KUMAHEBHERE 6

₁Ngoko ke masizishiye iimfundiso zabaqalayo, siqhubele phambili kwezo zamakholwa akhulileyo. Masingabi saphindela emva, sibeka iziseko zokukholwa kuThixo, nenguquko kwimisebenzi ephuthileyo esasiyenza, ₂sifundisa ngobhaptizo, nokubekwa kwezandla, ngokuvuka kwabafileyo, nomgwebo ongunaphakade. ₃Emandleni eNkosi siya kuyenza ke loo nto.

_4-6Abantu ababekhe balungcamla ukhanyiselo, basiva isipho sasezulwini, baba nenxaxheba kuMoya oyiNgcwele, bakuva nokulunga kwelizwi likaThixo namandla ephakade elizayo, baza ke bakreqa, kungangenkankulu ukuba babuye baguqulwe. Kaloku kwabona baphinde bamxhoma uNyana kaThixo, bamenza isigculelo nentlekisa.

₇Intsimi ezifunxayo iimvula ezinayo, ize ivelise isivuno esimkholisayo umniniyo, iyathamsanqelwa nguThixo. ₈Kanti ke esuka ivelise ukhula nameva ayinto yanto, iphuthile, ifanelwe ngumlilo.

₉Zihlobo zam ezithandekayo, nakuba ndithetha ngolu hlobo nje, ndeyisekile kukuba nikwimeko efanelekileyo elusindisweni. ₁₀Kaloku yena uThixo akalotshijolo: akazange awulibale umsebenzi eniwenzileyo ngenxa yakhe, nothando enilubonakalise ngokulungiselela abantu bakhe – msebenzi lowo nisawuqhubayo unangoku. ₁₁Umnqweno wam kukuba nonke ngabanye ninga ningaqhubela phambili, nilubonakalisa olo langazelelo, lide lizaliseke ithemba lenu. ₁₂Andinqweneli ukuba nibe ngamanqenerha, koko ndifuna ukuba nilinganise abo bathe ngokholo nomonde balidla ilifa lezithembiso.

₁₃UThixo xa wayesenza isithembiso kuAbraham wazifunga kwayena; kaloku kwakungekho bani mkhulu kunaye wayengamfungayo. ₁₄Wenjenje ukuthetha: “Ndiya kukunisela amathamsanqa, sande sibe yinyambalala isizukulwana sakho.” ₁₅Ngenxa yomonde uAbraham wasizuza eso sithembiso. ₁₆Abantu xa befunga, bafunga lowo mkhulu kunabo; futhi ke isifungo siyayinqanda impikiswano. ₁₇NoThixo ke, xa wayefuna ukucacisela iindlalifa zesithembiso sakhe ukungaguquki kwenjongo yakhe, wasebenzisa isifungo. ₁₈Nâzo ke izinto ezimbini ezingenakujikwa – isifungo nesithembiso – ibe ke noThixo akanakuxoka. Ngoko ke thina basindileyo siyakhuthazwa ukuba sibambelele nkqi kweli themba liphambi kwethu. ₁₉Eli themba ke liyintsika yobomi bethu. Liyasikhusela, futhi lisisiqinisekiso. Lingena liye kutsho ngaphaya komkhusane, ₂₀apho uYesu aye kungena khona njengovulindlela omele thina. Kaloku yena ungumbingeleli wodidi lukaMelkizedeki oya kuhlala ehleli.
