(3 John 9) Uzziah hem praod tumas and laek for duim waka wea Jehovah no markem hem for duim. (Mektu Kronikols 26:16-21) Absalom trae switim pipol for sapotim hem bikos hem laek for kamap king.

11. Olsem Ephesus 4:2, 3 storyim, wanem gud samting nao bae kamap taem iumi hambol and worshipim Jehovah?

Waswe, bae mi mekem olketa narawan jealous?’ Bible sei: “Wei bilong man for laekem nogud samting wea body and eye bilong hem laekem, witim tu wei for man show-off witim samting wea hem garem, hem wei bilong pipol long disfala world. Olketa samting hia no kam from Dadi long heven bat hem kam from pipol long world.” (1 John 2:16) Disfala toktok, “Show-off witim samting wea [man] garem,” samfala Bible transleitim olsem, “Laek for luk important.” Olketa Christian no needim olketa narawan for mekem olketa feel olsem olketa important. Bat olketa followim datfala kaonsel lo Bible wea sei: “Iumi mas no praod, no trae for winim narawan, and no jealous long narawan.” (Gal. 5:26) Sapos iumi hambol datwan bae helpem iumi for no garem disfala wei blo world for haem seleva.

16 Iumi need for mekem grow hambol fasin bikos olketa wea praod olketa no “garem gudfala tingting.” (Rome 12:3) Pipol wea praod savve laek raoa tumas and olketa laek for winim olketa narawan. Tingting blo olketa and wanem olketa duim savve mekem olketa seleva and narawan for feel nogud. Sapos olketa no changem tingting blo olketa, bae Satan blindim mind blo olketa.

(Phil. 2:3) And hem savve “God hem againstim olketa wea praod tumas, bat hem kaen tumas long olketa wea hambol.” (1 Pet. 5:5) Olketa wea garem gudfala tingting olketa no laek for kamap enemy blo Jehovah.
