(Sāme 4:1, PM; Palovepi 2:20-22; Hapakuke 1:13) Ko ha taha pē ʻoku ngāue taʻemāʻoniʻoni ʻe ʻikai lava ke ne maʻu ha vahaʻangatae vāofi mo ia. (Palovepi 15:8) Ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻe naʻinaʻi ai ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá kia Tīmote: “Ko e ngaahi holi fakatalavou ke ke hola mei ai; ka ke tuli ki he maʻoniʻoni,” fakataha mo e ngaahi ʻulungāanga mātuʻaki mahuʻinga kehé. (2 Timote 2:22) Ko e toe ʻuhinga ia naʻe fakakau ai ʻe Paula “ʻa e kofutau ko e maʻoniʻoni” ʻi he taimi naʻá ne fakahokohoko ai ʻa e ngaahi konga kehekehe ʻo hotau teunga tau fakalaumālié.—Efeso 6:14.

Neongo ia, ʻoku ʻikai lava ke toitoi ʻa e kau Kalisitiané mei he māmaní. Lolotonga ʻa e ʻikai te nau hoko ko ha konga ʻo iá, kuo pau ke nau nofo ai.

Tau lāulea angé ki he tākiekina ʻe fā ʻi he ngaahi tākiekina ko iá.
