ʻOkú ke hangē ko e lea ʻa ʻEletā Jeffrey R. Holland, “ʻoku faka-ʻOtua ʻa e faiakó.”¹

“Ko e toko fiha [nai] … kuo ngaohi ke nau hiva ʻaki ʻa e ʻaloʻofa huhuʻí, pea ʻoku tupunga ʻeni koeʻuhi ko e mālohi ʻo ʻene folofolá ʻa ia ʻoku ʻiate [koe], ko ia ʻikai ʻoku fuʻu lahi ʻa [hoʻo] ʻuhinga ke fiefia aí?

“ʻIo, ʻoku ʻi ai [hoʻo] ʻuhinga ke fakalāngilangiʻi ia ʻo taʻengata, he ko e ʻOtua Fungani Māʻolunga tahá ia.”²

Ko e taimi ‘e niʻihi ʻoku mei laka ange ange ʻa e faingataʻa ʻi hoʻo ueʻi fakalaumālie, akoʻi, mo hono poupouʻi ʻo e toʻu tupú ʻi he meʻa te ke malavá. ʻOku ʻafioʻi ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e faingataʻa ʻo e ngāue ki hono ʻomai ʻo e ngaahi laumālié kiate Iá.

ʻOku hē ha niʻihi ʻo e kau akó, ka ʻi he Laumālie ʻo e ʻEikí, te ke lava ʻo tokoni ke nau foki ki he hala totonú. Manatuʻi ʻa e lea ʻa Paulá, “Kuo fakaʻapiʻapi ʻakimautolu mei he potu kotoa pē, ka ʻoku ʻikai efituʻu; moʻua pē, kae ʻikai taʻe ha tokoni; ʻoku fakatangaʻi, ka ʻoku ʻikai liʻaki; kuo lī ki lalo, kae ʻikai tamateʻi.”⁵
