Kuó u fakatokangaʻi kapau te u tali e ngaahi fehuʻí mo e hohaʻá mei ha tuʻunga ʻo e tuí, te u lava maʻu pē ʻo ʻilo ha founga ke u laka ai ki muʻa. “ʻOku ikai ko e tuí ʻa e maʻu ha ʻilo haohaoa ki he ngaahi meʻá” (ʻAlamā 32:21). Pea “kapau foki ʻoku ʻikai te mou lava ʻo fai ha meʻa lahi ange ʻi he holi pē ke tuí, tuku ʻa e holí ni ke ngāue ʻiate kimoutolu” (ʻAlamā 32:27

ʻE talaatu ʻe māmani kapau he ʻikai te ke lava ʻo fakamoʻoniʻi ha meʻa ʻaki ha tuʻunga fakasaienisi, ʻoku ʻikai ke moʻoni ia. ʻOku ʻikai ko e founga ʻeni ʻa e ʻEikí. Hangē ko e folofola ʻa e Fakamoʻuí kia Tōmasí, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai tui kae ʻoua kuó ne ala ki he ngaahi kafo ʻo e Fakamoʻui kuo toetuʻú maʻana, “ʻOua naʻá ke taʻe-tui, kae tui” (Sione20:27).

ʻOku toutou ʻasi ʻi he folofolá ʻa e kupuʻi lea ko e “kole, kumi, tukituki” (vakai, Mātiu 7:7; Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 88:63). Ko e founga ʻoku tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ʻe he ʻEikí ʻetau ngaahi fehuʻí, ko hono fai kiate Ia ha ngaahi fehuʻi.

“Ka ai hamou taha ʻoku masiva ʻi he potó, ke kole ʻe ia ki he ʻOtuá” (Sēmisi 1:5). ʻAlu hangatonu ki he tupuʻanga ʻo e moʻoni kotoa pē. ʻOku ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻiate koe pea te Ne tokoniʻi koe.

Hoko ko ha Tokotaha Fekumi ki he Moʻoní
