 Beibele e kgala mokgwa wa go rapela Modimo re latela metlwae yeo e sa mo thabišego. (Mareka 7:6-8) Bakorinthe ba Bobedi 6:17 e re: “Jehofa o re: ‘Ka gona tšwang gare ga bona, le itlhaole le lese go kgwatha selo se se sa hlwekago.’” Easter ke letšatši la maikhutšo la boheitene leo bao ba nyakago go kgahliša Modimo ba swanetšego go phema go le keteka.
