YEBO, kumele thola injabulo phakathi kwalobu bumnyama obukhona. Kuyisithelo sikaMoya oNgcwele, ngakho-ke, uhlala ukhona eSontweni.

Kepha-ke, uNkulunkulu wamthumelela ingelosi ukuthi izomqinisa, futhi ukwesaba kukaJesu kwathathelwa indawo ukuthula okuthe cwaka.
Nakhu kulele impande yomuthi ethela isithelo senjabulo: Inani ukulahla uNkulunkulu.
