Since that time, the gospel of the kingdom of God is being preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

17Adekab sek lum awl sek kul gɨnɨmuŋ tek lup ak pen, takaw Mosis ñu kɨl tɨkak ak, sɨkol bad olap kul gɨnɨmuŋ tek ma lup agak.But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for a single stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.
