(Bɔfoi 17:11) Yehowa asafo lɛ efee woji babaoo ni obaanyɛ okase. Nyɛmimɛi pii ekase asafo lɛ woji ni kɔɔ wɔ-Bɔlɔ lɛ kɛ nibii ni ebɔ lɛ ahe, ni eye ebua amɛ waa.

¹⁰ Biblia lɛ kɛɔ akɛ: ‘Hemɔkɛyeli lɛ, kɛ́ nitsumɔi fataaa he lɛ, eji hemɔkɛyeli ni egbo.’ (Yakobo 2:17) Kɛ́ oyɛ nɔmimaa lɛɛlɛŋ akɛ nibii ni oheɔ oyeɔ lɛ ji anɔkwale lɛ, okɛ onifeemɔi baatsɔɔ. Nifeemɔi nɛɛ ji nɔ ni Biblia lɛ tsɛɔ lɛ “jeŋbai krɔŋkrɔŋi kɛ nifeemɔi ni tsɔɔ Nyɔŋmɔjamɔ su lɛ.”​—Kanemɔ 2 Petro 3:11.
