¹¹He kapau ko e fai kovi au, pe kuo u fai ha meʻa ʻoku totonu ke u mate ai, ʻoku ʻikai teu fie hao mei he mate: pea kapau ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻoku tukuakiʻi ai au ʻekinautolu ni, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha tangata ʻe faʻa tuku au kiate kinautolu. Te u fakamaau pe au ʻia Sisa.”

¹²Pea toki alea ʻa Fesito mo e kau fakamaau pea ne pehē, Kuo ke pehē te ke fakamaau pe ʻia Sisa? Pea te ke ʻalu koe kia Sisa.

¹³Pea kuo hili ʻae ʻaho niʻihi, pea haʻu ʻae tuʻi ko ʻAkilipa mo Pelenaisi ki Sesalia ke nau feʻiloaki mo Fesito.

¹⁴Pea kuo na nofo ai ʻo ʻaho lahi, pea fakahā ʻe Fesito ʻae meʻa ʻa Paula ki he tuʻi, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOku ai ʻae tangata ʻe taha naʻe tuku pōpula ʻe Filike:

¹⁵Pea naʻe fakahā mai ia ʻi heʻeku kei ʻi Selūsalema, ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki lahi mo e mātuʻa ʻoe kakai Siu, ʻonau kole ke tukuange ia ke tāmateʻi.

¹⁶Ka ne u pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOku ʻikai ko e anga ʻo Loma ke tomuʻa tukuange ha tangata ke mate, kaeʻoua ke fakamaau fakataha ʻaia ʻoku tukuakiʻi mo kinautolu ʻoku nau tukuakiʻi ia, pea ʻoua ke ne fakamatala ʻe ia ʻae kovi kuo tukuakiʻi ai ia.

¹⁷Pea ko ia, ʻi heʻenau haʻu ki heni, ʻo pongipongi ai, naʻaku nofo leva ʻi he nofoʻa fakamaau pea u fekau ke ʻomi ʻae tangata.

¹⁸Pea ʻi he tutuʻu hake ʻae kau tukuaki, naʻe ʻikai te nau talatalaakiʻi ia ʻi ha meʻa naʻaku ʻamanaki ki ai:

¹⁹Ka nau talatalaakiʻi ia ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻi heʻenau lotu ʻanautolu, pea ki he tokotaha kuo mate ko Sisu, ka naʻe fakapapau ʻe Paula kuo moʻui ia.
