ʻE Lava ke ʻOmi Kitautolu Ke Tau Ofi Ange Kia Sīsū ʻi heʻetau Ako ki Hono ʻAloʻí
Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe Palesiteni ʻEselā Tafu Penisoni: “ʻOku ʻikai toe fehuʻia ʻa e ngaahi fakamoʻoni ʻa e kau fakamoʻoni naʻe fokotuʻú ki he tamai ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. Ko e ʻOtuá ʻa e Tamai ʻo Hono sino fakaekakanó, pea ko ʻEne faʻeé ʻa Mele, ko ha fefine matelie. … Naʻe ʻikai ko e foha Ia ʻo Siosefa, pea naʻe ʻikai fakatupu Ia ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

ʻOku ui ʻa Sīsū Kalaisi ko e ʻAlo pē Taha naʻe Fakatupú koeʻuhí ko e ʻAlo pē Ia ʻe taha ʻo e Tamaí kuo ʻaloʻi ʻi he kakanó (vakai, 1 Nīfai 11:13–22).
