We should not be so preoccupied with the pursuit of material things—either the necessities or the pleasures of life—that we have little time for deeds that reflect “godly devotion.” 	 E se ‵tau o ‵saga malosi atu tatou o fakaputu a koloa faka-te-foitino—faitalia me ko mea e ‵tau o maua io me ko fakafiafiaga o te olaga—ko mu‵tana fua ei ‵tou taimi e fakaaogā ki mea kolā e fakaasi mai i ei te ‘taviniga ki te Atua.’

(Rom. 1:7) Thus, Paul was contrasting Christians who walked according to the flesh with Christians who walked according to the spirit. 	 (Loma 1:7) Kae ne fakatusa‵tusa eiloa ne Paulo a Kelisiano kolā ne sa‵sale i te foitino mo Kelisiano kolā ne sa‵sale i te agaga.


She was indeed dead, but Jesus was about to show that people can be raised to life just as they can be awakened from a deep sleep. 	 Ne mate tonu te tamaliki, kae ne fia fakaasi atu ne Iesu me e mafai fua o toe faka‵tu mai a tino ki te ola e pelā eiloa mo te ‵fagu mai o latou mai i te ‵moe palapala.

For you to bear witness against such a criminal would require courage as well as confidence that the authorities would protect you from him. 	 Ko te mea ke fakaasi faka‵sau atu ne koe te tino amio masei tenā, e manakogina ei te loto toa mo te loto talitonu me ka puipui koe ne te malo mai i a ia.
