Di wan dɛn we de du wetin Jiova de tɛl dɛn gɛt rɛspɛkt fɔ dɛnsɛf, dɛn layf gɛt minin, ɛn dɛn gɛt tru tru gladi-at. (Sam 19:7-11) Bɔt di wan dɛn we nɔ de gri fɔ du wetin Jiova de tɛl dɛn de sɔfa bikɔs dɛn de du di tin dɛn we di bɔdi want. Notis wetin wan man we nem Ili se bɔt wetin kin apin we wi nɔ gri fɔ du wetin Gɔd tɛl wi. In mama ɛn papa we mɛn am bin lɛk Jiova. Bɔt we Ili na bin tineja, i bin disayd fɔ fala bad padi dɛn.

11. Wetin na di tin dɛn we Jiova et?
11 Lan fɔ et wetin Jiova et. (Sam 97:10) Di Baybul mek wi no se Jiova et ‘pɔsin we de fil tu gud bɔt insɛf, pɔsin we lɛk fɔ lay, ɛn pɔsin we de kil fɔ natin.’ (Prɔv. 6:16, 17) I et bak ‘pɔsin we lɛk fɛt-fɛt ɛn pɔsin we de ful pipul dɛn.’ (Sam 5:6) Na bikɔs Jiova rili et dɛn abit dɛn de ɛn di tin dɛn we dɛn bin de du mek i bin dɔnawe wit ɔl di bad pipul dɛn we bin de insay Noa in tɛm, bikɔs dɛn bin ful-ɔp di wɔl wit fɛt-fɛt.

Gɔd nɔ de gri fɔ tek dɛn wɔship, ɛn i go jɔj dɛn fɔ wetin dɛn de du.—Mal. 2:13-16; Ibru. 13:4.
12. Wetin i min fɔ “rili et wetin wikɛd”?
12 Jiova want wi fɔ “rili et wetin wikɛd.” (Rom. 12:9) Di wɔd dɛn fɔ “rili et” min se yu nɔ want fɔ gɛt natin fɔ du wit sɔntin; yu nɔ ivin want fɔ si am sɛf. Imajin aw yu go fil if pɔsin tɛl yu fɔ it rɔtin it. Sɔntɛm yu go ivin fil sik we yu tink bɔt am. Semweso, wi nɔ fɔ ivin tink bɔt fɔ du di tin dɛn we Jiova se bad.

14. Wetin di tin dɛn we wi de tɔk de sho bɔt wi? Us kwɛstyɔn dɛn wi fɔ ansa?
14 Kɔntrol wetin yu de tɔk. Jizɔs bin tɔk se: “Ɛnitin we kɔmɔt na pɔsin in mɔt kɔmɔt na in at.” (Mat. 15:18) Fɔ tru, di tin dɛn we wi kin tɔk de sho udat wi rili bi insay. So aks yusɛf dɛn kwɛstyɔn dɛn ya: ‘A kin tɔk di tru pan ɔl we a no se dat go mek a gɛt prɔblɛm? As mared pɔsin, a kin tek tɛm lɛ a nɔ mek pɔsin we a nɔ mared to fil se a want am? A kin tray nɔ fɔ gɛt natin fɔ du wit rud rud tɔk dɛn? A kin tek tɛm tɔk we pɔsin mek a vɛks?’ I go rili fayn fɔ tek tɛm tink bɔt dɛn kwɛstyɔn dɛn de. Di tin dɛn we yu de tɔk tan lɛk bɔtin dɛn pan klos. If yu lus di bɔtin dɛn pan di klos, i go izi fɔ mek yu pul di klos. Semweso, if yu du yu bɛst fɔ pul kɔmɔt dɛn rud rud tɔk dɛn, bad wɔd, ɛn lay pan di tin dɛn we yu de tɔk, i go izi fɔ mek yu lɛf yu ol abit dɛn.

Wi fɔ du dɛn tin dɛn ya fɔ mek wi gɛt klin kɔnshɛns ɛn gɛt di op fɔ ɛnjɔy layf we go de sote go. (Jɔn 17:3; 1 Pit. 3:21) Mɛmba se Jiova nɔ go chenj di we aw i de du tin fɔ mek wi gladi. Bifo dat, na wi nid fɔ chenj udat wi bi ɛn obe di tin dɛn we i de tɛl wi fɔ du.—Ayz. 1:16-18; 55:9.
16. Wetin mek yu fɔ mekɔp yu maynd fɔ kɔntinyu fɔ fɛt fɔ avɔyd di bad tin dɛn we di bɔdi want?

Pan ɔl we Marisio dɔn de sav Jiova fɔ lɔng tɛm naw, i se: “Fɔ tɔk tru, tɛm dɛn de we a kin nid fɔ fɛt fɔ avɔyd di bad tin dɛn we di bɔdi want.” Bɔt i nɔ de alaw dis fɔ pwɛl in at. Bifo dat, i tɔk se: “A kin gladi bikɔs a no se we a nɔ du di bad tin dɛn we di bɔdi want, dat de mek Jiova gladi fɔ mi.”d
