Those who stubbornly persist in the ways of the flesh will never be able to properly grasp the true message of the Gospel; they will end up having "a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof...ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth" (2 Tim. 3:1-7).
Wale ambao kwa ukaidi wanadumu katika njia za mwili kamwe hawata weza kufahamu vema ujumbe wa kweli ya Injili; wataishi wakiwa "wenye mfano wa utauwa, huku wakikana nguvu zake……. Wakijifunza siku zote, lakini wasiweze kabisa kuufikia ujuzi wa kweli" (2 Tim 3:1-7).
