And sapos mifala kasem comfort, datwan hem for comfortim iufala, wea datwan bae helpem iufala for no givap taem iufala safa lo sem safaring wea kasem mifala. 7 And mifala barava trustim dat iufala bae gohed faithful, from mifala savve dat iufala safa lo sem safaring wea kasem mifala, so iufala bae kasem tu sem comfort wea mifala kasem.+
