1 Gain dey to serve Christ? Konfort dey for en love? Fellowship dey between pipol and God Spirit? Una heart good rish to show pipol mesi? 2 Den, make una let my joy dey komplete, as una dey gri with each oda and dey love and work togeda with one mind. 3 Make una nor dey karry body up, but make una trit each oda like unasef. Instead, una dey do wetin una like, bikos of di tins wey una go gain, so dat una go fit boast. 4 Make una nor dey tink about unasef alone and wetin una wont, but make una dey tink about wetin good for odas too. 5 Make una get di same mind wey Christ get:
6 wey bi sey, even doh en with God na di same,
e nor boast about am.
7 But e leave evritin wey e get for heaven
kon bi like savant.
So e kom dis world as human being.
8 E put en body down kon obey God,

9 Bikos of dis, God raiz am up
kon gi-am di name wey big pass evry oda name,
10 so dat wen dem koll Jesus name,
evribody and evritin must knee down,
weda dem dey heaven, eart or for under di eart
11 and evry tongue go konfess sey,
“Na Jesus Christ bi di Oga God.”
Den all di glory go bi God own.
Lite For Dis World
12 So, my friends wey I love; pipol wey dey always obey mi, (nor bi only wen I dey with una, but una dey obey well-well, even wen I nor dey with una). Make una kontinue to do God work with all una heart, so dat una salvashon go full well-well, 13 bikos na God dey work inside una and una go fit do good tins kon get di pawa wey go make una happy. 14 Make una nor use vexnashon take work for God, 15 so dat una nor go get any blame and una go dey klean. God Pikin nor get fault; even doh una dey live for di world wey bad pipol dey, una go dey shine like stars, 16 bikos una get God message wey dey give life. So, di day wen Christ go kom, I go get rizin to boast sey I nor run dis race or work for nor-tin. 17 But even if dem take mi offa sakrifice for una, I go dey happy, 18 so make una kom follow mi rijoice.
