(Sione 15:18-20) ʻOku hanga ʻe hotau ngaahi tuʻunga faka-Kalisitiané ʻo fakamavaheʻi kitautolu, ko ia ʻe hoko nai ʻa e māmaní ʻo ‘lauʻikovi kitautolu.’ (1 Pita 4:4) ʻOku malava ke hoko ʻeni ʻi he ʻapiakó, ʻi hotau feituʻu ngāueʻangá, pe naʻa mo e ʻi he lotoʻi fāmilí. (Luke 9:23) Ka neongo ia, ʻoku tau loto-lelei ke kātekina ʻa e paetaku ʻa e māmaní koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ke tau toe moʻui maʻatautolu. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “Monūʻiaā ka ko kimoutolu, ʻo ka manukia kimoutolu, mo fakatangaʻi, mo lohiʻekina ʻi he kovi kehekehe, koeʻuhi ko au.

Naʻe ʻikai ke hanga ʻe he ʻofa ʻa Sīsū ki heʻene Tamai fakahēvaní mo ʻene kau ākongá ʻo fakaʻatā ha faingamālie ki he siokitá. “Nae ikai fakafiemalie a Kalaisi eia,” ko e tohi ia ʻa Paulá. (Loma 15:3, PM) Naʻa mo e taimi naʻá ne ongoʻi helaʻia ai pe fiekaiá, naʻe fakamuʻomuʻa ʻe Sīsū ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻi haʻaná.
