Shi yakatswaa amɛjáa mi lɛ, ejaakɛ amɛtsɔɔ tsɔɔmɔi ni ji gbɔmɛi akitai.” (Marko 7:6, 7) Kɛ́ gbɔmɛi ni kɛɔ akɛ amɛjáa Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ tsɔɔ amɛ diɛŋtsɛ amɛsusumɔi, yɛ nɔ ni Biblia lɛ tsɔɔ lɛ najiaŋ lɛ, no lɛ yakatswaa amɛjáa lɛ lɛ.

No hewɔ lɛ amɛyibii lɛ nyɛkɛ aaale amɛ.” Kɛ́ wɔɔwie yɛ gbɛ kroko nɔ lɛ, kɛ́ jamɔ ko jɛ Nyɔŋmɔ ŋɔɔ lɛ, ebaawo yibii kpakpai; shi kɛ́ jamɔ ko jɛ Satan ŋɔɔ lɛ, no lɛ ebaawo yibii fɔji.​—Mateo 7:15-20.

Yesu kɛɛ akɛ: “Kɛji nyɛsumɔɔ nyɛhe lɛ, no mɛi fɛɛ kɛaale akɛ mikaselɔi ji nyɛ.” Te jamɔi lɛ shɛɔ anɔkwa jamɔ he tɛ ní afo afɔ̃ shi nɛɛ he amɛhaa tɛŋŋ?​—Yohane 13:35; Luka 10:27; 1 Yohane 4:8.

Beni nakai ta lɛ yaa nɔ lolo lɛ, osɔfo ko wie akɛ sɔlemɔ lɛ hiɛnyiɛlɔi “kɛ nitsumɔ ni Nyɔŋmɔ  kɛha amɛ ni amɛtsu lɛ ekpasa shi dã.” Ekɛɛ kɛfata he akɛ: “Wɔ mɛi ni wɔtsɛɔ wɔhe Nyɔŋmɔ sɔɔlɔi lɛ etsɔmɔ Satan sɔɔlɔi.”
