The descriptions of the believers as being washed from their sins in the blood of Christ therefore refers to their doing this by means of baptism (Rev. 1:5; 7:14; Titus 3:5 [N.I.V.] speak of this as "the washing of rebirth", referring to our being "born of water" at baptism [John 3:5]).
Maelezo ya waaminio ya kuwa wameoshwa dhambi zao katika katika damu ya Kristo basi yanashuhudia kutenda kwo kwa njia ya kubatizwa (Uf 1:5; 7:14; Tito 3:5) kusema hivi ni kama "kuoshwa kwa kuzaliwa tena", tunahitajiwa "kuzaliwa kwa maji" wakati wa kubatizwa(Yohana 3:5).
