Kwabase-Efesu 2:1-5

Nani nanifile ngenxa yeziphambeko nezono zenu, lezi enanikade nihamba kuzo ngokwendlela yaleli lizwe, ngokombusi wamandla omkhathi, ongumoya osebenza kubantwana bokungalaleli, esasikade sihamba sonke phakathi kwabo ezinkanukweni zenyama yethu eyonakeleyo, senza intando yenyama eyonakeleyo neyemicabango; sasingabantwana bolaka ngokwemvelo njengabo bonke abanye. Kepha uNkulunkulu ecebile ngesihawu, nangenxa yothando lwakhe olukhulu asithanda ngalo, nalapho sasifile ngenxa yeziphambeko, wasiphilisa kanye noKhristu – ngomusa nisindisiwe.
