DU ƆLTIN FƆ “MEK GƆD GƐT DI PREZ”
4. Aw di gi we wi dɔn gi wi layf to Jiova, go mek wi tek tɛm pik di we aw wi de ɛnjɔy wisɛf?
4 Dis biɛn tɛm, wan ol Jiova Witnɛs we bin baptayz insay di ia 1946, bin tɔk se: “A kin mek shɔ se a go ɛn tek tɛm lisin fayn to di tɔk dɛn we dɛn kin gi fɔ di wan dɛn we want baptayz. A kin lisin lɛk se na mi gɛt fɔ baptayz.” I ɛksplen wetin mek i kin du so, i se, “We a kin mɛmba ɔltɛm bɔt di gi we a dɔn gi mi layf to Jiova, dɔn rili ɛp mi fɔ fetful to am.” Yu go mɔs gri wit wetin dis ol Jiova Witnɛs tɔk. We yu de mɛmba yusɛf se yu bin dɔn prɔmis Jiova se yu go yuz yu layf fɔ sav am, dat go ɛp yu fɔ bia ɛnitin we go kam yu we. (Rid Ɛkliziastis 5:4; Di Ibru Pipul Dɛn 10:7) We yu de tink dip wan bɔt di gi we yu dɔn gi yu layf to Jiova, dat go ɛp yu fɔ si bɔku tin dɛn lɛk aw Gɔd de si dɛn, lɛk di prich we Kristian dɛn fɔ prich ɛn di we aw dɛn fɔ ɛnjɔy dɛnsɛf. Di apɔsul Pɔl bin tɛl wi di tru tin bɔt dat we i bin de rayt to in Kristian brɔda dɛn. I bin se: “Ɛnitin we una de du, if una de it ɔ una de drink, una fɔ mek Gɔd gɛt di prez.”—Na wi mek am italiks; Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 10:31.
5. Aw Lɛvitikɔs 22:18-20 ɛp wi fɔ si di wɔnin we de na Lɛta Fɔ Rom 12:1?
5 Ɛnitin we yu de du na layf go mek Jiova gladi ɔ nɔ gladi. We Pɔl bin de rayt di Kristian dɛn we bin de na Rom, i bin yuz wɔd dɛn we gɛt dip minin fɔ tɛl dɛn bɔt dis sem tin. I bin tɛl dɛn se: “A de beg una mek una gi una layf lɛkɛ sakrifays to Gɔd fɔ du in wok, ɛn fɔ du ɔl wetin i lɛk; na di tru we dat fɔ wɔship Gɔd.” (Lɛta Fɔ Rom 12:1) Sɔntɛnde, we di Baybul kin tɔk bɔt layf, i kin min yu maynd, yu at, ɛn yu trɛnk. Yu de yuz ɔl dɛn tin ya fɔ sav Gɔd. (Mak 12:30) Pɔl se we wi de yuz wi layf fɔ sav Gɔd tan lɛk sakrifays. We Pɔl yuz di wɔd sakrifays, i bin de tek tɛm wɔn in Kristian brɔda dɛn. Di tɛm we Gɔd bin gi in Lɔ dɛn to Mozis, i nɔ bin de tek ɛni sakrifays we gɛt bɔt ɔ we gɛt sɔntin pan am we nɔ fayn. (Lɛvitikɔs 22:18-20) Semweso, if di wɔship we pɔsin de wɔship Gɔd, gɛt ɛni bɔt ɔ sɔntin pan am we nɔ fayn, Gɔd nɔ de tek da wɔship de. Aw di wɔship we pɔsin de wɔship Gɔd kin gɛt bɔt?
6, 7. Aw pɔsin we na Kristian go dɔti in bɔdi? Wetin na di prɔblɛm dɛn we i go gɛt if i dɔti in bɔdi?
6 Pɔl bin tɛl di Kristian dɛn we de na Rom se: “Una nɔ fɔ sin wit ɛni pat pan una bɔdi.” Pɔl tɛl dɛn bak se: “Una fɔ kil dɛn tin we de mek una sin.” (Lɛta Fɔ Rom 6:12-14; 8:13) Insay di fɔs pat na in lɛta, i bin tɔk bɔt sɔm tin dɛn ‘we de mek wi sin.’ I bin rayt se: “Na bad wɔd ɛn kɔs nɔmɔ de kɔmɔt na dɛn mɔt.” “Dɛn lɛk fɔ kil ɛn mek pipul sɔfa.” “Dɛn nɔ de fred Gɔd sɛf.” (Na wi mek am italiks; Lɛta Fɔ Rom 3:13-18) Kristian go dɔti in bɔdi if i de yuz ‘ɛni pat pan in bɔdi’ fɔ du bad tin. Fɔ ɛgzampul, if pɔsin we na Kristian lɛk fɔ luk tin dɛn we de sho nekɛd pɔsin, tin dɛn we de sho usay dɛn de du mami ɛn dadi biznɛs, ɔ usay pipul dɛn de fɛt-fɛt, i de sin wit in yay ɛn i de dɔti in wan ol bɔdi. So dis pɔsin in wɔship go tan lɛk sakrifays we nɔ klin ɛn Gɔd nɔ go tek am. (Ditarɔnɔmi 15:21; Pita In Fɔs Lɛta 1:14-16; Pita In Sɛkɛn Lɛta 3:11) Yu si wetin mek i fayn fɔ lɛ wi ɛnjɔy wisɛf di we aw Jiova want? Bikɔs if wi nɔ du dat, wi go sɔfa.
7 Dis dɔn sho wi klia wan se di we aw wi de ɛnjɔy wisɛf go kam wit siriɔs prɔblɛm dɛn, if wi nɔ tek tɛm. So wi want fɔ ɛnjɔy wisɛf di we we go mek Gɔd tek di wɔship we wi de wɔship am. Bɔt wi nɔ want fɔ ɛnjɔy wisɛf ɛnikayn we we go dɔti di wɔship we wi de wɔship Gɔd. Lɛ wi tɔk naw bɔt aw wi go no wetin fayn ɛn wetin nɔ fayn fɔ tek ɛnjɔy wisɛf.
“UNA NƆ FƆ LƐK ƐNITIN WE BAD”
8, 9. (a) Us tu we dɛn de we pipul dɛn kin ɛnjɔy dɛnsɛf? (b) Uskayn we pipul dɛn kin ɛnjɔy dɛnsɛf we wi nɔ want fɔ put an pan atɔl? Wetin mek wi nɔ fɔ put an pan dɛn kayn tin ya?
8 Insay di wɔl tide, na tu kayn we de fɔ ɛnjɔy. Di fɔs wan, na di wan we Kristian dɛn nɔ fɔ put an pan atɔl. Di sɛkɔn wan, na di wan we Kristian dɛn fɔ tink gud bifo dɛn put dɛn an pan am. Naw, lɛ wi tɔk bɔt di fɔs wan we Kristian dɛn nɔ fɔ put an pan atɔl.
9 Insay Chapta 1, wi bin lan se sɔm tin dɛn de we pipul dɛn de du fɔ ɛnjɔy dɛnsɛf we di Baybul se wi nɔ fɔ put an pan. Fɔ ɛgzampul, dɛn Intanɛt wɛbsayt, fim, tɛlivishɔn program, ɛn myuzik dɛn we de tɔk bɔt dɛn bad tin dɛn, lɛk wich ɛn mami ɛn dadi biznɛs. Pipul dɛn kin tek dɛn tin ya fɔ ɛnjɔy dɛnsɛf ɛn dɛn kin fil se i fayn. Bɔt di Baybul dɔn tɛl wi klia wan se dɛn tin ya nɔ fayn. So Kristian dɛn nɔ fɔ put an pan dɛn tin ya atɔl. (Di Apɔsul Dɛn Wok [Akt] 15:28, 29; Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 6:9, 10; Rɛvɛleshɔn 21:8) We yu nɔ put an pan dɛn kayn tin ya fɔ ɛnjɔy yusɛf, yu de sho Jiova se yu nɔ “lɛk ɛnitin we bad” ɛn yu dɔn rɛdi fɔ “lɛf fɔ du bad ɔltogɛda.” We yu du dat, yu go sho se yu “biliv Gɔd fɔ tru.”—Lɛta Fɔ Rom 12:9; Sam 34:14; Fɔs Lɛta To Timoti 1:5.
10. Wetin pipul dɛn kin tink bɔt di bad tin dɛn we dɛn de wach? Wetin mek i nɔ fayn fɔ tink da we de?
10 Sɔm pipul dɛn kin fil se i nɔ bad fɔ wach tin dɛn we nɔ fayn. Dɛn kin se, ‘A go wach am na fim ɔ na tɛlivishɔn, bɔt a nɔ go ɛva du am.’ If wi de tink dis kayn we, dat de sho se wi de ful wisɛf ɛn wi de put wisɛf pan denja. (Rid Jɛrimaya 17:9.) If wi de ɛnjɔy fɔ wach tin dɛn we Jiova et, yu fil se wi rili et “ɛnitin we bad”? Wi nɔ go ebul tink fayn we wi de wach ɔ rid bad tin dɛn ɔltɛm. (Sam 119:70; Fɔs Lɛta To Timoti 4:1, 2) I go mek wi bigin du tin dɛn we nɔ fayn ɔ i go mek wi fil se di bad tin dɛn we ɔda pipul dɛn de du, nɔ bad.
11. Us tru tin we Lɛta Fɔ Galeshya 6:7 tɔk bɔt we i kam pan di we aw wi de ɛnjɔy wisɛf?
11 Sɔm Kristian dɛn dɔn du tin dɛn we bad na Jiova in yay bikɔs di tin dɛn we dɛn kin wach nɔ fayn. Di bad tin we kin apin to dɛn kin mek dɛn no se na wetin pɔsin plant na in i go gɛt. (Rid Lɛta Fɔ Galeshya 6:7.) Bɔt yu go ebul avɔyd dɛn bad tin ya mek dɛn nɔ apin to yu. Aw yu go ebul du dat? Na we yu de pik di tin dɛn we yu de wach. We yu du dis, i go mek yu tink bɔt gud tin dɛn, ɛn yu go ɛnjɔy yu layf.—Rid di bɔks we se “Aw A Go Pik di We Aw A De Ɛnjɔy Misɛf?”

12. Aw Lɛta Fɔ Galeshya 6:5 go ɛp wi fɔ pik di we aw wi de ɛnjɔy wisɛf? Wetin wi gɛt we go ɛp wi fɔ disayd aw wi fɔ ɛnjɔy wisɛf?
12 Lɛ wi tɔk naw bɔt di sɛkɔn we aw pipul dɛn kin ɛnjɔy dɛnsɛf. Dis sɛkɔn we de tɔk bɔt tin dɛn we di Baybul nɔ sho klia wan if dɛn fayn ɔ dɛn nɔ fayn. We wi de pik di kayn we aw wi fɔ ɛnjɔy wisɛf, ɔlman we na Kristian gɛt fɔ disayd fɔ insɛf wetin i tink se fayn ɔ nɔ fayn. (Lɛta Fɔ Galeshya 6:5) Bɔt dis nɔ min se wi nɔ gɛt ɛnitin we go ɛp wi fɔ pik di we aw wi go ɛnjɔy wisɛf. Di Baybul gɛt gud gud advays dɛn we go ɛp wi fɔ no aw Jiova de tink.

13. Wetin go mek wi avɔyd fɔ ɛnjɔy wisɛf wit ɛnitin we go mek Jiova nɔ gladi?
13 Wan tin we wi fɔ no na dat, ɔl Kristian dɛn nɔ go ebul fɔ tink di sem we ɔ si tin dɛn di sem we. (Lɛta Fɔ Filipay 1:9) Bɔt Kristian dɛn fɔ no se ɔlman gɛt di we aw i lɛk fɔ ɛnjɔy insɛf. So wi nɔ fɔ fil se ɔl Kristian dɛn fɔ ɛnjɔy dɛnsɛf di sem we. Di mɔ we wi gri mek di Baybul gayd wi maynd ɛn wi at, na di mɔ wi go avɔyd fɔ ɛnjɔy wisɛf wit ɛnitin we go mek Jiova nɔ gladi.—Sam 119:11, 129; Pita In Fɔs Lɛta 2:16.
14. (a) Wetin wi fɔ tink bɔt we wi de fɛn we fɔ ɛnjɔy wisɛf? (b) Aw wi go put Gɔd biznɛs fɔs na wi layf?

Di apɔsul Pɔl bin tɔk se: “Una tek tɛm aw una [de] liv una layf, una nɔ du lɛkɛ dɛn pipul we nɔ gɛt sɛns. Ɛni chans we una gɛt fɔ du gud, una du ɔl wetin una ebul du.” (Lɛta Fɔ Ɛfisɔs 5:15, 16) We yu plan ɔmɔs tɛm yu go spɛn fɔ ɛnjɔy yusɛf, dat go ɛp yu fɔ gɛt tɛm fɔ du wetin “rayt na Gɔd in yay.” Ɛn dis go bɛnifit yu.—Lɛta Fɔ Filipay 1:10.
15. Wetin mek wi nɔ fɔ go nia ɛnitin we go mek wi ɛnjɔy wisɛf di we aw Gɔd nɔ want?
15 We wi de pik di we aw wi de ɛnjɔy wisɛf, i fayn fɔ mek wi nɔ go nia ɛnitin we go mek wi ɛnjɔy wisɛf di we aw Gɔd nɔ want. Wetin dat min?

Semweso, i go fayn mek wi du di sem tin we wi de fɛn gud we fɔ ɛnjɔy wisɛf. Kristian we gɛt sɛns nɔ go want fɔ ɛnjɔy insɛf di we aw Gɔd nɔ want. Bɔt nɔto dat nɔmɔ, i go fayn bak fɔ avɔyd ɛniwan we wi tink se i nɔ tu bad ɔ we gɛt tin dɛn we go pwɛl wi padi biznɛs wit Gɔd. (Prɔvabs 4:25-27) We wi rili fala wetin Gɔd in Wɔd se, dat go ɛp wi fɔ avɔyd ɛnitin we go mek wi ɛnjɔy wisɛf di we aw Gɔd nɔ want.

16. (a) Aw wi go sho se wi de tink lɛk aw Jiova de tink we i kam pan di we aw wi de ɛnjɔy wisɛf? (b) Aw pɔsin go sho se i de obe Gɔd ɔltɛm?

Wan pan di pipul dɛn we rayt di Sam buk bin tɔk se: “Lɛ ɔl udat se i lɛk PAPA GƆD, et bad.” (Di Sam Dɛm 97:10) Di kayn tin we wi kin pik fɔ ɛnjɔy wisɛf kin sho if wi rili et wetin Jiova et.

If yu de du dis, i go mek yu du wetin Jiova want ɔltɛm.—Sɛkɛn Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 3:18.
