Okholwayo usindiswa ekulahlweni, ahambe ngokukaMoya

1Kanjalo akusekho ukulahlwa kwabakuKristu Jesu. 2Ngokuba umthetho kaMoya wokuphila okuKristu Jesu ungikhululile emthethweni wesono nowokufa. 3Ngokuba lokho okwehlula umthetho, ngokuba ungenamandla ngenxa yenyama, wakwenza uNkulunkulu ngokuthuma iNdodana yakhe ifana nenyama yesono, nangenxa yesono walahla isono enyameni, 4ukuze umyalo womthetho ugcwaliseke kithina esingahambi ngokwenyama kepha ngokukaMoya.

5Ngokuba abokwenyama banaka okwenyama, kepha abakaMoya banaka okukaMoya. 6Ngokuba ukunaka kwenyama kungukufa, kepha ukunaka kukaMoya kungukuphila nokuthula. 7Ngokuba ukunaka kwenyama kungubutha kuNkulunkulu; ngokuba akuwuthobeli umthetho kaNkulunkulu, yebo, futhi kungekwenze; 8abasenyameni abanakumthokozisa uNkulunkulu.

9Kepha nina anisenyameni, kodwa nikuye uMoya, uma uMoya kaNkulunkulu ehlala kini. Kepha uma umuntu engenaye uMoya kaKristu, lowo kasiye owakhe. 10Uma uKristu ekini, umzimba ufile ngenxa yesono, kepha umoya ungukuphila ngenxa yokulunga. 11Uma-ke uMoya walowo owavusa uJesu kwabafileyo ehlala kini, yena owavusa uKristu Jesu kwabafileyo uyakuphilisa nemizimba yenu efayo ngaye uMoya wakhe ohlala kini.

12Ngalokho-ke, bazalwane, asinacala kuyo inyama lokuba sihambe ngokwenyama. 13Ngokuba uma nihamba ngokwenyama, nizakufa; kepha uma nibulala imisebenzi yomzimba ngoMoya, nizakuphila. 14Ngokuba bonke abaholwa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu, labo bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. 15Ngokuba anamukeliswanga umoya wobugqila ukuba nibuye nesabe, kepha namukeliswa umoya wobuntwana esimemeza ngaye sithi: “Aba, Baba!” 16Yena lowo Moya ufakaza kanye nomoya wethu ukuthi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. 17Uma-ke singabantwana, siyizindlalifa futhi, izindlalifa zikaNkulunkulu, izindlalifa kanye noKristu, uma phela sihlupheka kanye naye, ukuze siphiwe inkazimulo futhi kanye naye.
