UKhristu Waba Mncane Kunezingelosi Esasebenza Umsebenzi Wensindiso Emhlabeni
5Ngokuba izwe elizayo esikhuluma ngalo kalithobiselanga phansi kwezingilosi. 6Kepha omunye ufakazile kwenye indawo, wathi:
“Umuntu uyini ukuba umkhumbule,
noma indodana yomuntu ukuba uyinake na?
7Okwesikhashana wamenza ngaphansana kwezingelosi,
wamfaka umqhele wenkazimulo nodumo,
wammisa phezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zakho,
zonke izinto wazibeka phansi kwezinyawo zakhe.”
8Lapho ebeka konke phansi kwezinyawo zakhe, kashiyanga lutho okungabekwanga phansi kwakhe. Kepha manje asikaziboni izinto zonke zibekwe phansi kwakhe. 9Kepha siyambona uJesu, owenziwa waba ngaphansana kwezingelosi isikhashana, esethweswe manje umqhele wenkazimulo nodumo, ngenxa yokuba wahlupheka waze wafa, ukuze ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ezwe ukufa ngenxa yabo bonke.
10Ngokuba kwakumfanele Yena, okukhona konke ngenxa yakhe, futhi okukhona ngaye, ukuba lapho eyisa amadodana amaningi enkazimulweni, amphelelise ngezinhlupheko lowo oyisiqalo sensindiso yabo. 11Ngokuba ongcwelisayo nalabo abangcweliswayo bonke bavela koyedwa. Yingakho engenamahloni okubabiza ngokuthi ngabafowethu, 12ethi:
“Ngizakushumayela igama lakho kubafowethu,
ngikuhubele phakathi kwebandla,”
13futhi uthi:
“Ngiyakubeka ithemba lami kuye,”
abuye athi:
“Sengilapha, mina nabantwana
uNkulunkulu anginike bona.”
14Ngakho-ke njengalokhu abantwana bahlanganyela igazi nenyama, naye uqobo wahlanganyela khona lokho, ukuze ngokufa kwakhe ambhubhise onamandla phezu kokufa; uSathane, 15akhulule bonke okwathi ngokwesaba ukufa besaphila, baboshelwa ebugqileni. 16Ngokuba kuyakhanya ukuthi akezanga ukuzosiza izingelosi, kodwa labo abayinzalo ka-Abhrahama. 17Ngakho kwamfanela ukuba abe njengabafowabo kukho konke, ukuze abe ngumphristi omkhulu onozwelo nothembekileyo kokukaNkulunkulu, kube yinhlawulo yezono zabantu. 18Njengalokhu Yena uqobo wahlupheka elingwa, unamandla okusiza abalingwayo.
