ʻOku hā ha lēsoni mahuʻinga kau ki he fehokotaki ʻa e fakamoʻoní mo e uluí ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekau ʻa e ngaahi foha ʻo Mōsaiá.
“Ko kinautolu kotoa naʻe fakamahino ki ai ʻa e ʻilo ki he moʻoní, ʻi he malanga ʻa ʻĀmoni mo hono kāingá, ʻo fakatatau ki he laumālie ʻo e fakahaá mo e kikité, pea mo e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻo fakahoko ai ha ngaaahi mana ʻiate kinautolú—ʻio, … hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa e ʻEikí, ko e tokolahi ʻo e kau Leimana naʻe tui ki heʻenau malangá, pea nau ului ki he ʻEikí, naʻe ʻikai ke nau toe hē.
“He naʻa nau hoko ko ha kakai māʻoniʻoni; naʻa nau tuku hifo ʻa e ngaahi mahafu naʻa nau angatuʻu akí, ʻo ʻikai te nau toe tauʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá. …
“Ko ʻeni, ko e faʻahinga ʻeni ʻa ia naʻa nau ului ki he ʻEikí” (ʻAlamā 23:6–8).
ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ongo vēsí ni ha meʻa mahuʻinga ʻe ua: (1) ko hono ʻiloʻi ʻo e moʻoní, ʻa ia ʻe ala fakaʻuhingaʻi ko ha fakamoʻoní, mo e (2) ko e ului ki he ʻEikí, ʻa ia ko ʻene mahino kiate aú ko e ului ki he Fakamoʻuí mo ʻEne ongoongoleleí. Ko ia, ʻoku ʻomi ʻe hono fakatahaʻi lelei ʻo e fakamoʻoní mo e ului ki he ʻEikí ʻa e tuʻu maʻu mo e tuʻu ʻaliʻaliakí pea mo ha maluʻi fakalaumālie.
Ko e fakamoʻoní ko hano ʻiloʻi fakalaumālie ia ʻo e moʻoni naʻe maʻu ʻi he mālohi ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. Ko e ului hokohokó ko hono mateakiʻi maʻu pē ʻo e moʻoni kuo fakahā mai ʻo tau maʻú—ʻaki ha loto pea mo ha ngaahi taumuʻa māʻoniʻoni. Ko hono ʻiloʻi ko ia ʻoku moʻoni ʻa e ongoongoleleí, ko e uho ia ʻo ha fakamoʻoni. Ko e uho ʻo e uluí ʻa e tauhi moʻoni maʻu pē ki he ongoongoleleí. ʻOku totonu ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻoku moʻoni ʻa e ongoongoleleí pea tau tauhi moʻoni ki he ongoongoleleí.
ʻOku fie maʻu ha meʻa lahi ange ʻi he tui pē mo e ʻiló ke tuku hifo e “ngaahi mahafu ʻoku [tau tauhi ʻo] angatuʻu ʻakí” hangē ko e siokitá, hīkisiá, mo e talangataʻá. ʻOku muʻomuʻa ʻa e tuí, loto fakatōkilaló, fakatomalá, mo e fakavaivaiʻi kitautolú, ʻi hono siʻaki ʻo e ngaahi mahafu ʻoku tau angatuʻu ʻakí. ʻOku tau kei maʻu nai ha ngaahi mahafu ʻoku tau angatuʻu ʻaki ke ne taʻofi kitautolu mei haʻatau ului ki he ʻEikí? Kapau ʻoku ʻio, ta ʻoku fie maʻu ke tau fakatomala he taimí ni pē.
ʻOku ou palōmesi atu ʻi heʻene mahino kiate kitautolu ʻa e moʻoní pea tau ului ki he ʻEikí, te tau kei tuʻu maʻu pē mo tuʻu ʻaliʻaliaki pea ʻikai ʻaupito ke tau hē.
