Iye anati: “Tinazindikira kuti chizindikiro chimene tinkachikonda kwambiri poganiza kuti chikuimira imfa ya Ambuye wathu ndiponso kuti ndife Akhristu odzipereka, chinali chizindikiro chachikunja. Malinga ndi zimene lemba la Miyambo 4:18 limanena, tinayamikira kwambiri kudziwa kuti kuwala kwa njira yathu kwawonjezereka.” Otsatira a Khristu okhulupirika sankafuna kuchita nawo miyambo ya chipembedzo chonyenga.
