Abakholwayo baseluxolweni noThixo

1Njengoko sikholwa, sígwetyelwe nguThixo, sinoxolo naye ngenxa yeNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu. 2Kaloku sibe nako ukungena ngoKrestu ngokukholwa kolu babalo sikulo. Siyaqhayisa ke sithembe ukuba nenxaxheba ebuqaqawulini bukaThixo. 3Ngaphezu koko, siqhayisa nangeembandezelo ezi, sisazi nje ukuba iimbandezelo zisiqhelisa ukunyamezela. 4Ke ukunyamezela kubonisa ukuba sicikidekile. Ukucikideka ke kudala ithemba. 5Ithemba ke lona alidanisi, kuba uthando lukaThixo luthululelwe ezintliziyweni zethu ngoMoya oyiNgcwele esamnikwayo. 6Kuba kaloku oko besisengama-athalala, uKrestu uthe ngexesha elimiswe nguThixo, wabafela abangamhloneliyo uThixo. 7Inqabile into yokuba umntu afele omnye, naxa mhlawumbi anokubhaqeka umntu onesibindi sokufela umntu olungileyo. 8Ke yena uThixo ukuqondakalisile ukusithanda kwakhe ngokuthi uKrestu asifele sisengaboni! 9Sigwetyelwe nje ngenxa yegazi lakhe, kokukhona siya kusindiswa ngaye kuyo ingqumbo kaThixo. 10Kaloku besikade siziintshaba noThixo, saxolelaniswa naye ngokufa koNyana wakhe. Kobeka phi ke ukusindiswa kwethu ngokudla kwakhe ubomi! 11Ngaphezu koko ke, sineqhayiya novuyo ngaye uThixo, ngenxa yeNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu, esithe ngayo saxolelaniswa noThixo.

Ukufa kuze ngoAdam, ubomi ngoKrestu

12Njengoko isono sangena ehlabathini ngenxa yomntu omnye, ukufa kwangena ngaso isono. Ngokunjalo ke nokufa kwalutyhutyha lonke uluntu, kuba bonke abantu bôna. 13Isono ke sabakho ehlabathini ungekabikho *umthetho kaMosis. Ke, apho kungekho mthetho, isono sokwaphula umthetho asinakubalelwa mntwini. 14Ke ukufa kwakutshatshele ukususela kuAdam kwada kwaya kuthi gaa kuMosis, nakwabo basono singafani nesika-Adam. Lo Adam ke wayengumfuziselo waloo Mntu wayeza kufika.

15Kodwa isono sika-Adam asinakulinganiswa nesisa sikaThixo. Kaloku naxa kwafa abantu abaninzi nje ngenxa yesono salowo mnye unguAdam, lona ubabalo lukaThixo esalufumana ngaloo mntu mnye unguKrestu, lwaphuphumela kubantu abaninzi ngakumbi. 16Kanti ke isiqhamo sesipho sikaThixo asinakulinganiswa nesiphumo sesono saloo mntu. Kaloku isiphumo sesono saloo mntu saba kukugwetywa, kodwa isiqhamo sesisa sikaThixo esabakho ngenxa yezono ezininzi, saba kukukhululwa kwabantu. 17Ukuba ukufa kwakutshatshele ngenxa yesono saloo mntu, abo balwamkelayo ubabalo oluphuphumayo kwanesipho sokwenziwa amalungisa, baya kudla ubomi ngokugqithisileyo ngaloo mntu mnye unguYesu Krestu.

KWABASEROMA 5:1-17XHO96Vula kumfundi weBhayibhile

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.
