³ Wɔ tete Israel no na wosiw ɔba a ɔyɛ ohohwini ne ɔsabofo a ɔnsakra abo kum no. (Deuteronomium 21:18-21) Ɔsomafo Paulo tuu Kristofo fo sɛ: “Sɛ obi a wɔfrɛ no onua yɛ aguaman anaa oniberefo anaa ɔbosonsonni anaa ɔmaanefo anaa ɔsabofo anaa omimfo a, mo ne no mmmɔ; saa onipa no, mo ne no nnnidi mpo.” Ɛda adi pefee sɛ, Kyerɛwnsɛm no kasa tia asabow.—1 Korintofo 5:11; 6:9, 10.

W’aniwa bɛhwɛ ananade, na wo koma aka akɔntɔnkyesɛm.” (Mmebusɛm 23:31-33) Asanom bebrebe ka te sɛ ɔwɔ a n’ano wɔ bɔre, ɛbɔ yare, ɛma obi adwene yɛ no basaa, na ade tumi tɔ ne so. Ɔsabofo tumi hu “ananade,” kyerɛ sɛ, otumi hu nneɛma wɔ n’ani so, na odwen nneɛma hunu ho.

Nanso, sɛ obi nya adwene sɛ asɛm biara nni nneyɛe a ɛte saa ho a, na ɔredaadaa ne ho. (Yeremia 17:9) Asanom de nkakrankakra na ɛka obi hɔ ma ɔbɛyɛ ‘ɔsadweam.’ (Tito 2:3) Ɛdefa sɛnea obi bɛyɛ ɔsadweam ho no, nhoma kyerɛwfo Caroline Knapp ka sɛ: “Ɛba nyaa nkakrankakra.” Hwɛ sɛnea asanom bebrebe yɛ afiri a etumi di awu!
