Fakamaau 8:1 “Pea lea ange ʻe he kau tangata Ifalemí. “Ko e hā kuo ke ngaohi peheʻi ai kimautolu ʻo ʻikai te ke ui kimautolu ʻi hoʻo ʻalu ke tau mo Mitiani? Pea naʻa nau lea malohi kiate ia” Hono ʻikai ke vave ange ʻa e hiliatu ʻa e kau Mitianí, naʻe fou mai ʻi he mamahi ʻa e niʻihi, ko ʻIsilelí naʻa nau mateuteu ke nau kē ʻiate kinautolu pe. Ko e kau taʻefiemalie mo ʻenau mamahi kia Kitioné tuʻunga ʻi heʻenau taʻekau mai ko hono tauʻi ʻo e kau Mitianí. Ko e kau Ifalemi eni naʻa nau lea kia Kitione, ʻi heʻenau haʻu ʻo ʻomai kia Kitione ʻa e ʻulu ʻo e ongo ʻeikitau Mitiani, ʻa ʻOlepi mo Siipi. Naʻe ʻikai ke nau houngaʻia ʻi heʻene lavameʻa mo fai ha fakamālō kia Kitione ʻi heʻene ngāué, ka nau kamata ʻaki ʻa e kumi haʻanau lelei ʻanautolou pe. He ko kinautolu ʻoku nau feinga pē fai ha faʻahinga meʻa ʻo ʻikai ko e fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtuá, ko kinautolu ia kuo nau mateuteu ki he fakatupu kē ʻi he laumalie fakatupu meʻa maʻa kinautolu pe, pea ko e tokolahi taha ia, ka ʻikai ke fai ha nofo tonu ʻi he Laumalie Maʻoniʻoni ʻo Kalaisi, ʻe fai pe ʻa e lotú, ko e kalisitiane ko e kalisitiane kakato (1 Kol 3:2,3) mo e fai fakaetangata pe.

Ko e tuʻu ʻa Kitione ʻi heni ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lahi ia ki he meʻa ko e fakaʻikaiʻi kita, kuo ne fakahaaʻi mai kiate kitautolu. Ko e kita kuo maté ko e laka leleitaha ia ʻaki ʻa e angaivaivai. Ko e ngāue totonu ʻoku angavaivai maʻu pe (sio Koheleti 4:4). Ko ia ai naʻe ʻikai ke nau saiʻia kinautolu ke pehē, ko kinautolu ʻoku nau fai meʻa ke nau ʻasi, heʻikai ke nau polepole ʻiate kinautolu. ʻOku nau lotomaʻulalo moʻoni, ʻoku nau fekumi pe ke tuku kinautolu ki lalo mei honau poto kuo nau ʻi ai. Ko e angavaivaí ko e founga pautaha ia, ke ne fakangata ʻa e kē, ka ko e fielahi (ʻafungi) ko hono fuá ko e kē (Palo 13:10).

He ko e ngāue lelei ʻa e angavaivaí ko ʻetau taki taha lau ʻoku lelei hake ʻa hotau kāingá ʻiate kitautolu (Fili 2:3) pea ko e langilangi ke ʻanautolu ia, he ko kitautolu ke tau hangē pe ko Kalaisi, he naʻá ne fakamasivesivaʻi ʻe ia ia heʻene toʻo ʻa e anga ʻo tamaioʻeiki mo ʻene hoko ʻi he tatau ʻo e tangatá (Fili 2:7).Ko e anga totonu ia mo e moʻui maʻae kau Kalisitiane fakalaumalié ʻo ʻikai ko e kalisitiane fakakakano. He ko e moʻui foʻoú, ko e mole ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻo onoʻahó, kuo tau hoko ʻo foʻou (2 Kol 5:17).
