1Ngakho kufanele siqaphelelisise lokho esikuzwileyo ukuze singaduki.
2Ngoba nxa ilizwi elakhulunywa yizingilosi liqinisa njalo konke ukona lokungalaleli kuthole isijeziso sakho esifaneleyo,
3pho thina sizaphepha njani nxa singanaki insindiso enkulu kangaka na? Lokhu kusindiswa okwabikwa kuqala yiNkosi, kwafakazwa kithi yilabo abayizwayo.
4LoNkulunkulu wakufakaza ngezibonakaliso langezimangaliso ezithile, langezipho zikaMoya oNgcwele ezabiwa ngokwentando yakhe.
5Akusikho ezingilosini abeka khona ngaphansi kwazo ilizwe elizayo esikhuluma ngalo.
6Kodwa ikhona indawo lapho omunye ofakaza khona esithi:
7Wamenza waba mncinyazana kulezingilosi;
8wabeka lezinto zonke ngaphansi kwezinyawo zakhe.”2.8 AmaHubo 8.4-6
9Kodwa sibona yena, owenziwa waba ngaphansanyana kwezingilosi okwesikhatshana, uJesu, ebekwa umqhele wobukhosi lodumo ngoba wavuma ukufa ukuze kuthi ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ezwe ukufa ngenxa yabantu bonke.
10Ekuletheni amadodana amanengi enkazimulweni, kwakufanele ukuba uNkulunkulu, yena owenza zonke izinto njalo zabakhona ngenxa yakhe, enze umsunguli wokusindiswa kwabo aphelele ngokuhlupheka kwakhe.
11Ngoba lowo owenza abantu babengcwele kanye lalabo abenziwe baba ngcwele ngabendlunye. Ngakho uJesu kakumyangisi ukuba athi bangabafowabo.
12Uthi,
13Njalo uthi,
14Njengoba abantwana belomzimba legazi, laye wahlanganyela ebuntwini babo ukuze kuthi ngokufa kwakhe amchithe lowo ophethe amandla okufa okutsho uSathane,
15abakhulule ababesebugqilini impilo yabo yonke ngenxa yokwesaba kwabo ukufa.
16Ngoba impela akusizo ingilosi azisizayo kodwa inzalo ka-Abhrahama.
17Ngenxa yalokhu kwakumele enziwe afane labafowabo kukho konke ukuze abe ngumphristi omkhulu olesihawu lothembekileyo enkonzweni kaNkulunkulu, lokuba abeyinhlawulo yezono zabantu.
18Njengoba laye wahlupheka lapho elingwa, uyenelisa ukubasiza abalingwayo.
