    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I want to quote scriptures. The Bible says, we have all got short of God’s glory. No one is holier than God. We are limited as human beings. We all bear our superscription of God because we were created by God. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I plead with you, since you are mature and an elder. We will always be here respecting you. Jesus Christ himself said forgive your brother and sisters as many times as possible. He said seventy times seven. Can you imagine? Whatever our brothers and sisters have done, is not even thirty or forty. They are yet to make mistakes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Jesus died because of our sins. We have to appeal to and respect the Bible. The other thing I want to touch on is in the book of Romans. The Bible says respect the leadership. No leader has come here by default. You are the choice of the Lord. You represent people. Since you respect the people who elected you into this Senate, it is our humble request that all Senators who are here respect leaders. The Bible also talks about Peter who made a mistake of cutting someone’s ear. Jesus stopped him but he did not return the ear. To our colleagues, forgiveness does not remove the consequences of sin."
