Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito lava ke ne ʻuhingá ʻoku totonu ke tau tuku ke tau ʻita tauʻatāina. ʻOku hā mahino, ʻoku tau tuku ia ki he houhau ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI he tuʻunga ko e kau Kalisitiané, ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻikai ʻatautolu ke faisāuni.

Kapau ʻoku tau feinga ke sāuni, te tau ʻafungi ai, ʻo fai ʻe kitautolu ʻa e meʻa kuo tuku ʻe Sihova ko e meʻa totonu ia ʻaʻana. ʻIkai ko ia pē, te tau fakahaaʻi ai ha taʻetui ki he talaʻofa ʻa Sihová: “Ko au te u ʻatu hono tuha.”
