No mo notting inside dem dat goin trip somebody up an make um fall down an do bad kine stuff. 11 But whoeva hate dea braddah o sistah, az jalike dey stay inside da dark. Dey walk aroun inside da dark, an dey donno wea dey going, cuz da dark make um come blind.

15 No get love an aloha fo da bad kine stuff dat get inside dis world. If anybody get love an aloha fo da bad kine stuff in dis world, den dey no mo love an aloha fo da Faddah. 16 You guys know all da bad kine stuff dat get inside dis world: Peopo do wat dey like do cuz dass how dey stay. Dey like get wateva look good to dem. An dey like get da kine stuff fo show off too. All dat no come from da Faddah, but come from dis world. 17 Dis world an all da stuff da peopo like get, dat goin pau. But da guy dat do wat God like him fo do, he goin live fo real foeva!
