ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻe he Bible Dictionary ko e filí (election) ko ha “foʻi lea fakateolosia ia ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi e fili ʻe he ʻOtuá e fale ʻo ʻIsilelí ke nau hoko ko e kakai ʻo e fuakavá fakataha mo ha ngaahi monū mo e faingamālie, ke hoko ko ha maʻuʻanga tāpuaki ki he māmaní kotoa. …

Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, “naʻe ʻikai ko e Kau ʻAposetoló ne nau akoʻi hono fili maʻataʻatā ʻo e fakafoʻituituí ki he moʻui taʻengatá [tuʻutuʻuni].

“Naʻe ʻi ai ha vahaʻataimi naʻe kotofa maʻá e kau Siú ke nau fanongo ki he folofolá, pea mo ha vahaʻataimi ke muʻomuʻa ai ʻa e kau Senitailé. Ko e kuonga ʻo e kau Senitailé ʻa e vahaʻataimi ʻa ia naʻe ʻoatu ai ʻa e ongoongoleleí kiate kinautolu ʻi ha ngaahi ʻuhinga filifilimānako, pea ʻe hokohoko atu pē ʻeni kae ʻoua kuo nau maʻu ha faingamālie kakato ke tali ʻa e moʻoní, pe ko hono fakalea ʻe tahá kae ʻoua kuo hokosia e kakato ʻa e kau Senitailé. Pea ʻe toe ʻalu ʻa e pōpoakí ki he kau Siú, ʻo ʻuhinga ki he kau Siú ko ha puleʻanga pea mo e kakaí”(Doctrinal New Testament Commentary,3 vols. [1965 – 73], 2:290).

Naʻe akoʻi ʻe Nīfai ki hono ngaahi tokouá ʻi ha ngaahi senituli kimuʻa pea hiki ʻe Paula ʻa e tohi ko ʻení, ʻe toki ʻoatu ʻa e ongoongoleleí ki hono hakó mo e hako ʻo hono ngaahi tokouá ʻi he hokosia e kakato ʻa e kau Senitailé ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní. ʻE fakangofua ʻe he meʻá ni kinautolu “ke nau maʻu ʻa e ʻilo ki honau Huhuʻí mo e ngaahi tefitoʻi meʻa ʻo ʻEne ngaahi tokāteliné, koeʻuhí ke nau ʻiloʻi pe ʻe fēfē ʻenau haʻu kiate Ia ʻo moʻuí” (1 Nīfai 15:14). Ko hono tānaki fakataha ko ʻeni ʻo e hako ʻo Līhaí ko ha konga ia hono fakahoko ʻo e ngaahi vaʻa totonú ki he fuʻu ʻōlivé ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho kimui ní hangē ko hono kikiteʻi ʻe Paula mo Seinosí (vakai, Loma 11:23–25; Sēkope 5:52, 60, 63, 67–68).
