Le lɛta si apostolo Paulo ŋlɔ ɖo ɖe Efesotɔwo me la, egblɔ vovototo si nɔ Israel viwo kple “ame tutɔwo” dome. Egblɔ be “gli” aɖe nɔ anyi “si ma wo dome.” (Efesotɔwo 2:11-15) Paulo nɔ nu ƒom tso “Se si me sededewo” le si wona to Mose dzi la ŋu, gake esi wòzã nya “gli” la, ate ŋu ana nuxlẽlawo ƒe susu nayi kpe aɖe si nye dometsonu si nɔ anyi ŋutɔŋutɔ la dzi.
