²² Yesu baatsu egbɛhe akɛ “shitee lɛ kɛ wala lɛ” he nii yɛ Paradeiso lɛ mli. (Yohane 11:25) Ebaatee gbɔmɛi akpekpei abɔ shi, ni ebaaha amɛ hegbɛ ní amɛhi shi kɛya naanɔ yɛ Paradeiso yɛ shikpɔŋ nɔ. (Yohane 5:28, 29) Feemɔ ekomefeemɔ ní baaba beni nanemɛi kɛ wekumɛi ní sumɔɔ amɛhe, ní gbele egbala amɛteŋ bei babaoo lɛ fuaa amɛhe atuu, ní amɛmli filiɔ amɛ kɛ miishɛɛ diɛŋtsɛ lɛ he mfoniri okwɛ! Adesai fɛɛ baajie Yehowa yi yɛ ehewalɛ ní ekɛfeɔ nibii ehee ekoŋŋ lɛ hewɔ.

Yehowa yɛ hewalɛ ní ekɛhaa mɔ kuɔ sɛɛ kɛbaa wala mli ekoŋŋ.

24. Mɛni hewɔ wɔbaanyɛ wɔná hekɛnɔfɔɔ akɛ Yehowa baatee gbohii lɛ ashi lɛ, ni mɛɛ hiɛnɔkamɔ esa akɛ wɔteŋ mɔ fɛɛ mɔ abu akɛ ejara wa waa?

²⁴ Jeee akɛ Yehowa yɛ hewalɛ ní ekɛaaha gbohii lɛ aba wala mli ekoŋŋ kɛkɛ, shi moŋ eesumɔ ní efee nakai hu.
