   Mga Saksi ni Jehova—Sino Kami? Iba-iba ang aming wika at lahi, pero pinagbubuklod kami ng iisang layunin. Higit sa lahat, gusto naming maparangalan si Jehova, ang Diyos ng Bibliya at Maylalang ng lahat ng bagay. Ginagawa namin ang lahat para matularan si Jesu-Kristo at ipinagmamalaki naming kami’y mga Kristiyano.
