2 Maʻa mo Maau: Ko hotau fōtungá ʻoku totonu ke tapua atu ai ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo hotau ʻOtuá, ʻa ia ʻoku maʻa mo maau. (1 Kol. 14:33; 2 Kol. 6:19 [7:1, PM]) Ko kitautolu, ko hotau ʻulú, mo e ngeʻesi nimá ʻoku totonu ke maʻa, pea ʻoku totonu ke tau teuteu taau. Ko e teuteu ʻaiʻainoaʻiá ʻoku failahia ia he ʻahó ni. Kae kehe, koeʻuhí pē ko ha sitā faiva pe helo ʻi he ngaahi sipotí ʻokú ne hā taʻemaau ʻoku ʻikai ko ha ʻuhinga ia ki ha Kalisitiane ke ne fai pehē. Kapau ʻoku tau muimui ʻi he ngaahi sitailá, ʻe faingataʻa nai ai ki he kakaí ke sio mai ki he faikehekehe ʻi he vahaʻa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau tauhi ki he ʻOtua moʻoní mo e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻikai te nau tauhi kiate iá.—Mal. 3:18.
3. ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakapapauʻi ko hotau fōtungá ʻe fehoanaki ia mo e akonaki ʻoku maʻu ʻi he 1 Timote 2:9, 10?
3 Vala ʻOku Taau mo e Kau Faifekau Kalisitiané: ʻI he taimi naʻe tohi ai ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá ki he ʻovasia Kalisitiane ko Tīmoté, naʻá ne fakalototoʻaʻi ai ʻa e “kau fefine, ke nau teuʻaki kinautolu ʻa e kofu ʻoku ngali ke ʻai, pea ō mo e angamā mo e angafakamaʻumaʻu: . . . ka nau fai ke teungaʻia ʻi he ngaahi ngaue lelei, ʻa ia ko e meʻa ʻoku tāu mo e kau fefine ʻoku nau lavutu ke tauhi ki he ʻOtua.” (1 Tim. 2:9, 10) Ke fakapapauʻi ko hotau valá ʻoku leleí ʻoku fiemaʻu ki ai ʻa e fakakaukau lelei. Ko e valá ʻoku totonu ke taau, maʻa, mo fakanānā—ʻo ʻikai ke fakalālāfuaʻa, fakakakano, pe fakatēlefua.—1 Pita 3:3.
4, 5. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fakatokanga ʻoku totonu ke tokanga ki ai ʻa e kakai tangata mo e kakai fefine Kalisitiané?
4 Naʻe toe fakatokanga ʻa Tīmote ki he fuʻu tōtuʻa ʻi he “fafatu ʻo e louʻulu, pe ko e koula mo e mataʻitofe mo e kofu mahuʻinga.” (1 Tim. 2:9) Ko e palanisi ʻi hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e meʻa teuteú, meʻa vali matá, mo e ngaahi teuteu kehé ko ha ʻalunga fakapotopoto ia ki he kakai fefine Kalisitiané ke muimui ki ai.—Pal. 11:2.
5 Ko e akonaki naʻe fakahanga ʻe Paula ki he kakai fefine Kalisitiané ʻoku toe ngāueʻaki ʻa hono tefitoʻi moʻoní ki he kakai tangata Kalisitiané. Ko e fanga tokouá ʻoku totonu ke nau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he ngaahi sitaila ʻoku tapua atu mei ai ʻa e fakakaukau ʻa e māmaní. (1 Sione 2:16) Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻe niʻihi, ko e vala ngakōkoó mo e vala lalahí ʻoku manakoa ia ai, ko e sitaila ko ení ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻoatu ʻe ia ha fōtunga feʻungamālie ki ha faifekau ʻa e ʻOtuá.
6. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau tauhi maʻu ha tuʻunga māʻolunga ʻi hotau valá mo e teuteú ʻi he ʻalu mo e foki mei he fakataha-lahí, lolotonga ʻa e ʻi he fakataha-lahí, mo e hili ʻa e ngaahi konga ʻi he ʻaho taki taha?
6 Lolotonga ʻa e Ngaahi Ngāue ʻi he Taimi ʻAtaá: ʻI hono maʻu ʻa e polokalamá, ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e fanga tokouá mo e fanga tuofāfiné ʻoku nau fokotuʻu ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei ʻaupito ʻi he meʻa fekauʻaki mo e valá pea mo e teuteú. Kae kehe, ʻoku fakahaaʻi ʻi he ngaahi līpōtí ʻoku hoko ʻa e niʻihi ʻo taʻetokanga ʻi he taimi ʻo e ʻalu mo e foki mei he fakataha-lahí pe ʻi he kau ki he ngaahi ngāue ʻi he taimi ʻatā hili ʻa e polokalama ʻo e ʻahó. Ko e moʻoni, ko hotau fōtunga fakafoʻituituí—tatau ai pē ʻi he lolotonga ʻa e polokalamá pe ʻi he ngaahi taimi kehé—ʻokú ne tākiekina ʻa e anga ʻo e vakai mai ʻa e niʻihi kehé ki he kakai ʻa e ʻOtuá. Koeʻuhi ʻoku tau tui hotau ngaahi kaati fakaʻilonga fakataha-lahí, ʻoku totonu ke tau ʻai vala maʻu pē ʻi ha founga ʻa ia ʻoku taau mo e kau faifekau Kalisitiané. ʻOku faʻa ueʻi heni ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau fakamatala lelei fekauʻaki mo kitautolu pea fakaʻatā ai ke lava ʻo fai ha fakamoʻoni.—1 Kol. 10:31-33.
7. Ko e hā ʻa e ola ʻe lava ke hoko ki he niʻihi kehé ʻi hotau valá mo e teuteu leleí?
7 Hangē tofu pē ko hano fakaleleiʻi ʻe ha malimali anga-lelei ʻa e fōtunga ʻo hotau matá, ʻoku pehē pē ʻa e fakangeingeiaʻi ʻe he valá mo e teuteu leleí ʻa e pōpoaki ʻoku tau fatakí mo e kautaha ʻoku tau fakafofongaʻí. Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku nau mamata mai kia kitautolu lolotonga ʻa e ngaahi Fakataha-Lahi Fakavahe “ʻAve ki he ʻOtuá ʻa e Lāngilangí” ʻi he taʻu ní ʻe ueʻi nai ai kinautolu ke nau ʻeke ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻoku tau kehe aí pea ʻe faifai pē nai ʻo nau pehē: “Te tau o mo kimoutolu; he kuo mau fanongo [mo mamata] ʻoku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa e ʻOtua.” (Sak. 8:23) ʻOfa ke tau fakahāhā taki taha ʻetau ʻapasia kia Sihová ʻi hotau valá mo e teuteú.
