(Pal. 2:6) ʻI he ʻikai hangē ko e ngaahi filōsofia fakaetangatá, ko e poto ʻoku haʻu mei he ʻOtuá ʻoku ʻikai ke taʻemahinoʻi ia. ʻI hono kehé, ʻoku fakamamafaʻi ai ʻa e fakafuofua lelei pea ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi he ʻilo mo e mahino totonu. (Lau ʻa e Semisi 3:17.) Naʻe ofo ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ʻi he poto ʻo Sihová.
