1ʻAe ngaahi ʻeiki, ʻatu ki hoʻomou kau tamaioʻeiki ʻaia ʻoku totonu mo tatau; he ʻoku mou ʻilo ʻoku ai homou ʻEiki foki ʻi he langi.
1Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2Fai maʻu pe ʻae lotu, pea leʻo ʻi ai mo fakafetaʻi;
2Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3Pea 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:
3Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
4Koeʻuhi ke u fakahā atu ia, ʻo taau mo ia ʻoku totonu ke u lea ʻaki.
4That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5Mou ʻaʻeva ʻi he angafakapotopoto kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻi tuaʻā, ʻo huhuʻi ʻae kuonga.
5Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6Ke lelei maʻuaipē hoʻomou lea, ʻo fakalelei ʻaki ʻae māsima, koeʻuhi ke mou ʻilo ke tali totonu ʻae tangata kotoa pē.
6Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

8Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
