»Mu lingaliro lachi Greek la kusafa, thupi limangokhala ndende ya mzimu ... Mzimu umapangidwa kukhala wosakhoza kufa, chifukwa chake munthu weniweni sangafe. M’malingaliro apawiri awa, imfa imatengedwa mopepuka. Imfa ndi bwenzi. Amatimasula kundende ya matupi athu.
Komabe palibe paliponse m’Baibulo pamene mzimu wa munthu umaonedwa kuti ndi wosakhoza kufa. Njira yokhayo imene munthu angakhale ndi moyo pambuyo pa imfa ndi kuuka kwa akufa - chozizwitsa.« (Mawu a Chikhulupiriro, Kansas City (2001), p. 110)

Imfa yokhala ndi icing ndiyofala, koma bodza lolembedwa m’masamba oyambirira a Baibulo: “Simudzafa ayi; Koma Mulungu akudziwa kuti tsiku limene mudzadya umenewo, maso anu adzatseguka ndithu, ndipo mudzakhala ngati Mulungu, ndipo mudzazindikira zabwino ndi zoipa!’ ( Genesis 3,4.5:1, 15,26 ) Mitundu yonse ya kupulumuka imfa yamwamsanga imabwereranso ku bodza limeneli. . M’malo mwake, zoona zake n’zakuti, “mdani womalizira ndi imfa.” ( XNUMX           XNUMX   

“Ngati imfa imatanthauza kulekanitsidwa kwa mzimu wosakhoza kufa ndi thupi lofa, ndipo ngati mzimu uli wonyamula kudzimvera, sikunganenedwe kuti munthu amafa nkomwe. ›Amangodumphadumpha kuti achotse koyilo yachivundiyi‹[»kuchotsa chivundikiro ichi«; Shakespeare ku Hamlet]. Izi sizikugwirizana konse ndi malingaliro a Bayibulo onena za imfa ...

Malinga ndi lingaliro la Baibulo, chiphunzitso cha kusafa kwa mzimu chimawoneka ngati kuyesa kozama kuchotsa mbola ya imfa.” ( George Stuart Hendry, Chivomerezo cha Westminster cha Lero, John Knox Press (1960), p. 245)
