2 VALAVALA CA KECE Me vaka na ka sa volai, Sa sega e dua sai valavala dodonu, sa sega sara e dua: Sa sega e dua sa kila, Sa sega e dua sa vakasaqara na Kalou. Era sa lesu tani kecega, era sa yaco vata me sega ni yaga; Sa sega e dua sai valavala vinaka, sa sega sara e dua. (Roma 3:10-12) Eda ivalavala ca ka da sega ni rawa ni digitaka me da caka vinaka. Na Yalo Tabu sa ikoya duadua ga e vakavuna meda: 1. vakakila ni da ivalavala ca. 2. biuta laivi na noda qaciqacia. 3. gadreva na torovi Jisu me da vosoti. 4. me dua na veisau ena noda bula. io, sa ia na veivakadonui na Kalou e na vuku ni vakabauti Jisu Karisito, vei ira kecega era sa vakabauta; ni da sa tautauvata kecega: ni sai valavala ca ko ira kecega na tamata, ka ra sega ni yacova na ka e vakarokorokotaki kina na Kalou. (Roma 3:22-23)

3 1 SENIJIURI Ni ra sa kaya tiko era sa vuku, era sa lialia mai; a ra sa vakaisosomitaka na serau ni Kalou sa sega ni mate rawa, e na matakau me vaka na tamata sa ra mate wale, kei na manumanu vuka, kei na manumanu e yavai va, kei na veika sa qasi voli. O koya sa biuti ira kina na Kalou me ra qeleqelewa e na dodomo ni yalodra, me ra vakavelavelataka kina na yagodra vakai ira: ia era sa vakaisosomitaka nai vakavuvuli dina ni Kalou, e na ka e lasu wale, a ra sa soro kina ka qarava na ka sa buli ka segai ko koya sa bulia, o koya sa nona na vakarokoroko ka sega ni mudu. Emeni. O koya sa biuti ira kina na Kalou me ra muria na dodomo vakasisila; ni ra sa vakaisosomitaka ko ira na nodra yalewa nai valavala sa lesi e na dua tani e sega ni lesi: 27 sa vaka talega kina ko ira na tagane, ni ra sa biuta nai valavala sa lesi vata kei na yalewa, sa waqa na nodra veidomoni vakai ira: a ra sa kitaka ko ira na tagane na ka velavela sara kei ira na tagane, a sa yaco kina vei ira nai sau dodonu ni nodra caka cala. 21 SENIJIURI va Deifying the ego, sports, movies and fashion stars... Widespread homosexuality. AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases.

4 1 SENITIURI 21 SENIJIURI Furthermore, since they did not think it worth while to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Those words reflect everything we read in the newspapers and watch on the news. Since sin appeared in our world, man has become corrupted and has fled from God. The only solution for every man is accepting Jesus as his personal Savior.

5 Believers boast of not being like the pagans and judge them. Nevertheless, believers are sinning like non-believers. You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God's judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere man, pass judgment on them and yet do the same things, do you think you will escape God's judgment? (Roma 2:1-3)

6 God judges the believers, too. He demands more from them, because they have more knowledge of the truth than non-believers. Now you, if you call yourself a Jew; if you rely on the law and brag about your relationship to God; if you know his will and approve of what is superior because you are instructed by the law; if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those who are in the dark, an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of infants, because you have in the law the embodiment of knowledge and truth--you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? You who brag about the law, do you dishonour God by breaking the law? As it is written: God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you (Roma 2:17-24) The only solution for the believers is to surrender to God every moment of your life.

7 Believers and nonbelievers, men and women, rich and poor... we all are sinners and are condemned. There wouldn t be hope for anyone if it wasn t for God s grace.

8 The justice of God means that anyone who has faith in the Gospel (Jesus death at the cross) will obtain salvation. I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, {Or is from faith to faith} just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith (Roma 1:16-17) When you believe in Jesus death by faith, it is that faith that leads you to trust God more and more. We have life and we are called righteous through that faith.

9 A sinner cans cling to the salvation God provided (Jesus death) by faith. That faith leads to repentance and to a change in his life. Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, tolerance and patience, not realising that God's kindness leads you towards repentance? (Roma 2:4) REPENTANT SINNERS UNREPENTANT SINNERS To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honour and immortality, he will give eternal life but glory, honour and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. (Roma 2:7, 10) But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. (Roma 2:8-9)

10 The Lord estimates as of supreme value the holiness of His people, and He permits reverses to come upon individuals, upon families, and upon churches, that His people may see their danger, and humble their hearts before Him in repentance. He will treat His backslidden ones with tenderness. He will speak pardon to them, and clothe them with the garments of Christ s righteousness. He will honor them with His presence. In this, the great day of atonement, it is our duty to confess our sins and acknowledge God s mercy and love in pardoning our transgressions. Let us thank the Lord for the warnings He has given to save us from our perverse ways. Let us witness to His goodness by revealing a change in our lives. E.G.W. (Sons and daughters of God, September 10)
