13 Mo kimoutolu foki, ʻi he hili hoʻomou fanongo ki he folofola ʻoe moʻoni, ko e ongoongolelei ʻo homou fakamoʻui: ʻaia foki ʻi hoʻomou tui, naʻe fakaʻilonga ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni ʻoe talaʻofa,
A cikin Almasihu ne kuma kuka samu jin maganar gaskiya, bisharan cetonku ta wurin Yesu. A cikinsa ne kuka bada gaskiya aka hatimce ku da Ruhu Mai Tsarki wanda aka alkawarta.
14 ʻAia ko e fakamoʻoni ia ʻo hotau tofiʻa, kaeʻoua ke huhuʻi ʻae tofiʻa kuo fakatau, ke fakaongolelei ai ʻene angalelei.

Ya sanya shi bisa birbishin dukan sarauta, iko, mulki, karfi, da kowanne irin suna. Ya sanya Almasihu ba a wannan zamanin kadai ba, amma da zamani mai zuwa. (aiōn g165)
22 Pea kuo tuku ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono lalo vaʻe, pea fakanofo ia ko e ʻulu ki he ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ki hono siasi,
Allah ya saka dukan abubuwa a karkashin kafafun Almasihu. Ya sa shi shugaban dukan abubuwa a cikin ikilisiya.
