KumaHeberu 4:1-13

Ngakho-ke masesabe, funa sisekhona isithembiso sokungena ekuphumuleni kwakhe, kube khona noyedwa kini obonakala esilela kuso. Ngokuba ivangeli lashunyayelwa nakithi njengabo; Ngokuba thina esikholwayo siyangena ekuphumuleni njengokusho kwakhe ukuthi: “Ngalokho ngafunga ekuthukutheleni kwami ngathi: ‘Abayikungena ekuphumuleni kwami,’ nakuba imisebenzi yayenziwa kusukela ekusekelweni komhlaba. Ngokuba wakhuluma ngosuku lwesikhombisa kanje, wathi: “UNkulunkulu waphumula ngosuku lwesikhombisa emisebenzini yakhe yonke; Lakulokhu futhi: Uba bezakungena ekuphumuleni kwami. Ngakho lokhu kusasele ukuthi abanye bangene kulo, lalabo okwatshunyayelwa kubo kuqala kabangenanga ngenxa yokungakholwa; Ubuye amise usuku oluthile, ethi ngoDavide: Namuhla, emva kwesikhathi esingaka; njengoba kuthiwa: Lamuhla uba lizwa ilizwi lakhe, lingazenzi lukhuni izinhliziyo zenu. Ngoba uba uJesu wayebaphumuzile, ubengasoze akhulume ngolunye usuku. Ngakho-ke abantu bakaNkulunkulu basalelwe ukuphumula; Ngoba lowo ongene ekuphumuleni kwakhe, laye uphumula emisebenzini yakhe, njengoNkulunkulu kweyakhe.

Ngokuba izwi likaNkulunkulu liphilile, linamandla, libukhali kunezinkemba zonke ezisika nhlangothi zombili, lihlaba kuze kwahlukaniswe umphefumulo nomoya, amalungu nomnkantsha, lahlulela imicabango nezizindlo zenhliziyo. Asikho isidalwa esingabonakali phambi kwakhe, kepha zonke izinto zíze, zivuliwe emehlweni alowo esizinda kuye.
