4 ʻOku ou mātuʻaki tuʻutuʻuni atu kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá mo Kalaisi Sīsū, ʻa ia te ne fakamāuʻi+ ʻa e kau moʻuí mo e kau maté,+ fakafou ʻi heʻene hā maí+ pea mo hono Puleʻangá:+ 2 Malangaʻi ʻa e folofolá;+ fai fakavavevave ia ʻi he taimi faingamālie mo e taimi faingataʻa; valoki,+ fakatokanga mālohi, enginaki, ʻaki ʻa e anga-kātaki fakaʻaufuli mo e pōtoʻi fakafaiako.+ 3 He ʻe ʻi ai ha vahaʻa taimi ʻa ia heʻikai te nau kātakiʻi ai ʻa e akonaki leleí,*+ kae fakatatau ki heʻenau ngaahi holi ʻanautolú, te nau kumi ha kau faiako ke nau fanongo ai ki he meʻa ʻoku ongo lelei ki honau telingá.+ 4 Te nau tafoki mei he fanongo ki he moʻoní ʻo tuku ʻenau tokangá ki he ngaahi talanoa loi. 5 Ka ko koe, tauhi maʻu hoʻo fakakaukau leleí ʻi he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, kātakiʻi ʻa e faingataʻá,+ fai ʻa e ngāue ʻa ha ʻevangeliō,* fakahoko kakato ʻa hoʻo ngāue fakafaifekaú.+
6 He kuo lilingi atu au hangē ha feilaulau inú,+ pea ko e taimi ki hoku fakatauʻatāiná+ ʻoku ofí ni mai. 7 Kuó u faitau tōtōivi,+ kuó u ʻosiki ʻa e lová,+ kuó u tuʻu maʻu ʻi he tuí. 8 Mei he taimi ko ʻení ʻo faai atu, kuo tuku tauhi mai maʻaku ʻa e kalauni ʻo e māʻoniʻoní,+ ʻa ia ʻe foaki mai kiate au ʻe he ʻEikí, ko e fakamaau māʻoniʻoní,+ ko ha pale ʻi he ʻaho ko iá,+ ʻo ʻikai kiate au pē, kae toe pehē foki ki he kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fakatuʻamelie ki heʻene hā maí.
9 Fai ho tūkuingatá ke ke haʻu vave kiate au. 10 He ko Tīmasi+ kuó ne liʻaki au koeʻuhí naʻá ne ʻofa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e fokotuʻutuʻu lolotongá,* pea kuó ne ʻalu ki Tesalonaika, ko Kilisini ki Kalētia, ko Taitusi ki Talamati. 11 Ko Luke pē ʻoku ʻiate aú. ʻOmi ʻa Maʻake ʻi hoʻo haʻú, he ʻokú ne ʻaonga kiate au ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú. 12 Ka kuó u fekauʻi atu ʻa Tikiko+ ki ʻEfesō. 13 ʻI hoʻo haʻú, ʻomai ʻa e pulupulu naʻá ku tuku ʻi Taloasi ʻia Kāpusí, pea mo e ngaahi takainga tohí, tautefito ki he ngaahi takainga tohi kiliʻimanú.

16 ʻI heʻeku ʻuluaki taukapó naʻe ʻikai kau ha taha ki heʻeku tafaʻakí, ka naʻa nau liʻaki kotoa au—fakatauange ke ʻoua naʻa tukuakiʻi ia kiate kinautolu. 17 Ka naʻe tuʻu ʻa e ʻEikí ʻo ofi kiate au ʻo ne fakahūhū mai kiate au ʻa e mālohi, ke lava ai fakafou ʻiate au ʻo fakahoko kakato ʻa e malangá pea lava ke fanongo ki ai ʻa e ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē;+ pea naʻá ne fakahaofi au mei he ngutu ʻo e laioné.+ 18 ʻE fakahaofi au ʻe he ʻEikí mei he ngāue fulikivanu kotoa pē pea te ne fakahaofi au ʻo ʻohake ki hono Puleʻanga fakahēvaní.+ Ke ʻiate ia ʻa e lāngilangí ʻo taʻengata pea taʻengata. ʻĒmeni.

20 Ko ʻElasito+ naʻe nofo ia ʻi Kolinitō, ka naʻá ku tuku pē ʻa Talofima+ ʻi Mīleto he naʻá ne puke. 21 Fai ho tūkuingatá ke ke aʻu mai ki muʻa ʻi he taimi momokó.
ʻOku ʻoatu ʻe ʻIupolo hono ʻofa, pea ʻoku pehē pē mo Piutena mo Laino mo Kalōtia pea mo e fanga tokouá kotoa.
22 Ke ʻi he laumālie ʻoku mou fakahāhaá ʻa e ʻEikí. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻene ʻofa maʻataʻataá.
