KumaHeberu 11:4-11

Ngokukholwa u-Abela wanikela kuNkulunkulu ngomhlatshelo omuhle kunokaKayini, afumana ngakho ubufakazi bokuthi ulungile, uNkulunkulu efakaza ngezipho zakhe; Ngokukholwa u-Enoke wasuswa, ukuze angaboni ukufa; akafunyanwanga, ngokuba uNkulunkulu wayemthathile; Kepha ngaphandle kokukholwa akwenzeki ukumthokozisa, ngokuba ozayo kuNkulunkulu umelwe ukukholwa ukuthi ukhona nokuthi ungumvuzi walabo abamfunayo. Ngokukholwa uNowa, exwayisiwe nguNkulunkulu ngezinto ebezingakabonwa, ngokwesaba wakha umkhumbi wokusindisa indlu yakhe; ngalo walahla umhlaba, waba yindlalifa yokulunga okungokukholwa. Ngokukholwa u-Abrahama walalela ebizwa ukuba aphume, aye endaweni abezakuyamukeliswa ibe yifa; waphuma engazi lapho eya khona. Ngokholo wagogobala elizweni lesithembiso njengowezizwe, ehlala emathenteni kanye loIsaka loJakobe, ababeyizindlalifa kanye laye zalesosithembiso; Ngokuba wayebheke umuzi onezisekelo, omakhi nomenzi wawo nguNkulunkulu. Ngokukholwa naye uSara uqobo wathola amandla okukhulelwa, esedlulelwe yisikhathi, wabeletha, ngokuba wathi ukholekile owethembisileyo.
