Naʻe aʻusia ʻe Sione Papitaiso ha lavameʻa lahi ʻi heʻene ngāué. Naʻá Ne ʻomi ki ha tokolahi ha mahino lahi ange ʻo e moʻoní. Ka naʻe mahino kia Sione ko hono tefitoʻi fatongiá ke teuteuʻi e kakaí ke liliu ʻe he Fakamoʻuí. Naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Sione “[kuo pau ke] fakaʻaʻau [ʻa Sīsū] ki muʻa, [kae] fakaʻauʻau [ia] ki mui” (Sione 3:30). Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻa ia naʻe taau ke maʻu ʻa e fakalāngilangí mo e nāunaú.

Naʻe toe fakahaaʻi leva ʻe Sione ʻa e loto-fakatōkilaló ʻaki ʻene talangofua ki he fakahinohino ʻa e Fakamoʻuí mo fai e meʻa naʻá Ne kole angé.
