11 Okokuba ke akukho namnye ugwetyelwayo ngomthetho kuye uThixo, kuyabonakala; ngokuba lowo ùlilungisa, uya kudla ubomi obuphuma elukholweni.
12 Wona ke umthetho asingowaselukholweni; úthi, Umntu owazenzayo ezo zinto uya kudla ubomi ngazo.
13 UKristu wasithenga, wasikhulula esiqalekisweni somthetho, ngokwenziwa isiqalekiso ngenxa yethu (kuba kubhaliwe kwathiwa, Uqalekisiwe wonke umntu oxhonywe emthini);
14 ukuze intsikelelo ka-Abraham ibe sezintlangeni ngoKristu Yesu, ukuze idinga loMoya silamkele ngalo ukholo.
15 Bazalwana, ndithetha ngokwabantu: kwanowomntu umnqophiso ozinzisiweyo, akukho namnye uwutshitshisayo, athi mhlawumbi ongeze kuwo.
16 Enziwa ke kuye uAbraham amadinga, nakuyo imbewu yakhe. Akathi, nakuzo iimbewu, ngathi uthetha ezininzi; usuka ngathi uthetha nye, athi, Nakuyo imbewu yakho: nguKristu ke lowo.
17 Ukutsho ke ndithi, Umnqophiso ozinzisiweyo ngenxa engaphambili nguThixo, usingisele kuKristu, awunakuphangwa igunya ngumthetho, owabakhoyo emva kweminyaka engamakhulu omané anamanci mathathu, ukuze ulibhangise idinga elo.
