Naʻe pehē ʻe Molonai ko e ʻOtuá ko ha Taha ʻoku taʻe feliliuaki pea ʻoku “tatau ʻi he ʻaneafí, ʻaho ní, pea taʻengata” (Molomona 9:9). Fakatatau ki he Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 20:11–12, ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi ʻe hono ʻomi ʻo e Tohi ʻa Molomoná ʻoku hokohoko atu e ʻOtuá ke “ueʻi hake … ʻa e kau tangatá mo ui ʻa kinautolu ki heʻene ngāue toputapú” ʻi hotau ʻahó ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá Ne fai he kuohilí, “ʻo fakahā ai ko e ʻOtua tatau ʻi he ʻaneafí, ʻaho ní pea taʻengata.”
