Ko e hā pē ha faʻahinga meʻa ʻoku fakahoko [fakalao] ʻe he Siasí ni ʻoku makatuʻunga ia ʻi he ʻOtuá, ʻa ia ʻoku folofola mai mei he langí ʻi hotau kuongá ni, ʻo ne fekauʻi ʻa e Siasí ni ke nau fai ia. … Ko e konisitūtone ia ʻo e Siasi ʻo Kalaisí. Kapau ʻoku tau fakaʻaongaʻi ʻa e vaí kae ʻikai ko e uainé ʻi he sākalamēniti ʻo e ʻOhomohe ʻa e ʻEikí, ʻoku fai ia koeʻuhí he naʻe fekauʻi ʻe Kalaisi ke fai pehē [vakai, T&F 27:1–4].

ʻOku fakafeʻungaʻi ʻa e fakahā fakalangí ki he ngaahi tuʻunga mo e ngaahi tūkunga ʻo e tangatá, pea ʻoku liliu pea toe liliu ʻi he hoko atu ʻo e ngāue ʻa e ʻEikí ke aʻusia hono taumuʻá. ʻOku ʻikai ha tohi ia ʻe lahi feʻunga pe lelei feʻunga ke ne puleʻi ʻa e Siasí ni.

ʻI heʻeku lea ʻaki ʻení, ʻoku ou fai ia ʻi he fakaʻapaʻapa kakato ki he folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá kuo tohí, ʻa ē kuo ʻosi paaki ʻi he ngaahi tohí, pea ʻoku mahalo ʻoku ʻi ai hano konga kuo ʻosi hono taimí, he kuó ne ʻosi fakahoko hono taumuʻá pea hili ia ki he ngaahi tukuʻanga tohí [hangē ko e ngaahi feilaulau ʻaki e monumanú; vakai, 3 Nīfai 9:19–20], ka ko hono konga ʻoku kei toé ʻoku mahuʻinga, kei ʻaonga kakato, mo kaunga ki hotau tuʻunga lolotongá—ki hotau tuʻunga fakalakalaka lolotongá. Ka naʻa mo e konga ko ʻení kuo pau ke fakaʻuhingaʻi totonu ia. ʻOku ʻikai totonu ke fakakikihi ha taha koeʻuhí ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi tohí, kae ʻikai ko ia ʻoku tō mei he fakafofonga ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻa ē ʻoku nau lea Maʻana mo fakaʻuhingaʻi ʻEne folofolá [vakai, T&F 1:37–38].
