Impilo Ebuswa NguMoya KaKhristu
1 Kanjalo akusekho ukulahlwa kwabakuKhristu uJesu. 2 Ngokuba umthetho kaMoya wokuphila okuKhristu uJesu ungikhululile emthethweni wesono nowokufa. 3 Phela lokho okwakwehlula umthetho, ngokuba inyama yemvelo iwuthene amandla, uNkulunkulu wakwenza ngokuthumela iNdodana yakhe inesimo somzimba wesono, ukuze ibhekane ngqo nesono, sinqotshwe isono enyameni, 4 ukuze izimfanelo ezinhle ezifunwa ngumthetho zifezeke kithi, thina esingahambi ngokwenyama, kodwa ngokukaMoya.
5 Ngokuba abokwenyama banaka okwenyama, kepha abakaMoya banaka okukaMoya. 6 Ngokuba ukubeka ingqondo ezintweni zenyama kungukufa, kepha ukuyibeka ezintweni zikaMoya kungukuphila nokuthula. 7 Ngokuba ukucabanga komuntu esenyameni kungubutha kuNkulunkulu, lokhu akuwuthobeli umthetho kaNkulunkulu, futhi akusoze kwawuthobela, 8ngokuba abasabuswa yimvelo abanakumthokozisa uNkulunkulu.
9 Kepha nina anibuswa yinyama yemvelo, kodwa nikuye uMoya, inqobo nje uma uMoya kaNkulunkulu ehlala kini. Kepha uma umuntu engenaye uMoya kaKhristu, lowo kasiye owakhe. 10 Uma uKhristu ekini, umzimba ufile ngenxa yesono, kodwa umoya ungukuphila ngenxa yokulunga. 11Uma-ke uMoya walowo owavusa uJesu kwabafileyo ehlala kini, lowo owamvusa uKhristu uJesu kwabafileyo uyakuyiphilisa nemizimba yenu efayo ngaye uMoya wakhe ohlala kini.
12Ngakho-ke bazalwane, asinasikweletu kuyo inyama ukuba siphile ngayo. 13Ngokuba uma nihamba ngokwenyama, nizakufa noma kanjani, kodwa uma nibulala imisebenzi yomzimba ngoMoya, nizakuphila. 14Bonke abaholwa nguMoya kaNkulunkulu, labo-ke bangabantwana bakaNkulunkulu, 15 ngokuba anamukeliswanga umoya wobugqila ukuba nibuye nesabe, kepha namukeliswa umoya wobuntwana esimemeza ngaye sithi: “Abba, Baba!” 16 Yena lowo Moya ufakaza kanye nomoya wethu ukuthi singabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. 17 Uma-ke singabantwana, siyizindlalifa futhi; izindlalifa zikaNkulunkulu, nezindlalifa kanye noKhristu, uma nje sihlupheka kanye naye, ukuze futhi sikhazimuliswe kanye naye.
Abantwana BakaNkulunkulu Bayakungena Ebukhosini Emva Kwezinhlupheko
18 Ngokuba ngithi izinhlupheko zesikhathi samanje azinakulinganiswa nenkazimulo ezayo, eyakwembulwa kithina; 19ngokuba okudaliweyo kulindele ngokulangazelela ukwembulwa kwabantwana bakaNkulunkulu. 20 Ngokuba indalo yabekwa phansi kobuze, kungengentando yayo, kodwa ngentando yowayibekayo, ngethemba lokuthi, 21 nayo indalo uqobo iyakukhululwa ebugqileni bokubhubha, ikhululelwe enkazimulweni yabantwana bakaNkulunkulu.
22Ngokuba siyazi ukuthi yonke indalo iyabubula kanyekanye, inezinseka ezinzima kuze kube manje. 23 Akusikho nje lokho kuphela, kodwa nathi uqobo lwethu esinolibo lokuqala lukaMoya, siyabubula phakathi kwethu; silindele ngethemba elikhulu isimo sobuntwana, ukukhululwa komzimba wethu. 24 Ngokuba ngethemba sisindisiwe, kepha ithemba elibonwayo alisilo ithemba, ngokuba lokhu umuntu akubonayo usakwethembelani na? 25Kepha uma sithemba lokho esingakuboniyo, siyakulindela ngokubekezela.
26Ngokunjalo noMoya uyasisiza ebuthakathakeni bethu, ngokuba asikwazi esifanele ukukucela, kodwa uMoya uqobo uyasinxusela ngokububula okungakhulumeki ngamazwi. 27 Kepha Yena ohlola izinhliziyo uyakwazi okuqondwa nguMoya, ngokuba unxusela abangcwele ngokwentando kaNkulunkulu.
28 Siyazi ukuthi kwabamthandayo uNkulunkulu, konke kusebenzelana kube ngokuhle, kulabo ababiziweyo ngokwecebo lakhe. 29 Ngokuba labo ayebazi phambilini, wabamisa kwaphambilini ukuba bafane nesimo seNdodana yakhe, ukuze yona ibe yizibulo kubazalwane abaningi; 30 labo abamisile ngaphambilini, ubabizile futhi; labo ababizile, ubalungisisile futhi; labo abalungisisile, ubakhazimulisile futhi.
Umuntu Unqoba Ngaye UJesu
31 Sesiyakuthini ngalokho na? Uma uNkulunkulu emi ngakithi, ngubani ongamelana nathi na? 32 Yena ongayigodlanga eyakhe iNdodana, kodwa wayinikela ngenxa yethu sonke. Kungaba kanjani pho, ukuba angasiphi konke kanye nayo na? 33 Ngubani oyakumangalela abakhethiweyo bakaNkulunkulu na? UNkulunkulu ungolungisisayo. 34 Kanti ngubani ozakulahla ngecala na? NguKhristu uJesu owafayo, yebo owavuswa kwabafileyo, ongakwesokunene sikaNkulunkulu, nguYena osinxuselayo. 35Pho ngubani ozakusehlukanisa nothando lukaKhristu na? Ngabe ukuhlupheka noma usizi; ukuhlushwa noma indlala ukuhamba ze noma ingozi, noma yinkemba na? 36 Ngokuba kulotshiwe ukuthi:
“Ngenxa yakho, sibulawa usuku lonke;
sifana nezimvu zokuhlatshwa.”
37 Kepha kukho konke lokho, siyanqoba nokunqoba ngowasithandayo. 38 Ngiyakholwa ukuthi nakufa, nakuphila, nazingelosi, nababusi, nakho okukhona, nakho okuzayo, namandla, 39 nakuphakama, nakujula, nanoma yini enye edaliweyo; akuyukuba namandla okusehlukanisa nothando lukaNkulunkulu olukuKhristu uJesu, iNkosi yethu.
