NA Jiova de gi sɛns, ɛn i rɛdi fɔ gi am to ɔda pipul dɛn. Wi rid na Jems 1:5 se: “If ɛni wan pan una want mɔ sɛns fɔ du ɛnitin, mek i aks Gɔd, Gɔd go gi am, bikɔs Gɔd de gi mɔtalman plɛnti tin dɛn ɛn i gladi fɔ du dat.” Wan we fɔ gɛt sɛns na fɔ gri mek Gɔd kɔrɛkt wi.

(Rid Di Ibru Pipul Dɛn 12:5-11.) Bikɔs Gɔd sabi wi gud gud wan, na di rayt we i de kɔrɛkt wi ɔltɛm ɛn na jɔs wetin go ɛp wi. Insay dis atikul, wi go tɔk bɔt 4 we dɛn fɔ kɔrɛkt wisɛf ɛn ɔda pipul dɛn: (1) fɔ tren wisɛf, (2) aw mama ɛn papa fɔ kɔrɛkt dɛn pikin dɛn, (3) di we aw dɛn de kɔrɛkt wi na di kɔngrigeshɔn, (4) sɔntin we at pas di pen we wi kin fil we dɛn kɔrɛkt wi.

Wan brɔda bin rayt se: “A rili gladi fɔ di we aw mi mama ɛn papa dɛn mɛn mi. Dɛn du ɔl wetin dɛn ebul fɔ tich mi di we we i go tɔch mi at.” Dis brɔda se na in mama ɛn papa ɛp am fɔ kam nia Jiova.
