UJesu uthi: ‘Bayathokoza abakunanzelelayo ukuthi kumele bakhokhelwe nguNkulunkulu, ngoba uMbuso wezulu ngowabo. Bayathokoza abalilayo, ngoba bazaduduzwa. Bayathokoza abalambele futhi abomele ukulunga, ngoba bazasuthiswa. Bayathokoza asebeke bahlukuluzwa ngenxa yokwenza okulungileyo, ngoba uMbuso wamazulu ngowabo. Liyathokoza nxa abantu belithethisa, belihlukuluza ngenxa yami. Thabani futhi lijabule kakhulu.’​—UMathewu 5:3-12.

UJesu uthi abantu abathokozayo yilabo abananzelelayo ukuthi kumele bakhokhelwe nguNkulunkulu. Abantu laba badaniswa yikuthi balesono besebefunda ngoNkulunkulu njalo bamkhonze. Lanxa bezondwa futhi behlukuluzwa ngenxa yokwenza okufunwa nguNkulunkulu, bayathokoza ngoba benza lokho okumjabulisayo futhi bayakwazi ukuthi uzabanika umvuzo wokuphila okungapheliyo.
