10 Bible talem finis hao long olketa last day “pipol bae tingim olketa seleva nomoa.” (2 Tim. 3:1, 2) So iumi no sapraes long wei wea disfala world hem encouragem man for tinghae long seleva. Wanfala buk storyim hao long olketa year bilong 1970, olketa start for garem staka buk wea givim advaes for pipol.

11 Maet diswan mekem iu tingim samting wea Satan talem bifor. Satan encouragem Eve for duim sem samting. Hem sei tufala bae kamap olsem God, and savve disaedem wanem hem gud and wanem hem nogud. (Jenesis 3:5) Distaem, staka tinghae tumas long olketa seleva, and olketa tingse no eniwan, nomata God tu, fit for talem olketa abaotem wanem nao hem stret and no stret. Diswan barava showaot klia long tingting bilong pipol abaotem marit.

So hem barava tru, iumi lukim hao wei for no respectim marit hem barava krangge tingting.
for olowe taem hem sei: “Man hemi mas lusim mami an dadi blong hem, an hemi mas joen wetem waef blong hem, an tufala bae i kamap wanfala nomoa.” (13. Wanem nao wanfala reason why Jehovah heitim pipol wea praod?

Wanfala reason hem bikos pipol wea praod and lovem olketa seleva followim wei bilong Satan for mekhae long hemseleva. Tingim hao nomata Jesus nao helpem Jehovah for creatim evri samting, Satan hem tingse Jesus shud baodaon and worshipim hem! (Matt. 4:8, 9; Col. 1:15, 16) Pipol wea garem kaen wei olsem for tinghae tumas long seleva, barava showimaot hao wisdom bilong disfala world hem krangge samting.
WANEM BIBLE TALEM ABAOTEM WEI FOR TINGIM SELEVA
14. Hao nao Rome 12:3 helpem iumi for garem balance tingting abaotem iumiseleva?
