(Mat. 20:28) Yehowa suɔmɔnaa nii ji akɛ, “mɔ fɛɛ mɔ ni heɔ [Yesu nɔ] yeɔ lɛ hiɛ akakpata, shi moŋ ená naanɔ wala”!—Yoh. 3:16.

⁵ Mɛni tooi lɛ feɔ kɛtsɔɔ akɛ amɛkpɛlɛɔ Yesu Kristo nɔ akɛ amɛkwɛlɔ? Yesu kɛɛ akɛ: “Mitooi lɛ nuɔ migbee, ni mile amɛ, ni amɛnyiɛɔ misɛɛ.” (Yoh. 10:27) Kɛ́ tooi lɛ bo Tookwɛlɔ Kpakpa lɛ gbɛtsɔɔmɔi atoi be fɛɛ be lɛ, no tsɔɔ akɛ amɛmiinu egbee. Kɛfata he lɛ, esa akɛ amɛbo mɛi ni ehala ni amɛye amɛbua lɛ kɛ tooi lɛ akwɛmɔ lɛ hu atoi. Yesu hala ebɔfoi lɛ kɛ ekaselɔi lɛ koni amɛkwɛ etooi lɛ. Ekɛɛ amɛ ni ‘amɛtsɔɔ etooi lɛ’ anii ni ‘amɛlɛ’ amɛ hu. (Mat. 28:20; nyɛkanea Yohane 21:15-17.) Beni amɛtee nɔ amɛshiɛ sane kpakpa lɛ, mɛi babaoo batsɔmɔ Kristo kaselɔi, ni no hewɔ lɛ, Yesu to gbɛjianɔ koni tookwɛlɔi ni eda yɛ mumɔŋ akwɛ asafoi lɛ anɔ.—Efe. 4:11, 12.

No hewɔ lɛ, kɛ́ wɔbo asafoŋ onukpai lɛ atoi lɛ, etsɔɔ akɛ wɔbuɔ Yehowa kɛ Yesu, ni ji Tookwɛlɔi enyɔ ni fe fɛɛ lɛ. (Luka 10:16) Enɛ ji yiŋtoo titri hewɔ ni wɔbaa wɔhe shi wɔhaa asafoŋ onukpai lɛ. Shi esa akɛ wɔbo amɛgbɛtsɔɔmɔi atoi yɛ yiŋtoi krokomɛi hu ahewɔ.

Asafoŋ onukpai lɛ ekpɛɛɛ yiŋ amɛhaaa nyɛmimɛi lɛ yɛ bɔ ni esa akɛ amɛhi shi amɛha lɛ he.

Amɛbuɔ tooku lɛ he kɛjɛɔ mɛi ni miitao afite nyɛmimɛi lɛ ahemɔkɛyeli lɛ ahe. Bɔfo Petro bɔ Kristofoi kɔkɔ ni  amɛkwɛ amɛhe nɔ jogbaŋŋ yɛ “amale gbalɔi” kɛ “amale tsɔɔlɔi” ni baabɔ mɔdɛŋ akɛ ‘amɛlaka susumai ní nane mɔko shi lɛ’ ahe.
