Ntsɛmara modwen Britainyi Ernest Shackleton a okyinii hwehwɛ nsaase na ne wusihɛn HMS Endurance, no mu edwumayɛfo ho a, hɔn wusihɛn no sɛɛ wɔ Antartic esukwankyɛba mu na wɔkaa wɔ nsupruw pawee bi do bɛyɛ mfe ebien.

Nokwar nye dɛ wɔagye wo dada; wɔagye wo nkwa dada—Nyia ɔasɔw ayaayaadze noara a erefa mu no nna ɔasɔw amandzehu noara a erosɔw no.1 Jesus edzi enyimtsiabu nyina a ɔwɔ wiadze yi mu do2 ama ɔama wo tum nnyɛ dza wɔdze tsena ase nkõ, mbom ama dabi, ɔnam No do, eetum edzi do na mpo edzi konyim—asoɛr koraa wɔ ɔyaw, atseetsee, ahohia do, na eehu dɛ asomdwee ahyɛ hɔn ananmu.
Ɔsomafo Paul bisa dɛ:
“Woana bɛtsew hɛn efi Christ dɔ no ho? Ahohia, anaa ahomtsew, anaa ɔhaw, anaa ɔkɔm, anaa adagyaw, anaa amandze, anaa afõwa a? …
“Naaso iyi nyina mu, yɛnam nyia ɔdɔɔ hɛn no do dzi konyim bor do.”3

Kwan biara nnyi hɔ ma enyimtsiabu biara—honamu o, mpa do nkitahodzi mu o, nkã tse mu o, anaa kasa mu—wɔ ofi, ɔman, anaa amambra biara mu.
