¹⁰ Long resis ya blong laef, we ol Kristin oli joen long hem, ?hu olgeta ya we oli kam blong wajem olgeta? Long Hibrus japta 11, Pol i givim lis blong plante man blong bilif we oli witnes blong Jeova bifo long ol Kristin. Nao hem i raetem se: “Olgeta ya we oli stap bilif strong long God, mo oli witnes blong hem, olgeta oli stap raonabaot long yumi we oli plante we plante. Nao from samting ya . . . yumi mas mekem tingting blong yumi i strong, blong yumi resis long rod ya we i stap long fes blong yumi.” (Hibrus 12:1) Long New World Translation Baebol, hem i yusum tok ya “klaod” blong tokbaot ol man ya we oli plante we i plante. Blong talem tok ya, Pol i no yusum Grik tok we i blong talem wan klaod nomo long skae, we saes blong hem, yumi save luk stret wetem ae blong yumi. No gat. Hem i yusum wan tok we W. E. Vine i eksplenem se i minim “wan bigfala klaod, we i no gat saes blong hem, we i kavremap skae.” I klia se, taem Pol i yusum tok ya hem i stap tingbaot wan bigfala hif blong ol witnes​—we oli plante tumas olsem wan klaod we yumi no save luk stret saes blong hem.

11, 12. (a) ?Olsem wanem ol witnes we oli stanap strong long bilif, bifo Kristin taem, oli save sapotem yumi blong ron long resis ya wetem strong tingting? (b) ?Olsem wanem ‘bigfala klaod ya blong ol witnes’ i save givhan long yumi?

¹¹ ?Ol Kristin ya blong bifo, olgeta nao oli ol man we oli stap wajem mo sapotem yumi long resis ya tede? No gat. Olgeta ya oli ded finis, mo oli stap wet long taem ya we bambae oli laef bakegen. Be, taem olgeta ya oli laef yet oli winim resis blong olgeta, mo eksampel blong olgeta ya i stap yet long Baebol. Taem yumi stadi long Baebol, i olsem we yumi luk laef blong ol man ya long tingting blong yumi mo i olsem we oli stap sapotem yumi blong gohed long resis ya gogo kasem en blong hem.​—Rom 15:4.b

¹² Eksampel, maet yumi kasem traem we i givim jans blong kasem sam samting long wol ya. I gud blong tingbaot olsem wanem Moses i sakemaot ol gudgudfala samting blong Ijip, samting ya i save pusum yumi blong gohed long resis blong yumi. Sipos wan traem we yumi fesem i strong tumas, i gud blong rimemba se Ebraham tu i fesem wan strongfala traem, taem God i askem hem blong kilim pikinini blong hem i ded olsem wan sakrefaes. Samting ya i save leftemap tingting blong yumi blong no lego faet blong yumi blong holem bilif. ‘Bigfala klaod’ ya blong ol witnes i save pulum yumi long resis ya sipos yumi save lukluk klia olgeta wetem ae blong tingting blong yumi.

13. ?Olsem wanem ol Witnes blong Jeova long taem blong yumi, oli givhan long yumi blong gohed long resis ya blong kasem laef?

¹³ Mo tu, yumi gat wan bigfala hif blong ol Witnes blong Jeova long taem blong yumi. !Ol tabu Kristin mo ol man mo woman blong “bigfala kampani” oli givim sam nambawan eksampel long yumi! (Revelesen 7:​9, NW) Wanwan taem yumi save ridim stori blong laef blong olgeta man ya long ol magasin olsem hemia mo ol narafala buk blong Watch Tower Sosaeti.c Taem yumi tingtinggud long bilif blong olgeta, samting ya i leftemap tingting blong yumi blong gohed blong stanap strong kasem en. !Mo i nambawan tumas blong gat ol gudfala fren mo famle we olgeta tu oli stap mekem wok blong Jeova wetem strong bilif, mo we oli sapotem yumi! Yes, i gat plante man we oli pulum yumi blong gohed long resis ya blong kasem laef.

Jusum Wan Spid We i Stret

14, 15. (a) ?From wanem i impoten blong jusum wan spid we i stret? (b) ?From wanem yumi no mas mekem i strong tumas taem yumi putum mak blong yumi kasem?

¹⁴ Man we i ron long wan longfala resis, i mas jusum wan spid we i stret long hem. Buk ya New York Runner i talem se: “Sipos yu statem resis ya kwiktaem tumas, yu sua blong mestem. Samting ya maet i mekem se bambae yu mas traehad bigwan long ol laswan mita blong resis ya, no maet yu lego nomo.” Wan man we i bin ron long ol resis olsem, i tingtingbak se: “Man we i toktok long mifala blong rerem mifala long resis ya i givim woning se: ‘Yufala i no mas resis blong traem kasem ol man we oli ron spid moa long yufala. Yufala i mas resis long prapa spid blong yufala. Sipos no, bambae paoa blong yufala i finis kwiktaem mo maet bambae yufala i lego.’ Mi folem advaes ya, nao samting ya i halpem mi blong ron gogo kasem en blong resis ya.”

¹⁵ Long resis blong kasem laef, ol man blong God oli mas traehad bigwan. (Luk 13:24) Be, disaepol Jemes i raetem se: “Man we i kasem waes blong heven, hem i . . . no stap mekem i strong long ol narafala.” (Jemes 3:​17) I tru se gudfala eksampel blong ol narafala i save leftemap tingting blong yumi blong wok moa. Be, kwaet fasin bambae i halpem yumi blong putum ol mak we yumi naf blong kasem, from we ol mak ya oli stret long laef blong yumi mo long ol samting we yumi save mekem. Baebol i mekem yumi tingbaot se: “Olgeta man wanwan oli mas traem ol wok we olgeta nomo oli mekem. Nao oli save makem we oli kam man olsem wanem from ol wok blong olgeta nomo, i no from wok blong sam narafala man, from we evri man i gat wok blong hem.”​—Galesia 6:4, 5.

16. ?Olsem wanem tingting daon i save halpem yumi blong waesgud long spid we yumi tekem?

¹⁶ Maeka 6:8 i putum kwestin ya blong wekemap tingting blong yumi, se: “?Jeova i askem wanem long yu? . . . Yu mas wokbaot wetem God we tingting blong yu i stap daon.” Tingting daon i minim se yumi luksave se i gat sam samting we bambae yumi no naf blong mekem. ?Yu gat sam problem long saed blong helt no yu olfala, mekem se yu no naf blong mekem plante long wok blong God? Ale, yu no mas letem tingting blong yu i foldaon. Jeova i glad from ol traehad we yu mekem mo ol sakrefaes we yu givim ‘long ol samting we yu gat, i no long ol samting we yu no gat.’​—2 Korin 8:​12; skelem wetem Luk 21:​1-4.

Taem En i Kam Klosap Moa

20. ?Olsem wanem resis ya blong kasem laef bambae i kam strong moa taem en i kam klosap moa?

²⁰ Long resis ya blong kasem laef, yumi mas faet agensem bigfala enemi ya blong yumi, Devel Setan. Taem yumi kam klosap long en, bambae hem i traehad moa blong mekem yumi foldaon, no yumi slou. (Revelesen 12:12, 17) Mo taem yumi luk ol faet, hadtaem blong kasem kakae, ol sik, mo ol narafala hadtaem we oli makem “en blong wol ya,” i no isi blong stap olsem ol man blong talemaot Kingdom we oli givim ful laef blong olgeta i go long God mo we oli holem strong long bilif. (Daniel 12:4; Matiu 24:​3-​14; Luk 21:11; 2 Timoti 3:​1-5) Mo tu, sipos yumi statem resis ya longtaem finis, maet samtaem, yumi gat tingting se en i stap longwe yet. Be, Tok blong God i talem klia long yumi se en bambae i kam. Jeova i talem se bambae hem i no save let. En i stap finis long fored blong yumi.​—Habakuk 2:3; 2 Pita 3:​9, 10.

21. (a) ?Wanem i save mekem yumi strong blong gohed long resis ya blong kasem laef? (b) ?Yumi mas gat strong tingting blong mekem wanem taem yumi luk se en i kam klosap moa?

²¹ Taswe, blong winim resis ya blong kasem laef, yumi mas kasem paoa tru long ol samting we Jeova i givim wetem fasin lav. Ol samting ya we hem i givim i blong fidim yumi long saed blong spirit. Mo tu, yumi nidim kampani blong ol Kristin brata sista blong yumi, we olgeta tu oli stap long resis ya, blong leftemap tingting blong yumi. Ating ol man oli agensem yumi bigwan, no sam samting we yumi no save oli hapen long laef blong yumi, mekem se resis ya i strong moa. Be nating, yumi save stanap strong go kasem en from we Jeova i stap givim “paoa ya we i bigwan tumas.” (2 Korin 4:7) !I leftemap tingting blong save se Jeova i wantem yumi blong finisim resis ya mo win! Wetem strong tingting, “yumi mas resis long rod ya we i stap long fes blong yumi,” we yumi sua fulwan se ‘sipos yumi no kam slak, long stret taem blong hem, yumi save kasem kakae from ol hadwok ya blong yumi.’​—Hibrus 12:1; Galesia 6:9.
