Ka ʻoku ʻikai fakahaaʻi ʻe he potutohí ia hano fakamaʻalaʻala ʻo e ngaahi foʻi leá ʻi he lea naʻe tohi aí.

4. Naʻe ʻuhingá ke ngāueʻaki fēfē ʻe Siōsiua ʻa e fakahinohino ʻoku hiki ʻi he Siōsiua 1:8?
4 Ko e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻoku maʻu mei he Tohitapú ʻoku malava ke nau tataki kitautolu ʻi he moʻuí. ʻIkai ngata aí, ko hono lau mo hono ako ‘ae gaahi tohi maonioní, oku faa fakaboto kitautolu ki he fakamouí.’ (2 Tīmote 3:15, PM) Kapau te tau fakaʻatā ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ke ne tataki kitautolu, te tau ʻaʻeva hokohoko atu ai pē ʻi heʻene moʻoní pea ʻe hoko ʻa ʻetau ngaahi holi māʻoniʻoní. (Sāme 26:3; 119:130) Kae kehe, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau kumi ki he mahinó, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he fetongi ʻo Mōsesé, ko Siōsiua. Naʻe ʻikai mavahe mei hono ngutú ʻa e “tohi lao,” pea naʻe pau ke ne lau ia ʻi he ʻaho mo e pō. (Siōsiua 1:8) Ko hono ʻai ke ʻoua ʻe mavahe mei hono ngutú ʻa e “tohi lao” naʻe ʻuhinga iá heʻikai ke tuku ʻe Siōsiua hono tala ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakamaama ʻoku lea ʻaki aí. Ko hono lau ʻa e Laó ʻi he ʻaho mo e poó naʻe ʻuhinga iá naʻe pau ke fakalaulauloto ki ai ʻa Siōsiua, naʻe fiemaʻu ke ne ako ia. Naʻe naʻinaʻi meimei tatau ʻa e ʻaposetolo ko Paulá kia Tīmote ke “mamafa ki he”—fakalaulauloto ki—hono ʻulungaangá, ngāue fakafaifekaú, mo e faiakó. ʻI hono tuʻunga ko ha tokotaha mātuʻa Kalisitiané, naʻe fiemaʻu kia Tīmote ke ne tokanga tautefito ki heʻene moʻuí ke faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei pea mo ʻene akoʻi ko ia ʻa e moʻoni Fakatohitapú.—1 Tīmote 4:15.
5. Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻú ka tau maʻu ʻa e moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá?
5 Ko e moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá ko ha koloa mahuʻinga ʻaupito ia. Ke maʻu iá, ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻa e keli, mo e kīvoi ʻi he fekumi ki ai ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú. Ko e tuʻunga pē taha te tau maʻu ai ʻa e potó pea hoko ʻo mahino ʻa e manavahē anga-ʻapasia kia Sihová ko ʻetau hangē ha kau leka ako ʻa e Faiako Māʻongoʻongá. (Palōvepi 1:7; ʻAisea 30:20, 21) Ko hono moʻoní, ʻoku totonu ke tau fakamoʻoniʻi Fakatohitapu ha ngaahi meʻa. (1 Pita 2:1, 2) Ko e kau Siu ʻi Pēleá “naʻe anga fakaʻeiʻeiki ange ʻa e kakai ni ʻiate kinautolu ʻi Tesalonaika, he naʻa nau tali loto lelei ʻaupito ʻa e folofola, ʻo nau kumi ʻi he Tohitapu ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pe ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e ngaahi meʻa [naʻe leaʻaki ʻe Paula] ko ia.” Naʻe fakaongoongoleleiʻi kae ʻikai ke valokiʻi ʻa e kau Pēleá ʻi hono fai ʻa e meʻa ko iá.—Ngāue 17:10, 11.
6. Ko e hā naʻe malava ai ʻe Sīsū ke ne fakahā naʻe ʻikai ke ʻaonga ki he kau Siu ʻe niʻihi ʻenau fekumi ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú?
6 Naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki he kau Siu ʻe niʻihi: “ʻOku mou hakule ʻa e Tohitapu; koeʻuhi ʻoku mou mahalo ʻoku tuʻu ai hoʻomou maʻu ʻa e moʻui taʻengata: pea ko ia ia ʻoku fakamoʻoni kiate au. Ka talaʻehai ʻoku mou loto ke haʻu kiate au ke mou maʻu moʻui.” (Sione 5:39, 40) Naʻa nau fekumi ʻi he Tohitapú ʻi he fakakaukau totonu—ʻe lava ʻe he ngaahi meʻa ko iá ʻo tataki kinautolu ki he moʻuí. Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú ʻa e ngaahi kikite faka-Mīsaia ʻoku tuhu kia Sīsū ko e hala ia ʻo e moʻuí. Ka naʻe fakataleʻi ʻa Sīsū ia ʻe he kau Siú. Ko ia ai naʻe ʻikai ke ʻi ai hano ʻaonga kiate kinautolu ʻa ʻenau fekumi ʻi he ngaahi Konga Tohitapú.
7. Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ki he tupulaki ʻi he mahino fekauʻaki mo e Tohitapú, pea ko e hā hono ʻuhingá?
7 Ke tupulaki ʻa ʻetau mahino fekauʻaki mo e Tohitapú, ʻoku fiemaʻu kiate kitautolu ʻa e tataki ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá, pe ivi ngāué. “Ko e laumalie ʻoku ne hakule ʻa e meʻa kotoa pe, ʻio, ʻa e ngaahi loloto ʻo e ʻOtua” ke ʻomai honau ʻuhingá. (1 Kolinitō 2:10) Naʻe fiemaʻu ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻi Tesalonaiká ke nau “ahiahiʻi [“fakapapauʻi,” NW] ae gaahi mea kotoabe” ʻi ha ngaahi kikite pē naʻa nau fanongo ai.

Ko ia naʻe malava ai ki he kau Tesalonaiká mo e kau Pēleá ke nau fakapapauʻi ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē, ʻaki hono siviʻi ʻaki ʻa e liliu Sepituakini faka-Kalisi ʻo e Ngaahi Konga Tohitapu Faka-Hepeluú. Naʻe fiemaʻu kiate kinautolu ke nau lau mo ako ʻa e ngaahi Konga Tohitapú, pea ʻoku pehē pē mo kitautolu.

8 ʻOku totonu ki he kau mātuʻa kuo fakanofó ke nau ʻilo lelei taha ki he Tohitapú. Kuo pau ke nau “poto ʻi he faiako” pea kuo pau ke “buke ke mau ae lea mooni.” Naʻe fiemaʻu ki he ʻovasia ko Tīmoté ke ne “tofa totonu ʻa e folofola ʻo e moʻoni.” (1 Tīmote 3:2; Taitusi 1:9, PM; 2 Tīmote 2:15) Ko ʻene fāʻeé, ʻa ʻIunisi, mo ʻene kui fefine ko Lōisí naʻá na akoʻi kiate ia ʻa e ngaahi tohi māʻoniʻoní talu mei he kei valevalé, ʻo fokotuʻu kiate ia ʻa e “tui taʻeloi,” neongo ko ʻene tamaí ko ha tokotaha taʻetui. (2 Tīmote 1:5; 3:15) ʻOku fiemaʻu ki he ngaahi tamai ʻoku tuí ke nau ʻohake ʻenau fānaú “ʻi he akonaki mo e fakatonutonu fakaʻatamai ʻa Sihová,” pea tautefito ki he kau mātuʻa ʻa ia ko e ngaahi tamai ʻoku “tui ene fanau, bea oku ikai valokia i ha fakamaveuveu be ha talagataa.” (ʻEfesō 6:4, NW; Taitusi 1:6, PM) Ko ia, tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa e tuʻunga ʻoku tau ʻi aí, ʻoku totonu ke tau fakamātoato ʻi he fiemaʻu ko ia ke lau, ako, pea ngāueʻaki ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá.

(1 Tesalonaika 4:18) Ke māsila ʻa ʻetau mahino fekauʻaki mo e moʻoní, ʻoku ʻikai ha meʻa ʻe lelei hake ʻi heʻetau kau fakataha mo ha kau ako līʻoa kehe ʻi hono vakaiʻi ʻa e ngaahi Konga Tohitapú. ʻOku moʻoni ʻa e palōvepí: “ʻOku fakamasila ʻa e aione ʻaki ʻa e aione: pehe ʻoku fakamasila ha tangata he feangai mo ha taha kehe.” (Palōvepi 27:17) ʻOku malava ke hoko ha meʻangāue ʻaione ʻo ʻumeʻumea kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke ngāueʻaki maʻu pē ia mo fakamāsila. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fakataha maʻu pē mo fefakamāsilaʻaki ʻaki hono vahevahe atu ʻa e ʻilo kuo tau maʻu mei hono lau, mo hono ako, mo e fakalaulauloto ki he Folofola moʻoni ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Hepelū 10:24, 25) ʻIkai ngata aí, ko e founga ia ʻe taha ke fakapapauʻi ai ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e ʻaonga mei he ngaahi tapa mai ʻa e maama fakalaumālié.—Sāme 97:11; Palōvepi 4:18.
10. ʻOku ʻuhinga ki he hā ʻa e pehē ke laka ʻi he moʻoní?
10 ʻI heʻetau ako ʻa e Tohitapú, ʻoku malava ke feʻungamālie ʻetau lotu ki he ʻOtuá ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe fai ʻe he tokotaha-tohi-sāmé: “Ko hoʻo māma mo hoʻo moʻoni, ʻe, fekau mai muʻa; ke taki au ʻe kinaua.” (Sāme 43:3) Kapau ʻoku tau loto ke tau maʻu ʻa e hōifua ʻa e ʻOtuá, kuo pau ke tau laka ʻi heʻene moʻoní.

Pea ʻoku totonu ko ʻetau taumuʻa ʻi hono lau ʻa e Tohitapú mo e ngaahi tohi faka-Kalisitiané ke tupulaki ʻetau makupusi ʻa e konga lahi ʻo e moʻoni Fakatohitapu kuo ʻai ʻe he ʻOtuá ke ala maʻu ʻo fakafou mai ʻi he ‘tamaioeiki agatonú.’
