Naʻe akoʻi ‘e ‘Eletā Niila A. Mekisuele ‘o e Kōlomu ‘o e Kau ‘Aposetolo ‘e Toko Hongofulu Mā Uá ‘o pehē: “ʻOku ‘ikai ko ha tokāteline fakafiefiemālie ‘a e moʻui ‘i he maama fakalaumālié. ‘Oku tau maʻu kotoa pē ‘a e ngaahi fili ke fai, ngaahi ngāue lahi mo faingataʻa ke fakahoko, ngaahi palopalema mo e ngaahi faingataʻa ke tau fepaki mo ia, ko e taimi ke fakaʻaongaʻi lelei, mo e ngaahi talēniti mo e ngaahi meʻa-foaki ke fakahoko totonu. ‘Oku ‘ikai ko e ‘uhinga ‘o hotau fili ‘ʻi ai he taimi ko iá,’ ke tau fakataʻetaʻetokanga ai ʻ‘i heni ‘i he taimí ni.’ ‘E tatau ai pē pe ko hano tomuʻa fakanofo ‘o e kakai tangatá, pe ko hono tomuʻa vaheʻi ‘o e houʻeiki fafiné, ka kuo pau ke fakamoʻoniʻi ‘e kinautolu kuo ui mo teuteuʻí ‘kuo fili ‘a kinautolu pea nau tui faivelenga.’ (Vakai, Fakahā. 17:14; T&F 121:34–36.)” (“Premortality, a Glorious Reality,” Ensign, Nov. 1985, 17).

Naʻe akoʻi ‘e ‘Alamā ‘a e kakai tangata ‘o Ámonaihaá, naʻe tokolahi ‘a e kakai tangata naʻe tomuʻa fakanofo kinautolu ‘i he maama fakalaumālié ke nau maʻu ‘a e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí.

ʻAlamā 13:21–31

‘Oku fakaafeʻi ‘e ‘Alamā ‘a e kakaí ke nau fanongo ki he leʻo ‘o e ‘Eikí pea hū ki hono mālōlōʻangá.

Kumi mo fakaʻilongaʻi ‘a e kupuʻi lea ko e “mālōlōʻanga ‘o e ‘Eikí” (pe ha kupuʻi lea ‘oku faitatau mo ia) ‘i he ʻAlamā 13:12, 13, 16, mo e 29. Naʻe akoʻi ‘e ‘Alamā ‘a e kakai ‘o ‘Amonaihaá, naʻe ui ‘e he ‘Eikí ‘a e kau tangata ki he lakanga fakataulaʻeikí ke nau tokoniʻi ‘a e kakaí ke nau hū ki he mālōlōʻanga ‘o e ‘Eikí.

Naʻe akoʻi ‘e Palesiteni Siosefa F. Sāmita ‘o kau ki he hū ki he mālōlōʻanga ‘o e ‘Otuá, o pehē “‘oku ‘uhinga ia ki heʻete maʻu ‘a e ‘ilo ki he ‘ofa ‘a e ‘Otuá, ‘o tui ki heʻene taumuʻá pea mo ‘ene palaní, ‘o aʻu ki ha faʻahinga tuʻunga te tau ‘iloʻi ai ‘oku tau totonu, pea ‘oku ‘ikai ko haʻatau kumi ha meʻa kehe, ‘oku ‘ikai uesia kitautolu ia ‘e ha matangi ‘o e tokāteline kotoa pē, pe ‘e he kākā olopoto ‘o e tangatá ‘a ia ‘oku nau tokatataʻo ʻai ke kākaaʻi. ‘Oku tau ‘iloʻi ko e tokāteline ia mei he ‘Otuá” (Ngaahi Akonaki ‘a e Kau Palesiteni ‘o e Siasí: Siosefa F.
