Neongo naʻe ʻikai mali ʻa Paula, naʻe ʻikai te ne hakeakiʻi ia ʻo laka he faʻahinga naʻe malí, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku fai ʻe he haʻa faifekau taʻemali ʻo e Puleʻanga-Haʻa-Kalisitiané. Ka, naʻe fakamamafaʻi ʻe he ʻapositoló ha lelei ʻoku maʻu ʻe he kau faifekau taʻemali tokolahi ʻo e ongoongo leleí. Ko e hā ʻa e lelei ko iá?

Naʻe maʻu ʻe Paula ha monū makehe ko ha “aposetolo ʻo e Senitaile.” (Loma 11:13) Lau e Ngāue vahe 13 ki he 20, pea muimui ʻiate ia mo hono kaungāmisinalé ʻi heʻenau fakaava e ngaahi feituʻu ngāue pea fokotuʻu e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga ʻi he feituʻu ki he feituʻu. ʻI heʻene ngāué, naʻe kātekina ai ʻe Paula e ngaahi faingataʻa ʻa ia ʻe fehangahangai mo e tokosiʻi pē he ʻahó ni. (2 Kol. 11:23-27, 32, 33) Ka naʻe hanga heʻene fiefia ʻi hono tokoniʻi ʻa e tokolahi ke hoko ko e kau ākongá ʻo ʻai e ngaahi faingataʻa ko iá ke ʻaonga.

7 Ko e kau Kalisitiane taʻemali tokolahi ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki honau ngaahi tuʻunga lolotongá ke lavaʻi e meʻa lahi koeʻuhi ko e Puleʻangá. Ko Sara mo Limbania, ko ha ongo tāimuʻa taʻemali ʻi Polivia, naʻá na hiki ki ha kolo ʻa ia naʻe teʻeki ke maʻu ai ʻe he kakaí ha fakamoʻoni ʻi he laui taʻu. ʻE hoko ʻa e ʻikai ha ʻuhilá ko ha palopalema?

8 Ko e moʻoni, ko e kau Kalisitiane malí kuo nau toe maʻu ʻa e ngaahi ola lelei ʻi hono malangaʻi e ongoongo leleí he ngaahi feituʻu faingataʻá. Ka ko e ngaahi vāhenga-ngāue ʻe niʻihi ʻoku ʻatā ki he kau tāimuʻa taʻemalí ʻoku fakamoʻoniʻi nai ʻoku faingataʻa ia ki he faʻahinga ʻoku malí pe faʻahinga ʻoku maʻu fānaú. Naʻe fakakaukau ʻa Paula fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ʻe ala lava naʻá ne fakatokangaʻi ʻi hono fakalahi atu e ongoongo leleí ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻo e ngaahi fakatahaʻanga fakalotofonuá. Naʻá ne loto ke maʻu ʻe he faʻahinga kotoa ʻa e fiefiá, hangē ko ia naʻá ne maʻú. ʻI he ʻuhinga ko iá, naʻá ne talanoa fiefia fekauʻaki mo e tauhi kia Sihova ʻi he tuʻunga ko ha tokotaha taʻemalí.
9 Naʻe tohi ha tuofefine tāimuʻa taʻemali mei he ʻIunaite Seteté: “ʻOku tui e kakai ʻe niʻihi ko e fiefiá ʻoku ʻikai ala maʻu ia ʻe he kau taʻemalí. Ka kuó u sio au ko e fiefia tuʻuloá ʻoku fakatuʻunga ia ʻi ha kaumeʻa ha taha mo Sihova. Ko e taʻemalí, neongo ko ha feilaulau, ko ha meʻaʻofa fakaofo ia kapau ʻokú ke ngāueʻaongaʻaki ia.” ʻI he fekauʻaki mo hono maʻu e fiefiá, naʻá ne tohi: “Ko e taʻemalí ʻe lava ke hoko ia ko ha kamataʻanga ki he fiefiá, ʻikai ko ha taʻofiʻanga. ʻOku ou ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai ke taʻofi ʻe Sihova ha taha, taʻemali pe mali, mei heʻene manavaʻofa lolotó.” ʻOkú ne ngāue fiefia he taimí ni ʻi ha fonua ʻoku lahi ange ai e fiemaʻu ki ha kau malanga ʻo e Puleʻangá. Kapau ʻokú ke taʻemali, ʻe lava ke ke ngāueʻaki hoʻo tauʻatāiná ke fakalahi hoʻo kau hono akoʻi ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e moʻoní? ʻOkú ke toe ʻilo nai foki mo koe ko e taʻemalí ko ha meʻaʻofa taʻehanotatau ia meia Sihova.

10, 11. ʻOku fēfē hono poupouʻi ʻe Sihova ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku nau fie mali ka kuo teʻeki ai maʻu ha hoa feʻungamālié?
