“Mou sivi ʻo ʻilo, pe ko e ha ʻa e meʻa ʻe hōifua ai ʻa e ʻEiki.”—EF. 5:10.

Hangē ko ení, ʻoku pehē ʻe he Sāme 104:14, 15 (PM) ʻoku ʻai ʻe Sihova ke tupu mai ʻa e “mea kai mei he kelekele; moe uaine aia oku fakafiefiaʻi ae loto oe tagata, moe lolo ke fakagigila hono mata, moe ma ke fakamalohi ae loto oe tagata.” Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ʻai ʻe Sihova ʻa e ngoué ʻo tupu ke tokonaki mai ʻa e uite, lolo, mo e uaine ke tau moʻui ai. Ka ko e uainé foki “oku fakafiefiaʻi ae loto.” ʻOku mahulu atu ia ʻi he meʻa ʻoku mātuʻaki fiemaʻu ke tauhi e moʻuí pea ʻoku tānaki ia ki heʻetau fiefiá. (Koh. 9:7; 10:19) ʻIo, ʻoku loto ʻa Sihova ke tau fiefia, ko hotau lotó ʻoku fonu he “fiefia.”—Ng. 14:16, 17, PM.

(Mt. 6:26, 28; Sāme 8:3, 4) Ko ha moʻui lelei ko ha “meʻa foaki ia ʻa e ʻOtua.” (Koh. 3:12, 13) ʻI he vakai ki he taimi mālōloó ko ha konga ia e meʻa foaki ko iá te ne ueʻi kitautolu ke ngāueʻaki ia ʻi ha founga te ne ʻomi ai e fiefia ki he Tokotaha-Foakí.

6 Ki muʻa ke kau ʻi ha faʻahinga fakafiefia, ko e ʻuluaki fehuʻi ke ʻeke kiate koé, Ko e hā?—ʻa ia, ‘Ko e hā ʻa e natula ʻo e meʻa ʻoku fai ʻi hoto taimi mālōloó ʻa ia ko e meʻa ia ʻoku ou ongoʻi ʻoku ou manako aí?’ ʻI hoʻo kumi ʻa e talí, ʻoku ʻaonga ke manatuʻi ʻoku meimei ʻi ai ʻa e kalasi ʻe ua ʻo e fakafiefiá.

Tatau ai pē pe ko fē nai ʻoku tau ʻi aí, ʻoku tau fakamoʻoniʻi kia Sihova ʻoku tau “fehiʻaʻia ki he kovi” ʻaki ʻa e fakafisi ke ofi ki he ngaahi fakafiefia peheé.—Loma 12:9; 1 Sione 1:5, 6.

7 Ko e kalasi hono ua ʻo e meʻa ʻoku fai ʻi hoto taimi mālōloó ʻoku kau ai e ngaahi faʻahinga fakafiefia ʻoku ʻikai fakatefito ia he ngaahi tōʻonga ʻoku fakahalaiaʻi mahino ʻi he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. ʻI he ngaahi tuʻunga peheé, ki muʻa ke fili e fakafiefiá, ʻoku totonu ke tau fakahoa fakalelei ʻa e meʻa ʻoku faí mo e vakai ʻa Sihova ki he meʻa ʻoku leleí, hangē ko ia ʻoku fakahaaʻi he ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻi he Tohi Tapú. (Pal. 4:10, 11) ʻOku fiemaʻu leva ke tau fai ha fili fakafoʻituitui te ne tuku mai ai kia kitautolu ha konisēnisi lelei. (Kal. 6:5; 1 Tim. 1:19) ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fai pehē? Fakakaukau ki heni: Ki muʻa ke kai ha meʻatokoni foʻou, te tau fie ʻuluaki ʻilo pe ko e hā hono ngaahi meʻa tefitó. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ki muʻa ke kau atu ʻi ha faʻahinga fakafiefia, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau vakavakaiʻi pe ko e hā hono ngaahi tafaʻaki tefitó.—Ef. 5:17.

Hili hono sivisiviʻi e meʻa ʻoku kau ki aí, ngalingali te ke fili ʻo pehē ʻe faingataʻa ke feongoongoi hoʻo fakakaukaú mo e founga fakakaukau ʻa Sihová mo e pōpoaki ʻo e melinó mo e ʻofá ʻa ia ʻoku tau malangaʻi ki he niʻihi kehé.

Kae kehe, ko e tali ki he fehuʻi ko fē taimi? ʻoku tapua atu ai e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau fakamuʻomuʻá—ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku mahuʻingá mo e meʻa ʻoku tau ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai mahuʻingá. ʻE lava fēfē leva, ke tau fakapapauʻi pe ʻoku totonu ʻa e lahi ʻo e mahuʻinga ʻoku tau ʻai ki heʻetau fakafiefiá?

10 Naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ki hono kau muimuí: “Te ke ʻofa ki he ʻEiki ko ho ʻOtua, ʻo fai ʻaki ʻa e kotoa ʻo ho loto, mo e kotoa ʻo ho laumālie, mo e kotoa ʻo ho ʻatamai, mo e kotoa ʻo ho ivi.” (Mk. 12:30) Ko ia ai, ko ʻetau ʻofa kia Sihová ʻoku muʻomuʻa ia ʻi heʻetau moʻuí. ʻOku tau fakahāhā ko e tuʻungá eni ʻaki ʻetau muimui ki he ekinaki ʻa Sīsuú: ‘Ko ia ai, hanganaki fuofua kumi ki he Puleʻangá mo e māʻoniʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ʻe tānaki atu kiate kimoutolu ʻa e toe ngaahi meʻá ni kotoa.’ (Mt. 6:33, NW) ʻE lava fēfē ʻe he fakamatala ko iá ʻo tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi hono fakapapauʻi e lahi ʻo e taimi mo e mahuʻinga ʻoku vaheʻi ki he fakafiefiá?
11 Fakatokangaʻi e fakaikiiki ko ení: Naʻe ekinaki mai ʻa Sīsū ke ‘hanganaki fuofua kumi ki he Puleʻangá.’ Naʻe ʻikai te ne tala mai ke ‘hanganaki kumi pē ki he Puleʻangá.’ ʻOku hā mahino, naʻe ʻilo ʻe Sīsū ʻe fiemaʻu ke tau kumi ki he ngaahi meʻa lahi ʻi he moʻuí ʻo tānaki atu ki he Puleʻangá. ʻOku tau fiemaʻu e nofoʻanga, meʻakai, vala, ko ha ako tefito, ngāue, fakafiefia, pea ʻoku hokohoko atu ʻa e lisí. Kae kehe, ʻi he kotoa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau kumí, ko e ngāue pē taha ʻoku muʻomuʻá—ko e ngaahi meʻa ʻo e Puleʻangá. (1 Kol. 7:29-31) Ko e foʻi moʻoni tefito ko iá ʻoku totonu ke ne ueʻi kitautolu ke tuli ki heʻetau ngaahi ngāué ʻo fika ua, kau ai e fakafiefiá, ʻi ha faʻahinga founga te nau fakamafeia ai kitautolu ke fakahoko ʻetau ngāue muʻomuʻá—ʻa e tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e Puleʻangá. Kapau te tau fai ia, ʻe lava ke ʻaonga ʻa e fakafiefia fakangatangatá.

Ko hono hokó, kuo pau ke tau fakapapauʻi pe ko e hā e lahi hotau taimi ʻoku tuha mo iá. Kapau ko e tuli ki ha faʻahinga fakafiefia ʻe ʻuhinga ai ko hono liʻaki e ngaahi ngāue mahuʻinga hangē ko e ako Tohi Tapu fakafoʻituituí, lotu fakafāmilí, maʻu e ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané, pe kau hono malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá, ʻoku ʻikai tuha ia mo e fakamolé.

Neongo naʻá ne anga-fakakaumeʻa ki he kakaí fakalūkufua, naʻá ne hoko ko ha kaumeʻa ofi pē ki he faʻahinga naʻa nau aʻusia e ngaahi fiemaʻu tefito. ʻI heʻene lea ki heʻene kau ʻapositolo faitōnunga ʻe toko 11, naʻe fakahā ʻe Sīsū: “Ko hoku ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻakimoutolu ʻo kapau ʻoku mou fai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku ou tuʻutuʻuni atu.” (Sione 15:14; toe sio ki he Sione 13:27, 30.)
