Ka, “naʻá ne fekau ke fakataha mai ʻa hono ngaahi fohá” pea akonekina kinautolu ʻi he “ngaahi meʻa ʻoku kau ki he māʻoniʻoní” (ʻAlamā 35:16). Naʻá ne akoʻi kiate kinautolu “ʻoku ʻikai mo ha toe hala kehe pe ha founga ʻe lava ai ʻo fakamoʻui ʻa e tangatá, kae ngata pea founga pē ʻia Kalaisi. … Vakai, ko e folofola ia ʻo e moʻoní mo e māʻoniʻoní” (ʻAlamā 38:9).
