Bem-aventurados os puros de coração. A pureza interior precede toda transformação externa e abre os olhos para ver a Deus.
"ʻOku monūʻia ʻae loto maʻa:
he te nau mamata ki he ʻOtua.
Ko hai ʻe ʻalu hake ki he moʻunga ʻo Sihova?
Pe ko hai ʻe tuʻu ʻi hono potu māʻoniʻoni?
Ko ia ʻoku nima maʻa, mo loto māʻoniʻoni;
ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te ne hiki hono laumālie ki he meʻa vaʻinga,
pe fuakava ʻi he kākā.
Te ne maʻu ʻe ia ʻae tāpuaki meia Sihova,
mo e māʻoniʻoni mei he ʻOtua ʻo ʻene moʻui.
Ke ke fufū ho fofonga mei heʻeku angahala,
mo ke tāmateʻi ʻeku ngaahi hia kotoa pē.
ʻE ʻOtua, ke ke fakatupu ʻiate au ʻae loto maʻa;
mo ke fakafoʻou ʻiate au ha laumālie tuʻumaʻu.
ʻOua naʻa ke liʻaki au mei ho ʻao pea ʻoua naʻa ke toʻo ʻiate au ho laumālie māʻoniʻoni.
Ko e moʻoni ʻoku angalelei ʻae ʻOtua ki ʻIsileli,
ʻio, kiate kinautolu ʻoku loto maʻa.
Purificar-se

Pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae ʻamanaki lelei ni ʻiate ia, ʻoku ne fakamaʻa ia, ʻo hangē ko e maʻa ʻaʻana.
ʻE kāinga ʻofeina, ko eni ko e fānau ʻae ʻOtua ʻakitautolu, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hā mai pe te tau hoko ko e hā: ka ʻoku tau ʻilo, ʻoka hā mai ia, te tau tatau pe mo ia; he te tau mamata totonu kiate ia. Pea ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku ne maʻu ʻae ʻamanaki lelei ni ʻiate ia, ʻoku ne fakamaʻa ia, ʻo hangē ko e maʻa ʻaʻana.
Pea ko eni, ko hono ʻuhinga ʻoe fekau, ko e ʻofa mei he loto maʻa, mo e ʻatamai lelei, mo e tui taʻemalualoi:
Ke ke puna foki mei he ngaahi holi fakatalavou: ka ke tuli ki he māʻoniʻoni, mo e angatonu, mo e ʻofa, mo e melino, kiate kinautolu ʻoku ui ki he ʻEiki ʻi he lotomaʻa.
Pea ko ʻeku lotu eni, ke tupulekina hoʻomou ʻofa ʻo lahi, pea lahi hake ʻi he ʻilo mo e angafakapotopoto kotoa pē; Koeʻuhi ke mou ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fai kehekehe; ka mou angatotonu mo taʻehalaia ʻo aʻu ki he ʻaho ʻo Kalaisi; Ke fakafonu ʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻae ngaahi fua ʻoe māʻoniʻoni, ʻaia ʻoku ia Sisu Kalaisi, ke ongoongolelei ai mo fakafetaʻi ai ki he ʻOtua.
Fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻo taʻelāunga mo e taʻefakakikihi: Koeʻuhi ke mou taʻehalaia mo taʻekovi, ko e fānau taʻevalokiʻia ʻae ʻOtua, ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kakai anga pikopiko mo fefeka, ʻakinautolu ʻoku mou ulo atu ki ai, ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi maama ʻo māmani; ʻO takiloa atu ʻae lea ʻoe moʻui; koeʻuhi ke u fiefia ʻi he ʻaho ʻo Kalaisi, ʻi he ʻikai teu lele noa pē, pe ngāue taʻeʻaonga.
Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻomou fakamaʻa homou laumālie, ʻi he Laumālie, ʻi hoʻomou talangofua ki he moʻoni, ki he ʻofa taʻeloi ʻoe kāinga, ke mou feʻofaʻaki ʻaki ʻae loto maʻa mo fakamātoato:
ʻOku maʻa ʻae hala kotoa pē ʻoe tangata ki hono mata ʻoʻona;
ka ʻoku fakamaau ʻe Sihova ʻae ngaahi laumālie.
