(Senesi 3:19; Teutalonome 32:4; Loma 6:23; 1 Sione 4:8) ʻOku maʻu ʻe he kau faifekau kehe ia ʻo e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané ʻa e fakakaukau fehangahangai mo ia. ʻOku ʻikai ʻaupito te nau lave kinautolu ki he manavahē ki he ʻOtuá. ʻI hono kehé, ʻoku nau akoʻi ʻe kinautolu ʻoku fakangofua tavale pē ʻa e ʻOtuá ia pea ʻokú ne tali ʻa e meimei tokotaha kotoa pē ʻo tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa ʻene faʻahinga tōʻonga moʻuí. ʻOku ʻikai foki ke akoʻi ʻe he Tohi Tapú mo e meʻa ko iá.—Kaletia 5:19-21.

ʻUhinga ke Manavahē Ai ki he ʻOtuá
3. (a) ʻOku anga-fēfē hoʻo vakai ki he fekau ke manavahē ki he ʻOtuá? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku fiefia ai ʻa e kau manavahē kia Sihová?
3 ʻI he tuʻunga ko e Tokotaha-Fakatupu pea ko e Pule Fakaleveleva ʻo e ʻunivēsí, ʻoku taau ai ʻa Sihova ke fai ʻa e manavahē ki ai. (1 Pita 2:17) Kae kehe, ko e manavahē peheé ʻoku ʻikai ko ha mate ilifia ia ki ha ʻotua anga-fakamamahi. Ko e manavahē anga-ʻapasia ia koeʻuhi ko e tokotaha ko Sihová. Ko e toe manavahē ia ki hano taʻefakahōifuaʻi ia. ʻOku anga-fakaʻeiʻeiki mo langa hake ʻa e manavahē-ʻOtuá, ʻo ʻikai ke fakamafasia pe fakailifia. Ko Sihova, “ʻa e ʻOtua fiefia,” ʻokú ne fiemaʻu ʻene fakatupu fakaetangatá ke fiefia ʻi he moʻuí. (1 Timote 1:11, NW) Kae kehe, ke fai iá, kuo pau ke tau moʻui ʻo fehoanaki mo e ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ki he tokolahi, ʻoku ʻuhinga iá ki ha liliu ʻi he tōʻonga moʻuí. Ko e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau fai ʻa e liliu ʻoku fiemaʻú ʻoku nau hokosia ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e ngaahi lea ʻa e tokotaha-tohi-saame ko Tēvitá: “Mou kamata o vakai oku lelei a Jihova: oku monuia ae tagata koia oku falala kiate ia. Ke manavahe kia Jihova, akimoutolu ko ene kau maonioni: he oku ikai ha majiva kiate kinautolu oku manavahe kiate ia.” (Sāme 34:8, 9, PM) Koeʻuhi ʻoku nau maʻu ha vahaʻangatae lelei mo e ʻOtuá, ko e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku manavahē kia Sihová ʻoku ʻikai te nau masiva ʻi he meʻa ʻoku mahuʻinga tuʻuloá.
4. Ko e hā ʻa e fakapapau naʻe ʻomai fakatouʻosi ʻe Tēvita mo Sīsuú?
4 Fakatokangaʻi ʻoku hangē pē ko ia naʻá ne ngāueʻaki ʻi hono taimí, naʻe fakalāngilangiʻi ʻe Tēvita ʻa ʻene kau tangatá ʻaki hono ui kinautolu ko e “kau maonioni.” Naʻa nau hoko ko e konga ʻo e puleʻanga māʻoniʻoni ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻa nau toe tuku ʻenau moʻuí ke ʻi he tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki kae muimui ʻia Tēvita. Neongo naʻa nau hola meia Tuʻi Saula, naʻe loto-falala ʻa Tēvita ʻe hokohoko atu hono tokonaki mai ʻe Sihova ʻenau ngaahi fiemaʻu tefitó. Naʻe tohi ʻe Tēvita: “Oku majiva ae faga laione mui, mo fiekaia: ka ko kinautolu oku kumi kia Jihova e ikai te nau majiva i ha mea lelei e taha.” (Sāme 34:10, PM) Naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsū ʻa e fakapapau meimei tatau ki hono kau muimuí.—Mātiu 6:33.
5. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e puipuituʻa ʻo e tokolahi ʻo e kau muimui ʻo Sīsuú? (e) Ko e hā ʻa e akonaki naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū ʻo fekauʻaki mo e manavaheé?
5 Ko e tokolahi ʻo e faʻahinga naʻe fanongo kia Sīsuú naʻe mei he faʻahinga masiva mo māʻulalo ʻo e kau Siú. Ko ia ai, ko Sīsuú “naʻe langa hono fatu ʻi he ʻofa kiate kinautolu: he naʻa nau nofo ongosia mo tukuhāusia, ʻo hange ko ha fanga sipi taʻe hanau tauhi.” (Mātiu 9:36) ʻE maʻu ʻe he faʻahinga maʻulalo peheé ha loto-toʻa ke muimui ʻia Sīsū? Ke fai peheé, ʻe fiemaʻu ke nau fakatupulekina ʻa e manavahē kia Sihova, ʻikai ki he tangatá. Naʻe pehē ʻe Sīsū: “ʻOua te mou momoʻi manavahē kiate kinautolu ʻoku tāmateʻi ʻa e sino pe, kae hili ia ʻoku ʻikai te nau toe lava mo ha meʻa. Ka te u hinoiʻi kimoutolu ki he toko taha te mou manavahea: Mou manavahē kiate ia, ʻa ia ʻe hili ʻene tāmateʻi ʻa e sino pea ne mafai ke lī ki Heli; ʻio ʻoku ou tala atu, Mou manavahē ki he Toko taha ko ia. ʻIkai ʻoku fakatau ha fanga kiʻi misi ʻe toko nima ki ha konga seniti ʻe ua? pea ʻoku ʻikai tuku taʻe manatu hanau toko taha ʻi he ʻafio ʻa e ʻOtua. Ka naʻa mo e ngaahi tuʻoni louʻulu ʻomoutolu kuo ʻosi lau fakalāutelau. ʻOua te mou manavahe: ʻoku mou mahuʻinga ʻi ha fanga misi tokolahi.”—Luke 12:4-7.
6. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū kuó ne fakaivimālohiʻi ʻa e kau Kalisitiané? (e) Ko e hā ko Sīsū ai ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei taha ʻo hono fakahāhā ʻa e manavahē-ʻOtuá?
6 ʻI he taimi ʻoku fakaʻaiʻai ai ʻa e kau manavahē kia Sihová ʻe honau ngaahi filí ke nau tuku hono tauhi ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻoku nau manatuʻi nai ʻa e akonaki ʻa Sīsū: “ʻIlonga ʻa ia te ne fakaha ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kakai ʻene kau kiate au, ʻe fakaha foki ʻe he Fanautama ʻa Tangata ʻene kau kiate ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kau angelo ʻa e ʻOtua: ka ko ia kuo ne fakafisinga au ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kakai, ʻe mātuaki fakafisingaʻi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo e kau angelo ʻa e ʻOtua.” (Luke 12:8, 9) Kuo fakaivimālohiʻi ʻe he ngaahi lea ko iá ʻa e kau Kalisitiané tautefito ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻoku tapui ai ʻa e lotu moʻoní. ʻOku hokohoko atu hono fakahīkihikiʻi fakapotopoto ʻe he faʻahinga peheé ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané pea ʻi heʻenau ngāue fakamalangá. (Ngāue 5:29) ʻOku fokotuʻu mai ʻe Sīsū ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei taha ʻi hono fakahāhā ʻa e ‘manavahē ʻOtuá.’ (Hepelu 5:7, PM) ʻI he lea ʻo kau kiate iá, naʻe tomuʻa tala ʻe he Folofola fakaekikité: “E nofo iate ia ae Laumalie o Jihova, ae laumalie oe . . . manavahe kia Jihova; Bea e ilo vave eia ae manavahe kia Jihova.” (Aisea 11:2, 3, PM) Ko ia ai, ʻoku taau fakaʻaufuli mo Sīsū ke ne akoʻi mai kiate kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga ʻo e manavahē-ʻOtuá.
7. (a) Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku anga-fēfē ʻa e tali ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ki ha fakaafe meimei tatau mo ia naʻe fakaaʻu mai ʻe Tēvitá? (e) ʻE lava fēfē ke muimui ʻa e ngaahi mātuʻá ʻi he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ʻa Tēvitá?
7 Ko e faʻahinga kotoa ʻoku nau muimui ʻi he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsuú pea ʻoku nau talangofua ki heʻene ngaahi akonakí, ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku nau tali ha fakaafe meimei tatau mo e fakaafe naʻe fakaaʻu mai ʻe Tēvitá: “Haʻu, akimoutolu koe fānau, o fanogo kiate au: teu ako kiate kimoutolu ae manavahe kia Jihova.” (Sāme 34:11, PM) Naʻe fakanatula pē kia Tēvita ke ne ui ʻa ʻene kau tangatá ni ko e “fānau” koeʻuhi naʻa nau hanga kiate ia ko honau taki. Mei heʻene tafaʻakí, naʻe ʻoange ʻe Tēvita ʻa e tokoni fakalaumālie ki heʻene kau muimuí koeʻuhi ke nau malava ʻo fāʻūtaha mo maʻu ʻa e hōifua ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ē ki he ngaahi mātuʻa Kalisitiané! Kuo ʻoange ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻa e mafai ʻi he fekauʻaki mo honau ngaahi fohá mo e ngaahi ʻofefiné ke “hanganaki tauhi hake kinautolu ʻi he akonaki mo e fakatonutonu-fakaʻatamai ʻa Sihová.” (Efeso 6:4, NW) ʻI he lāulea fakaʻaho ki he ngaahi meʻa fakalaumālié mo ʻenau fānaú pea ʻi hono ako tuʻumaʻu ʻa e Tohi Tapú mo kinautolú, ʻoku tokoniʻi ai ʻe he ngaahi mātuʻá ʻenau fānaú ke nau fiefia he moʻuí ʻi he manavahē kia Sihova.—Teutalonome 6:6, 7.

8, 9. (a) Ko e hā ʻokú ne ʻai ha tōʻonga moʻui manavahē-ʻOtua ke mātuʻaki fakamānakó? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku kau ki hono maluʻi hotau ʻeleló?
8 Hangē ko ia naʻe lave ki ai ki muʻá, ʻoku ʻikai ke hanga ʻe he manavahē kia Sihová ʻo toʻo atu ʻetau fiefiá. Naʻe ʻeke ʻe Tēvita: “Kohai ha tagata oku holi ke moui, o manako ki he gaahi aho lahi, koeuhi ke ne mamata ai ki he lelei?” (Sāme 34:12, PM) ʻOku hā mahino, ko e manavahē kia Sihová ʻa e kī ke fiefia ai ʻi ha moʻui fuoloa mo sio ki he leleí. Kae kehe, ʻoku faingofua ke taukaveʻi, “ʻOku ou manavahē ki he ʻOtuá.” Ko e meʻa kehe ʻa hono fakamoʻoniʻi ia ʻaki hotau ʻulungāangá. Ko ia ai, naʻe hoko atu ʻa Tēvita ke fakamatalaʻi ʻa e founga ʻe lava ke tau fakahāhaaʻi ai ʻa e manavahē-ʻOtuá.
9 “Taofi ho elelo mei he kovi, mo ho lougutu mei he lea kākā.” (Sāme 34:12, PM) Naʻe fakamānavaʻi ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Pitá ke ne hiki ʻa e konga ko ʻeni ʻo e Sāme 34 ʻi he hili ʻene akonakiʻi ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ke nau feangaingaʻaki ʻi he ʻofa fakatokouá. (1 Pita 3:8-12) Ko hono maluʻi hotau ʻeleló mei he meʻa ʻoku koví ʻoku ʻuhinga iá te tau fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei hano fakamafola ha lau fakatupu maumau. ʻI hono kehé, te tau feinga maʻu pē ke fakatupu langa hake ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau talanoa ai ki he niʻihi kehé. ʻIkai ko ia pē, te tau feinga ke loto-toʻa mo leaʻaki ʻa e moʻoní.—Efeso 4:25, 29, 31; Semisi 5:16.

10 “Afe mei he kovi, ʻo fai lelei; Kumi ki he melino, ʻo tuli ki ai.” (Sāme 34:14) ʻOku tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakahalaiaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá, hangē ko e fehokotaki fakasino taʻetāú, fakalieliá, kaihaʻá, fakahaʻele faʻahikehé, fakamālohí, konaá, mo hono ngāuehalaʻaki ʻa e faitoʻo kona tapú. ʻOku tau toe talitekeʻi ʻa e fakafiefia ʻoku fakaeʻa mai ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia peheé. (Efeso 5:10-12) ʻI hono kehé, ʻoku tau ngāueʻaki hotau taimí ke fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leleí. Ko e meʻa lelei taha ʻoku malava ke tau faí ko e kau maʻu pē ki he ngāue malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá pea mo e ngaohi ākongá, ʻo tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau maʻu ʻa e fakamoʻuí. (Mātiu 24:14; 28:19, 20) Ko hono fai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku leleí ʻoku toe kau ki ai mo e teuteu ki he ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané pea mo hono maʻu iá, ko e tokoni fakapaʻanga ki he ngāue ʻi māmani lahí, ko e tokanga ki hotau Fale Fakatahaʻangá, pea mo e tokanga fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻa e kau Kalisitiane masivá.
11. (a) Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fai ʻe Tēvita ʻa e meʻa naʻá ne malangaʻi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e melinó? (e) Ko e hā ʻe lava ke ke fai ke ‘tuli ai ki he melinó’ ʻi he fakatahaʻangá?
11 Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Tēvita ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ʻi he tuli ki he melinó. Naʻe tuʻo ua ʻene maʻu ʻa e faingamālie ke ne tāmateʻi ai ʻa Saula. ʻI he ongo taimí fakatouʻosi, naʻá ne fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei he fakamālohí pea lea fakaʻapaʻapa ki mui ai ki he tuʻí, ʻi he ʻamanaki ke toe maʻu mai ʻa e melinó. (1 Samiuela 24:8-11; 26:17-20) Ko e hā ʻoku malava ke fai he ʻahó ni ʻi he taimi ʻoku fakamanamana mai ai ha faʻahinga tuʻunga ke ne uesia ʻa e melino ʻa e fakatahaʻangá? ʻOku totonu ke tau “kumi ki he melino, ʻo tuli ki ai.” Ko ia ai, kapau ʻoku tau ongoʻi ko e ngaahi vā ʻo kitautolu mo ha kaungātui ʻoku ʻikai fakafiemālie, tau talangofua ki he akonaki ʻa Sīsuú: “Tomuʻa fakalelei mo ho kāingá.” Hili iá pea tau toki hoko atu ki he ngaahi tafaʻaki kehe ʻo e lotu moʻoní.—Mātiu 5:23, 24, Kōsipeli ʻe Fā; Efeso 4:26.

Kae kehe, ʻoku malava ke nau fakapapauʻi fakaʻaufuli kapau te nau hanga kia Sihova, te ne tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau kātaki. ʻOku ʻomai ʻe he ngaahi lea ʻa Tēvitá ʻa e fakafiemālie moʻoni: “Oku ofi a Jihova kiate kinautolu oku loto mafeji; oku ne [fakamoui] akinautolu oku laumalie mafofoa.” (Sāme 34:18, PM) ʻOku fakalototoʻá, naʻe hoko atu ʻa Tēvita: “Oku lahi ae gaahi mamahi oe maonioni: ka oku fakamoui ia mei ai kotoabe e Jihova.” (Sāme 34:19, PM) Tatau ai pē pe ko e hā hono lahi ʻo e ngaahi mamahi ʻoku tō mai kiate kitautolú, ʻoku mālohi feʻunga ʻa Sihova ke ne fakahaofi kitautolu.
