Faswan long evri samting, petriakel blesing i talemaot laen blong yu, o stret traeb aot long olgeta twelef traeb blong Jekob (we afta, oli singaotem Isrel) we yu yu kamaot long hem. Nomata we i no evriwan long yumi we i stret laen blong Jekob, ol skripja oli tijim yumi se ol memba blong Jos, oli adoptem olgeta insaed long haos blong Isrel: “from se hamas long olgeta we bae oli akseptem Gospel ia, bae mi singaotem olgeta folem nem blong mi, mo bae mi kaontem olgeta olsem laen blong yu, mo bambae oli girap mo blesem yu, olsem papa blong olgeta” (luk long Abraham 2:10).
