Ke Mwet Lahngo El muhtwacta yurun Mwet Nephi ah, El luti, “Ac fah wacngihn akuhkuhin inmahsrlowos. … El suc oasr nguhn in lokoalok yohrohl el tiacna ma Luhk, tuhsruhk ma luhn devil, suc pa pahpah tuhmwacn lokoalok, ac el puhrakwack insiacn mwet uh in acnwuck ke kasrkuhsrak, sie nuh sin siepac.”5 Ke kuht akuhkuhin yurin sie sin sie, Satan el isrwacsr ac God inkuhsrao El tuhng.6

Satan el isrwacsr ac God El tuhng ke srihpac luo. Ma se met, akuhkuhin uh ahkmuhnahsye loh lasr nuh sin facluh luhn Jisus Kraist ac lah molwelah tuhkuh sin “ohiyac wo, … pahkotwen, ac luhng kuhlwacng” Lal.7 Mwet Lahngo fahk, “Sie masap Nga usot nuh suwos tuh kowos in insacnweacng in suk ma inge. … Kowos fin lungse sie sin sie, na mwet nu kewa ac fah etu lah kowos mwet tuma lutlut luh.”8 Ma sahyac pwacye pac—mwet nuhkwewa etuh lah kuht tiac mwet tuhma lutlut lal kuht fin tiac luhngse sie sin sie. Orekma ke lwen-sahflah Lal ahkmuhnahsyeyuck ke akuhkuhin kuh sruhnga9 oasr yurun mwet tuhma lutlut Lal.10 Ahkluo, akuhkuhin uh tiac wo nuh sin nguhn lasr oacna mwet sifacna. Pihsrapasrlah liki kuht liki mihslac, engan, monglac, ac kuh lasr in puhla Nguhn muhnahslah.

Jisus Kraist El ahkuhtweyac lah wosasuc Lal tiac pa in “puhrakwack insiacn mwet uh in acnwuck ke kasrkuhsrak, sie nuh sin sie pac; tuhsruhk pa inge mwe luti [Lal] tuh ma inge in tulokihnyucki.”11 Fin nga sa in ahngyahng kuh topuk ma siena luhn nuhnak ke fohloyak kuh nuhnuhnkuh, nga “suhfal” ke srihkasrak luhn fokokoiyacn nguhn sac. Finne suhfal ke srihkasrak se inge tiac kalmac tuh wacngihn finsrak luhk. Kalmac, tuh nga enenuh in ekuhllah. Ac ma inge wo in etuh.

Tukun muhtwacta luhn Mwet Lahngo nuh fin Acn Macrike, “mwet uh fahsrweni; wacngihn fohs fin acn ah nohfohn.”12 Kom nuhnkuh muh mwet uh masefanna lac ke srihpen elos oacna sie, kuh ke srihpen tiac ma siena liki nuhnak lalos? Nga muh tiac. Sahyac na, fohs ac sruhnga wacngihnlac ke srihpen elos sang insacnweacng lalos nuh sin Mwet Lahngo yohk liki ma nuhkwewa. Ma siena lalos srihk liki luhngse lalos nuh sin Mwet Lahngo, ac elos fahsrweni oacna “mwet in usrui tohkohsrahi luhn God.”13 Ma sikyak tuh “tiac kuh in oasr sie un mwet engan … tuh oreklac ke poun God.”14

Enenuh orekma in fahsrweni in ma se.15 Ma inge tuhkuh ke kuht ahkyohkye luhngse luhn God insiacsr16 ac kuht lohacng nuh ke moul ma pahtpaht lasr.17 Kuht fahsrweni nuh sie ke ohiyac na pwacye lasr oacna tuhlihk nuhtin God18 ac oaru lasr ke ma pwacye luhn wosasuc ma fohlohkyak. Na, luhngse lasr nuh sin God ac insacnweacng lasr nuh sin Jisus Kraist oruh kuht in luhngse mwet sahyac. Kuht sacohkkihn ma siena pucs ke ohiyac, facsin, ac talan luhn mwet sahyac.19 Fin kuht tiac kuh in sang insacnweacng lasr nuh sin Jisus Kraist yohk liki facsin ac nuhnak lasr sifacna, kuh enenuh in sulpac liye ma yohk srihpac nuh sesr ac eklac.

Sahp kuht ac fahk, “Pwacye kuht kuh in fahsrweni nuh sie—fuhnuh kom ac insese nuh sihk!” Wo liki in siyuck, “Meac nga kuh in oruh in kahsruh mwet fahsrweni nuh sie? Meac nga kuh in oruh in kahsruh mwet se inge fahsr fototoyang nuh Kraist? Meac nga kuh in oruh in ahksrihkye fohs ac muhsaheack kuhlwacng ac karihngihn ke sucu luhn Alu?”
