Naʻe moʻuaʻaki ʻe he tokotaha ia ko ē ha vahe hongofulu ʻo e meʻa ko iá—ʻoku siʻi hifo ia ʻi he vāhenga ki he māhina ʻe tolú. ʻI he ʻikai ha taha ʻo kinaua ʻe lava ke na totongi fakafokí, naʻe hanga ʻe he tokotaha tali-noó ʻo “fakamolemole fakatouʻosi” kinaua. ʻOku hā mahino, ko e tokotaha ko ia naʻe fakamolemoleʻi lahi angé naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e ʻuhinga lahi ange ke ne fai ha tali ʻi he ʻofá. ʻI he hili hono fakafehoanaki mo e ngāue anga-ʻofa ʻa e fefiné, naʻe tānaki atu ʻe Sīsū ʻa e tefitoʻi moʻoni: “Ko ia ʻoku siʻi ʻa e fakamolemole ki ai pea siʻi haʻana ʻofa.” Naʻá ne tala ange leva ki he fefiné: “Kuo fakamolemole hoʻo ngaahi angahala.”—Luke 7:36-48.

Naʻe fakamolemoleʻi koe ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá, ko ia—ʻoku fakaʻuhinga mālohi mai ʻa Paula—ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ke faʻifaʻitaki kiate Ia pea hoko ʻo ‘manavaʻofa, mo fakamolemoleʻi’ ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Kae ʻeke hifo kiate koe, ‘ʻOku ou fai ia? Kapau ʻoku ʻikai ko hoku natulá ia, ʻoku ou ngāue ki he ʻalunga ko iá, ʻo feinga moʻoni ke faʻifaʻitaki ki he ʻOtuá ʻi he hoko ʻo fakamolemolé?’
