Kotea tona tupuʼaga? Koteʼuhi neʼe nā tokakaga moʼoni ki te maʼuli fakalaumalie ʼo te ʼu tehina. Neʼe ui e Paulo neʼe loto ia ke “toe liliu pea mo ʼaʼahi te ʼu tehina” moʼo vakaʼi ʼonatou aluʼaga. Neʼe lotolelei ia ke faifolau ia kilometa ʼe lauʼi teau moʼo fakalotomalohiʼi natou. (Gaue 15:36) Pea ʼe ko te taʼi manatu ʼaia ʼae ʼe maʼu e ʼamatou taupau feoloʼaki ia ʼaho nei.

ʼE natou ʼomai ʼo fakalotomalohiʼi matou.
