3 Hom mma yɛnhwɛ kyerɛwsɛm a adzesua yi gyina do no bio. (Kenkan John 13:34, 35.) Nkorɔfo besi dɛn ehu hɔn a wɔyɛ nokwar Christianfo? Bible no ka dɛ, nokwar Christianfo bɛda ɔdɔ edzi akyerɛ hɔnho. Naaso ɔnnka dɛ wɔbɛyɛ nkorɔfo a bɔn nnyi hɔnho. Afei so, hyɛ no nsew dɛ Jesus annka dɛ: ‘Ɔnam yi do na hom bohu dɛ hom yɛ m’esuafo.’ Mbom ɔkaa dɛ: “Ɔnam yi do na nyimpa nyina bohu dɛ hom yɛ m’esuafo.” Ntsi dza nna Jesus repɛ akyerɛ nye dɛ, adze a ɔbɛma n’ekyirdzifo nye hɔn a wɔnnsom Jehovah nyina ehu hɔn a wodzi n’ekyir ankasa nye ɔdɔ mapa a wɔbɛda no edzi akyerɛ hɔnho no.

Naaso, Satan runntum mma nyimpa a wofifi wiadze ne mfɛndzanan nyina mmbɔ mu nnsom wɔ ɔdɔ na koryɛ mu da. Jehovah nkotsee na obotum ayɛ dɛm. Siantsir no nye dɛ ɔdɔ wɔ hɔ yi, ofi Jehovah hɔ na nnyɛ Satan. Ntsi sɛ ɔsom bi mufo botum ada ɔdɔ mapa edzi akyerɛ hɔnho a, nna ɔno gyedɛ Jehovah no sunsum na ne nhyira wɔ hɔn do.

Dɛ nhwɛdo no, onua bi a wɔfrɛ Ian da ho ara kaa dza ohunii da a odzi kan a ɔkɔr Jehovah Adasefo hɔn ehyiadzi ase no. Wɔyɛɛ dɛm ehyiadzi no wɔ agoprama bi a ɔbɛn beebi a ɔtse no. Abosoom kakraabi ansaana ɔrobɔkɔ ehyiadzi no, ɔkɔr dɛm agoprama no do kɔhwɛɛ akansi bi a ɔkɔr do wɔ hɔ no bi. Ɔkaa dɛ: “Sɛ medze hɔn a nna wɔrohwɛ akansi no toto hɔn a nna wɔwɔ ehyiadzi no ase no ho a, muhu dɛ nna hɔn a wɔwɔ ehyiadzi no ase no yɛ soronko koraa. Nna Adasefo no tsew hɔn enyim, woesiesie hɔnho kama, na hɔn mba so ho dwe dɛ.” Ɔtoaa do dɛ: “Dza ɔkyɛn ne nyina no, nna muhu dɛ wɔwɔ akomatɔyamu na hɔn asomu so dwe hɔn. Nna iyi ara nye asetsena a morohwehwɛ.

Ebɛnadze na yebotum esua efi dza ɔyɛe no mu?—John 13:15.
EBƐNADZE NA JESUS YƐE DZE KYERƐƐ DƐ ƆDƆ N’ASOMAFO NO?
11. Ebɛn suban a ɔnnyɛ na James na John daa no edzi? (Hwɛ mfonyin no so.)
11 Nna Jesus nnhwɛ kwan dɛ n’ekyirdzifo no bɛyɛ hɔn adze pɛpɛɛpɛ tse dɛ mbrɛ bɔn biara nnyi hɔn ho. Mbom ofii ɔdɔ mu boaa hɔn ma wɔsesaa suban a nna ɔnnyɛ a wɔwɔ no ama Jehovah aagye hɔn ato mu. Ber bi, asomafo no mu beenu, James na John, kaa kyerɛɛ hɔn maame dɛ ɔnkɛka nkyerɛ Jesus na ɔmma hɔn dzibew wɔ Ahendzi no mu. (Matt. 20:20, 21) Dza James na John yɛe no kyerɛ dɛ, nna wɔmema hɔnho do na wɔpɛ dɛ wɔkyerɛ dɛ hɔnho hia kyɛn asomafo nkaa no.—Mbɛ. 16:18.
12. Aso James na John nkotsee na wɔdaa suban a ɔnnyɛ edzi? Kyerɛkyerɛ mu.
12 Dɛm da no, ɔnnyɛ James na John nkotsee na wɔdaa suban a ɔnnyɛ edzi. Bible no ka mbrɛ asomafo nkaa no yɛɛ hɔn adze no ho asɛm dɛ: “Na du no tsee no, wonyaa ebufuw wɔ enuanom beenu no ho.” (Matt. 20:24) Yɛhwɛ a, ɔbɛyɛ dɛ James na John nye asomafo nkaa no kekaa hɔn adwen kyerɛɛ hɔnho paa ma nna ɔnnyɛ agor. Obotum aba dɛ asomafo nkaa no kekaa nsɛm bi dɛ: ‘Hom paa, hom repɛ akyerɛ dɛn? Hom yɛ hom adwen dɛ hom yɛ nyimpa kyɛn obi ehu, nna hom rikebisa dzibew wɔ Ahendzi no mu no? Jesus rokɔ ba nyina, nnyɛ hɛn nyina na yɛnye no nam a?

13 Akasakasa a osii wɔ asomafo no ntamu no, ebɛnadze na Jesus yɛe wɔ ho? No bo emmfuw hɔn. Afei so, ɔannka dɛ ɔrokɔhwehwɛ asomafo afofor a hɔndze, wɔwɔ suban pa, na wɔbrɛ hɔnho adze a wɔbɛda ɔdɔ edzi akyerɛ hɔnho aber nyina. Mbom dza Jesus yɛe nye dɛ, onyaa dɛm mbarimba anokwafo yi ho abotar na ɔnye hɔn susuu nsɛm ho. (Kenkan Matthew 20:25-28.) Nna asomafo no agye obi a ɔyɛ kɛse wɔ hɔn mu no ho kyim pɛn. Ntsi dza yɛreka ho asɛm wɔ ha yi, nna ɔnnyɛ ber a odzi kan a wɔreyɛ dɛm. Na ɔno ekyir so, wɔsanee yɛɛ bio. Naaso iyi nyina mu no, Jesus kɔr do daa ɔdɔ edzi kyerɛɛ hɔn.—Mark 9:34; Luke 22:24.
14. Beebi a Jesus n’asomafo no nyinii no, nna nkorɔfo yɛ hɔn adze dɛn?
14 Ɔda edzi pefee dɛ Jesus hun dɛ beebi a asomafo no tsenae no ka ho bi ntsi na wɔyɛɛ hɔn adze dɛm no.

(Matt. 23:6; fa toto video a wɔato dzin The Front Seats in the Synagogue a ɔwɔ Matthew 23:6 ne study note no mu no ho.) Afei so, nna Jewfo nyamesom mpanyimfo no yɛ hɔnho dɛ wɔtsen kyɛn afofor. f (Luke 18:9-12) Jesus hun dɛ, sɛ beebi a ɔtse dɛm na asomafo no nyinii dze a, nna ɔno obotum aka mbrɛ wosi bu hɔnho nye afofor no. (Mbɛ. 19:11) Nna onyim dɛ n’esuafo no botum edzi mfomdo, ntsi onyaa hɔnho abotar aber a wodzii mfom no. Nna Jesus nyim dɛ wɔwɔ akoma pa.

15. Ebɛnadze na yebotum esua efi akasakasa a osii wɔ James na John nye asomafo nkaa no ntamu no mu?
15 Yebotum esua ndzɛmba pii efi dza osii no mu. James na John dzii mfomdo dɛ wokebisaa dzibew wɔ Ahendzi no mu. Asomafo nkaa no so annyɛ adze. Osiandɛ, wɔmaa dɛm asɛm yi sɛɛ koryɛ a nna ɔwɔ hɔn ntamu no. Naaso Jesus dze, ɔnye asomafo 12 no nyina dzii wɔ ɔdɔ nye ayamuyie mu. Esuadze a ɔwɔ mu nye dɛn?
