But he who boasts about himself, thinking that he is good is not a true penitent, but an opponent of God’s Spirit. He is selfish, and does not long for renewal, nor does he realize his need for a Savior, but hardens his heart. Christ did not come in the name of a strange unknown deity, but in the name of the Father, to reveal God’s love and mercy.
Lakini anayejisifu mwenyewe, akifikiri yeye ni mwema, yeye si wa kutubu kweli, bali yu kinyume cha Roho wa Mungu. Kwa ndani ni wa kujipenda tu. Hahitaji kufanywa upya, wala hatambui haja yake kuwa na mwokozi, bali anaendelea kufanya ngumu moyo wake. Kristo hakuja duniani katika jina la uungu geni usiojulikana, bali katika jina la Baba, ili afunue upendo wa Mungu na rehema zake.
