Ati: "Mfite imyaka 77 kandi umubiri wanjye uragenda ucika intege, sibyo? Nubwo mfite ubuzima bwiza, nzi ko umubiri uzagenda ucika intege kurushaho.” Piper.
"Kandi rero, mu gice cyo mu 1 Abakorinto 15, umubiri wabibwe mu ntege nke, wazamuwe mu bubasha, uwabibwe mu cyubahiro uzakomezanya guhemburwa. Ayo ni amasezerano atangaje, amasezerano y’agaciro kuri twe tugenda ducika intege no gusaza ndetse no ku bantu bafite ubumuga”

“Nizera gukiza kw’Imana. Ndasengera abantu bose bashaka ko mbasengera kugira ngo bakire. Ndabasengera ngo bakire. Ariko mu mateka no mu Byanditswe biragaragara ko Imana yategetse ko ubumuga bwose bukira, bityo rero, dukeneye rwose izuka rya Yesu nk’ivanjiri nziza.
Kimwe mu bice bigaragaza ibi ni nko mu 1 Abakorinto 6:19, hagira hati: “Ntimuzi ko imibiri yanyu ari insengero z’Umwuka Wera, uri muri mwe, uwo mwakiriye ku Mana? Nturi uwawe; waguzwe ku giciro. Noneho rero, mwubahe Imana n’imibiri yanyu".

Piper yagize ati: "Pawulo yavuze, tubonye icyubahiro cya Nyagasani, duhindurwa mu ishusho imwe kuva ku rwego rumwe rw’icyubahiro tujya ku rundi rwego kandi ko guhinduka ari uguhindura uko dukunda rwacu."
“Biragenda bisa n’ibyo Yesu yakundaga, ibyo yishimiraga, ibyo yemeye kandi akabiha agaciro".
