It is more attractive to think that our own works and public association with a large, well-known church (cp. the river Abana) can save us, rather than this simple act of association with the true hope of Israel. After dipping in Jordan Naaman's flesh "came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean" (2 Kings 5:9-14).
Kwa namna mmoja, tunaweza kuona wokovu wetu. Yanapendeza sana kudhania kwamba matendo yetu wenyewe kwa kujiunga na kanisa kubwa, linalojulikana vyema na watu wengi (kama mto Abana) kuweza kutuokoa, kuliko tendo hili rahisi la kujiunga na tumaini la kweli la Israel. Baada ya kujichovya katika mto Yordani mwili wa Naamani "ukarudi ukawa kama wa mtoto mchanga, akawa safi" (2Fal. 5:9-14)
