Dastawe iumi thankiu long Jehovah from hem givim iumi “peace bilong God” wea savve protectim tingting bilong iumi for no gohed wari and feel nogud. (Phil. 4:6, 7) From iumi dedicate long Jehovah, iumi savve garem peace witim God and ‘fren gud witim hem.’—Rome 5:1.

2 Bat, hem no kasem taem yet for God mekem peace kamap evriwea long earth. Iumi stap long olketa last day, dastawe iumi kasem staka problem wea savve mekem iumi wari. And tu, iumi stap midolwan pipol wea raf tumas. (2 Tim. 3:1-4) Iumi mas faet againstim Satan tu and olketa laea teaching wea hem mekhae long hem. (2 Cor. 10:4, 5) Bat samting wea savve mekem iumi wari tumas nao hem taem olketa relative wea no worshipim Jehovah againstim iumi. Samfala long olketa maet mekfani long wanem iumi bilivim or sei iumi mekem famili for divaed. Maet olketa sei bae iumi no part long famili sapos iumi gohed worshipim Jehovah. So wanem nao stretfala tingting wea iumi shud garem taem famili againstim iumi? And hao nao iumi savve gohed garem peace taem diswan happen?

STRETFALA TINGTING FOR GAREM TAEM FAMILI AGAINSTIM IUMI

3, 4. (a) Hao nao teaching bilong Jesus hem affectim pipol? (b) Wanem nao savve mekem hem no isi for followim Jesus?

3 Jesus savve teaching bilong hem bae mekem pipol divaed and olketa wea followim hem mas no fraet taem olketa narawan againstim olketa. From diswan olketa famili tu bae no savve garem peace. Jesus sei: “No tingse mi kam for mekem evriwan long earth stap long peace. Mi kam for mekem pipol no stap gud tugeta. Mi kam for mekem son hem againstim dadi bilong hem, dota hem againstim mami bilong hem, and dota-in-law hem againstim mami-in-law bilong hem. Tru tumas, bae enemy bilong man nao olketa wea stap long sem haos witim hem.”—Matt. 10:34-36.

4 Jesus laekem pipol for savve long samting wea bae happen sapos olketa kamap disaepol bilong hem, dastawe hem sei: “No tingse mi kam for mekem evriwan long earth stap long peace.” Really goal bilong Jesus hem for teachim truth abaotem God long pipol and no for mekem famili divaed. (John 18:37) Bat olketa disaepol bilong hem need for savve samfala taem hem bae no isi for followim hem, especially taem olketa gudfala fren or eniwan long famili no insaed long truth.

5. Wanem nao olketa disaepol bilong Jesus feisim?

Nomata olketa mas lusim staka samting, bihaen olketa bae kasem staka samting winim wanem olketa lusim.—Readim Mark 10:29, 30.

Bat iumi mas tingim hao love bilong iumi for God and Christ mas strong winim love wea iumi garem for eniwan. (Matt. 10:37) Iumi mas tingim tu hao Satan savve iusim love wea iumi garem for famili for mekem iumi no faithful long Jehovah. Distaem bae iumi storyim samfala hard samting wea savve kamap and hao iumi savve deal witim datwan.

Nomata olsem, hem important for garem sem tingting olsem Jehovah abaotem marit. Hem sei iumi no fit for separate or divorcem marit partner from hem no worshipim Jehovah.

9. Hao nao dadi or mami savve teachim pikinini for respectim marit partner wea no worshipim Jehovah?

Olsem example, iu need for teachim pikinini bilong iu for obeyim disfala komand long Bible wea sei: “Respectim dadi and mami bilong iufala.” (Eph. 6:1-3) Bat wanem nao iu shud duim sapos marit partner no followim olketa standard long Bible?

Bat iumi mas traem best for minim feeling bilong olketa. Taem iumi lisin long wanem olketa talem, datwan bae helpem iumi for savve why olketa wari abaotem iumi. (Prov. 20:5) Aposol Paul trae for minim “evri didifren kaen man” mekem hem savve preach and teachim gud nius long olketa. Taem iumi duim olsem, diswan savve helpem iumi teachim truth long olketa relative.—1 Cor. 9:19-23.

Bat iumi savve askem holy spirit bilong Jehovah for helpem iumi kaen long olketa relative. Iumi shud trae for no argue witim olketa abaotem biliv bilong olketa. Sapos iumi feel nogud long samting wea olketa talem or duim long iumi, iumi savve followim example bilong olketa aposol. Paul sei: “Taem pipol tok spoelem mifala, mifala askem God for blessim olketa.

(Prov. 12:16, 23) Hem nao samting wea wanfala sista long Australia hem duim. Dadi-in-law bilong hem barava againstim truth and samfala taem hem savve kros. So taem hem and hasband redi for ringim hem, tufala savve prea for Jehovah helpem tufala for story kaen long hem. Tufala ting raonem firstaem olketa story wea bae mekem olketa no argue.

So sapos famili againstim iu bikos iu followim Jesus, depend long Jehovah and askem hem for helpem iu for no givap.
