Ona kuti Jesu paaikurukura naNikodhimo akasimbisa sei kukosha kwokuberekwa patsva. Akati: “Kana munhu akasaberekwazve, haangaoni umambo hwaMwari.” (Johani 3:3) Mashoko okuti “akasaberekwazve” uye “haangaoni” anoratidza kukosha kwokuberekwa patsva. Somuenzaniso: Kana mumwe munhu akati, “Kana zuva rikasabuda, hakungavi nechiedza,” anenge achireva kuti kubuda kwezuva kunokosha zvikuru kuti pave nechiedza.
