　　“Futhi besadla, uJesu wathatha isinkwa, wase esibusisa, futhi wasihlephula, wase esinika abafundi, futhi wathi, Thathani, nidle; lokhu kungumzimba wami. Futhi wathatha indebe, wase ebonga, futhi wabanika yona, wathi, Phuzani nonke kuyo; Ngoba lokhu kuyigazi lami lesivumelwano esisha, elithululwa ngenxa yabaningi ngenxa yokuthethelelwa kwezono” (UMathewu 26:26-28).

　　Wonke umsebenzi ongenziwa ngumuntu uwukwenza umsebenzi njengomunye wezidalwa futhi wenziwa ngokuholwa noma ukukhanyiselwa nguMoya oNgcwele. Ukuqondiswa okunikezwa abantu abanjalo yindlela yokuphila kwansuku zonke nokuthi umuntu wenza kanjani ngokuvumelana nentando kaNkulunkulu. … Noma kwakuyindlela endala noma entsha umsebenzi wawenzelwa esisekelweni sokungeqi izimiso zeBhayibheli. Noma amabandla aseduze ayevuselelwa noma akhiwa, umsebenzi wabo kwakungowokuphemba amabandla. Umsebenzi ababewenza kwakungowokuqhuba umsebenzi uJesu nabafundi bakhe ababengawuqedanga noma ababengawukhulisanga eNkathini Yomusa.

Ngakho umuntu angabona kuphela emsebenzini wabo ukutholakala kwezindlela ezintsha eBhayibhelini, kanye nezindlela zokuphila ezingcono nezingokoqobo. Kodwa umuntu akakwazi ukuthola emsebenzini wabo intando yamanje kaNkulunkulu, kube kuncane nakakhulu ukuthola umsebenzi omusha uNkulunkulu azowenza ezinsukwini zokugcina. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi indlela ababeyihamba kwakusengeyakudala; kwakungenanqubekela phambili futhi kungekho lutho olusha. Baqhubeka nokugcina iqiniso “lokubethelwa kukaJesu,” liyindlela “yokucela ukuba abantu baphenduke futhi bavume izono zabo,” isisho esithi “lowo obekezela kuze kube sekugcineni uyosindiswa,” nesisho esithi “indoda iyinhloko yomfazi, futhi umfazi kufanele alalele indoda yakhe.” Phezu kwalokho, bagcina umbono wesiko othi “odadewethu abakwazi ukushumayela, bangalalela kuphela.”
