[22] ʻAe kau fefine, mou fakavaivai ʻakimoutolu ki homou ʻunoho ʻomoutolu, ʻo hangē ki he ʻEiki.
[23] He ko e ʻulu ʻoe fefine ʻae ʻunoho, ʻio, ʻo hangē ko e ʻulu ʻa Kalaisi ki he siasi: pea ko e fakamoʻui ia ʻoe sino.
[24] Ko ia ʻo hangē ʻoku anganofo ʻae siasi kia Kalaisi, ke pehē ʻae kau fefine ki honau ʻunoho ʻonautolu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē.
[25] ʻAe kau tangata, mou ʻofa ki homou ʻunoho, ʻo hangē ko e ʻofa ʻa Kalaisi ki he siasi, ʻo ne foaki ia koeʻuhi ko ia;

[32] Ko e meʻa fakalilolilo lahi eni: ka ʻoku kau ʻeku lea kia Kalaisi mo e siasi.
[33] Ka mou taki taha ʻofa ʻae tangata ki hono ʻunoho ʻo hangē pe ko ia; pea ke fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae fefine foki ki hono ʻunoho.
