1 Hawu maGalathiya ayizithutha, ngubani oliloyileyo ^a ukuze lingalaleli ^b iqiniso ^{c
,} ^d, lina abekwa obala phambi kwamehlo enu uJesu Kristu, ebethelwe phakathi kwenu ^e? 2 Yilokhu kuphela engithanda ukukufunda kini ukuthi: Lemukela uMoya ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini ^f, loba ngokuzwa ^g kokholo ^h? 3 Kanti liyizithutha kangaka? Liqale ngoMoya ⁱ selipheleliswa ngenyama yini? 4 Lahlupheka izinto ezinengi ^{▼▼ ezinengi: kumbe, ezinkulu.} kangaka ngeze yini? Uba-ke ngitsho ngeze ^k. 5 Ngakho yena olinika uMoya losebenza imisebenzi yamandla phakathi kwenu, kungaba ngemisebenzi yomlayo yini, kumbe ngokuzwa kokholo ^l?

6 NjengoAbrahama wakholwa kuNkulunkulu, kwabalelwa-ke kuye ukuthi yikulunga ^m. 7 Ngakho liyazi ukuthi labo abangabokholo ⁿ, bona bangabantwana bakaAbrahama ^o. 8 Lombhalo, ubona ngaphambili ukuthi uNkulunkulu ^p ulungisisa abezizwe ngokholo ^q, watshumayela ivangeli ngaphambili kuAbrahama wathi: Izizwe zonke zizabusiswa kuwe ^r. 9 Ngakho abangabokholo babusiswa kanye loAbrahama okholwayo ^s.

10 Ngoba bonke abemisebenzi yomlayo bangaphansi kwesiqalekiso ^t; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke ongaqhubeki kukho konke okulotshiweyo encwadini yomlayo ukukwenza ^u. 11 Kodwa kusobala ukuthi ngomlayo kakulamuntu olungisiswayo phambi kukaNkulunkulu ^v; ngoba: Olungileyo uzaphila ngokholo ^w; 12 kodwa umlayo kawusiwo wokholo, kodwa kuthiwa: Umuntu owenza lezizinto uzaphila kuzo ^x. 13 UKristu ^y wasihlenga kusiqalekiso somlayo, esenziwe waba yisiqalekiso esikhundleni sethu ^z; ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: Uqalekisiwe wonke ^aa olenga esihlahleni ^ab; 14 ukuze kuthi isibusiso sikaAbrahama sifike kwabezizwe ngoKristu Jesu ^ac, ukuze semukele ^ad isithembiso sikaMoya ngokholo ^ae.

15 Bazalwane, ngikhuluma njengokomuntu ^af; ngitsho isivumelwano somuntu ^ag esiqinisiweyo ^ah, kakho osichithayo loba osengezelelayo ^ai. 16 Njalo izithembiso zakhulunywa ^aj kuAbrahama lenzalweni yakhe ^ak. Katsho ukuthi: Lezinzalweni, njengokungathi zinengi, kodwa njengokungathi ngeyodwa ukuthi ^al: Lenzalweni yakho, enguKristu ^am. 17 Lalokho ngiyakutsho: Umlayo oweza emva kweminyaka engamakhulu amane lamatshumi amathathu kawusesuli isivumelwano esaqiniswa nguNkulunkulu kuKristu ngaphambili ^an, ukuze usenze isithembiso sibe yize ^{ao
,} ^{ap
,} ^aq. 18 Ngoba uba ilifa livela emlayweni, alisaveli esithembisweni; kodwa uNkulunkulu walinika uAbrahama ngesithembiso ^ar.

Umsebenzi womlayo

19 Pho, umlayo uyini? Wengezwa ngenxa yeziphambeko ^as, kuze kufike inzalo eyanikwa isithembiso ^at; wamiswa ngezingilosi ^au esandleni somlamuli ^av. 20 Kodwa umlamuli kayisuye woyedwa ^aw, kodwa uNkulunkulu munye ^ax. 21 Pho umlayo uphambene lezithembiso zikaNkulunkulu yini? Phinde ^ay! Ngoba uba wawunikiwe umlayo olamandla okuphilisa, isibili ukulunga ngabe kuvela ngomlayo ^az. 22 Kodwa umbhalo ^ba uvalele konke ngaphansi kwesono ^bb, ukuze isithembiso ^bc ngokholo lukaJesu Kristu siphiwe abakholwayo ^bd.

23 Kodwa kungakafiki ukholo ^be, sasilondolozwe ngaphansi komlayo ^bf, sivalelwe kuze kube sekholweni obeluzakwembulwa ^bg. 24 Ngakho umlayo ^bh wawungumeluleki wethu kuKristu ^bi, ukuze silungisiswe ngokholo ^bj; 25 kodwa selufikile ukholo ^bk, kasisekho ngaphansi kukameluleki ^bl. 26 Ngoba lonke lingabantwana bakaNkulunkulu ngokholo kuKristu Jesu ^bm. 27 Ngoba lonke elabhabhathizelwa kuKristu ^bn, lembethe uKristu ^bo; 28 kakukho umJuda lomGriki ^bp, kakukho obotshiweyo lokhululekileyo ^bq, kakukho owesilisa lowesifazana ^br; ngoba lina lonke limunye kuKristu Jesu ^bs. 29 Uba-ke lingabakaKristu ^bt, ngakho liyinzalo kaAbrahama ^bu, njalo liyizindlalifa njengokwesithembiso ^bv.
