¹Ko e moʻoni ʻoku taʻengali mo au ke polepole. Ka te u lea ki he ngaahi meʻa hā mai mo e ngaahi fakahā ʻoe ʻEiki.

²‌ʻI he taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fā nai kuo hili, ne u ʻilo ha tangata naʻe ʻia Kalaisi, (pe naʻe ʻi he sino ia, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo; pe naʻe ʻikai ʻi he sino, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo; ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua;) naʻe ʻohake ia ki hono tolu ʻoe langi.

³Pea ne u ʻilo ʻae tangata ko ia, (pe naʻe ʻi he sino, pe naʻe ʻikai ʻi he sino, ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo: ʻoku ʻilo ʻe he ʻOtua;)

⁴Koeʻuhi naʻe ʻohake ia ki Palataisi ʻo ne fanongo ki he ngaahi lea taʻefaʻaleaʻaki, ʻaia ʻoku ʻikai ngofua ke lea ʻaki ʻe ha tangata.

⁵Ko e tokotaha ko ia teu polepole ai: ka ʻe ʻikai teu polepole ʻiate au, ka ʻi heʻeku ngaahi vaivai.

⁶He ka ne u holi ke polepole, ʻe ʻikai ai te u vale; he te u lea moʻoni pe: ka ʻoku ou tukuā, telia naʻa ai ha taha ʻe mahalo lelei lahi hake ʻiate au ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ne mamata ʻiate au, pe ʻi he meʻa ʻoku ne fanongo ʻiate au.

⁷Pea telia naʻaku fielahi fau au ʻi hono lahi ʻoe ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakahā, naʻe tuku kiate au ʻae tolounua ʻi he kakano, ko e meʻa fekau ʻa Sētane, ke tukiʻi au, telia naʻaku fielahi fau.

⁸Pea ʻi he meʻa ni, naʻe liunga tolu ʻeku kole lahi ki he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke mahuʻi ia ʻiate au.

⁹Pea pehē mai ʻe ia kiate au, “Ko ʻeku tokoni ʻe lahi maʻau: he kuo fakakakato ʻeku mālohi ʻi hoʻo vaivai.” Ko ia teu fiefia lahi mo polepole ai muʻa ʻi heʻeku ngaahi vaivai, koeʻuhi ke nofoʻia au ʻe he mālohi ʻo Kalaisi.

¹⁰Ko ia ʻoku ou fiemālie ai ʻi he ngaahi vaivai, ʻi he ngaahi manuki, mo e ngaahi masiva, mo e ngaahi fakatanga, mo e ngaahi mamahi, koeʻuhi ko Kalaisi: he kau ka vaivai ʻoku ou toki mālohi.

¹¹Ko eni, kuo u vale ʻi he polepole; ka kuo mou fakalanga ia ʻiate au: he naʻe totonu hoʻomou fakaongolelei au: he ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe taha ʻoku ou tomui ai ʻi he fungani “ʻaposetolo lahi,” ka ʻoku ʻikai ko ha meʻa au.

¹²Ko e moʻoni ko e ngaahi fakaʻilonga ʻoe ʻaposetolo naʻe fai ʻiate kimoutolu, ʻi he faʻa kātaki kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi fakaʻilonga, mo e ngaahi mana, mo e ngaahi ngāue mālohi.

¹³He ko e hā ha meʻa ne mou siʻi hifo ai ʻi he ngaahi siasi kehe, ka koeʻuhi ʻapē ko ʻeku taʻefakamāfasiaʻi ʻakimoutolu? fakamolemolea ʻeku kovi ni.

¹⁴Vakai, ko hono liunga tolu eni ʻo ʻeku teu ke ʻalu atu kiate kimoutolu; pea ʻe ʻikai te u fakamāfasiaʻi ʻakimoutolu: he ʻoku ʻikai teu kumi hoʻomou meʻa, ka ko kimoutolu: he ʻoku ʻikai ngali ke tokonaki ʻe he fānau maʻae mātuʻa, ka ko e mātuʻa maʻae fānau.

¹⁵Pea teu loto fiefia lahi ke ngāue, pea ʻatu mo ʻeku moʻui koeʻuhi ko homou laumālie; neongo ʻae fakasiʻisiʻi ʻae ʻofa kiate au, ʻi he tupulekina ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻeku ʻofa kiate kimoutolu.

¹⁶Pea ko ia naʻe ʻikai te u fakamāfasia ʻakimoutolu: ka ʻi he anga fakapotopoto, ne u maʻu ʻakimoutolu ʻi he fakaoloolo.

¹⁷He naʻaku maʻumeʻa meiate kimoutolu ʻi ha taha ʻokinautolu naʻaku fekau atu kiate kimoutolu?

¹⁸Naʻaku kole kia Taitusi, pe au fekau mo ia ha kāinga kiate kimoutolu. Naʻe maʻumeʻa ʻa Taitusi meiate kimoutolu? ʻIkai naʻa ma ʻaʻeva ʻi he laumālie pe taha pea ma topuvaʻe taha pe?

¹⁹‌ʻOku mou mahalo ʻoku mau toe fakaongolelei ʻakimautolu kiate kimoutolu? ʻOku mau lea ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ʻOtua ʻia Kalaisi: ka ʻoku mau fai ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻe kāinga ʻofeina, ke langa hake ai ʻakimoutolu.

²⁰He ʻoku ou manavahē, telia ʻi heʻeku hoko atu, ʻe ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻakimoutolu ʻo taau mo hoku loto, pea te mou ʻiloʻi au ʻo taʻetaau mo homou loto: telia naʻa ʻoku ai ʻae fakakikihi, ʻae femehekaʻaki, ʻae feʻiteʻitani, fekeʻikeʻi, ʻae felauʻiʻaki, ʻae fefanafanahi, ʻae fakamofutofuta, ʻae maveuveu:

²¹Pea telia naʻa ʻi heʻeku toe hoko atu ʻe fakavaivaiʻi au ʻe hoku ʻOtua ʻiate kimoutolu, pea te u tangilāulau ʻi he tokolahi kuo nau fai angahala pea ʻoku teʻeki ai kenau fakatomala ʻi he ngāue ʻuli mo e feʻauaki mo e angafakalielia ʻaia kuo nau fai.
