Uma kuxoxwa ngomqondo wokumiselwa kusengaphambili, into yokuqala abantu abavame ukuyisho ukuthi ayilungile. Nokho, uma ukubheka ngokweBhayibheli okuwukuphela kwento engalungile ukuthi uNkulunkulu wathumela iNdodana yakhe ukuba izofela izoni ezinjengami nawe. Sonke sifanelwe isihogo, kodwa ngomusa omkhulu kaNkulunkulu, ukhetha okunye. IBhayibheli licacile ngale ndaba kumaRoma isahluko 9. UPawuli uya endabeni kaJakobe no-Esawu, eshiwo kuGenesise 25.
