ʻOku fakamoʻoni ʻa e folofolá ki he ngaahi taumuʻa taʻefaʻalaua ki he tautea ʻa e ʻEikí. Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Paula ʻi he Hepelū 12:10, ʻoku fakatonutonuʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻEikí “ke ʻaonga, ke tau kau ai ʻi heʻene māʻoniʻoní.” ʻOku ʻomi ʻe Heʻene fakatonutonú “ʻa e fua fakamelino ʻo e māʻoniʻoní kiate kinautolu kuo akonekina aí” (Hepelū 12:11). ʻE lava ke hoko mai e fakatonutonu ʻa e ʻEikí ʻi ha ngaahi founga lahi, pea ʻoku faʻa tokoni maʻu pē ia ke akonekina e niʻihi fakafoʻituituí pea pehē foki ke ʻomi ʻa e fakatonutonu ʻoku fiemaʻú. ʻOku tokoni ʻa e tauteá ke manatuʻi, fakatomala, maʻu e fakamolemolé mo e fakahaofí, ako e talangofuá, pea hoko ai ʻo lelei ange e kakai ʻa e ʻEikí (vakai, Hilamani 12:3; Tokāteline mo e Ngaahi Fuakava 1:27; 95:1; 105:6; Siope 23:10).
