▪ Paulo yanditse ati: “Imana . . . iturongora mu rugendo rw’intsinzi twifatanije na Kristu kandi igatuma akamoto k’ubumenyi buyerekeye kumvikana biciye kuri twebwe ahantu hose! Kuko ku Mana turi akamoto keza ka Kristu mu bariko barakizwa no mu bariko barahona; ku ba kabiri turi akamoto kava mu rupfu kaja mu rupfu, ku ba mbere akamoto kava mu buzima kaja mu buzima.”​—2 Abakorinto 2:14-16.

Ku bijanye n’imvugo mberanya ngo “akamoto keza ka Kristu,” agasobanura ubuzima kuri bamwe kagasobanura urupfu ku bandi, igitabu kimwe c’inkoranyabumenyi (The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia) kivuga yuko “ishobora kuba yakuwe ku mugenzo Abaroma bari bafise wo kugenda barosa imibavu bari muri urwo rugendo” rw’intsinzi. Iyo nkoranyabumenyi ibandanya iti: “Ako kamoto kasobanura intsinzi ku bayitahukanye, kibutsa imbohe zafatiwe ku rugamba urupfu rwashobora kuba rubarindiriye.”a
