1 ʻAe ngaahi ʻeiki, ʻatu ki hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku totonu mo tatau; he ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ai homou ʻEiki foki ʻi he langi.
2 Fai maʻu pe ʻae lotu, pea leʻo ʻi ai mo fakafetaʻi;
3 Pea lotua ʻakimautolu foki, koeʻuhi ke toʻo kiate kimautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae matapā ʻoe lea, ke lea ʻaki ʻae meʻa fakalilolilo ʻa Kalaisi, ʻaia kuo haʻisia ai au:
4 Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā atu ia, ʻo taau mo ia ʻoku totonu ke u lea ʻaki.
5 Mou ʻaʻeva ʻi he angafakapotopoto kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā, ʻo huhuʻi ʻae kuonga.
6 Ke lelei maʻuaipē hoʻomou lea, ʻo fakalelei ʻaki ʻae māsima, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ke tali totonu ʻae tangata kotoa pē.
7 E fakahā atu ʻeku meʻa kotoa pē kiate kimoutolu ʻe Tikiko, ʻaia ko e tokoua ʻofeina, mo e faifekau angatonu mo e kaungā tamaioʻeiki ʻi he ʻEiki:
8 ʻAia kuo u fekau atu kiate kimoutolu koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ko ia, pea koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo pe ʻoku mou fēfē, pea fakafiemālie ki homou loto;
9 Pea mo Onesimosi, ko e tokoua angatonu mo ʻofeina, ʻaia ko homou tokotaha. Te na fakaʻilo kiate kimoutolu ʻae meʻa kotoa pē ʻi heni.
10 Ko ʻAlisitako, ho hoku kaunga nofo fale fakapōpula, ʻoku ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu, mo Maʻake, ko e tama ʻae tuofefine ʻo Pānepasa, (ʻa ʻia naʻa mou maʻu ʻae fekau ʻoku kau kiate ia: kapau ʻoku ʻalu atu ia kiate kimoutolu, maʻu ia; )
11 Mo Sisu, ʻaia ʻoku ui ko Susito, ʻakinautolu ni ʻoku ʻoe kamu. Ko kinautolu ni pe ko hoku kaunga ngāue ki he puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua, pea naʻa nau fakafiemālie kiate au.
12 Ko Epafasi, ko homou tokotaha, ko e tamaioʻeiki ʻa Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻofa atu ia kiate kimoutolu: ʻoku fai feinga maʻuaipē ia koeʻuhi ko kimoutolu ʻi he ngaahi lotu, koeʻuhi ke mou tuʻu haohaoa mo kakato ʻi he finangalo kotoa pē ʻoe ʻOtua.
13 He ʻoku ou fakamoʻoni ki ai, ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae loto feinga lahi kiate kimoutolu, pea mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻi Leotisia, mo kinautolu ʻoku ʻi Heilapoli.
14 Ko Luke, ko e faitoʻo ʻofeina, mo Timasi, ʻoku na ʻofa atu kiate kimoutolu.
15 Tala atu ʻeku ʻofa ki he kāinga ʻoku ʻi Leotisia, mo Nimifa, mo e siasi ʻi hono fale.
16 Pea ʻoka lau ʻae tohi ni ʻiate kimoutolu, vakai ke lau ia foki ki he siasi ʻoe kakai Leotisia; pea ke mou lau foki ʻae tohi mei Leotisia.
17 Pea tala kia ʻAkipa, “Ke ke vakai ki he ngāue kuo ke maʻu mei he ʻEiki, koeʻuhi ke ke fai ia.”
18 Ko au Paula ʻoku ʻofa atu ʻaki hoku nima. Manatu ki hoku ngaahi haʻi. Ke ʻiate kimoutolu ʻae ʻaloʻofa. ʻEmeni.
