(2 Pita 3:3) Ko ia ai, ngaahi mātuʻa, ʻi hoʻo ako ʻa e Tohi Tapú mo hoʻo kiʻi tamá, fakalototoʻaʻi ia ke ne ako ʻa e ngaahi kaveinga te ne fakalahi ʻene fakaʻapaʻapa ki he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá mo e ngaahi tuʻunga fakaeʻulungāngá. Ueʻi ʻene malava fakaefakakaukaú ʻaki hono fakahanga ʻene tokangá ki he ngaahi tafaʻaki fakaofo ʻo e fakatupu ʻa Sihová. Tokoniʻi ia ke houngaʻia ʻi he ngaahi kikite Fakatohitapu fakaofo kuo ʻosi fakahokó. Pea hiliō he meʻa kotoa, lotu fakataha mo hoʻo kiʻi tamá pea lotu maʻana. ʻI hoʻo fai iá, ʻe lava ke ke fakapapauʻi ʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova hoʻo ngaahi feinga ke tokoniʻi hoʻo kiʻi tamá ke fakaivimālohiʻi ʻene tuí.—2 Kal. 15:7.
