8, 9. (a) Us kwaliti dɛn go ɛp wi fɔ win di prayz? (b) Wetin go ɛp wi fɔ kɔntinyu fɔ gɛt pis if wi kɔmpin Kristian mek wi vɛks?
8 Wi nɔ fɔ alaw grɔj fɔ mek wi nɔ win di prayz. Pɔl bin tɛl Kristian dɛn wetin dɛn bin nid fɔ du. I bin se: “Una na Gɔd yon pipul; we i lɛk una, i pik una fɔ bi in yon pipul. Dat fɔ mek una gɛt sɔri at fɔ una kɔmpin, una fɔ de du gud to una kɔmpin, una nɔ fɔ tink se una bɛtɛ pas ɔda pipul, una nɔ fɔ dil wit ɔda pipul traŋa wan, ɛn una fɔ de bia wit pipul.

(Lɛta Fɔ Kɔlɔse 3:15) Wi ɔl lɛk di sem Gɔd, wi de prich di sem mɛsej, ɛn bɔku pan wi gɛt di sem prɔblɛm dɛn. If wi de du gud, lɛk wi kɔmpin dɛn, ɛn fɔgiv dɛn, di kɔngrigeshɔn go kɔntinyu fɔ gɛt wanwɔd ɛn wi go pe atɛnshɔn pan di prayz.
10, 11. (a) Wetin mek i bad fɔ jɛlɔs? (b) Wetin wi go du fɔ lɛ wi nɔ jɛlɔs wi kɔmpin dɛn we go mek wi nɔ win di prayz?
10 We wi de jɛlɔs wi kɔmpin, dat nɔ go mek wi win di prayz. Ɛgzampul dɛn na di Baybul dɔn sho se i bad fɔ de jɛlɔs wi kɔmpin dɛn. Fɔ ɛgzampul, Ken jɛlɔs Ebɛl ɛn dat bin mek i kil am. Kora, Detan, ɛn Abiram bin jɛlɔs Mozis ɛn dɛn bin tɔn agens am. Kiŋ Sɔl bin jɛlɔs Devid ɛn tray fɔ kil am. Wetin Gɔd in Wɔd se na tru we i tɔk se: “Ɛni say we pipul de jɛlɔs dɛn kɔmpin ɛn dɛn want ɔltin fɔ dɛnsɛf, una nɔ go fɛn wanwɔd de; na soso bad lib [go de] de.”—Jems 3:16.
11 If wi tray tranga wan fɔ mek wi lɛk wi kɔmpin dɛn ɛn du gud to dɛn, i nɔ go izi fɔ mek wi jɛlɔs dɛn. Gɔd in Wɔd se: “If una lɛk una kɔmpin mɔtalman una go de bia wit dɛn; una go gɛt gud at fɔ dɛn; una nɔ go de jɛlɔs dɛn.” (Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 13:4) Fɔ mek shɔ se wi nɔ de jɛlɔs wi kɔmpin dɛn, wi fɔ tray fɔ si tin dɛn di we aw Jiova de si dɛn. Wi nid fɔ si wi brɔda ɛn sista dɛn as difrɛn pat dɛn pan wan bɔdi, we na di kɔngrigeshɔn. Di Baybul se: “If wan pat gɛt rɛspɛkt, ɔl di ɔda pat dɛn go gladi wit am.” (Fɔs Lɛta Fɔ Kɔrint 12:16-18, 26) If gud tin apin to wan pan wi brɔda dɛn, wi fɔ gladi fɔ am wi nɔ fɔ jɛlɔs am. Tink bɔt di gud ɛgzampul we Kiŋ Sɔl in pikin Jonɛtan bin sɛt fɔ wi. Pan ɔl we na Jonɛtan bin fɔ bi kiŋ, i nɔ bin jɛlɔs Devid we dɛn pik am fɔ bi kiŋ. I bin ɛnkɔrej ɛn sɔpɔt Devid.
