Mma hom akoma nntutu, eso mma ɔmmbɔ hu.” 8

Hɛn Ewuradze na Agyenkwa, Jesus Christ ne dzin kor a ɔsom hɛn bo ara yie nye “Asomdwee Hen.” 9 Ewiei no wɔbɛkyekyer N’ahenman no a asomdwee na dɔ kã ho. 10 Yɛhwɛ mfe apem Messiah no n’ahendzi no kwan.

Otsĩa Anan: Kyekyer Zion wɔ Hɛn Akoma na Efiefi mu

Yɛyɛ Nyankopɔn ne mba na yɛka n’ebusua ho. Yɛka ebusua so a wɔwoo hɛn too mu no ho. Ebusua nhyehyɛɛ no nye enyigye na asomdwee ne fapem. President Russell M.
