Just as everybody de die because of Adam, na so everybody go still receive life because of Christ.—1 Cor 15:22.
Bible talk say na the sacrifice of Jesus make Jehovah free us from sin and death. See the way apostle Peter talk about-am. E say: “Una know say no be things wey de spoil like silver or gold them use free una [for Greek na, “use pay the price to free una; use release una”] from the useless life wey una be de live just as una papa-papa them teach una. But them free una with the precious blood of Christ wey be like the blood of lamb wey no get any mark or stain.” (1 Pet. 1:18, 19; ftn.) Because of Jesus sacrifice, we don free from sin and death wey de make us suffer. (Rom. 5:21) Na the precious blood of Jesus make this one possible. We de happy no be small, and we de thank Jehovah and Jesus as them make-am possible for us to dey free. w25.02 5 ¶15-16

Person wey de always watch well go de happy.—Prov. 28:14.
How we fit fight temptation and win? Make we see wetin we fit learn from the young man wey Proverbs chapter 7 talk about. The young man sleep with one woman wey like sex wey no clean. Verse 22 tell us say the young man run follow the woman at once. But other verse before verse 22, show say e don do other things wey lead-am small-small to commit that sin. Make we see the things wey the young man do wey make-am fall for that sin. First, for evening, e “pass the street wey near where the woman de stay.” Then, e waka go the woman house. (Prov. 7:8, 9) The next thing be say, when e see the woman, e no waka leave-am. Instead e allow the woman kiss-am, and e listen to the woman as e de tell-am about the communion sacrifice wey e do so that the young man no go see-am as bad person. (Prov. 7:13, 14, 21) If to say the young man no do all this things, e for fit fight this temptation and win. w24.07 16 ¶8-9; 19 ¶19
