“ʻOku monūʻia ʻa e tangata ko ia ʻokú ne maʻu ʻa e potó, mo e tangata ʻokú ne lavaʻi ʻa e ʻiló” (Lea Fakatātā 3:5–7, 11–13).
ʻOku maʻu foki mei he Fuakava Foʻoú mo ha ngaahi moʻoni mahuʻinga:

“Ko e fekaú ni ʻe ua ʻoku tautau ai ʻa e fonó kotoa mo e kau palōfitá” (Mātiu 22:37–40).
“Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻEikí, Saimone, Saimone, vakai, ʻoku holi ʻa Sētane kiate kimoutolu; koeʻuhí ke ne fakatangaʻi ʻa kimoutolu ʻo hangē ko e uité:

“Pea hili nai ʻa e feituʻu pō ʻe taha, mo ʻene lea fakapapau ʻa e tokotaha, ʻo pehē, Ko e moʻoni naʻe ʻiate ia foki ʻa e sianá ni; he ko e Kāleli ia.
“Pea pehē ange ʻe Pita, ʻE tangata,ʻoku ʻikai te u ʻilo ʻa ia ʻokú ke lea ki aí. Pea fakafokifā pē, ʻi heʻene kei leá, naʻe ʻuʻua ʻa e moá.
“Pea tafoki ʻa e ʻEikí ki mui, ʻo ne sio kia Pita, pea manatuʻi ʻe Pita ʻa e lea ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻi heʻene pehē kiate ia, ʻE teʻeki ai ʻuʻua ʻa e moá kuo tuʻo tolu haʻo fakafisinga au.
“Pea ʻalu ki tuʻa ʻa Pita, ʻo tangi mamahi” (Luke 22:31–34, 56–62).
ʻOku mamahi moʻoni ʻa hoku lotó he meʻa ne hoko kia Pita ʻi he taimi ko iá.
Kuo faitāpuekina lahi ʻeku moʻuí ʻe he potufolofola ko ʻeni mei he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakavá: “ʻOua ʻe feinga ke malanga ʻaki ʻa ʻeku leá, kae fuofua feinga ke maʻu ʻeku leá, pea ʻe toki vete ho ʻeleló; pea kapau te ke loto ki ai, te ke maʻu leva ʻa hoku Laumālié pea mo ʻeku leá, ʻio ʻa e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ki hono fakalotoʻi ʻo e kakaí ke tui” (T&F 11:21).

“Pea manatuʻi ke mou maʻu ʻa e tuí, mo e ʻamanaki leleí, mo e manavaʻofá, pea mou toki fai ke lahi ʻa e ngaahi ngāue leleí” (ʻAlamā 7:23–24)
Pea mo e taha:
“Pea ʻoku kātaki fuoloa ʻa e manavaʻofá, pea ʻoku ʻofa ia, pea ʻoku ʻikai meheka, pea ʻoku ʻikai fakafuofuolahi, ʻoku ʻikai kumi ene meʻa ʻaʻana, ʻoku ʻikai ʻitangofua, ʻoku ʻikai fakakaukau kovi, pea ʻoku ʻikai fiefia ʻi he angahalá ka ʻoku fiefia ʻi he moʻoní, ʻokú ne kātaki ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku tui ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku ʻamanaki ki he meʻa kotoa pē, ʻoku kātekina ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē.
