ʻOku tau faʻa hangē ko e talavou fefakatauʻaki mei Positoni ne pehē ʻe he talanoá naʻá ne kau ʻi he kau kumi koula ʻi Kalefōniá ʻi he 1849. Naʻá ne fakatau atu kotoa ʻene meʻa naʻe maʻú kae ʻalu ʻo kumi hono monuú ʻi he ngaahi vaitafe ʻo Kalefōniá, he naʻe talaange ki ai ʻoku fonu he ngaahi konga koula lalahí ʻo ʻikai faʻa lava hano fetuku.
Ne ʻosi atu e ʻaho mo e ʻaho mo e ohu ʻe he talavoú ʻene tiní he vaitafé kae hala pē. Ko e meʻa pē naʻe maʻú ko ha fokotuʻunga maka. Naʻe loto foʻi pea ʻosi ʻene paʻangá, pea teu ke tuku ā ʻi he ʻaho ʻe taha ka naʻe pehē ange ki ai ʻe ha motuʻa taukei he kumi koulá, “Tamasiʻi, fuʻu fokotuʻunga maka lahi moʻoni ʻaʻaú.”
Ne tali ange ʻe he talavoú, “ʻOku ʻikai ha koula ia ʻi heni. Te u foki au ki ʻapi.”
Ne lue atu e motuʻá ki he fokotuʻunga maká ʻo ne pehē ange, “ʻOku ʻi ai e koula heni. Ko e meʻá pē ke ke ʻiloʻi e feituʻu ke maʻu aí.” Naʻá ne toʻo hake ha ongo foʻi maka ʻo fakafepakiʻi kinaua. Naʻe mafahi ha taha ʻo e ongo foʻi maká kae fetapaki mei ai ha ngaahi momoʻi koula ʻi he huelo ʻo e laʻaá.
Ne fakatokangaʻi ʻe he talavoú e fonu ʻa e kiʻi tangai leta ʻi he kongaloto ʻo e motuʻá, peá ne pehē ange, “Ko ʻeku kumí ha ngaahi konga koula tatau mo ia ʻi hoʻo tangaí, kae ʻikai ko e fanga kiʻi momó.”
Ne fakaava hake ʻe he motuʻá ʻene tangaí pea sio e talavoú ki loto mo ʻamanaki ʻoku faʻo ai ha ngaahi konga koula lalahi. Naʻá ne ʻohovale he sio naʻe fonu e tangaí ia he fanga kiʻi momoʻi koula ʻe lauiafe.
Ne pehē ange ʻe he motuʻá, “ʻE hoku foha, hangē kiate au ʻokú ke fuʻu femoʻuekina hono kumi e ngaahi konga koula lalahí ʻo ʻikai ai ke ke fakafonu hoʻo tangaí ʻaki e fanga kiʻi momoʻi koula mahuʻingá ni. Kuó u tuʻumālie lahi ʻi heʻeku kātaki fuoloa ʻi hono tānaki e fanga kiʻi momoʻi koula ko ʻení.”

ʻOku ou falala te u lava ʻo maʻu ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni taʻengatá ʻi he folofolá ʻi he tokoni ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní.

Ko hono maʻu ha ngaahi moʻoni ʻi he folofolá ko ha tāpuaki ia ʻi heʻeku moʻuí pea ʻokú ne tokoniʻi au ke u ongoʻi ofi ange ki he Tamai Hēvaní mo Sīsū Kalaisi.
Ko hono maʻu e ngaahi moʻoní ʻi he folofolá
ʻOku ʻi ai ha ngaahi moʻoni ʻi he folofolá ʻoku faingataʻa ange hono ʻiloʻí ʻi ha niʻihi. Fekumi ki he tokoni ʻa e Tamai Hēvaní ʻo fakafou ʻi he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ke tokoni atu ke ke ʻiloʻi e ngaahi moʻoni ʻi he pōpoaki ʻa Paula ki he Kāingalotu ʻi ʻEfesoó. ʻE tokoniʻi koe ʻe he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ʻaki hano fakamoʻoniʻi atu e ngaahi moʻoni ko ʻení (vakai, Molonai 10:5; Sione 16:13).
Lolotonga e nofo pōpula ʻa Paula ʻi ha fale ʻi Lomá, naʻá ne tohi ki he kakai ʻEfesoó ke poupouʻi mo faleʻi kinautolu fekauʻaki mo e founga ke hokohoko atu ai ʻenau ʻunu ke ofi ange kia Sīsū Kalaisí mo e founga ke ikunaʻi ai e ngaahi ʻohofi fakalaumālie ʻa e tēvoló. Akoako ke ʻiloʻi ʻa e ngaahi moʻoni mei he meʻa naʻe vahevahe ʻe Paula mo e Kāingalotu ko ʻení.
Ko ha founga ʻeni ʻe taha te ke lava ai ʻo fekumi ki he ngaahi moʻoni taʻengatá ʻi hoʻo ako e folofolá. Lau ʻa e ʻEfesō 2:4–10, pea fakahoko e ngaahi sitepu ko ʻení:
