15. Ingqumbo kaThixo kaloku ibangwa kukwaphulwa komthetho wakhe; kodwa apho ungekhoyo umthetho akukho kwaphulwa kwamthetho.
16. Ngoko ke ilifa lifunyanwa ngokukholwa, oko kukuthi ngesisa. Ngale ndlela isithembiso simiselwe yonke inzala ka-Abraham. Le nzala ke asingabo nje abo bawugcinayo umthetho, kodwa ikwangâbo bakholwayo njengaye. Kaloku uAbraham ngubawo wethu sonke,
17. njengokuba zisitsho *iziBhalo ukuthi: “Ndikwenze uyise wezizwe ezininzi.” KuThixo ke uAbraham ngubawo wethu sonke; lo Thixo uAbraham athe wakholwa kuye; lo Thixo unika abafileyo ubomi; lo Thixo uthetha ngelizwi zitsho izinto ezingekabikho zibekho.
18. UAbraham wakholwa, wathemba, naxa ithemba lalingekho. Wakholwa okokuba woba “nguyise wezizwe ezininzi,” njengoko iziBhalo zitshoyo ukuthi: “Iya kuba ngako ke inzala yakho ukuba ninzi kwayo.”

23. La mazwi athi “wabalelwa ekubeni lilungisa” akabhekisi kuye yedwa.
