I Kolinito 13:3 – 10

¹ Ka ne ko ʻeku lea ʻaki ʻae ʻelelo ʻoe kau tangata mo e kau ʻāngelo, ka ʻoku ʻikai te u maʻu ʻae ʻofa, kuo u tatau mo e ukamea pakihi mo e simipale tatangi. 

² Pea kapau teu faʻa kikite, peau ʻilo ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakalilolilo kotoa pē, mo e ʻilo kotoa pē; pea kapau te u maʻu ʻae tui kotoa pē, teu faʻa hiki ai ʻae ngaahi moʻunga, pea ʻikai te u maʻu mo e ʻofa, ko e meʻa noa pē au. 

³ Pea kapau te u ʻatu ʻeku ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ke fafanga ʻaki ʻae masiva, pea kapau te u foaki hoku sino ke tutu, pea ʻikai te u maʻu mo e ʻofa, ʻoku ʻikai hano ʻaonga kiate au. 

⁴ ‌ʻOku kātaki fuoloa ʻae ʻofa, pea ʻoku angalelei ia; ʻoku ʻikai meheka ʻae ʻofa; ʻoku ʻikai fielahi ʻae ʻofa, pe fakafuofuolahi ia, 

⁵ ‌ʻOku ʻikai ke fai taʻengali ha meʻa, ʻoku ʻikai ke kumi ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana, ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻitangofua, ʻoku ʻikai ke mahalo kovi; 

⁶ ‌ʻOku ʻikai ke fiefia ʻi he angahala, ka ʻoku fiefia ia ʻi he moʻoni; 

⁷ ‌ʻOku ne ʻufiʻufi ʻae meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku tui ia ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻamanaki lelei ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku kātaki ʻae meʻa kotoa pē. 

⁸ ‌ʻOku ʻikai fakaʻaʻau ʻo ngata ʻae ʻofa: ka ko e ngaahi kikite, ʻe ngata ia; pe ko e ngaahi lea, ʻe ngata ia; pe ko e ʻilo meʻa ʻe mole atu ia. 

⁹ He ʻoku tau ʻilo fakakonga pe, pea kikite fakakonga pe. 

¹⁰ Pea ʻoka hokosia ʻaia ʻoku haohaoa, ʻe mole atu ʻaia ʻoku fakakonga pe

Ma’ake 12: 28 - 30

²⁸ ¶ Pea ko e tangata tohi ʻe tokotaha, naʻa ne fanongo ki heʻenau fetauʻaki, pea ne ʻilo kuo tali lelei ʻe ia ʻakinautolu, pea haʻu ia ʻo fehuʻi kiate ia, “Ko e fekau fē ʻoku lahi ʻi hefono kotoa pē?” 

²⁹ Pea pehēange ʻe Sisu kiate ia, “Ko e lahieni ʻi he ngaahi fekau kotoa pē, ‘Fanongo, ʻe ʻIsileli; Ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ko Sihova ʻoku taha pe: 

³⁰ pea ke ʻofa kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻaki ho loto kotoa, pea mo ho laumālie kotoa, mo ho ʻatamai kotoa, mo ho mālohi kotoa.’ Ko e lahi eni ʻi he fekau. 

³¹ Pea ko hono ua ʻoku tataumo ia, ‘Ke ke ʻofa ki ho kaungāʻapi ʻo hangē pe ko koe.’ ʻOku ʻikai ha fekau ʻe lahi hake ki he ongo fekau ni.”
