Ug mahitungod sa
mga hiyas nga
espirituhanon,
mga igsoon, buot
ko nga inyo
kining masabtan.
We are
motivated
to use
them.
(1 Tim. 4: 14)
Ayaw pasagdi ang hiyas nga
anaa kanimo, nga gikahatag
kanimo pinaagi sa
gipamulong nga profesiya
inubanan sa pagpandong
kanimo sa mga kamot sa
mga anciano.
We are

Sumala sa hiyas nga
nadawat sa matag-usa,
gamita ninyo kini alang
