Frankaakyia. Yehowa Adansefo gye di sɛ frankaa a wobɛbɔ wo mu ase ama no anaa wubekyia no yɛ ɔsom mu adeyɛ a mpɛn pii no wɔde ɔman dwom ka ho. Na nea adeyɛ yi kyerɛ ankasa ne sɛ ɔman no anaa akannifo no na nkwagye fi wɔn na ɛnyɛ Onyankopɔn. (Yesaia 43:11; 1 Korintofo 10:14; 1 Yohane 5:21) Akannifo yi mu bi ne tete Babilon hene Nebukadnesar.

Ná Hebrifo mmiɛnsa a wɔfrɛ wɔn Sadrak, Mesak, ne Abed-Nego no nim sɛ wɔankotow ohoni no a, wobetumi akum wɔn, nanso wɔanyɛ.—Daniel, ti 3.

Nnansa yi ara nhoma a yɛaka ho asɛm no kae sɛ ɔman nnwom “da ɔmampɛ honhom adi, na mpɛn pii no emu nsɛm yɛ adesrɛ a wɔde to Onyankopɔn anim de hwehwɛ n’akwankyerɛ ne ahobammɔ ma ɔman no anaa wɔn akannifo.” Enti sɛ Yehowa nkoa ka sɛ frankaakyia ne ɔman nnwom fa ɔsom ho a, wonim nea wɔreka. Bere a nhoma The American Character rekyerɛ nea enti a Yehowa Adansefo mmofra nkyia frankaa anaa wɔnka ɔman ntam wɔ U.S. sukuu ahorow mu no, ɛkae sɛ: “Afei Asɛnnibea Kunini no ankasa agye atom wɔ asɛnni mu sɛ saa amanne a wɔyɛ no daa yi yɛ ɔsom mu adeyɛ.”
