KwabaseRoma 10:1-13

Bazalwane, isifiso senhliziyo yami nomkhuleko wami kuNkulunkulu ngo-Israyeli kuwukuba basindiswe. Ngokuba ngiyabafakazela ukuthi banentshiseko ngoNkulunkulu, kodwa kungengokokwazi. Ngokuba bengakwazi ukulunga kukaNkulunkulu, befuna ukumisa okwabo ukulunga, abazithobanga ekulungeni kukaNkulunkulu. Ngokuba uKristu uyisiphetho somthetho kube ngukulunga kubo bonke abakholwayo. Ngokuba uMose ubhala ukulunga okungokomthetho, ukuthi umuntu ozenzayo lezo zinto uyakuphila ngazo. Kepha ukulunga okungokukholwa kusho kanje: “Ungasho enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi: ‘Ngubani oyakwenyukela ezulwini na? (okungukuthi, ukwehlisa uKristu ezulwini:) Kumbe: Ngubani ozakwehlela ekujuleni? (okungukuthi, ukuvusa uKristu kwabafileyo.) Kodwa lithini? Izwi liseduze nawe, emlonyeni wakho nasenhliziyweni yakho, okungukuthi, izwi lokukholwa, esilishumayelayo; Ngokuba uma uvuma ngomlomo wakho ukuthi uJesu uyiNkosi, ukholwa enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo, uyakusindiswa. Ngokuba umuntu ukholwa ngenhliziyo kube ngukulunga; futhi ngomlomo kuvuma kube yinsindiso. Ngoba umbhalo uthi: Wonke okholwa kuye kayikujabha. Ngokuba akukho mehluko phakathi komJuda nomGreki, ngokuba iNkosi eyodwa phezu kwabo bonke inothile kubo bonke abakhuleka kuyo. Ngokuba yilowo nalowo obiza igama leNkosi uyakusindiswa.
