8 Yumi inap soim ol bratasista olsem yumi laikim ol. Tingim ol hevi i painim sampela bratasista long kongrigesen bilong yu. Aposel Pol i tok: “Yumi wan wan i mas tingim ol arapela namel long yumi”! Pol i tok moa olsem, sapos yumi tingim tru ol narapela, orait “yumi no ken lusim pasin bilong bung wantaim.” (Hib. 10:24, 25) Taim yu go long miting, dispela i soim klia olsem yu tingim tru ol wanbilip na yu amamas long lusim sampela haptaim bilong yu long i stap wantaim ol. Na tu, taim yu bekim tok na singim ol song long miting, dispela bai strongim ol wanbilip bilong yu.—Kol. 3:16.

Tingim: Sapos 2-pela sipsip i stap antap long maunten, na narapela 2-pela sipsip i stap long veli, na narapela sipsip i kaikai gras long narapela hap, yu ting yumi inap kolim dispela 5-pela sipsip olsem wanpela lain sipsip? Lain sipsip i save bung wantaim na stap aninit long lukaut bilong wasman. Olsem tasol, yumi no inap bihainim Wasman bilong yumi sapos yumi stap yumi yet. Yumi mas bung wantaim ol arapela wanbilip Kristen bambai yumi inap stap olsem “wanpela lain sipsip i gat wanpela wasman.”
10 Taim yumi go long miting, yumi strongim pasin wanbel namel long lain brata bilong yumi.

Tasol Jisas i tok promis olsem em bai givim ol wanpela famili husat bai laikim ol na lukautim ol.

(Ais. 30:20, 21) Taim ol nupela man i kam long ol miting bilong yumi, ol inap tok: “Tru tumas, God i stap namel long yupela.” (1 Kor. 14:23-25) Jehova i save yusim holi spirit long blesim ol miting na stiaim program bilong miting. Olsem na long taim bilong miting, i olsem yumi putim yau long tok i kam long God, na pilim tru pasin bilong em long lukautim yumi. Dispela i save kirapim yumi long i go klostu long em.
14 Jisas i tok: “Taim tupela o tripela i bung long nem bilong mi, orait mi stap namel long ol.” (Mat. 18:20) Tok bilong Jisas i stret long ol miting bilong yumi. Jisas i stap olsem het bilong kongrigesen, na em i “wokabaut namel” long ol kongrigesen bilong ol manmeri bilong God. (Rev. 1:20–2:1) Tingim!

15 Yumi soim olsem yumi sapotim wok bos bilong God. Maski Jehova i tokim yumi long i go long ol miting, em i no fosim yumi long mekim ol samting yumi kisim save long en. (Ais. 43:23, 24) Olsem na yumi yet i mas soim Jehova olsem yumi laikim em na yumi sapotim tru wok bos bilong em. (Rom 6:17) Ating wanpela bosman long ples wok inap putim presa long yumi mas lusim ol miting bambai yumi ken mekim wok ovataim. Gavman inap putim lo i tambuim yumi long bung wantaim long mekim lotu. Olsem na ol inap strong long yumi mas baim sampela fi sapos yumi brukim dispela lo, na ol inap putim yumi long kalabus, o kilim yumi i dai. O ating yumi laik mekim sampela samting bilong kisim amamas na yumi no laik i go long miting. Long kain taim olsem, yumi mas mekim disisen: Yumi bai stap daun long husat? (Apo. 5:29) Taim yumi sapotim wok bos bilong God, yumi mekim em i belgut.—Snd. 27:11.

16 Bihain long bikpela mirakel i kamap long Pentikos 33 C.E., ol Kristen i no lusim pasin bilong bung wantaim, nogat. “Ol i wok yet long putim tingting bilong ol i go long ol tok bilong ol aposel, na long helpim narapela narapela.” (Apo. 2:42) Tok Grik ol i tanim olsem “putim tingting bilong ol i go” i makim olsem man i wok hat tru long sanap strong na karim hevi. Gavman Rom i mekim wok bos na ol lida bilong lotu Juda i birua long ol Kristen, olsem na i hatwok tru long ol Kristen i go long ol miting. Maski i olsem, ol i no surik long bung wantaim.
