Kwa sababu matendo yake yalikuwa maovu, lakini yale ya ndugu yake yalikuwa mema!. Basi, ndugu zangu, msishangae kama ulimwengu unawachukia ninyi. Sisi tunajua kwamba tumekwisha pita kutoka katika kifo na kuingia katika uzima kwa sababu tunawapenda ndugu zetu; Mtu asiye na upendo hubaki katika kifo.
