Mahalo pē ʻokú ne ʻohofi koe ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi loi fekauʻaki mo Sihova. ʻOku loto ʻa Sētane ke ke ongoʻi ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe pea ʻoku ʻikai ke tokanga atu ha taha kiate koe. ʻOku pehē ʻe Ida, ʻa ia ʻokú ne taʻu 19: “ʻOku ou faʻa ongoʻi ʻoku ʻikai ke ofi mai ʻa Sihova kiate au pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne loto ke hoko ko hoku Kaumeʻa.” Ko e hā ʻokú ne fai ʻi heʻene ongoʻi peheé? “Ko e ngaahi fakatahá ko ha tokoni lahi moʻoni ia ki heʻeku tuí. Naʻá ku faʻa tangutu ai ʻo ʻikai ʻaupito ke u fai ha tali, ʻi he fakakaukau heʻikai ke fiefanongo mai ha taha ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻamanaki ke u leaʻakí. Neongo ia, ʻi he taimi ní ʻoku ou teuteu ki he ngaahi fakatahá pea feinga ke fai ha tali ʻe ua pe tolu. ʻOku faingataʻa, ka ʻoku ou ongoʻi lelei ange ʻi heʻeku fai iá.

16 Hangē pē ko hono maluʻi ʻe ha tatā ʻa e ʻuto ʻo ha sōtia, ko ʻetau “ʻamanaki ʻo e fakamoʻuí” ʻokú ne maluʻi ʻetau fakakaukaú. (1 Tes. 5:8; Pal. 3:21) ʻOku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he ʻamanakí ke tau tokangataha ki he ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá pea ʻoua ʻe loto-siʻi koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi palopalemá. (Saame 27:1, 14; Ngā. 24:15) Ka ʻo kapau ʻoku tau loto ke maluʻi kitautolu ʻe heʻetau ʻamanakí, kuo pau ke moʻoni ia kiate kitautolu. Kuo pau ke tau tui hotau ‘tataá,’ ʻo ʻikai ke toʻotoʻo ia!
20 Naʻe pehē ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ko e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻoku hangē ko ha heletaá. Kuo ʻomai ia ʻe Sihova kiate kitautolu. Ka kuo pau ke tau ako ke ngāueʻaki pōtoʻi ia ʻi hono taukapoʻi ʻetau tuí pe fakatonutonu ʻa e anga ʻo ʻetau fakakaukaú. (2 Kol. 10:4, 5; 2 Tīm. 2:15) ʻE lava fēfē ke ke fakaleleiʻi hoʻo pōtoʻí? ʻOku pehē ʻe Sebastian, ʻa ia ʻokú ne taʻu 21: “Kuó u tohiʻi ʻa e foʻi veesi ʻe taha mei he vahe kotoa pē ʻi heʻeku lau Tohi Tapú. ʻOku ou tānaki ha lisi ʻo ʻeku ngaahi veesi manakó.” ʻOku tokoniʻi ia ʻe he meʻá ni ke ne mahinoʻi lelei ange ʻa e anga ʻo e fakakaukau ʻa Sihová. ʻOku toe pehē ʻe Daniel: “ʻI heʻeku fai ʻeku lau Tohi Tapú, ʻoku ou filifili ʻa e ngaahi veesi ʻoku ou tui ʻe tokoni ki he kakai te u fetaulaki mo ia ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú. Kuó u ʻiloʻi ʻoku lelei ʻa e fakafeangai ʻa e kakaí ʻi heʻenau sio mai ʻokú ke loto-māfana fekauʻaki mo e Tohi Tapú pea ʻokú ke fai hoʻo lelei tahá ke tokoniʻi kinautolu.”

Laumālie māʻoniʻoni. Ko e ivi ngāue ʻo Sihová, pe laumālié, ʻoku fakamoʻulaloa ia kiate ia pea fakahoko maʻu pē ʻa ʻene taumuʻá. ʻOku maʻa ia mo toputapu pea ʻoku fakamavaheʻi ia ki he ngāue lelei ʻa e ʻOtuá. Ko ia ʻoku ui ai ko e “laumālie māʻoniʻoní.” (Saame 51:11; Luke 11:13; Loma 1:4; ʻEf. 1:13) Ko e ngāue ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoní ʻi ha taha ko ha mālohi ia ke ʻai ke māʻoniʻoni pe maʻa. Ko ha faʻahinga tōʻonga taʻemaʻa pe hala ʻe iku ki hono talitekeʻi pe “fakamamahiʻi” ʻa e laumālié.

Ko e tōʻongaʻaki ha faʻahinga faihala pē ʻokú ne fakatupunga ke “taʻofi ʻa e ngāue ʻa e laumālié.” (1 Tes. 5:19) Ko hono moʻoní, ka hokohoko atu ha tōʻonga pehē, ʻe “fakamamahiʻi” ai ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá pea ko hono olá nai ʻe hoko ʻa e ʻOtuá ko e fili ʻo e kau angatuʻú.

Ko e lea ʻa Paula ki he kau Filipaí ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau hohaʻa ai fekauʻaki mo ha palopalema, ko e fakaleleiʻangá ko e lotu. Ko ia ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau ongoʻi loto-moʻua aí, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau ʻohake ʻetau ngaahi hohaʻá ʻi he lotu.
