3 The scripture says, "Abraham believed God, and because of his faith God accepted him as righteous." 4A person who works is paid wages, but they are not regarded as a gift; they are something that has been earned.
Ri ri: "Abrahama ú pfumerile eka Xikwembu, kutani xi n'wi hlayile la lulameke hikwalaho ka swona." 4Eka loyi a tirhaka, leswi a kumaka swona i hakelo ya ntirho wa yena; a swi hlayiwi leswaku i nyiko.
