Naʻe ako ʻa ʻEletā Tāleni H. ʻOakesi ʻo pehē:
“ʻI he taimi naʻe maʻu ai ʻe ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi ʻa e ʻuluaki fekaú, naʻá na ʻi ha tuʻunga liliu, ʻo ʻikai kei ʻi he maama ʻo e ngaahi laumālié ka ʻi ha sino fakamatelie naʻe teʻeki ai moʻulaloa ki he maté mo teʻeki lava ke faʻu ha moʻui.

“… Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he Palōfita ko Līhaí ‘ka ne ʻikai maumaufono ʻa ʻĀtama pehē kuo ʻikai te ne hinga’ (2 Nīfai 2:22), ka naʻe mei nofo ai pē ʻi he tuʻunga tatau naʻe fakatupu ai iá.
“… ʻOku pehē ʻe Līhai, ko e Hingá naʻe palani, koeʻuhí he ‘kuo fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he poto ʻo ia ʻokú ne ʻafioʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kotoa peé’ (2 Nīfai 2:24).
“Ko ʻIvi naʻá ne tomuʻa maumauʻi ʻa e ngaahi fakangatangata ʻo ʻĪtení kae lava ke kamata ʻa e ngaahi tūkunga ʻo e moʻui fakamatelié. Ko e meʻa naʻá ne faí, neongo ko e hā hono natulá, ko ha maumaufono ia, ka ko ha fie maʻu nāunauʻia taʻengata ia ke fakaava e matapā ki he moʻui taʻengatá. Naʻe fakahaaʻi ʻe ʻĀtama hono potó ʻi heʻene fai e meʻa tatau. Ko ia, naʻe ʻhinga ‘a ‘Ātama [mo ʻIví] koeʻuhí ke ‘i ai ‘a e faʻahinga ‘o e tangatá’ (2 Nīfai 2:25).
“ʻOku ʻi ai ha kau Kalisitiane ʻoku nau fakahalaiaʻi ʻa ʻIvi koeʻuhí ko e meʻa naʻá ne faí, ʻo pehē naʻe tōnounou mo ʻene fānau fefiné ʻi he meʻá ni.

“ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he fakahā ʻi onopōní naʻe mahino ki heʻetau ʻuluaki ongomātuʻá ʻa e fie maʻu ko ia e Hingá. Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻĀtama, ‘Ke monūʻia ʻa e huafa ʻo e ʻOtuá, he ko e meʻa ʻi heʻeku maumau-fonó kuo fakaʻā ai ʻa hoku matá, pea te u maʻu ʻa e fiefia ʻi he moʻuí ni, pea te u toe mamata ʻi he kakanó ki he ʻOtuá’ (Mōsese 5:10)” (“The Great Plan of Happiness,” Ensign, Nov. 1993, 72–73).
