The sacrifice of expiation allows God to pardon, but itself does not secure pardon, because it deals with sin, not righteousness.
A dutse hodima tempele ya Modimo, a ipitsa Modimo; o tshwarela dibe lefatsheng, mme seo setla etsahala, mme bokgopo botla tswella, hobane e ka se etse hore e tsebahale ho fihlela nakong eo.
