Ɛda adi sɛ egye mmɔdenbɔ kɛse na obi aware; nanso ɛsɛ sɛ osusuw aware abusuabɔ a ɔbɛma atra hɔ afe biara no nso ho. Dɛn na abusuabɔ a ɛte saa a ɔbɛma atra hɔ no hwehwɛ sɛ ɔyɛ? Ade biako a ɛho hia ne ahofama a efi koma mu. Sɛnea Bible ka aware mu abusuabɔ ho asɛm ni: “Ɔbarima begyaw n’agya ne ne na, na ɔde ne ho akɔbata ne yere ho, na wɔayɛ ɔhonam koro.” (Genesis 2:24) Yesu Kristo de Kyerɛwnsɛm mu ade biako pɛ a wogyina so gu aware a wobetumi asan aware bio mae—“aguamammɔ,” kyerɛ sɛ, obi a ɔnyɛ aware no mu hokafo a wɔne no da. (Mateo 19:9) Sɛ wopɛ sɛ woware a, ma Kyerɛwnsɛm mu gyinapɛn ahorow yi ntra w’adwenem. Sɛ wunsiesiee wo ho sɛ wobɛda ahofama a emu yɛ den yi adi a, ɛnde wonsoo aware.—Deuteronomium 23:21; Ɔsɛnkafo 5:4, 5.

Aberante bi kae sɛ: “Hu a mihui sɛ yɛn baanu bɛtra abom yɛn nkwa nna nyinaa no ma metee nka sɛ mahwere m’ahofadi, wɔaka me ahyɛ, wɔde me ato afiase koraa.” Nanso sɛ wodɔ onipa a wopɛ sɛ woware no no ampa a, ahofama renyɛ te sɛ adesoa.

Ahofama a wɔkyerɛ sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ awarefo nya wɔ aware mu no bɛma wɔanya ɔpɛ sɛ wɔbɛtra abom wɔ bere pa ne bere bɔne mu, na wɔaboa wɔn ho wɔn ho a nea ɛbɛba biara mfa ho. Kristoni ɔsomafo Paulo kyerɛwee sɛ nokware dɔ “wɔ abodwokyɛre” na “ɛtɔ ne bo ase ade nyinaa mu.” (1 Korintofo 13:4, 7) Ɔbea bi kae sɛ: “Aware mu ahofama ma mete nka sɛ mewɔ ahobammɔ kɛse. M’ani gye akomatɔyam a ɛwom sɛ yɛagye atom wɔ yɛn ankasa ne wiase no anim sɛ yɛpɛ sɛ yɛtra bom no ho.”—Ɔsɛnkafo 4:9-12.

6 Egye ahokwaw na woatra ase ma ɛne saa ahofama no ahyia. Enti, Paulo tu fo sɛ ɛyɛ papa sɛ Kristofo renware kosi sɛ wɔn “baabun” bere a nna ho akɔnnɔ ano yɛ den na ebetumi asɛe atɛmpa no, ‘betwam.’ (1 Korintofo 7:36) Mmofra sakra ntɛmntɛm bere a wonyin no. Nnipa pii a wɔware bere a wosusua yiye no hu sɛ wɔne wɔn hokafo no ahiade ne apɛde ahorow sakra wɔ mfe kakraa bi akyi.

13 Ɛho hia sɛ mo baanu nyinaa benya gyidi ne nnyinasosɛm biako. Ɔsomafo Paulo kyerɛwee sɛ: “Mo ne wɔn a wonnye nni nntwe kɔndua koro.” (2 Korintofo 6:14; 1 Korintofo 7:39) Obi a wo ne no nni gyidi koro wɔ Onyankopɔn mu a wobɛware no no remma mo adwene nhyia koraa. Nea ɛne eyi bɔ abira no, ɔsom a mobɛbom de ama Yehowa Nyankopɔn no ne ade titiriw a ɛbɛma moayɛ biako.

Dɛn ne wo botae? Sɛ nhwɛso no, mo baanu nyinaa te nka dɛn wɔ mmofra a mubenya ho?

Nanso, sɛ nea ɔbɛyɛ wo hokafo no anigye adeyɛ titiriw, te sɛ mpasetu, ho, na w’ani nnye ho a, ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ mo baanu no ware? Ɛnkyerɛ saa ankasa.

Afei nso, wubetumi ama nea ɔbɛyɛ wo hokafo no ani agye denam nneɛma pa a wo ne no bɛbom ayɛ esiane sɛ n’ani gye ho nti no so.—Asomafo no Nnwuma 20:35.
