ʻE lava ke fakamamafaʻi hono mahuʻinga ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní mo ʻene hoko ko e meʻafoaki taʻe-mafakamatalaʻí, ʻi ha founga ʻe ua, ʻo na māvahevahe pē. Ko e ʻuluakí ʻoku mei he Tohi ʻa Molomoná pea ko hono uá mei he Hisitōlia ʻo e Siasí.

Ne foki e kakaí ki honau ʻapí ʻo feinga ʻi he poó ke tānaki ha toe kakai ki he feituʻu naʻá Ne folofola te Ne toe hā mai ai kiate kinautolu he ʻaho hokó.
Tuʻunga heʻenau fuʻu tokolahí, ne vahevahe ai ʻe he kau ākonga ʻe toko hongofulu-mā-uá e kakaí ki ha kulupu ʻe hongofulu-mā-ua ke akoʻi ange ʻa e meʻa ne akoʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻi he ʻaho ki muʻá, pea nau lotu leva. ʻI he ngaahi meʻa ne nau ala lotuá, “ne nau lotua ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻa nau holi lahi taha ki aí; pea naʻa nau holi ke foaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní kiate kinautolu” (3 Nīfai 19:9), ʻo fakamamafaʻi ai e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní mo Hono mahuʻingá ʻa ia ʻoku makehe ʻi he ʻū folofolá kotoa.
Hili ʻenau lotú, ko e tali leva ʻo ʻenau lotú, ne papitaiso ai ʻe Nīfai e kau ākongá, pea hili iá, “naʻe tō ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní kiate kinautolu, pea naʻe fakafonu kinautolu ʻaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní pea mo e afi” (3 Nephi 19:13). Ne nau maʻu ʻa e fakamoʻoni pau pe ko e fakamoʻoni kiate Ia.
Naʻe toki hā mai leva e Fakamoʻuí kiate kinautolu
“Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē naʻe hāʻele atu ʻa Sīsū … ‘o kiʻi mamaʻo siʻi atu meiate kinautolu ʻo ne punou hifo ki he kelekelé, ʻo ne pehē:

“ʻE Tamai, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe ke ke foaki ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻe tui ki heʻenau ngaahi leá” (3 Nīfai 19:19–21).
ʻOku ʻikai ke u ʻilo ʻe au ha toe potu folofola te ne fakahaaʻi lelei ange hono mahuʻinga e ongo ʻa hotau Fakamoʻuí ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

Ngāue Hono 3—ʻOkú Ne Fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi. ʻOku maʻu ʻe foʻi lea sanctify mei he lea Faka-Latiná pea ʻoku konga ua: sanct, ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ko e “māʻoniʻoni” mo e facere, ʻoku ʻuhinga ia “ke ʻai ke,”—ko hono ʻuhingá ke “ʻai ke māʻoniʻoni.” ʻI heʻetau fakaʻaongaʻi fakalotu e foʻi lea sanctify ʻoku ʻuhinga ia ke fakamaʻa pe fakatauʻatāinaʻi mei he angahalá, ʻa ia ko ha tefitoʻi pōpoaki ʻo e ongoongolelei kuo fakafoki maí.

ʻOku hā mahino e fatongia fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻi he fakamatalaʻi ʻe he Fakamoʻuí ʻo ʻEne ongoongoleleí ʻi he 3 Nīfai 27:13–20, ʻa ia ʻoku fakaʻosi ʻaki ʻa e veesi makehe ko ʻení, “Fakatomala, ʻakimoutolu ʻa e ngaahi ngataʻanga kotoa pē ʻo e māmaní, pea haʻu kiate au ʻo papitaiso ʻi hoku hingoá, koeʻuhí ke fakamāʻoniʻoniʻi ʻa kimoutolu ʻi he maʻu ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, koeʻuhí ke mou tuʻu taʻe-ha-mele ʻi hoku ʻaó ʻi he ʻaho fakaʻosí” (3 Nīfai 27:20).
