Izithelo zokulunga

1Ngakho lokhu sesilungisisiwe ngokukholwa, sinokuthula kuNkulunkulu ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, 2okungaye sinokungena ngokukholwa kulo musa esimi kuwo, siyazibonga ekwethembeni inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu. 3Kepha akusikho lokho kuphela, kodwa sizibonga nangezinhlupheko ngokwazi ukuthi ukuhlupheka kuveza ukukhuthazela, 4ukukhuthazela kuveza ukuqiniseka, ukuqiniseka kuveza ithemba; 5ithemba alijabhisi, ngokuba uthando lukaNkulunkulu lutheliwe ezinhliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oNgcwele esimuphiweyo.

6Ngokuba sisebuthakathaka, uKristu wafela abangamesabi uNkulunkulu ngesikhathi esifaneleyo; 7ngokuba cishe kungenzeki ukuba umuntu afele olungileyo, kodwa mhlawumbe kungase kube khona ongaba nesibindi sokufela omuhle; 8kepha uNkulunkulu uyabonakalisa ukusithanda kwakhe ngalokhu ukuthi, siseyizoni, uKristu wasifela.

9Ngakho kakhulu sesilungisisiwe ngegazi lakhe, siyakusindiswa ngaye olakeni. 10Ngokuba uma sathola ukubuyisana noNkulunkulu ngokufa kweNdodana yakhe sise yizitha, ikakhulu siyakusindiswa ngokuphila kwayo sesitholile ukubuyisana; 11kepha akusikho lokho kuphela, kodwa sizibonga futhi ngoNkulunkulu ngeNkosi yethu uJesu Kristu, esesamukelisiwe ngaye ukubuyisana.

Isono nokufa kwafika ngo-Adamu

12Ngakho-ke njengalokho isono sangena ezweni ngamuntu munye, nangesono kwangena ukufa, ngokunjalo ukufa kwafikela abantu bonke, lokhu bonke bonile; 13ngokuba isono sasikhona ezweni kungakabikho umthetho, kepha isono asibalelwa ungekho umthetho; 14nokho ukufa kwabusa kusukela ku-Adamu kwaze kwaba kuMose, naphezu kwabangonanga ngendlela yeseqo sika-Adamu oyisifanekiso sakhe obeyakuza.

Ukulunga nokuphila kwafika ngoJesu

15Kepha isipho somusa asinjengesiphambeko; ngokuba uma ngesiphambeko samuntu munye abaningi bafa, ikakhulu kwavama kwabaningi umusa nesipho sikaNkulunkulu ngomusa wamuntu munye, uJesu Kristu. 16Isipho asinjengokona kwalowo emunye, ngokuba uma ukwahlulela kwaba ngoyedwa kube ngukulahlwa, isipho somusa sona-ke saba ngeziphambeko eziningi kube ngukulungisiswa. 17Ngokuba uma ngesiphambeko samuntu munye ukufa kwabusa ngalowo emunye, ikakhulu abamukela ukuvama komusa nokuvama kwesipho sokulunga bayakubusa ekuphileni ngalowo emunye, uJesu Kristu.

KwabaseRoma 5:1-17ZUL59NOVula kumfundi weBhayibheli

Since we have been justified through faith, we may have peace with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into the grace we now stand. Our faith is not only intellectual understanding; faith is a deliberate commitment to the person of Jesus Christ, even when we cannot see the way ahead. Help us to live in the person of Jesus, that our words are the words of our Lord Jesus Christ.
