Ɛka kyerɛ yɛn sɛ anigye ne sɛ wobenya kɔmputa wɔ fie, nea wɔde twa video mfonini, telefon, kar, agumadi mu adwinnade a aba so foforo, anaa ntade a ɛyɛ fɛ.

(Mateo 8:20) Na ɛnyɛ sɛ Paulo reda awerɛhow adi bere a ɔkyerɛw eyi sɛ: “Masua sɛ asetra biara a mewɔ mu no, mepene ma ɛdɔɔ me so. Minim ahobrɛase, na minim taamudi nso.

Ɔhene Salomo a na ɔwɔ ade pa biara a sika betumi atɔ no hui sɛ honam fam ahonyade a obi de ne to so no mfa anigye a ɛtra hɔ kyɛ mma.

Obi a ɔkyerɛe sɛ ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn somfo Hiob adamfo buu ne ho trenee ka kyerɛɛ no bere bi sɛ: “[Anigye]ne ɔdesani a Onyankopɔn ka n’anim.” Ɛwom sɛ asɛm yi yɛ nokware de, nanso nea na Elifas nam nsɛm yi so kyerɛ—sɛ Hiob di bɔne a anibere wom bi ho fɔ—no nyɛ nokware. “Nkɔmmɔdomfo” bɛn ara ni! Nanso, bere a akyiri yi Yehowa kaa Hiob anim wɔ ɔdɔ kwan so no, Hiob de ahobrɛase gyee animka no toom, na ɛma onyaa anigye kɛse.—Hiob 5:17; 16:2; 42:6, 10-17.

Yɛn ho a Ɛbɛtew na Yɛadɔ Asomdwoe
Yesu kaa nnipa a wɔwɔ anigye ho asɛm sɛ “wɔn koma mu tew” na ‘wɔyɛ asomdwoefo.’ (Mateo 5:8, 9) Nanso wɔ wiase a ɛhyɛ honam fam ade dodow pɛ asetra ho nkuran mu no, ɛyɛ mmerɛw dɛn ara sɛ pɛsɛmenkominya akɔnnɔ anaa nea ɛho ntew mpo begye ntini wɔ yɛn koma mu!

Bible no bɔ kɔkɔ, a ntease wom sɛ: “Na bɔne nyinaa ntini ne sikapɛ a ebinom dii akyiri yeraa gyidi kwan na wɔde yaw pii wowɔɔ wɔn ho.”—1 Timoteo 6:10.
Sika ho dɔ ma obi nya ahopɛ adwene a ɛmma biribiara nsɔ n’ani, ɔyɛ bonniayɛ ne odifudepɛfo.

Ɛsɛ sɛ Kristofo binom nya boasetɔ wɔ ɔtaa mu: afoforo wɔ sɔhwɛ mu; afoforo nso wɔ sikasɛm tebea a enye mu. Nanso, Yehowa betua boasetɔ ahorow nyinaa so ka, sɛnea Kristoni osuani Yakobo kyerɛw faa Hiob ho no: “Yebu wɔn a wohuu amane tɔɔ wɔn bo ase wɔ mu no [anigyefo].”—Yakobo 5:11.
