Man wea evritaem iusim olketa samting olsem hem no ting long laef olsem samting wea holy. Long tingting bilong God, olketa samting olsem hem no klin.

And hem tinghae long wei wea iumi duim best for showimaot iumi ting long laef bilong iumi olsem wanfala nambawan present from hem.

Bae iumi no speed tumas long wanfala trak and bae iumi stap klia long olketa sports wea raf and danger tumas. (Psalm 11:5) Law bilong God for Israel bifor hem olsem: “Sapos iu buildim wanfala niu haos [wea garem flat ruf], iu mas mekem smolfala wall for ruf bilong iu, mekem haos bilong iu no guilty long blood from wei wea samwan foldaon from hem.” (Deuteronomy 22:8) So iumi savve followim datfala principle taem iumi chekim for mek sure olketa samting olsem floor and ladder long haos hem no rotten, nogud man hem foldaon and kasem bigfala kill. Sapos iu garem trak, mek sure hem sef for draevem. No letem haos or trak bilong iu kamap danger samting long iu or olketa narawan.

9. Sapos iumi respectim laef, wanem nao iumi bae no duim long olketa animal?

God letem man for killim dae animal sapos hem bae kaikaim datwan or sapos hem duim datwan for protectim pipol from danger. (Genesis 3:21; 9:3; Exodus 21:28) Bat wei for raf long olketa animal, no keepim olketa gud, or killim olketa dae nating hem rong and datwan hem barava no showimaot respect for wei wea laef hem holy.—Proverbs 12:10.

10. Hao nao Jehovah showimaot laef and blood hem semsem nomoa long hem?

¹⁰ Bihaen Cain killim dae brata bilong hem Abel, Jehovah sei  olsem long hem: “Blood bilong brata bilong iu hem singaot kam long mi from graon.” (Genesis 4:10) Taem God storyim blood bilong Abel, really samting hem storyim nao hem laef bilong hem. Cain hem endim laef bilong Abel, so Jehovah mas panisim Cain. Hem olsem blood bilong Abel, wea datwan hem laef bilong hem, singaot go long Jehovah for hem mas stretem datwan. Wei wea blood minim laef hem showaot moa bihaen long Flood long taem bilong Noah. Bifor long Flood, olketa man kaikaim nomoa olketa frut, grain, nat, and olketa nara samting olketa growim long garden. Bihaen long Flood, Jehovah talem Noah and olketa son bilong hem: “Iufala savve kaikaim evri animal wea laef. Mi givim finis olketa plant for kaikaim, and distaem mi givim evri samting long iufala.” Nomata olsem, Jehovah putim wanfala tambu, hem sei: “Bat iufala mas no kaikaim meat wea soul [or laef] bilong hem stap insaed long hem yet, wea datwan nao hem blood bilong hem.” (Genesis 1:29; 9:3, 4) So hem showaot klia hao Jehovah ting long laef and blood olsem sem samting.

11. Wanem wei for iusim blood nao God tambuim start kam long taem bilong Noah?

¹¹ Iumi showimaot respect for blood long wei for no kaikaim datwan. Long datfala Law wea Jehovah givim for olketa Israelite, hem talem disfala komand: “Eni man . . . wea taem hem go hunting hem kasem wanfala wild animal or wanfala bird wea fitim for kaikaim, hem mas pourimaot blood bilong hem and kavarem witim graon. . . . Mi talem olsem long olketa son bilong Israel: ‘Iufala mas no kaikaim blood bilong enikaen animal.’” (Leviticus 17:13, 14) Long datfala taem, olketa Israelite mas still obeyim datfala komand for no kaikaim blood bilong olketa animal wea God givim long Noah 800 year bifor. Tingting bilong Jehovah hem klia, olketa servant bilong Hem savve kaikaim meat bilong animal bat no blood bilong hem. Olketa mas pourimaot datfala blood long graon, wea datwan hem olsem wei for givim laef bilong datfala animal go bak long God.

12. Holy spirit muvim olketa aposol long first century for talem wanem komand wea still fitim for olketa Christian obeyim distaem tu?

¹² Olketa Christian mas obeyim wanfala komand olsem tu. Olketa aposol and olketa narawan wea lead long first century hipap  for disaedem wanem nao olketa komand wea evriwan insaed Christian kongregeson mas obeyim. Olketa disaed olsem: “Holy spirit and mifala tu tingse hem gud for no putim samfala moa hevi long iufala, bat only olketa important samting hia, olsem wei for gohed for stap klia from olketa samting wea pipol sakrifaesim long olketa idol and from blood and from olketa animal wea olketa skwisim nek bilong olketa [wea minim blood still stap insaed long meat] and from fornication.” (Acts 15:28, 29; 21:25) So iumi mas ‘gohed for stap klia long blood.’ Long tingting bilong God, hem barava important for duim datwan long sem wei wea hem barava important for no worshipim idol, and no duim dirty fasin.

13. Talem example wea showimaot hao komand for stap klia long blood hem minim tu for stap klia long olketa blood transfusion.

¹³ Waswe, datfala komand for stap klia long blood hem tambuim olketa blood transfusion tu? Ia. For minim diswan, tingim sapos wanfala doctor talem iu for stap klia long alcohol. Waswe, bae iu tingse hem gud for putim alcohol stret go insaed body bilong iu long sem wei wea doctor savve givim bag wata long man wea sik? Nomoa nao! Olsem tu, wei for stap klia long blood minim iumi bae no iusim eni wei moa for putim blood insaed body bilong iumi. So datfala komandment for stap klia long blood minim iumi shud no letem eniwan givim iumi wanfala blood transfusion.

14, 15. Sapos olketa talem wanfala Christian hem mas acceptim blood transfusion, wanem nao bae hem duim, and why nao olsem?

¹⁴ Waswe sapos wanfala Christian hem garekil nogud or hem needim wanfala big operation? Maet olketa doctor sei sapos hem no acceptim wanfala blood transfusion hem bae dae. Datfala Christian no laek for dae. From hem ting long laef bilong hem olsem wanfala nambawan present from God, hem bae acceptim olketa nara treatment wea no iusim blood long rongfala wei.

¹⁵ Waswe, Christian bae brekem law bilong God mekem hem savve gohed laef for samfala year moa insaed disfala world? Jesus hem sei: “Eniwan wea laek for sevem soul [wea minim laef] bilong hem bae lusim datwan; bat man wea lusim soul bilong hem from hem obeyim mi bae kasem bak soul bilong hem.” (Matthew  16:25) Iumi no laek for dae. Bat sapos iumi brekem law bilong God from iumi trae for sevem laef bilong iumi, maet datwan mekem iumi no kasem laef olowe nao. So iumi wise sapos iumi trustim hao law bilong God hem stret, and trustim hao sapos iumi dae, God wea givim laef bae rememberim iumi taem hem resurrectim olketa wea dae finis and givim long iumi moa datfala nambawan present, laef.—John 5:28, 29; Hebrews 11:6.

16. Saed long blood, wanem nao olketa servant bilong God disaed strong for duim?

¹⁶ Distaem, olketa faithful servant bilong God barava disaed strong for followim samting wea hem talem abaotem blood. Olketa bae no kaikaim eni samting wea garem blood insaed. And olketa bae no acceptim eni treatment wea iusim blood. * Olketa feel sure hao God, wea creatim blood, savve long wanem nao best samting for olketa. Waswe, iu bilivim datwan tu?

17. Long Israel bifor, wanem nao only wei for iusim blood wea Jehovah God acceptim?

¹⁷ Law bilong Moses mekhae long only wei for iusim blood wea stret. Jehovah givim wanfala komand long olketa Israelite abaotem worship wea hem markem for olketa. Hem sei: “Soul [wea minim laef] bilong animal hem insaed long blood bilong hem, and miseleva nao putim antap long altar for iufala  for kavarem sin bilong soul bilong iufala, bikos blood nao hem kavarem sin.” (Leviticus 17:11) Taem olketa Israelite sin, olketa savve kasem forgiveness taem olketa sakrifaesim wanfala animal and pourimaot samfala blood bilong hem long altar long tabernacle, and then bihaen olketa buildim temple, olketa pourimaot long altar bilong temple. Only stretfala wei for iusim blood nao hem long olketa sakrifaes olsem.

18. Olketa wanem gud samting and blessing nao iumi savve kasem from blood bilong Jesus?

¹⁸ Olketa tru Christian no anda long Law bilong Moses, dastawe olketa no sakrifaesim olketa animal and putim blood bilong olketa long wanfala altar. (Hebrews 10:1) Nomata olsem, wei wea olketa iusim blood long altar long Israel bifor hem piksarem datfala sakrifaes wea barava spesol tumas, hem nao, sakrifaes bilong Son bilong God, Jesus Christ. Long Chapter 5 long disfala buk, iumi lanem hao Jesus givim laef bilong hem for iumi taem hem letem olketa pourimaot blood bilong hem olsem wanfala sakrifaes.  Then hem go long heven and givim laef bilong hem wantaem for olowe long God wea bae iusim datwan for sevem olketa man. (Hebrews 9:11, 12) Datwan mekem wei for iumi savve kasem forgiveness for olketa sin bilong iumi and garem chance for laef olowe. (Matthew 20:28; John 3:16) Samting wea kamaot from diswan showimaot hao datfala wei wea God iusim blood hem barava important! (1 Peter 1:18, 19) Only wei for kasem salvation nao hem for showimaot faith long samting wea blood bilong Jesus savve duim for iumi.

19. Wanem nao iumi mas duim for mekem iumi “no guilty long blood bilong eni man”?

¹⁹ Iumi savve barava thankiu long Jehovah God for laef wea hem wanfala nambawan present! And datwan shud muvim iumi for talem olketa narawan hao wei for garem faith long sakrifaes bilong Jesus bae mekem olketa garem chance for laef olowe. Samting wea bae muvim iumi for duim disfala waka witim strong hem sapos iumi garem sem wei for tingim laef bilong pipol olsem Jehovah. (Ezekiel 3:17-21) Sapos iumi strong for duim disfala responsibility, iumi bae fit for talem sem samting olsem Paul wea sei: “Mi no guilty long blood bilong eni man, bikos mi no hol bak for talem iufala evri kaonsel bilong God.” (Acts 20:26, 27) Nambawan wei for showimaot iumi barava tinghae long laef and blood hem for talem pipol abaotem God and plan bilong hem.
