No gat. Pol i givim advaes long ol Kristin long Korin se: “Naoia i gud yufala i fogivim hem, yufala i leftemap tingting blong hem bakegen. Sipos no, bambae hem i harem nogud tumas, nao bambae tingting blong hem i foldaon olgeta. Mi mi talem long yufala, se plis yufala i go mekem hem i save we yufala i lavem hem.” (2 Korin 2:​7, 8) Plante taem, ol man we oli tanem tingting blong olgeta from sam nogud fasin we oli bin mekem, oli save harem nogud long filing blong olgeta mo tingting blong olgeta i save foldaon kwiktaem nomo. Taswe, yumi mas soemaot klia long olgeta se yumi laekem olgeta mo se Jeova tu i laekem olgeta. (Jeremaea 31:3; Rom 1:​12) Samting ya i impoten tumas. ?From wanem?
