Ua mochen kapas usun met ua eita ngeni nongonongen ketiw non Ewe Mwichefenin Jises Kraist ren Aramas mi Pin Non Fansoun Soponon Ei nongonong a wor unungat kinikinin: (1) ewe wis ren ketiw non ioifengenin Noun ewe Samon kewe aramas pwon, (2) ouchean ewe angang me asoren fangeno non ketiw, me (3) ewe nukanapen Jises Kraist ngeni ketiw.

Ewe Mwichefenin Jises Kraist Ren Aramas mi Pin Non Fansoun Soponon non an keran poputa a foruta ren chommongun mi pwechepwech chon North America me sounengin eorun Europe fiti ekkewe pwan chon Indian, African Americans, me chon Pacific. Iei, wanu ier seni ewe 200th achechemen an ewe a keran poputa, ewe Mwichefen a fen chommongono non chochon me sokopat sokkun aramas pwan mwo non unusen fonufan.

Usun ewe Soufos Joseph Smith a apasa, ekkewe aramas noun Kot non ew me ew kinikinin fansoun ra awitiwit fiti meseik atapwanapwana ei ran, me “kich ekkewe aramas mi finita Kot a fen fori mochenin ne wato ewe ning non fansoun soponon.”2

Ewe Samon a annuk ngenikich, “Oupwe chok ew; pun ika ousap chok ew iwe esap nei ami.”3 Sipwe achocho ne utau ekkewe aramas mi tipekinikin ra ekieki pwe ir mii sokono seni ewe Mwichefen, seni non imwach, nge akaewin, seni non netipach. Nupwen chochon ach Mwichefen a marino fiti sokopaten chon, ach etiwetiw epwe pwan marino ren pusin fetanin me kinamwein. Sia mochen oukich fengen.4

Non noun Akaewin Taropwe ngeni ekkewe chon Koronit, Paul a afata pwe meinisin ion mi papataisino non ei Mwichefen ir chok ew non inisin Kraist:

“Ren an ewe inis a chok ew, me pwan chommong chochon mwichefen, me meinisin chochon ena ew inis, pokiten chommongun, ew inis, iwe pwan Kraist.

“Ren ewe emon chok Ngun meinisin sia papataisino non ew chok inis, ika mo kich chon Jews ika Gentiles, ika kich mi fotek ika ngaseno; me meinisin ra fen foruta ar repwe un seni ewe emon chok Ngun. …

Me ren ei pekin mirit, metichok emon a kuna pwe mi weires “ina ew napanapen eriaffou.”14

Ren ei sokofesen, ach kewe neuo chon ei Mwichefen akkom ra angei ew anononun memefin ketiw, chufengen, me epinukunuk non Kraist ren ekkewe angangen asor ra fori ne fori angangen misineri, oueta tempel, poutano imwer mi kinamwe fan echimw me poputa sefani, me non chommongun ekkoch an ra epinano inisir me mettochur ngeni ewe koutan Saion.
