“Ewe Neun mwan ese feito pwe epwe nienoi aramas, pwe epwe amanauer” (wokisin 54–56).

President Joseph F. Smith a emrit pwe, “Ika emon semirit a nukumach me weires sipwe fos ngeni, kopwe nikitu ngenir tori kopwe winenir ren tong, … ka tongeni anisir ngeni met repwe usun.”8
A men auchea nupwen kopwe fon, ekewe soufos repwe chok soun fosun manauen ewe Samon. Doctrine and Covenants a tichikieti usun fon:

Preseten George Albert Smith a aiti kich pwe “ach fos mi ngaw ese feito seni amemefin ewe Samon.

“… Iwe ir me ruemon ra kuna me pwan rongorong ngeni ekkei semirit, pwan mwo monukon ra suki awer me apasa mettoch mi amwarar” (3 Nifai 26:14, 16).
