Tānaki atu ki aí, naʻe tāpuakiʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa Paula ʻaki ʻa e ngaahi vīsone mo e tufakanga ʻo e lea ʻi he ngaahi lea muli kehekehé. (1 Kolinito 14:18; 2 Kolinito 12:​1-5) Naʻá ne toe fakamānavaʻi ʻa Paula ke ne tohi ʻa e ngaahi tohi ʻe 14 ʻa ia ko e konga kinautolu he taimí ni ʻo e Ngaahi Konga Tohitapu Faka-Kalisi Kalisitiané. ʻOku hā mahino, ʻoku lava ke pehē naʻe mahulu atu ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻa Paulá ia ʻi he kotoa ʻo e kau ʻapositolo kehé.—1 Kolinito 15:10.

 5. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Paula naʻá ne maʻu ha fakakaukau anga-fakanānā kiate ia tonu?

⁵ Koeʻuhi ko Paula naʻe muʻomuʻa ʻi he ngāue faka-Kalisitiané, ʻoku ʻamanaki nai ai ʻa e niʻihi ke ʻiloʻi ia ʻoku fakahaaʻi ko e fakamaʻungaʻanga ʻo e tokangá, naʻa mo hono futaʻaki hono mafaí. Kae kehe, naʻe ʻikai ke pehē ia, he naʻe anga-fakanānā ʻa Paula ia. Naʻá ne ui ia tonu ko e “siʻi taha ʻi he kau Aposetolo,” ʻo tānaki atu: “ʻOku ʻikai te u tāu ke ui ko e aposetolo, koeʻuhiā naʻa ku fakatangaʻi ʻa e siasi ʻo e ʻOtua.” (1 Kolinito 15:9) ʻI hono tuʻunga ko ha tokotaha fakatangaʻi ki muʻa ʻo e kau Kalisitiané, naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito ke ngalo ʻia Paula ko e ʻofa maʻataʻataá pē naʻe malava ai ke ne maʻu ha vahaʻangatae mo e ʻOtuá, ʻo fiefia ai ʻi he ngaahi monū makehe ʻo e ngāué. (Sione 6:44; Efeso 2:8) Ko ia ai, naʻe ʻikai ke ongoʻi ʻe Paula naʻe hanga ʻe heʻene ngaahi lavameʻa mahulu atu ʻi he ngāue fakafaifekaú ʻo ʻai ia ke ne māʻolunga ange ai ʻi he niʻihi kehé.—1 Kolinito 9:16.

 6. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahāhā ʻe Paula ʻa e anga-fakanānaá ʻi heʻene ngaahi feangainga mo e kau Kolinitoó?

⁶ Naʻe tautefito ʻa e hā mahino ʻa e anga-fakanānā ʻa Paulá ʻi heʻene ngaahi feangainga mo e kau Kolinitoó. ʻOku ngalingali, ko e niʻihi ʻo kinautolu naʻa nau mamana ʻaki ʻa e faʻahinga naʻa nau fakakaukau ko e kau ʻovasia tuʻu-ki-muʻá, ʻo kau ai ʻa ʻApolosi, Kīfasi, mo Paula tonu. (1 Kolinito 1:​11-15) Ka naʻe ʻikai ke koleʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e fakahīkihiki ʻa e kau Kolinitoó pe kai melie ʻi heʻenau fakavīkivikí. ʻI heʻene ʻaʻahi kiate kinautolú, naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻai ʻa ia tonu “i he malie oe lea, be i he boto.” ʻI hono kehé, naʻe pehē ʻe Paula ʻo fekauʻaki mo ia pea mo hono kaungā fonongá: “Ko eni ʻa e lau ke fai ʻe he kakai kiate kimautolu, Ko e kau Tokoni pe ʻo Kalaisi, pea ko e kau Setuata ʻo e ngaahi misiteli ʻo e ʻOtua.”a—1 Kolinito 2:​1-5, PM; 4:1.

 7. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakahaaʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e anga-fakanānaá naʻa mo e taimi ʻo ʻene fai ʻa e akonakí?

⁷ Naʻe aʻu ʻo fakahāhaaʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e anga-fakanānaá ʻi he taimi naʻe pau ke ne fai ai ha akonaki fefeka mo e fakahinohinó. Naʻá ne kōlenga ki hono kaungā Kalisitiané “ʻi he funga ʻo e ngaahi fai manavaʻofa ʻa e ʻOtua” pea “tuʻunga ʻi he ʻofa” kae ʻikai ʻi he mamafa ʻo hono tuʻunga mafai fakaʻapositoló. (Loma 12:​1, 2; Filimone 8, 9) Ko e hā naʻe fai ai ʻe Paula ʻa e meʻá ni? Koeʻuhi naʻá ne vakai moʻoni kiate ia ko ha “kaungāngāue” ʻo hono fanga tokouá, ʻikai ko ha ‘pule ki heʻenau tuí.’ (2 Kolinito 1:​24, NW) ʻOku ʻikai ha veiveiua ko e anga-fakanānā ʻa Paulá naʻe tokoni ki hono ʻai ia ke tautefito hono ʻofeina ʻe he ngaahi fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiane ʻo e ʻuluaki senitulí.—Ngāue 20:​36-38.

⁸ Naʻe fokotuʻu ʻe Paula ha faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei maʻá e kau Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻaho ní. Tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fatongia kuo tuku mai kiate kitautolú, ʻoku ʻikai totonu ki ha taha ʻo kitautolu ke ne ongoʻi ʻoku tau māʻolunga ange ʻi he niʻihi kehé. “Kabau oku mahalo e ha taha ko ha mea ia, ka oku ikai,” ko e tohi ia ʻa Paulá, “oku ne kākāʻi eia ia.” (Kaletia 6:​3, PM) Ko e hā hono ʻuhingá? Koeʻuhi “kuo fai angahala kotoa pe, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau aʻusia ʻa e hōifua ʻa e ʻOtua.” (Loma 3:23; 5:12) ʻIo, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito totonu ke ngalo ʻiate kitautolu ko kitautolu kotoa ʻoku tau maʻu tukufakaholo ʻa e angahalá mo e maté meia ʻĀtama. ʻOku ʻikai ke hanga ʻe he ngaahi monū makehé ʻo hiki hake kitautolu mei hotau tuʻunga angahalaʻia māʻulaló. (Koheleti 9:2 [Tagata Malaga, PM]) Hangē pē ko ia naʻe hoko moʻoni ʻi he tuʻunga ʻo Paulá, ko e ʻofa maʻataʻataá pē ʻoku malava ai ke hoko ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ki ha vahaʻangatae mo e ʻOtuá, ʻo tauhi kiate ia ʻi ha ngaahi malava kuo fakamonūʻiaʻiʻaki.—Loma 3:​12, 24.

⁹ ʻI he lāuʻilo ki he meʻá ni, ko ha taha ʻoku anga-fakanānā ʻoku ʻikai te ne hākahaka ʻi hono ngaahi monuú pe pōlepole ʻi heʻene ngaahi lavameʻá. (1 Kolinito 4:7) ʻI he taimi ʻokú ne fai ai ha akonaki pe fakahinohino, ʻokú ne fai ia ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha kaungāngāue—ʻikai ko ha pule. Ko hono moʻoní, ʻe hala ki ha taha ʻokú ne mahulu hake ʻi ha ngaahi ngafa pau ke ne koleʻi ʻa e fakahīkihikí pe kai melie mei he fakavīkiviki ʻa e ngaahi kaungātuí. (Palovepi 25:27; Mātiu 6:​2-4) Ko e fakahīkihiki pē ʻoku ʻi ai hono mahuʻingá ʻoku haʻu mei he niʻihi kehé—pea ʻoku totonu ke haʻu taʻekoleʻi mai ia. Kapau ʻe haʻu, ʻoku totonu ke ʻoua te tau ʻai ia ke ne fakatupunga kitautolu ke tau fakakaukau ʻo lahi ange ai kiate kitautolu ʻi he tuʻunga totonú.—Palovepi 27:2; Loma 12:3.

10. Fakamatalaʻi ʻa e founga ʻoku hoko moʻoni nai ai ʻa e niʻihi ʻoku hā ngali māʻulaló ʻo “koloaʻia ʻi he tui.”

¹⁰ ʻI he taimi ʻoku tuku mai ai kiate kitautolu ha tuʻunga ʻo e fatongiá, ʻe tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he anga-fakanānaá ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei hano ʻai ha fakamamafa taʻetotonu kiate kitautolu, ʻo fakatupunga ai ha ongoʻi ʻo pehē ʻoku lakalakaimonū pē ʻa e fakatahaʻangá koeʻuhi ko ʻetau ngaahi feingá mo ʻetau ngaahi malavá. Ko e fakatātaá, mahalo ʻoku fakatufakangaʻaki kitautolu ʻo tautautefito ki he faiakó. (Efeso 4:​11, 12) Kae kehe, ʻi he anga-fakanānaá, kuo pau ke tau fakatokangaʻi ko e niʻihi ʻo e ngaahi lēsoni lalahi taha ʻoku ako ʻi ha fakataha ʻa e fakatahaʻangá ʻoku ʻikai ke fai ia mei he peletifōmú.

Ko e ngaahi ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻo e mateaki-angatonú ʻoku nau fehangahangai mo iá ʻoku meimei taʻefakatokangaʻi ia ʻe he niʻihi kehé. Ka, ʻoku nau hoko nai ʻo “koloaʻia ʻi he tui” ʻo hangē ko e faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau tuʻu-ki-muʻa angé.

Naʻá ne fakahāhā ʻa e ongoʻi mo e manavaʻofa pea fakakaukau atu ki heʻenau ngaahi fiemaʻu fakaetangatá. (Mātiu 15:32; 26:​40, 41; Maake 6:31) Ko ia, neongo naʻe haohaoa ʻa Sīsū, naʻe ʻikai ko ha tokotaha anga-fakahaohaoa ia. Naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne kouna mei heʻene kau ākongá ha meʻa lahi ange ia mei heʻenau malava ke foakí, pea naʻe ʻikai ʻaupito te ne hilifaki kiate kinautolu ha meʻa lahi ange ia mei heʻenau malava ke fuá. (Sione 16:12) Tā neʻineʻi ʻilo ia ʻe he tokolahi fau ʻokú ne fakaivifoʻou!—Mātiu 11:29.

Faʻifaʻitaki ki he Faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsū ʻi he Anga-Fakanānaá

18, 19. ʻE malava fēfē ke tau faʻifaʻitaki ki he anga-fakanānā ʻa Sīsuú ʻi he (a) founga ʻo ʻetau fakakaukau kiate kitautolú, pea mo e (e) founga ʻo ʻetau fakafeangai ki he niʻihi kehé?

¹⁸ Kapau naʻe fakahāhaaʻi ʻe he moʻungaʻi tangata lahi taha kuo moʻui maí ʻa e anga-fakanānaá, huanoa hake ai ʻa e totonu ke tau fai peheé. ʻOku faʻa taʻeloto ʻa e faʻahinga taʻehaohaoa ʻo e tangatá ke nau fakahaaʻi ʻoku ʻikai te nau maʻu ha tuʻunga mafai fakaʻaufuli. Kae kehe, ʻi he faʻifaʻitaki kia Sīsuú, ʻoku feinga ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ke nau anga-fakanānā. ʻOku ʻikai te nau fuʻu loto-mahikihiki ki hano ʻoatu ʻa e fatongiá ki he faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku nau taau ke maʻu iá, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau anga-hiki mo taʻeloto ke tali ʻa e fakahinohino mei he faʻahinga ko ia ʻoku fakamafaiʻi ke nau fai iá. ʻI hono fakahāhā ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ngāue fakatahá, ʻoku nau fakaʻatā ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē ʻi he fakatahaʻangá ke hoko ʻo “tāu mo māu.”—1 Kolinito 14:40.

¹⁹ ʻE toe ueʻi kitautolu ʻe he anga-fakanānaá ke tau fakakaukau lelei ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku tau ʻamanekina mei he niʻihi kehé pea hoko ʻo fakaʻatuʻi fekauʻaki mo ʻenau ngaahi fiemaʻú. (Filipai 4:5) ʻOku tau maʻu nai ha ngaahi malava mo e ngaahi mālohi pau ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ia ʻe he niʻihi kehé. Kae kehe, kapau ʻoku tau anga-fakanānā, heʻikai ke tau ʻamanekina maʻu pē ʻa e niʻihi kehé ke nau ngāue ʻo hangē ko ia te tau loto ke nau faí. ʻI hono ʻiloʻi ko e tokotaha taki taha ʻoku ʻi ai hono ngaahi ngataʻangá, te tau fakaʻatā ha tuʻunga ʻi he anga-fakanānaá ki he ngaahi tōnounou ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Naʻe tohi ʻe Pita: “Sinoemeʻa ke mou tauhi ai pe hoʻomou feʻofaʻaki ke tukuingata pe: he ko e ʻofa ʻoku ne ʻufiʻufi ha fufuʻunga angahala.”—1 Pita 4:8.

20. Ko e hā ʻoku malava ke tau fai ke ikuʻi ʻaki ha faʻahinga hehema pē ki he taʻeangafakanānaá?

²⁰ Hangē ko ia kuo tau ako ki aí, ko e moʻoni ko e potó ʻoku ʻi he faʻahinga anga-fakanānaá ia. Kae fēfē, kapau ʻokú ke ʻiloʻi ʻe koe ʻokú ke maʻu ʻa e ngaahi hehema ki he taʻeangafakanānaá pe ʻafungí? ʻOua ʻe loto-siʻi. ʻI hono kehé, muimui ʻi he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Tēvitá, ʻa ia naʻá ne lotu: “Taʻofi ʻa hoʻo sevānití mei he ngaahi tōʻonga ʻafungí; ʻoua te ke tuku kinautolu ke nau puleʻi au.” (Sāme 19:​13, NW) ʻI he faʻifaʻitaki ki he tui ʻa e kau tangata hangē ko Paula, Kitione, pea—mahulu hake he tokotaha kotoa—ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí, te tau hoko fakafoʻituitui ai ʻo aʻusia ʻa e moʻoni ʻo e ngaahi lea: “Ko e potó ʻoku ʻi he faʻahinga anga-fakanānaá ia.”—Palovepi 11:​2, NW.
