¹⁶ Paulo ŋma wolo eyaha Kristofoi ni yɔɔ Tesalonika lɛ akɛ: “Wɔná ekãa yɛ wɔ-Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ mli, ni wɔkɛjaje Nyɔŋmɔ sanekpakpa lɛ wɔtsɔɔ nyɛ yɛ pelemɔ babaoo mli, tsɛ wɔna nɔ̃ daa, ni afee wɔ niseniianii hu yɛ Filipi, bɔ ni nyɛle lɛ.” (1 Tesalonikabii 2:⁠2) Mɛɛ gbɛ nɔ atsɔ afee Paulo kɛ enanemɛi lɛ “niseniianii” yɛ Filipi? Taakɛ woloŋlelɔi komɛi tsɔɔ lɛ, Hela wiemɔ ni Paulo kɛtsu nii lɛ tsɔɔ jɛmɔ, ahorabɔɔ, loo nifeemɔ ni yiwaa yɔɔ mli.

¹⁷ Paulo ekãafeemɔ lɛ ba kɛjɛ nɛgbɛ? Kɛjɛ lɛ diɛŋtsɛ emli? Dabi, ekɛɛ akɛ ‘ená ekãa’ “yɛ wɔ-Nyɔŋmɔ lɛ mli.” Wolo ko ni aŋma aha Biblia shishitsɔɔlɔi lɛ kɛɔ akɛ abaanyɛ atsɔɔ nɛkɛ wiemɔ nɛɛ shishi akɛ “Nyɔŋmɔ jie gbeyeishemɔ kɛjɛ wɔtsuii amli.” No hewɔ lɛ, kɛji akɛ onuuu ekãa ni ooofee diɛŋtsɛ yɛ osɔɔmɔ nitsumɔ lɛ mli lɛ he, aloo ákɛ efã ko woɔ ohe gbeyei lɛ, mɛni hewɔ okpaaa Yehowa fai koni efee nakai nɔŋŋ eha bo?
