Ho bala

3:1	O senseless Galatians, who has so fascinated you that you would not obey the truth, even though Jesus Christ has been presented before your eyes, crucified among you?
3:2	I wish to know only this from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3:3	Are you so foolish that, though you began with the Spirit, you would now end with the flesh?
3:4	Have you been suffering so much without a reason? Haeba ho joalo, then it is in vain.
3:5	Ka hona, does he who distributes the Spirit to you, and who works miracles among you, act by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?

11:5	Mme a re ho bona: “Which of you will have a friend and will go to him in the middle of the night, and will say to him: 'Motsoalle, lend me three loaves,
11:6	because a friend of mine has arrived from a journey to me, and I do not have anything to set before him.’
11:7	And from within, he would answer by saying: ‘Do not disturb me. The door is closed now, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you.’
11:8	Yet if he will persevere in knocking, I tell you that, even though he would not get up and give it to him because he is a friend, yet due to his continued insistence, he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
11:9	'Me kahoo ke re ho uena: Ask, and it shall be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened to you.
11:10	For everyone who asks, receives. And whoever seeks, finds. And whoever knocks, it shall be opened to him.
11:11	Kahoo joale, who among you, if he asks his father for bread, he would give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he would give him a serpent, instead of a fish?
11:12	Or if he will ask for an egg, he would offer to him a scorpion?
11:13	Ka hona, if you, being evil, know how to give good things to your sons, how much more will your Father give, from heaven, a spirit of goodness to those who ask him?”
