NGIZWE izwi elinamandla eBandleni namhlanje ekuseni emkhulekweni mayelana ithelevishini:
Ubusisiwe umuntu ongalandeli iseluleko sababi; futhi akahlali endleleni yezoni, futhi akahlali phakathi kwabahleki bosulu, kepha okuthokoza kwakhe kungumthetho kaJehova nozindla ngomthetho wakhe imini nobusuku. (IHubo 1)
Umzimba kaKristu—amakholwa abhapathiziwe, athengwe ngenani legazi Lakhe——achitha ukuphila kwawo okungokomoya phambi kukamabonakude: elandela “iziluleko zababi” ngezinhlelo zokuzisiza kanye nezifundiswa ezizibekela yona; ukulibala “endleleni yezoni” kuma-sitcom; nokuhlala "enkampanini" yezinkulumo zasebusuku kukhombisa ukuthi yikuphi ukugcona nokuhlambalaza ubumsulwa nobuhle, uma kungeyona inkolo uqobo.
Ngizwa uJesu ememeza amazwi e-Apocalypse futhi: "Phuma kuye! Phuma eBhabhiloni!“Sekuyisikhathi sokuba uMzimba kaKristu wenze izinqumo. Akwanele ukuthi sithi ngiyakholwa kuJesu… bese sithokozisa imiqondo yethu kanye nemizwa yethu njengamaqaba ehlelweni elikhohlakele, uma kungelona elimelene neVangeli. UNkulunkulu unokuningi kakhulu angasinika kona ngomkhuleko: kulowo ozindla ngeZwi lakhe imini nobusuku.
Ngakho bopha izinkalo zokuqonda kwakho; phila ngokusangulukile; beka lonke ithemba lakho esibonelweni ozonikezwa sona lapho uJesu Kristu evela. Njengamadodana namadodakazi alalelayo, ningavumeli izinkanuko ezake zakubumba ngokungazi. Kunalokho, yibani ngcwele ngokwenu kuzo zonke izici zokuziphatha kwenu, ngokufana nalowo oNgcwele onibizile (1 Peter)
Nkosi Jesu, ukunotha kwethu kusenza singabi ngabantu, ukuzijabulisa kwethu kuphenduke isidakamizwa, umthombo wokuzihlukanisa, futhi umyalezo wethu ongapheli, oyisidina womphakathi uyisimemo sokufa ngenxa yobugovu. —UPOPE BENEDICT XVI, Isiteshi Sesine Sesiphambano, NgoLwesihlanu Oluhle 2006
