“ ʻOku matuʻaki mahino ʻaupito e founga ke maʻu ai ʻa e tuʻunga tangataʻifonua ʻi he Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí; ʻio, ʻoku fuʻu mahino, pea ʻoku fakaʻohovale ai e tokolahi pehē ha kakai ʻoku fotu ngali poto mo ʻatamaiʻia … [ʻoku nau kei pehē] te nau lava ʻo hū ki ai ʻi ha ngaahi toe founga lahi kehe.

“Fakatokangaʻi ʻa e mahino lelei ʻo ʻene folofolá: ‘Kapau ʻe ʻikai fanauʻi foʻou ha tangata, ʻe ʻikai ʻaupito mamata ia ki he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá.’ [Sione 3:3; ko e tānaki atu ʻa e mataʻi tohi fakahihifí.] ʻI hono fakamatalaʻi ʻo ʻene folofola kia Nikotīmasí, naʻe hoko atu ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo ne pehē:

Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa Tēvita O. Makeí

Ko e tui kia Sīsū Kalaisí ko e tefitoʻi moʻoni mahuʻinga taha ia ʻo e Siasí.

ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ke tauhi ʻa e tuí? ʻOku ʻuluaki ʻuhinga ia ke tau tali ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻo ʻikai ko ha faiako maʻongoʻonga pē, pe ko ha taki lelei, ka ko e Fakamoʻui, mo e Huhuʻi ʻo māmani… Ko ia te ne tauhi ʻa e tuí te ne tali ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo ia ʻo e ʻOtuá, ko e Huhuʻi ʻo e māmaní. ʻOku ou fakatauange ʻe tauhi ʻe he kakai kotoa pē ʻa e tui ko iá. Te u pehē ʻoku mahuʻinga ia ki he fiefia ʻa e tangatá, mahuʻinga ki he nonga ʻo ʻene fakakaukaú. Te u pehē ko e tefitoʻi moʻoni pule ia ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí.⁴

Kuo pau pē ko e faʻahinga tui ʻeni naʻá ne tokoniʻi ʻa e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe toko hongofulu mā tahá pea mo e kau ākonga ʻe meimei toko fitungofulu naʻe feʻiloaki mo Kalaisi ʻi he hili ʻo e toetuʻú.

Naʻa nau ʻilo koeʻuhí he naʻe siotonu honau matá, fanongo mo honau telingá, pea ala mo honau nimá ki he sino kuo toe tuʻu ʻo e Huhuʻí.

Ko e faʻahinga tui taʻe ueʻia ʻeni naʻá ne ʻomi ʻa e meʻa-hā-mai nāunauʻia naʻe fai ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá:

“Pea ko ʻeni, hili ʻa e ngaahi fakamoʻoni lahi kuo fai ʻo kau kiate iá, ko e fakamoʻoni fakamuimui taha ʻeni ʻokú ma fai ʻo kau kiate iá: ʻOkú ne moʻui!
