KumaHeberu 2:5-18

Ngokuba akalibekanga kuzo izingelosi izwe elizayo esikhuluma ngalo. Kodwa omunye wafakaza endaweni ethile esithi: Uyini umuntu ukuthi umkhumbule? Kumbe indodana yomuntu ukuthi uyihambele? Wamenza waba mncinyane kunezingelosi; wamthwesa umqhele wenkazimulo nodumo, wammisa phezu kwemisebenzi yezandla zakho; Zonke izinto wazibeka phansi kwezinyawo zakhe. Ngokuba ekubekeni konke phansi kwakhe, akashiyanga lutho olungabekwanga phansi kwakhe. Kodwa kalokhu asikaboni zonke izinto zibe ngaphansi kwakhe. Kepha siyambona owenziwe waba mncinyane isikhashana kunezingelosi, uJesu ethweswe umqhele wenkazimulo nodumo ngenxa yokuhlupheka kokufa; ukuze ngomusa kaNkulunkulu ezwe ukufa ngenxa yawo wonke umuntu. Ngokuba kwakumfanele yena, okukhona konke ngenxa yakhe, nezikhona ngaye zonke izinto, lapho eletha amadodana amaningi enkazimulweni, aphelelise ngezinhlupheko umbusi wensindiso yawo. Ngoba kokubili ongcwelisayo lalabo abangcweliswayo bonke bavela oyedwa; Esithi: Ngizalitshumayela ibizo lakho kubazalwane bami, phakathi kwebandla ngizahlabelela kuwe indumiso. Futhi futhi: Ngizabeka ithemba lami kuye. Futhi futhi: Bheka mina nabantwana uNkulunkulu anginike bona. Ngakho lokhu abantwana bahlanganyela igazi lenyama, laye uqobo wahlanganyela khona lokho; ukuze ngokufa ambhubhise lowo owayenamandla okufa, okungukuthi, uSathane; futhi abakhulule labo ababeboshelwe ebugqilini ukuphila kwabo konke ngokwesaba ukufa. Ngokuba impela akathathanga isimo sezingelosi; kodwa wathatha inzalo kaAbrahama. Ngakho kwamfanela ukuthi afane labafowabo kukho konke, ukuze abe ngumpristi omkhulu olesihawu lothembekileyo ezintweni ezimayelana loNkulunkulu, ukuze enze inhlawulo yokuthula ngezono zabantu. Ngokuba kulokhu wahlupheka yena elingwa, unamandla okusiza abalingwayo.
