1Kepha ukukholwa kungukuqiniseka ngezinto ezithenjwayo, kuyiqiniso ngezinto ezingabonwayo. 2Ngokuba okhokho bafakazelwa ngakho.

3Ngokukholwa siqonda ukuthi izwe lonke ladatshulwa ngezwi likaNkulunkulu, kuze kuthi okubonwayo akuvelanga kokubonwayo.

4Ngokukholwa u-Abela wanikela kuNkulunkulu ngomhlatshelo omuhle kunoKayini, athola ngakho ubufakazi bokuthi ulungile, uNkulunkulu uqobo efakaza ngezipho zakhe; nangakho usakhuluma, noma efile.

5Ngokukholwa u-Enoke wathathwa, ukuze angaboni ukufa, akabe esafunyanwa, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wayemthabathile. Ngokuba engakathathwa ufakazelwe ukuthi wayethokozisa uNkulunkulu; 6kepha-ke ngaphandle kokukholwa akwenzeki ukumthokozisa; ngokuba ozayo kuNkulunkulu umelwe ukukholwa ukuthi ukhona nokuthi ungumvuzi walabo abamfunayo.

KumaHeberu 11:1-6ZUL59NOVula kumfundi weBhayibheli

Before Enoch was taken, he was commended as One who pleased God. He walked completely with God, His dependence on God and reliance on God was total. His conviction and assurance about God’s goodness was based on his faith in God. Poet and writer Rabindranath Tagore says: Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark. Some birds still continue to sing up until the time the last ray of light disappears. They sing through the dusk and into the dark because they know their Creator cares for them. And often they will begin to sing before there is daylight. It is not light enough for them to begin looking for food yet, Yet they can sing for they know that God will provide. Lord, may we be like the birds of the air.
