IzEnzo 27: 27-31 

27 Kwathi ukuba kufike ubusuku beshumi nane sisazulazuliswa elwandle lwase-Adriya phakathi kobusuku, abomkhumbi bacabanga ukuthi bayasondela ezweni elithile. 28 Base bephonsa intambo yokulinganisa, bafumana kungamafatome* angamashumi amabili; sebeqhubekile kancane bayiphonsa futhi, bafumana kungamafatome ayishumi nanhlanu; 29 besaba ukuthi mhlawumbe singashayeka ezindaweni ezinamadwala, baphonsa amahange* amane ngasemuva, bafisa ukuba kuse. 30 Abomkhumbi sebefuna ukubaleka emkhunjini, behlisela isikebhe elwandle ngokungathi bazakuphonsa amahange* enhlokweni yomkhumbi, 31 uPawulu wathi enduneni yekhulu nasemabuthweni: “Uma laba bengahlali emkhunjini, ningesindiswe nina."

Ilwa noma Baleka

Abaningi benu bezwile ukuthi ingqondo iphendula ukwesaba ngezindlela ezimbili, kungaba ukulwa noma ukubaleka. Uma umzimba ungaphansi kwengcindezi enkulu, ukusabela ngokwengqondo kukwenza unqume ukuthi uzohlala futhi "ulwe" nenkinga noma "ubaleke" futhi ubalekele udaba.

Sigcwele ukwesaba okwamanje. Sikwesinye sezikhathi ezinkulu zokungaqiniseki esizibone emashumini eminyaka, futhi ukwesaba okufanayo sonke esikuzwayo kungabonakala ngendlela ehlukile komunye nomunye wethu. Lapho sizizwa sisaba, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi uNkulunkulu owadala ukuthula unathi futhi akasoze asishiya phakathi nesiphepho. UNkulunkulu akakaze athembise ukuthi ngeke sibhekane nezivunguvungu noma izikhathi zokungaqiniseki; Wathembisa ukuthi uzakuba nathi lapho sihamba phakathi kwazo.

Ungawushiyi Umkhumbi

Njengoba sibhekene nokungaqiniseki, kubalulekile ukuthi singaphumi ngokushesha. UPawulu wakhuthaza la madoda ukuba ahlale nomkhumbi ngoba wayewathembisile ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayezowadlulisa kulesi siphepho. Noma ngabe kwenzekani emhlabeni wethu, singabambelela kuMsindisi ozosidlulisa. Iziphepho zizofika; dlula kuzo. Ukungaqiniseki kuyofika; yenqaba ukunyakaziswa. Akukaze kube khona isiphepho esingazange sedlule, futhi kuzoba njalo nangempilo yakho. Hlala emkhunjini; isivunguvungu sizodlula!
