Ngoba akukho mehluko; ngokuba bonke bonile, basilalelwe inkazimulo kaNkulunkulu, balungisiswa ngesihle ngomusa wakhe ngokuhlengwa okukuKristu Jesu, uNkulunkulu ambeka waba yinhlawulo yokuhlawulela ngegazi lakhe, ngokukholwa ukukhombisa ukulunga kwakhe, ngokuba ngokubekezela uNkulunkulu wayedlulise izono ezazenziwa phambilini, ukukhombisa ukulunga kwaKhe esikhathini samanje, ukuze abe ngolungileyo futhi alungisise lowo onokholo kuJesu. Kuphi-ke ukuziqhayisa? Ayifakwanga. Ngamuphi umthetho? Yemisebenzi? Cha, kodwa ngomthetho wokholo. Ngakho-ke siphetha ngokuthi umuntu ulungisiswa ngokukholwa ngaphandle kwemisebenzi yomthetho. ” (AmaRoma 3: 21-28)
