He hopena ka hopena o kekahi kaikamahine'ōpiopio i kāna kaikamahine maikaʻi, aʻo ka hoaaloha i mareʻoleʻia e hōʻoleʻo ia he akuawahine.
E noʻonoʻo kākou, inā he mea hiki i kahi kaikamahine e mareʻoleʻia e bapetizo i ke kaikamahine mua a inā he mau hopena kūpono paha ma hope o kēia hopena.
ʻO ka lono i ko mākou ola
Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei inā inā hoʻohui ka poʻe i mareʻole i ke kaikamahine mua, e hāʻawi lākou iā ia i ka hauʻoli wahine aʻaʻole loa e male. ʻO ka bapetizoʻana he kānāwai pule ia, no laila, e noi aku kākou e wehewehe i ka nīnau no ke kumu e hikiʻole ai ke bapetizo i ke kaikamahine mua i kahi kaikamahine maleʻole, i nā kuhina o kaʻekalesia a me ka puke pule. Hāʻawi pinepine nā Makua Hemolele i ka pane maʻalahi a me ka paneʻole i kēia kūlana:ʻo kēia mau mea kuhiʻole a me ka lapuwale. He mea pono a hana maikaʻi ka mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe, inā e bapetizoʻiaʻoe a hiki i ka lāʻumikumamākolu, hikiʻole. Akā,ʻo ka manaʻo hoʻomana,ʻo ia kekahi o ko lākou mau pule pule o ka halepule, kahi a ka Baibala i'ōlelo ai: "Mai lilo ka pepeiao lohe i mea lapuwale, mai hōʻike hewa ka mea hōʻike hewa" (Exodus XXIII, 1). No laila, no ka bapetizoʻana i ke kaikamahine mua he kaikamahine hikiʻole ke mareʻia, akā,ʻo ka hōʻoleʻana i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻeʻana e like me ka Bible cannes, he hewa nui.
ʻO ko mākou mau manaʻo heʻano
Ma kēia kūlana, aia kekahiʻanoʻoluʻolu:ʻo kā mākou mau manaʻo a pau. ʻO ka hoʻokūkū, he mea paʻakikī paha ke kāhea, akā ua piha ka manaʻo. No laila, inā ua hoʻoholoʻoe e bapetizo i ke kaikamahine mua, a laila ponoʻoe e hana me nā manaʻo maikaʻi a me nā manaʻo maikaʻi e pili ana i kou mua a me ka hiki mai o kāu akua.
No laila, hiki ke bapetizo i ke kaikamahine mua i ka wahine i mareʻoleʻia, no ka hoʻoholo waleʻana iāʻoe iho. Hāʻawi ka hale pule a mahalo i kēia hana, akā inā kānaluaʻoe, a hopohopo,ʻoi akuʻoe i ka hōʻole. Ma hope o nā mea a pau,ʻo ka bapetizoʻana he mea hauʻoli ia, aʻaʻole loa he wahi no ka makaʻu a me ka makaʻu.
