“Pea ko e feinga ʻa e kakano ko e koto mate ia: ka ko e feinga ʻa e laumalie ko e koto moʻui mo melino.”—LOMA 8:6.
1. Ko e hā ʻa e taumuʻa naʻe fakatupu ai ʻa e tangatá?
“PEA naʻe fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻa e tangata ʻi he imisi oʻona, ʻio ʻi he imisi ʻo e ʻOtua naʻa ne fakatupu ia; naʻa ne fakatupu ʻakinaua ko e tangata mo e fefine.” (Sēnesi 1:27) Ko e ʻīmisí ko ha ʻata ia ʻo ha meʻa pe ko ha tupuʻanga. Ko ia, naʻe fakatupu ʻa e tangatá ke hoko ko e tapua atu ʻo e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻI hono fakahāhā ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga ʻo e ʻOtuá—ʻo hangē ko e ʻofa, anga-lelei, fakamaau totonu, mo e tuʻunga fakalaumālié—ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku nau fai, ʻoku hoko ai ʻa e fakalāngilangi mo e fakahīkihiki ki he Tokotaha Fakatupú, pea pehē ki he fiefia mo e fiemālie kiate kinautolu.—1 Kolinitō 11:7; 1 Pita 2:12.
2. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e ʻikai ke maʻu ʻe he ʻuluaki ongo meʻa fakaetangatá ʻa e fakaʻilongá?
2 Ko e ʻuluaki ongo meʻa fakaetangatá, naʻe fakatupu ʻi he haohaoa, pea naʻá na mateuteu lelei ki he ngāue ko ʻení. ʻI he hangē ko ha sioʻata teuteu kuo fakangingila ʻo maʻa ekiakí, naʻá na malava ke tapua loto-tōnunga mo lelei ʻaupito ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá. Kae kehe, naʻá na fakaʻatā ke fakanenefuʻi ʻa e tuʻunga maʻa ekiaki ko iá ʻi heʻena fili loto pē ki ai ke na talangataʻa ki hona Tokotaha Fakatupú ko e ʻOtuá. (Sēnesi 3:6) ʻI he hili iá, naʻe ʻikai leva te na kei malava ke tapua haohaoa ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá. Naʻe ʻikai te na kei aʻusia ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá, naʻá na mavahe mei he taumuʻa naʻe fakatupu ai kinaua ʻi he ʻīmisi ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko hono fakalea ʻe tahá, naʻá na fai angahala.a
3. Ko e hā ʻa e natula moʻoni ʻo e angahalá?

Ko e kotoa ʻo e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá, ko e ngaahi hako ʻo ʻĀtama mo ʻIvi, kuo fanauʻi kinautolu ʻi he tuʻunga kuo fakameleʻi mo taʻemaʻa, ʻo ʻikai ke aʻusia ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻamanekina ʻe he ʻOtuá meiate kinautolu ko ʻene fānaú. Ko e hā hono olá? ʻOku fakamatala ʻi he Tohi Tapú: “Bea koia, o hage nae hoko mai ae agahala ki mamani, moe mate mei he agahala, i he tagata be taha; bea nae behe ae hoko oe mate ki he kakai kotoabe, he kuo agahala kotoabe.”—Loma 5:12, PM; fakafehoanaki mo ʻAisea 64:6.

4 Ko e kakai tokolahi taha ʻi he ʻahó ni ʻoku ʻikai te nau fakakaukau hifo kiate kinautolu ko e kau taʻemaʻa, kuo fakameleʻi, pe angahalaʻia. Ko hono moʻoní, ko e angahalá, ko ha foʻi lea ia kuo pulia atu mei he lea ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe he kakai tokolahi taha. Te nau talanoa nai ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ngaahi hala, ngaahi meʻa taʻefakapotopoto, mo e ngaahi fakafuofuahala. Ka ko e angahalá ia? ʻIkai ʻaupito! Naʻa mo e faʻahinga ʻoku nau kei taukaveʻi ʻoku nau tui ki he ʻOtuá, “ko e ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne akoʻí kuo fokotuʻu ai ʻa e ngaahi foʻi fakakaukau pē ki he ʻulungāangá kae ʻikai ko ha tuʻutuʻuni ʻo e meʻa ʻoku halá mo e tonú, ko e ‘ngaahi fokotuʻu ʻe 10’ kae ʻikai ko e fekau ʻe 10,” ko e lau ia ʻa Alan Wolfe, ko ha palōfesa ki he anga ʻo e nofo ʻa e tangatá.
5 Ko e hā ʻa hono ola ʻo e faʻahinga fakakaukau peheé? Ko e fakaʻikaiʻi, pe ko e fakamatamatavalea mei he moʻoni ʻo e angahalá. Kuo hoko ʻi he meʻa ko ʻení ha toʻutangata ko ha kakai kuo nau fakakeheʻi kovi ʻaupito ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e tonú mo e halá, ʻoku nau ongoʻi tauʻatāina ke fokotuʻu ʻa ʻenau ngaahi tuʻunga pē ia ʻa kinautolu fekauʻaki mo e ʻulungāangá pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau tokaʻi ʻe kinautolu ia ha taha ʻi ha meʻa pē ʻoku nau fili ke fai.

7. Fakatatau ki he Tohi Tapú, ʻoku anga-fēfē ʻa hono uesia ʻe he angahalá ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá?
7 ʻI he kehekehe lahi ʻaupito mei he ngaahi meʻá ni hono kotoa, ʻoku fakahā mahino ʻi he Tohi Tapú: “He kuo fai angahala kotoa pe, pea ʻoku ʻikai te nau aʻusia ʻa e hōifua ʻa e ʻOtua.” (Loma 3:23) Naʻa mo e ʻaposetolo ko Paulá naʻá ne fakamoʻoniʻi: “Seuke, kuo u ʻilo, ko e meʻa kiate au, ʻa ia ko e pehe ki hoku kakano, ʻoku ʻikai ke fale ai ha lelei ʻe taha: he ʻoku tolotui mai ʻa e fie fai lelei, ka ko hono fai, ʻoku ʻikai. ʻIo, ko e lelei ʻoku ou fie fai ʻoku ʻikai te u fai; kaekehe, ko e kovi, ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai te u fie fai, ko ia ia ʻoku ou feia.” (Loma 7:18, 19) Naʻe ʻikai ke fakakaukau pē heni ʻa Paula ia ki he ngaahi meʻa fakatupu loto-mamahi ʻiate ia pē. Ka, koeʻuhi naʻá ne ʻiloʻi lelei ʻa e mamaʻo ange ʻa e ʻikai ke aʻusia ʻe he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá, naʻá ne ongoʻi ʻa e mamahi lahi ange ʻo e fetakai ʻa e angahalá ʻi he kakano angahalaʻiá. Naʻá ne fakahā: “ʻOiaue! siʻi toki malaʻia kita! ko hai tū te ne hamusi au mei sino ʻoku mei ai ʻa e mate ni?”—Loma 7:24.
8. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi fehuʻi ʻoku totonu ke tau ʻeke hifo kiate kitautolu pē? Ko e hā ʻa hono ʻuhingá?
8 Ko e hā ʻa hoʻo fakakaukau ki he meʻa ko ʻení? Te ke fakamoʻoniʻi nai ʻo pehē koeʻuhi ko e tukufakaholo koe meia ʻĀtama, ʻokú ke tatau pē mo e tokotaha kotoa pē ʻo taʻehaohaoa. Ka ʻoku anga-fēfē ʻa hono ueʻi ʻa hoʻo fakakaukaú mo e founga ʻo hono moʻuí ʻe he ʻilo ko iá? ʻOkú ke tali ia ko e meʻa moʻoni ia ʻo e moʻuí pea ke muimui ai ʻo fai pē ʻa e meʻa ʻoku pau ke hoko maí? Pe ʻokú ke fai ha feinga tuʻumaʻu ke tauʻi ʻa e fetakai ʻa e angahalá ʻi he kakano angahalaʻiá, ʻo feinga ke tapua mahino atu ʻa e lāngilangi ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻokú ke faí? ʻOku totonu ke tau taki taha fai ha tokanga fakamātoato ki he meʻa ko ʻení ʻi heʻetau vakai ki he lea ʻa Paulá: “He ko kinautolu ʻoku nau anga-fakakakano ʻoku nau toka ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻa e kakano; ka ko kinautolu ʻoku anga-fakalaumalie ʻoku nau toka he ngaahi meʻa ʻa e laumalie. Pea ko e feinga ʻa e kakano ko e koto mate ia: ka ko e feinga ʻa e laumalie ko e koto moʻui mo melino.”—Loma 8:5, 6.
Ko e Feinga ʻa e Kakanó
9. Ko e hā ʻa hono ʻuhinga ko e “feinga ʻa e kakano ko e koto mate ia”?
9 Ko e hā naʻe ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa Paula ʻi heʻene pehē “ko e feinga ʻa e kakano ko e koto mate ia”? Ko e tuʻunga lea ko e “kakano” ʻoku faʻa ngāueʻaki ʻi he Tohi Tapú ʻo ʻuhinga ki he tuʻunga taʻehaohaoa ʻo e tangatá, ‘fanauʻi ʻi he angahala’ koeʻuhi he ko e hako ʻo e tokotaha angatuʻu ko ʻĀtamá. (Sāme 51:5; Siope 14:4) Ko ia, naʻe enginakiʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ke ʻoua ʻe tuku ʻa ʻenau fakakaukaú ʻi he ngaahi hehema angahalaʻiá, ngaahi ongoʻi mo e ngaahi holi ʻa e kakano taʻehaohaoa mo angahalaʻiá. Pea ko e hā ke ʻoua aí? ʻI ha feituʻu ʻe taha kuo talamai ai ʻe Paula kiate kitautolu ʻa e ngaahi ngāue ʻa e kakanó pea kuó ne tānaki mai ʻa e fakatokanga: “Ko e kakai fai meʻa pehe, ʻe ʻikai hanau tofiʻa ʻi he puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtua.”—Kalētia 5:19-21.

10 Ka ʻikai ʻoku ʻi ai ha faikehekehe lahi ʻi he feinga ki ha meʻa mo hono fai ʻa e meʻa ko iá? Ko e moʻoni, ko e fakakaukau ʻo fekauʻaki mo ha meʻá ʻoku ʻikai ke faʻa iku maʻu pē ia ki hano fai ʻa e meʻa ko iá. Kae kehe, ko e feingá ʻoku mahulu atu ia mei ha fakakaukau pē ki ha meʻa. Ko e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe Paulá ko e phroʹne·ma, pea ʻoku ʻuhingá ko e “anga ʻo e fakakaukau, fakakaukau(-ʻaki), . . . taumuʻa, holi, feinga.” Ko ia ai, “ko e feinga ʻa e kakano” ʻoku ʻuhingá ko e puleʻi, maʻu, taki, mo angi ʻe he ngaahi holi ʻa e kakano angahalaʻiá.—1 Sione 2:16.
11. Naʻe anga-fēfē ʻa e tokanga ʻa Keini ki he feinga ʻa e kakanó, pea ko e hā hono olá?
11 ʻOku fakatātaaʻi lelei ʻa e ʻuhingá ʻi he ʻalunga naʻe fai ʻe Keiní. ʻI he tupu ʻa e meheká mo e ʻitá ʻi he loto ʻo Keiní, naʻe fakatokanga ki ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtuá: “Ko e ha ʻoku ke ʻita ai? pea ko e ha ʻoku mapelu ai ho mata? ʻIkai ʻe ai ha hanga hake, ʻo kapau ʻoku ke feinga ke lelei? pea ka ʻoku ʻikai te ke feinga ke lelei ʻoku ʻi he matapa ʻa angahala, ʻo tokotoaki mai: pea ʻoku toka ʻene holi kiate koe, ka ʻoku aʻau ke pule ki ai.” (Sēnesi 4:6, 7) Naʻe ʻi ai ʻa e fili ke fai ʻe Keini. Te ne “feinga ke lelei,” ʻa ia ko e ʻai ʻene fakakaukaú, taumuʻá, mo e holi ki ha meʻa ʻoku lelei? Pe te ne hokohoko atu ʻi he feinga ʻa e kakanó mo fakahanga ʻene fakakaukaú ki he ngaahi hehema kovi ʻoku toitoi ʻi hono lotó? ʻO hangē ko ia naʻe fakamatala ʻe Sihová, ko angahala “ʻoku ʻi he matapa,” ʻo talitali ke puna mai ʻo folo ʻa Keini ʻo kapau te ne fakaʻatā ia. ʻI he ʻikai te ne tauʻi mo ‘puleʻi’ ʻa ʻene holi fakaekakanó, naʻe fakaʻatā ia ʻe Keini ke ne puleʻi ia—ki ha ikuʻanga fakatuʻutāmaki.
12. Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke tau fai koeʻuhi ke ʻoua te tau fou “ʻi he ʻalunga ʻo Keini”?
12 ʻOku fēfē ʻa kitautolu ʻi he ʻaho ní? ʻOku ʻikai te tau loto ke fou ʻi he “ʻalunga ʻo Keini,” ʻo hangē ko e tangilaulau ʻa Siutasi ʻo fekauʻaki mo e faʻahinga ʻi he lotolotonga ʻo e kau Kalisitiane ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí.
