɔk bɔt in Kiŋdɔm, ɛn dɛn nɔ de put an pan pɔlitiks atɔl.—Rid Ayzaya 2:2-4.
5. Aw Kristian dɛn difrɛn frɔm di Izrɛlayt dɛn? Wetin dis dɔn mek wi nɔ de du?
5 Nɔto jɔs bikɔs tru Kristian dɛn de sɔpɔt Krays mek dɛn nɔ de put dɛn an pan pɔlitiks. Gɔd in pipul dɛn we bin de trade trade bin de na wangren kɔntri, bɔt tide, Gɔd in pipul dɛn de na difrɛn difrɛn say dɛn na di wɔl. (Matyu 28:19; Pita In Fɔs Lɛta 2:9) So if wi de put an pan pɔlitiks na dis wɔl, wi nɔ go ebul fɔ tɔk bɔt di Kiŋdɔm fayn fayn wan ɛn wi nɔ go gɛt wanwɔd wit wi Kristian brɔda dɛn na di wɔl. (Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 1:10) Dɔn, we wɔ kam, wi go de fɛt wi brɔda dɛn we di Baybul dɔn tɛl wi se wi fɔ lɛk. (Jɔn 13:34, 35; Jɔn In Fɔs Lɛta 3:10-12) So na dis mek Jizɔs bin tɛl in disaypul dɛn se dɛn nɔ fɔ fɛt. Ɛn i bin ivin tɛl dɛn se dɛn fɔ lɛk dɛn ɛnimi dɛn.—Matyu 5:44; 26:52; rid di bɔks we se “A De Sɔpɔt Jiova?”.
6. We tru Kristian dɛn dɔn gi dɛn layf to Gɔd, aw dis fɔ mek dɛn si di wan dɛn we de rul dɛn?
6 Tru Kristian dɛn dɔn gi dɛn layf to Gɔd. Dɛn nɔ gi dɛn layf to ɛni mɔtalman, ɔganayzeshɔn, ɔ kɔntri. Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 6:19, 20 tɔk se: “Una nɔto una yon prɔpati, una na Gɔd yon prɔpati. Gɔd pe dia fɔ una.” So pan ɔl we wi fɔ ɔna di wan dɛn we de rul wi, pe taks, ɛn put wisɛf ɔnda dɛn, wi fɔ stil gi “Gɔd wetin blant Gɔd.” (Mak 12:17; Lɛta Fɔ Rom 13:1-7) Dis min se wi fɔ wɔship am, lɛk am wit ɔl wi at, fetful to am, ɛn obe am. Wi fɔ ivin rɛdi fɔ day fɔ am.—Lyuk 4:8; 10:27; rid Di Apɔsul Dɛn Wok [Akt] 5:29; Lɛta Fɔ Rom 14:8.
NƆ FALA DI SPIRIT WE DE NA DI WƆL
7, 8. Wetin na “di wɔl yon spirit”? Aw di dɛbul dɛn edman de “rul” pipul dɛn?
7 Wan ɔda we we Kristian dɛn nɔ kin miks pan di tin dɛn we de na di wɔl, na we dɛn nɔ gri fɔ fala di spirit we de na di wɔl. Di apɔsul Pɔl bin rayt se: “Nɔto di wɔl yon spirit wi gɛt, na Gɔd in yon Spirit wi gɛt.” (Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 2:12) I bin tɛl di Kristian dɛn na Ɛfisɔs se: “Una bin de du ɔl dɛn bad tin we di pipul dɛn na di wɔl de du. Una bin de du wetin di dɛbul dɛn edman we de ɔlɔbɔt tɛl una fɔ du, nain de rul dɛn pipul we nɔ de du wetin Gɔd tɛl dɛn fɔ du.”—Lɛta Fɔ Ɛfisɔs 2:2, 3.
8 Wetin na “di wɔl yon spirit”? Na di tin we de mek pipul dɛn nɔ de du wetin Gɔd want, ɛn na in de mek pipul du wetin dɛn yay ɛn dɛn bɔdi want. (Jɔn In Fɔs Lɛta 2:16; Fɔs Lɛta To Timoti 6:9, 10) Di “dɛbul dɛn edman” kin mek pipul dɛn du wetin dɛn bɔdi want, i kin mek dɛn fil se wetin dɛn de du nɔ bad. Ɛn i nɔ de kɔmɔt biɛn pɔsin te di pɔsin du wetin i want. I dɔn mek pipul dɛn we de ɔlsay na di wɔl du wetin i want. Ɛn i de “rul” pɔsin bay we i de mek di pɔsin gɛt abit dɛn we Gɔd nɔ want, lɛk fɔ bisin bɔt yusɛf nɔmɔ, fɔ prawd, fɔ tink bɔt aw yu wangren go de go bifo, fɔ du wetin yu want fɔ du, ɛn nɔ fɔ obe di wan dɛn we de oba yu.a Dis dɛbul de tray fɔ mek in abit dɛn de na mɔtalman at.—Jɔn 8:44; Di Apɔsul Dɛn Wok [Akt] 13:10; Jɔn In Fɔs Lɛta 3:8, 10.
9. Aw di spirit we de na di wɔl go ambɔg wi maynd ɛn wi at?
9 Yu fil se di spirit we de na di wɔl go ambɔg wi maynd ɛn wi at? Yɛs, bɔt na yu go gri fɔ lɛ i ambɔg yu if yu nɔ tek tɛm. (Rid Prɔvabs 4:23.) I kin bigin smɔl smɔl, sɔntɛm wi padi dɛn kin tan lɛk gud pipul dɛn, bɔt we yu wach dɛn gud, yu go si se dɛn nɔ lɛk Jiova atɔl. (Prɔvabs 13:20; Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 15:33) Yu kin alaw dis bad spirit fɔ de na yu at bay we yu de rid buk dɛn we nɔ fayn fɔ rid, ɔ de luk tin dɛn we de sho mami ɛn dadi biznɛs, ɔ de go na Intanɛt wɛbsayt dɛn we de tich lay lay tin dɛn, ɔ we yu de ɛnjɔy yusɛf di we aw Gɔd nɔ want, ɔ put an pan dɛn spɔt we pɔsin kin want fɔ win pawpa, ɔ we yu put an pan ɛnitin we nɔ fayn we de na Setan in wɔl.
10. Aw wi go avɔyd di bad spirit we de na di wɔl?
10 Aw wi go avɔyd di bad spirit we de na di wɔl, ɛn aw wi go mek Gɔd kɔntinyu fɔ lɛk wi? Wan men tin we go ɛp wi, na we wi tek di Baybul, di mitin dɛn, ɛn ɔda tin dɛn we Jiova de gi wi, siriɔs, ɛn we wi de pre ɔltɛm fɔ oli spirit. Jiova gɛt pawa fa fawe pas Setan ɛn di pipul dɛn we de ɔnda am. (Jɔn In Fɔs Lɛta 4:4) So i rili impɔtant fɔ lɛ wi de nia Jiova bay we wi de pre to am ɔltɛm.

11. Aw pipul dɛn de drɛs tide?
11 Pipul dɛn kin no di kayn pɔsin we sɔmbɔdi bi bay di we aw i de drɛs ɛn kia fɔ in bɔdi. Insay plɛnti kɔntri dɛn tide, pipul dɛn nɔ de drɛs fayn lɛk aw dɛn bin de drɛs fayn trade.

Wi nɔ fɔ de drɛs fɔ mek ɔlman wach wi, bɔt di we aw wi de drɛs, fɔ mek Gɔd kɔntinyu fɔ lɛk wi. (Fɔs Lɛta To Timoti 2:9, 10; Jud In Lɛta 21) Di Baybul se “ɔl una yon fayn fɔ de insay . . . , na dɛn kayn tin ya Gɔd luk se fayn.”—Pita In Fɔs Lɛta 3:3, 4.
13 Mɛmba bak se, di we aw wi de drɛs na so pipul dɛn de si di Gɔd we wi de wɔship. We wi de drɛs, wi nɔ fɔ de wɛr dɛn dia dia tin dɛn fɔ blɔf ɔda pipul dɛn.

Pantap ɔl dis, wi want fɔ rɛspɛkt Jiova ɛn in pipul dɛn ɛn sho se wi na Gɔd in savant dɛn we rɛdi fɔ du wetin go “mek Gɔd gɛt di prez.”—Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 4:9; 10:31; Sɛkɛn Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 6:3, 4; 7:1.

15. Wetin mek Gɔd in Wɔd nɔ gi wi lɔ dɛn we de tɛl wi aw wi fɔ drɛs, kia fɔ wi bɔdi, ɛn kip wisɛf klin?
15 Di Baybul nɔ put ɛni lɔ bɔt di we aw wi fɔ drɛs, kia fɔ wi bɔdi, ɛn aw wi de kip wisɛf klin. Jiova dɔn gi wi fridɔm fɔ tink ɛn du tin dɛn di we aw wi want, so i nɔ go pul dis fridɔm na wi an.

Bɔt Jizɔs bin se: “Nɔto di plɛnti tin dɛn we pɔsin gɛt go mek di pɔsin gɛt di tru layf.” (Lyuk 12:15) Jizɔs nɔ bin min se pipul dɛn nɔ fɔ tray fɔ gɛt wetin dɛn want na layf. Bɔt i bin de tich se tru tru layf ɛn gladi at go de fɔ di wan dɛn “we abop pan Gɔd,” ɛn we put ɔl dɛn atɛnshɔn pan Gɔd biznɛs.

(Jɔn 8:44) Aw di tin dɛn we a de tɔk, di tin dɛn we a want fɔ du tumara bambay, di tin dɛn we a put fɔs na mi layf, ɛn di we aw a de liv mi layf, de sho uskayn pɔsin a bi?’—Lyuk 6:45; 21:34-36; Jɔn In Sɛkɛn Lɛta 6.

18. Uskayn ɛnimi di Baybul se wi gɛt? Wetin i de yuz fɔ gɛt wi? Uskayn fɛt wi de fɛt?

I se: “Una fɔ tinap traŋa: mek ɔl wetin tru bi di bɛlt we una fɔ tay; mek di rayt we bi di ayɛn plet we una go wɛr fɔ kɔba una chɛst wɛn una de fɛt.

(Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 9:27) Fɔ tru, na di tɛm we wi nɔ de fɛt na in wi fɔ wɔri!
