Ingabe nahlupheka kangaka ngeze na? uba kuseyize. Ngakho yena oniphayo uMoya nowenza imisebenzi yamandla phakathi kwenu ukwenza ngemisebenzi yomthetho noma ngezwi lokukholwa na? njengalokho u-Abrahama wakholwa nguNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa kuye ukuthi kungukulunga. Ngakho yazini ukuthi abangabokukholwa yibona abangabantwana bakaAbrahama. Umbhalo ubona ngaphambili ukuthi uNkulunkulu uzakulungisisa abezizwe ngokukholwa, walitshumayela ngaphambili ivangeli kuAbrahama, lokuthi: Izizwe zonke zizabusiswa ngawe. Ngakho-ke abokukholwa bayabusiswa kanye no-Abrahama okholwayo. Ngokuba bonke abemisebenzi yomthetho baphansi kwesiqalekiso, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Baqalekisiwe bonke abangahlali kukho konke okulotshiweyo encwadini yomthetho, ukuba bakwenze. Kodwa ukuthi ngomthetho kakho olungisiswayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu, kusobala, ngoba olungileyo uzaphila ngokukholwa. Nomthetho awusiwo ongowokukholwa, kodwa uthi: Umuntu owenzayo uyakuphila ngakho. UKristu wasihlenga esiqalekisweni somthetho, esenziwe isiqalekiso ngenxa yethu, ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi: “Uqalekisiwe wonke olenga emthini; ukuze isibusiso sika-Abrahama sibe phezu kwabezizwe ngoKristu Jesu; ukuze samukele isithembiso sikaMoya ngokukholwa.
