Yashatse guhisha ibikorwa byo gukiranuka kwe n’ikindi icyo ari cyo cyose cyatuma abantu bamurangamira. Mu Butumwa Bwiza yanditse, Yohana avuga iby’umwigishwa Yesu yakundaga, ariko akirinda guhishura ko uwo wahawe icyo cyubahiro ari we ubwe. Imibereho ye yaranzwe no kutihugiraho.

Ariko ubwo Yesu mu cyubahiro cyinshi yabonekeraga Yohana, kumurabukwa rimwe gusa byari bihagije ngo [Yohana] yikubite hasi nk’upfuye. Uko niko bizagendekera abasobanukiwe neza Umwami n’Umukiza wabo. Uko barushaho gutekereza ku buzima n’imico ya Yesu, ni ko bazarushaho kwibona ko ari abanyabyaha, ni nako batazatinyuka kwiyita intungane mu mitima cyangwa kwirata ko ari abera.IY 51.3
