Sione 8:53-58

⁵³‌ʻOku ke lahi koe ki heʻemau tamai ko ʻEpalahame, ʻaia kuo mate? Pea, mate mo e kau palōfita: ʻoku ke pehē ko hai koe?”

⁵⁴Pea talaange ʻe Sisu, “Kapau te u fakaongolelei au, ko e meʻa noa pē ʻeku fakaongo: ko ʻeku Tamai ko ia ia ʻoku ne fakaongoleleiʻi au; ʻaia ʻoku mou pehē ai, ko homou ʻOtua ia:

⁵⁵Ka kuo ʻikai te mou ʻilo ia, ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia: pea kapau te u pehē, ʻOku ʻikai te u ʻiloa ia, te u loi au ʻo hangē ko kimoutolu: ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ia, pe au tuitala ki heʻene folofola.

⁵⁶Naʻe mātuʻaki fiefia ʻa hoʻomou tamai ko ʻEpalahame ke mamata ki hoku ʻaho: pea naʻe mamata ia, pea fiefia.

⁵⁷Pea lea ʻae kakai Siu kiate ia, “ʻOku teʻeki ai nimangofulu taʻu ho motuʻa, pea kuo ke mamata kia ʻEpalahame?”

⁵⁸Pea talaange ʻe Sisu kiate kinautolu, “Ko e moʻoni, ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ou tala kiate kimoutolu, Ki muʻa ʻia ʻEpalahame, ‘ʻOku ou ʻi ai au.’”
