Fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e lea ko ʻeni naʻe fai ʻe ʻEletā Pulusi C. Heifeni ʻo e Kau Fitungofulú, pea kole ki ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi ia:

“Talu mei he senituli hono nimá, mo hono akoʻi ʻe he tui faka-Kalisitiané ko e hinga ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIví ko ha fehalaaki fakamamahi. … ʻoku hala e maʻu ko iá. … Naʻe ʻikai ko ha meʻa fakamamahi ʻa e Hingá. Naʻe ʻikai ko ha fehālaaki pe ko ha meʻa ne hoko noa pē. Ko ha konga pē ia ʻo e palani ʻo e fakamoʻuí” (“The Atonement: All for All,” Ensign pe Liahona, May 2004, 97).

Fakaafeʻi e kau akó ke ako e 2 Nīfai 2:19–25 pea faʻu ha lisi ʻo e ngaahi ola ʻo e Hingá—ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hoko kia ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi hili ʻena kai ʻa e fua tapú. Pea kole ki he kau akó ke hiki ha ngaahi meʻa mei heʻenau lisí ʻi he palakipoé.

Ke tokoni ki hono tali ʻo e fehuʻí ni, fakaafeʻi ha niʻihi ʻo e kau akó ke nau taufetongi ʻi hono lau leʻolahi ʻa e ʻAlamā 42:6-10, 14 lolotonga iá ʻoku kumi ʻe he kalasí ʻa e ngaahi ola kehe ʻo e Hingá. ʻI he vahevahe ʻe he kau akó ʻa e meʻa naʻa nau maʻú, te ke lava ʻo tānaki ʻenau ngaahi talí ki he lisi ʻi he palakipoé.

Fakaʻaliʻali ʻa e fakamatala ko ʻeni ʻa ʻEletā Sefilī R. Hōlani ʻo e Kōlomu ʻo e Kau ʻAposetolo ʻe Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá, pea kole ki ha tokotaha ako ke lau leʻolahi ia:

“Naʻe maumauʻi ai [ ʻe Ātama mo ʻIvi] ki ha fekau ʻa e ʻOtuá pea naʻe pau leva ai ke na ʻalu mei hona nofoʻanga ʻi he ngoué, pea malava ai ke na maʻu ha fānau kimuʻa peá na toki fehangahangai mo e mate fakaesinó.
