We can continue to cultivate our God - given abilities and expand in doing good works .	Di nla kônde lémés ngap Djob a nti bés , di kéñbaha ki nson wés inyu boñ mam malam .
In addition , instead of simply thinking that a brother or a sister is either " strong " or " weak , " we should recognize that we all have strengths and weaknesses .	Di nlama ndik bé hoñol le ngim mankéé nu munlôm tole nu muda a gwé " hémle i ngui " tole a gwé " bibomb , " ndi di nlama yi le hiki wada wés a gwé yé ngap ni gwé bibomb .

Warning examples in the Bible remind us that jealousy can deprive us of the prize .	Dihéga dibe , ti di yé ikété Bibel , di nhôñlaha bés le njôñ i nla boñ le di nimis bom yés .
Jehovah God is not divided or unpredictable .	Djob a ta bé nkabak , a nla bé ki to puhe bagwélél bé .
Marital love shown by Christians should therefore be so strong that either mate would be willing , if necessary , to die for the other .	Gwéha ipôla babiina ba ba yé bikristen i nlama ba ngui , kayéle hiki wada wap a ba bebee i wo inyu sobiina wé .

I didn 't mind .	Hala a bé tééñga bé me .

A third key to maintaining our neutrality is to gain strength from Jehovah .	Hiliba hi nyônôs aa inyu yén haa ni mam ma nkoñ isi hi yé le , di yoñ ngui yak Yéhôva .
Have those who turn to today 's popular methods of predicting the future fared any better ?	I bet ba nke yak babo ngambi ba len , baa manwin ba nkôs inyu bilôl ma yé eglege ?
At Romans 8 : 5 , 6 , the expression " set their minds on " implies what ?	I kaat Rôma 8 : 5 , 6 , bibuk bini le " ba ntôñ ndigi ni mam ma minsôn " bi nkobla le kii ?

Apparently , Jehovah did not want to give Satan undue prominence by devoting large portions of the Hebrew Scriptures to discussing him and his activity .	I nene le , Yéhôva a bi gwés bé ti Satan lipém a kôli bé bana , mu kii a bi tjél pôdôl nye ngandak ikété Bitilna bi Lôk Héber , to mam a mboñ .
It states : " Jehovah is near to all those calling on him , to all who call on him in truth .	I nkal le : " Yéhôva a yé bebee ni bôt bobasôna ba nsébél nye , ba bobasôna ba nsébél nye ni maliga .

Do not forget that ideas and methods vary from culture to culture and from generation to generation .	I yé maliga le mam ma nla héñha inoñnaga ni bilem bi hiki loñ , ni inoñnaga ni ngéda bôt ba niñil .
Still , as conditions in the first - century congregation in Ephesus illustrate , true Christians today could become complacent and allow their love to falter .	I yé ya maliga le jam li bi tagbe i likoda li Efésô i hiai hi bisu li ñunda le yak i len ini , bañga bikristen bi nla yila bôt ba ba ntééñga ha bé manyuu map inyu ngim jam , hala a nla ki hôyôs gwéha yap .

Given the opportunity to be on Jehovah 's side , what did Cain do ?	Kii Kain a bi boñ ngéda pôla i bi nene le a yoñ pes i Yéhôva ?
For example , he commanded that humans were not to murder another person .	Kii héga , a bi ti mbén le mut binam a nolok bañ maasañ . Inyu Djob , niñ ni matjél bi yé nlômblak .
What should guide our decisions ?	Kii i nlama éga bés ngéda di nyoñ makidik ?

For example , we read that love is " patient and kind . "	Kiki hihéga , di ñañ le " i nwéha ngut , i gwé ki loñge ñem . "
Humankind has been enslaved by sin and death and has labored under the burden of pain , suffering , and adversity for so long that many people have come to accept this way of life as normal or natural .	Kiki mut binam a yé minkôm mi béba ni nyemb , a salak ki ikété njôghe , ndutu , ni njiiha hala a yé ntandaa ngéda nano , jon ngandak bôt i nhoñol le nya ipe i ta ha bé , i bi sôk ki i neebe le hala nyen niñ i yé hana isi .
Worship at Shrines ?	Lelaa u nyoñ makidik moñ ?
Once in San Pablo City , a downpour prevented me from giving a talk at a public market , so I suggested to the responsible brothers that it be given in the Kingdom Hall .

" You will do nothing of the kind , " Mother replied .	Mama a bi kal me le : " Me ntjél le u boñ ntén jam u .
What problems might we face within the Christian congregation ?	Mambe mandutu di nla boma ikété likoda ?
What three Bible principles will help us to evaluate information accurately ?	Mambe matiñ ma Bibel maa ma ga hôla bés i tibil wan mam ?
In contrast to supporting Satan , consider the blessings you have as a dedicated and baptized Christian .	Maselna ni mut a nit Satan , béñge bisai , we nsôblege kristen u gwé .
Thus , after establishing the facts of the case , the elders had to look at the person , not just the action .	Mbus mi bé tibil wan mam ma bé tagbe , mimañ mi bé lama béñge mut nyemede , ha ndik bé i jam a mboñ .

Throughout this period of test , faithful Bible Students had been " watching the Lord 's leading , . . . praying at all times for the Father 's guidance .

If we do our best to speak and act in harmony with God 's will , we can be confident that Jehovah will not allow the Devil to do us any lasting harm . - Read Psalm 34 : 7 .

( 1 Bikiñe 8 : 22 , 23 ; Yôhanes 11 : 41 , 42 ; Minson mi baôma 4 : 23 , 24 ) Ibale di mboñ kii yosôna di nla inyu pot ni bana maboñok ma nkiha ni sômbôl i Djob , di nla ba nkwoog nkaa le Yéhôva a ga nwas bé le Nsohop a boñ bés béba i i nom . - Añ Tjémbi 34 : 7 .

However , what could happen if one of our brothers or sisters was disciplined because he or she did not obey God 's commands ?

( 1 Pétrô 2 : 12 ) Ndi , kii i yé i tagbe ibale ba nkodol kristen muda tole munlôm inyule a mbôk mbén Djob ?

What was that ministry ?

( 1 Timôtéô 1 : 12 - 14 ) Kii i bé nson wé ?

That way , you can be sure that you will not pass away with this condemned old world .

( 1 Timôtéô 4 : 15 , 16 ; 1 Pétrô 3 : 15 ) Ni i njel i , u nla ba nkwoog nkaa le u ga tagbe bé ni nlômbi nkoñ isi unu u u mbem ndik tjiba .

All of us will surely please Jehovah if we " keep on encouraging one another each day . "

( 1 Tésalônika 5 : 11 ) Ibabé pééna , bés bobasôna di ga kônha Yéhôva maséé ibale ' di nke ni bisu i tina makénd hiki kel . '

( Read Colossians 3 : 13 . )

( Añ Kôlôsé 3 : 13 . )

On the other hand , the tribes of Reuben , Dan , and Asher were each singled out at Judges 5 : 15 - 17 for giving more attention to their own material interests - as represented by their flocks , ships , and harbors - than to the work that Jehovah was having done .

( Bakéés 5 : 11 ) Jam lipe li yé le kaat Bakéés 5 : 15 - 17 i ñunda le matén ma Ruben , Dan ni Aser ma bi lôôha tôñ nkus wap , kiki bo bibémba gwap , bisitima gwap , ni mabôñ map , iloo bôlô i Yéhôva .

A similar thought is expressed at Proverbs 2 : 7 , 9 , which says that Jehovah " treasures up practical wisdom for the upright . "

( Bingéngén 28 : 5 ) Minlélém mi mahoñol mi nlébna i kaat Bingéngén 2 : 7 , 9 , i i nkal le Yéhôva a " ntéédana bôt ba téé sép bañga pék . "

Each of us would do well to ask , ' Can I follow Jesus ' example even more closely than I am already doing ? ' - Read 1 Peter 2 : 21 .

( Filipi 2 : 5 , 7 ) Hiki wada wés a nla badba le : " Baa me nla kônde odop mu mabal ma Yésu iloo kii me yé me boñ yôha ? " - Añ 1 Pétrô 2 : 21 .

In the first century , some Christians sold items that they owned , such as fields or houses , and brought the money to the apostles .

( Manyodi 3 : 21 , 22 ; 35 : 22 - 24 ) I hiai bisu , lôk kéé ihogi i bi nuñul gwom i bééna , kiki bo nwom , mandap , ba kena moni mi bisu bi baôma .

Many of them became believers .

( Minson mi baôma 2 : 14 , 15 ) Ngandak ikété yap i bi yila bikristen .

Is this a contradiction ?

( Minson mi baôma 5 : 29 ; Titô 3 : 1 ) Baa i kal hala i yé kiki mbus ño bo mbom ?

This was not an arbitrary choice .

( Ndiimba Mbén 7 : 6 - 8 ) Ndi , a bi yoñ ndik bé ma makidik hala .

Even so , our work is not finished .

( Rôma 12 : 2 ) To hala , nson wés u malak bé .

There are some walls - some problems - that we cannot " scale " in our own strength ; we need a boost from Jehovah .

( Tjémbi 18 : 30 ) Di mboma mandutu ma ma yé kiki mabap makeñi ma di nla bé " lel " ni ngui yés bésbomede ; di gwé ngôñ ni mahôla ma Yéhôva inyu pind mo .

We take to heart the inspired counsel : " Clothe yourselves with the tender affections of compassion , kindness , humility , mildness , and patience . "

( Tjémbi 18 : 36 ) Di ndiihe mana maéba ma Bibel : " Eñgbana ni ñem yôni ni konangoo , ni longeñem , ni suhulnyu , ni ñemlima , ni u wongut . "

We cannot let our guard down , passively accepting any entertainment that is offered .

( Yuda 7 ) Bapémés bisinima ba nhôñôs mahoñol map mu kii ba ñunda nyega malal kiki yom i yé kunde , tole kiki yom i nlona bé bés bikuu .
