The apostle John addresses the issue this way: "If our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask because we obey his commands and do what pleases him" (1 John 3:21-22).
Muapostola Yohane u tsarile: "Varhandziwa, loko timbilu ta hina ti nga hi soli, hi ni ntshunxeko wo vulavula eka Xikwembu; naswona xin'wana ni xin'wana lexi hi xi kombelaka ha xi amukela eka xona, hikuva hi hlayisa swileriso swa xona naswona hi endla swilo leswi tsakisaka ematihlweni ya xona." - 1 Yohane 3:21, 22.
