(Mātiu 10:32-39) Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “He ʻilonga ʻa ia ʻe tautapa ki he huafa ʻo e ʻEiki [Sihova] ʻe fakamoʻui. Ka te nau lava fefe ke tautapa ki ha toko taha ʻoku teʻeki ke nau tui ki ai? pea te nau lava fefe ke tui ki ha toko taha kuo teʻeki ke nau fanongo ki ai? pea fefe haʻanau fanongo ʻoka ʻikai ha taha ke malanga?” (Loma 10:13, 14) Ko ʻetau ngāue fakafaifekau ki he kakaí ʻaki ʻa e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá pea mo ʻene pōpoaki ʻo e fakamoʻuí kuo aʻu ia ki he kakai ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻoku laka hake ʻi he 230.

(Fakafehoanaki mo 1 Kolinitō 7:14.) Ko e tokolahi ʻoku nau taʻetokaʻi fakakaukauʻi pē ʻi he taimí ni, manumanukiʻi, pe kau fakahangatonu ʻi hono fakatangaʻi ʻa e kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá.
