³ ‘Oku ou fakafeta‘i ki he ‘Otua, ‘a ia ‘oku ou tauhi ki ai ‘aki ‘a e lotu na‘a ku ma‘u mei he‘eku mātu‘a, ‘o u fai‘aki ‘a e konisēnisi ‘ata‘atā–ko ‘eku fakamo‘oni ia ki he ta‘emotu ‘eku manatu‘i koe ‘i he‘eku ngaahi hū ‘i he pō mo e ‘aho.

⁴ He‘eku holi ke ta fe‘iloaki, ko ‘eku manatu ki ho lo‘imata, ka u fonu fiefia–

⁵ ‘io, ‘oku ou fakafeta‘i ‘i he‘eku manatu ki he tui ta‘eloi ‘oku ‘iate koe; ‘a e tui na‘e fua nofo ‘i ho‘o kui ko Loisi, pea mo ho‘o fa‘ē ko ‘Iunisi; pea ‘oku ou falala ‘oku ‘iate koe foki.

⁶ Ko ia, ‘oku ou fakamanatu ai kiate koe, ke ke hunuaki ho‘o mafai mei he ‘Otua, ‘a ia ‘oku ‘iate koe ‘i he hilifaki ‘o hoku nima.

⁷ He ko e Laumālie na‘e foaki ‘e he ‘Otua kiate kitaua, na‘e ‘ikai ko e Laumālie anga fo‘i, ka ko e anga mālohi, mo ‘ofa, mo valoki.

⁸ Ko ia, ‘oua te ke maa‘i ‘a e fakahā ‘o hotau ‘Eiki, pe te ke maa‘i au ko ‘ene pōpula: kaekehe, ke ke kau mo au ‘i he kai mamahi koe‘uhi ko e Kōsipeli ‘i he funga ‘o e māfimafi ‘o e ‘Otua.

⁹ ‘A ia na‘a ne fakamo‘ui kitautolu, mo ne ui ki ha lakanga tapu; ‘o ‘ikai koe‘uhi ko ha ngāue ‘atautolu, ka koe‘uhi ko hono finangalo ‘o‘ona, pea koe‘uhi ko e kelesi na‘e foaki mai ‘ia Kalaisi Sīsū mei he ngaahi kuonga ‘o ‘Itāniti:

¹⁰ ka na‘e fakae‘a ‘i onopooni ‘i he fakahā mai ‘o hotau fakamo‘ui ko Sīsū Kalaisi; ‘a ia na‘a ne fakaka‘anga ‘a Mate, ka ne huluhulu ‘a e mo‘ui mo e ta‘e‘auha ‘aki ‘a e Kōsipeli.

¹¹ ‘A ia ko e me‘a na‘e fokotu‘u au ki ai, ko e malanga mo e ‘aposetolo mo e faiako.

¹² Ko hono ‘uhinga foki ia ‘oku ou mo‘ua ai ‘i he ngaahi mamahi ni; ka ‘oku ‘ikai te u mā ai: he ‘oku ou ‘ilo pē ‘a ia kuo u tui ki ai, pea ‘oku ou ‘ilo pau ‘oku ne mafai ke tauhi ‘eku me‘a kuo u tuku kiate ia, ‘o a‘u ki he ‘aho ko ē.

¹³ Ko e anga ē ‘o e ngaahi lea mo‘ui na‘a ke fanongo ai meiate au, ‘i he tui mo e ‘ofa ‘oku ‘ia Kalaisi Sīsū.

¹⁴ Ko e me‘a lelei ko ia kuo tuku kiate koe, ‘ē, ke ke tauhi ‘i he Laumālie Mā‘oni‘oni, ‘a ia ‘oku nofo ‘iate kitautolu.

¹⁵ ‘Oku ke ‘ilo foki kuo hiki kotoa pē meiate au ‘a kinautolu ‘i ‘Ēsia; kae‘uma‘ā ‘a Faikelo mo Heamokena.

¹⁷ Ka ‘i he‘ene ‘i Loma, na‘a ne fai velenga hoku kumi ‘o ne ma‘u au.

¹⁸ ‘Ofa ange ē ‘Eiki ke ne ma‘u meesi mei He‘ene ‘Afio ‘i he ‘aho ko ē, pea ko ‘ene ngaahi fu‘u tokoni na‘a ne fai ‘i ‘Efesō ‘oku ke lāu‘ilo ki ai ‘e koe.
