7 Lau ʻa e Loma 12:3, 16. Ko e mafai fakalaumālie nai ʻoku tau maʻú ko e tupu ia mei he “kelesi” pe ʻofa maʻataʻatā ʻa Sihová. ʻOku toe fakahaaʻi ʻe Paula: “Ko ʻemau hoko ʻo taau feʻungá ʻoku haʻu ia mei he ʻOtuá.” (2 Kol. 3:5, NW) Ko ia ai, ʻoku totonu ke ʻoua te tau fakalāngilangiʻi kitautolu. ʻOku totonu ke tau ʻiloʻi ʻi he anga-fakatōkilalo ko ha fua pē nai ʻoku tau maʻu ʻi heʻetau ngāue fakafaifekaú ko e ola ia ʻo e tāpuaki ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻo ʻikai ko haʻatau taau.
