4 1To, me za mu ce Ibrahim, kakanmu na jiki, ya samu? 2Gama in da Ibrahim ya sami adalci ta wurin ayyuka, to, yana da abin taƙama—amma ba a gaban Ubanmu ba. 3Gama me Nassi ya ce? Ibrahim ya gaskata Ubanmu, aka kuwa lissafta masa wannan a matsayin adalci. a a v3 “Lissafta” kalmar lissafin kuɗi ce, amma Ubanmu ba ma'aikacin lissafi marar tausayi ba ne. Ibrahim ya dogara gare shi kawai, Ubanmu kuwa ya dubi hannuwansa babu kome, ya shelanta shi adali. 4Ga wanda yake aiki, ba a lissafta masa lada a matsayin kyauta ba, sai dai a matsayin bashin da ake binsa. 5Amma ga wanda ba ya aiki, sai dai ya dogara ga wanda yake ba wa mugaye adalci, ana lissafta bangaskiyarsa a matsayin adalci. 6Kamar yadda Dawuda ma yake magana a kan albarkar mutumin da Ubanmu yake lissafta masa adalci, ba tare da ayyuka ba: 7“Masu albarka ne waɗanda aka gafarta musu laifofinsu na karya doka, waɗanda kuma aka rufe zunubansu; 8mai albarka ne wanda Ubanmu ba zai taɓa lissafta masa zunubinsa ba.”
9Wannan albarka ta masu kaciya ce kaɗai, ko kuwa ta marasa kaciya ma ce? Mun ce an lissafta bangaskiyar Ibrahim a matsayin adalci. 10To, yaya aka lissafta masa? Sa'ad da yake da kaciya, ko kuwa marar kaciya? Ba sa'ad da yake da kaciya ba, sai dai sa'ad da yake marar kaciya. 11Ya karɓi kaciya a matsayin alama, hatimin adalcin da ya samu ta wurin bangaskiya tun yana marar kaciya, domin yă zama uba ga dukan masu ba da gaskiya ko da yake marasa kaciya ne, don a lissafta musu adalci su ma, 12yă kuma zama uba ga masu kaciya waɗanda ba masu kaciya kaɗai ba ne, amma kuma suna bin sawun bangaskiyar da ubanmu Ibrahim yake da ita tun yana marar kaciya.
13Gama alkawarin da aka yi wa Ibrahim da zuriyarsa cewa zai gāji duniya bai zo ta wurin shari'a ba, sai dai ta wurin adalcin bangaskiya. 14Gama in da waɗanda suke rayuwa bisa ga shari'a su ne magada, to, bangaskiya ta zama banza, alkawari kuma ya zama wofi. 15Shari'a tana kawo fushi; inda babu shari'a kuwa, babu keta shari'a.
16Saboda haka alkawari yana zuwa ta wurin bangaskiya, domin yă kasance bisa ga alheri, don a tabbatar da alkawarin ga dukan zuriya—ba ga waɗanda suke ƙarƙashin shari'a kaɗai ba, har ma ga waɗanda suke da bangaskiyar Ibrahim, uban dukanmu,
