"17Pea ‘i he‘ene hū mai ki he hala, na‘e lele mai ha toko taha, ‘o ne tō hifo ‘o puke ‘a e tui ‘o Sīsū, ‘o ne fehu‘i ki ai, ‘a e Tangata‘eiki lelei, ko e hā te u fai, kae tō mo‘oku ‘a e mo‘ui ta‘engata? 18Pea pehē ‘e Sīsū kiate ia, Ko e hā ‘oku ke ui ai au ko e lelei? ‘Oku ‘ikai ha taha ‘oku lelei, ngata pē ‘i he ‘Otua toko taha. 19‘Oku ke ‘ilo pē ‘a e ngaahi fekau, ‘Oua na‘a ke fe‘auaki, ‘Oua na‘a ke fakapō, ‘Oua na‘a ke kaiha‘a, ‘Oua na‘a ke tukuaki, ‘Oua na‘a ke fai kākā, Faka‘apa‘apa ki ho‘o tamai mo ho‘o fa‘ē. 20Pea tali ia ‘o ne pehē ki ai, Tangata‘eiki, ko e ngaahi lao ko ia kuo u tauhi ki ai kotoa pē talu mei he‘eku tamasi‘i. 21Pea ‘i he siofia ia ‘e Sīsū na‘a ne ‘ofa ki ai, ‘o ne pehē kiate ia, Ko e me‘a pē taha ‘oku ke tōmui ai: mole pē ‘o fakatau atu ‘a e me‘a kotoa pē ‘oku ke ma‘u, pea foaki hono pa‘anga ki he masiva, pea ‘e ai ha koloa ‘e fa‘oaki ma‘au ‘i he langi: pea ke ha‘u ‘o kau ‘i hoku lahi."

KO E SAPATE ENI KE TAU TOKANGAʻI AI ʻA E ʻEIKI KO SĪSŪ KALAISÍ ‘I HEʻETAU FĀNAU TALAVOU MO FINEMUÍ. Ko e talavou koloaʻia ko eni ʻi he kosipelí naʻa ne fiemaʻu ke fakapapauʻi ʻoku ne maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengatá, pea naʻa ne fehuʻi pe ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ne faí, pea ne talaange ki he ʻEikí, kuo ʻikai ke ne maumauʻi ha taha ʻo e ngaahi laó, ʻa ē naʻe lave ki ai ʻa e ʻEikí (v 19). Pea mahalo pe naʻa ne tauhi ʻa e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni tanaki mai ʻa e kau Falesí ki he laó. Pea naʻe ʻofa ʻa Sīsū ki he talavou ʻafungí ni, he kuo ne ʻomai kituʻa ʻa hono tuʻunga moʻoní pea ʻoange ʻe sīsū ki ai hono moʻoní, “Mole pe ʻo fakatau atu ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻoku ke maʻú pea foaki hono paʻangá ki he masivá” Ko e foʻi pole eni ʻoku ne hanga ʻo taʻofi tuʻu ʻa e talavoú ni, mei he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá, ko ʻene ʻofa he paʻangá. ʻOku fakafofongaʻi ʻe he paʻangá ʻa e ʻafungi kuo ne aʻusiá pea mo ʻene feinga pe ʻaʻana. ʻOku ne heliakiʻi pe ʻe hono ʻulungaangá ʻo ngaohi ia ke ne taʻemalava ʻo tauhi ʻa e ʻuluaki fekau ʻe 10. “ʻOua naʻa ai haʻo ʻotua kehe ʻo ua ʻaki au” (Eki 20:3). Naʻe ʻikai ke ne lava ʻo fetaulaki mo e taha ʻo e fiemaʻu naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsuú ke liliu hono lotó kotoa mo ʻene moʻuí ki he ʻOtuá. Ko e talavoú ni ko ʻene hau kia Sīsuú ke ne ofoofo ʻi he meʻa kuo ne lava ʻo faí pea ne tuku taʻetokangaʻi pe ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻikai te ne lava ʻo faí. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻokú ne taʻofi mei he liliu hoʻo moʻuí kia Kalaisí? Pea folofola ʻaki ʻe Sīsū ki heʻene kau akó “Hono ʻikai faingataʻa ki he kakai maʻu paʻangá ke hū ki he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá” (v.23). Ko e moʻoni eni, koeʻuhi ko e koloaʻiá ko e lahi taha ʻenau ngaahi tefito fiemaʻu ʻoku nau fetaulaki pea hoko pe ia ko honau falalaʻanga honau kitá. Pea ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau maha ai ʻoku nau fakatau ʻa e ngaahi meʻa foʻou, ke fakanenefu ʻaki ʻa e mamahi, ʻa ia naʻe totonu ia ke ʻave ki he ʻOtuá. Ko e tokotaha ko ē ʻoku ne maʻu ʻa e meʻa kotoa ʻi māmani, ʻoku ne lava ʻo holomui mei he meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga taha ʻi māmani – ko e moʻui taʻengata. Feohiʻanga Moʻui Foʻou, ʻa e talavou mo e finemui, piki ki he moʻui taʻengatá ʻa ē ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisuú maʻa kitautolu kotoa pē, ʻo tau fiefia taʻengata ai.
