Romans 4:7-12

“Babusisiwe abathethelelwe izeqo zabo,
nabazono zabo zisitshekelwe;
ubusisiwe umuntu
iNkosi engayikumbalela isono.
U-Abrahama wamukeliswa isithembiso ngokukholwa.”

Ngakho-ke lokhu kubusiswa kuqondene nabasokile noma nabangasokile na? Ngokuba sithi: Ukukholwa kwabalelwa u-Abrahama ukuthi kungukulunga. Pho, kwabalelwa kanjani na? Esesokile yini noma engakasoki na? Akubanga esesokile, kodwa engakasoki. Wasamukela isibonakaliso sokusoka, sibe luphawu lokulunga kokukholwa ayenakho engakasoki, ukuba abe nguyise wabo bonke abakholwayo bengasokile, ukuze ukulunga kubalelwe kubona, futhi abe nguyise wabasokileyo, kungabi ngowabasokileyo kuphela, kepha nowabo abahamba emkhondweni wokukholwa ubaba u-Abrahama ayenakho engakasoki.
