Ko hono moʻoní, ko ha meʻa ʻaonga lahi ʻa e ʻatamai leleí.

Pe ko ʻetau fakatupulekina nai ha vakai fakaʻatamai pē ki he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá mo e ngaahi tohi ako makatuʻunga ʻi he Tohitapú.
ʻOku eʻa nai ʻa e falala tōtuʻá ʻi he ngaahi founga kehekehe. Ko e fakatātaá, ʻi hono maʻu ʻe ha tokotaha ʻatamai lelei ha konga ke malanga ai ʻi he fakatahaʻanga Kalisitiané, mahalo ko ha malanga maʻá e kakaí pe ko ha malanga ʻi he Ako Fakafaifekau Fakateokalatí, ʻokú ne tuku nai ʻa e teuteú ki he mōmeniti fakaʻosí, naʻa mo e ʻikai nai te ne lotu ʻo kole ʻa e tāpuaki ʻa Sihová.

He toki tufakanga lelei ē kuo mole noa pē!—Palovepi 3:5, 6; Semisi 3:1.
Ko ha taha ʻoku ʻatamai māsila ʻokú ne toe fai ha vakai fakaʻatamai pē nai ki he Tohitapú mo e ngaahi tokoni ako Tohitapú. Kae kehe, ko e ʻilo peheé ʻoku “fieongoongo” pē, pe fakalahiʻi ʻa e fakamahuʻingaʻi-kitá ʻo hangē ha foʻi pulá; ʻoku ʻikai te ne ‘langa hake’ ha ngaahi vahaʻangatae anga-ʻofa faka-Kalisitiane. (1 Kolinito 8:1; Kaletia 5:26) ʻI he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ko e tangata fakalaumālié, neongo ʻa ʻene ngaahi malava fakaefakakaukaú, ʻokú ne lotu maʻu pē ʻo kole mo falala ki he laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. ʻOku hoko lahi ange ai ʻa hono mālohí ʻo ʻaonga lahi ʻi heʻene tupulaki ʻi he ʻofá, anga-fakatōkilaló, ʻiló, mo e potó—pea ʻoku hoko kotoa ʻeni ʻi he founga mafamafatatau lelei.—Kolose 1:9, 10.
ʻE toe hoko foki ʻa e malavá ko ha vaivaiʻanga kapau ʻoku fakafou ai haʻatau fakatupulekina ha fakakaukau hīkisia kiate kitautolu, ʻo fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e ʻikai ha anga-fakanānaá. ʻOku fakamatala ʻe he 1974 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses ʻo fekauʻaki mo ha tokoua ʻi ha kemi fakamamahi ʻi Siamane ʻa ia naʻá ne maʻu ha manatu makehe. “ʻUluakí, ko ʻene malava ko ia ke manatuʻi pea ke vahevahe atu ki he niʻihi kehé ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻá ne akó naʻe hoko ia ko ha matavai ʻo e fakalototoʻá ki he fanga tokouá. Ka ʻi he faai atu ʻa e taimí, naʻá ne hoko ai ko ha ʻaitoli, ‘ko e meʻa fakaofo ʻa Buchenwald,’ pea ko ʻene ngaahi fakamatalá, naʻa mo ʻene fakakaukau fakafoʻituituí, naʻe vakai ki ai ko e aofangatukú ia.” Pea ko e faʻahinga ko ia naʻe ʻikai te nau loto-tatau mo iá naʻe vakai ia ki ai ko e ngaahi fili, neongo naʻa nau ʻi he pilīsoné ko ʻenau mateaki kia Sihová!
ʻOku hā mahino, ko e tokotaha maʻu tufakangá ni—mo e faʻahinga naʻa nau ʻaitoli ʻaki iá—naʻe ngalo ʻiate kinautolu ko Sihová “ʻoku ʻikai te ne tokaʻi ʻa kinautolu ʻoku nau poto ʻi he loto pē ʻo kinautolú,” neongo ko honau tufakanga nai. ((Siope 37:24, NW) “Ko e angavaivai ʻoku ai ʻene poto,” ko e lau ia ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. (Palovepi 11:2) Ko e ʻapositolo ko Paulá, neongo ʻa e māʻolunga ʻo hono potó mo ʻene ako leleí, naʻá ne pehē ki he kau Kolinitoó: “Kainga, ʻi heʻeku ʻalu atu aʻaku ke malangaʻaki ʻa e ngaue ʻa e ʻOtua, naʻe ʻikai tuʻunga ʻeku ʻalu ko e pehe ʻoku ʻi ai haʻaku tokateline, pe poto, ʻoku fisifisimuʻa . . . ʻi heʻeku feangai aʻaku mo kimoutolu, naʻa ku vaivai mo manavasiʻi, pea lahi ʻeku tailiili. Pea ko ʻeku akonaki, kaeʻumaʻā ʻeku malanga, naʻe ʻikai faiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea fakaoleole ʻo e poto; ka naʻe faiʻaki ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻe he Laumalie mo e Māfimafi: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa tuʻu hoʻomou lotu ʻi he poto ʻo e tangata, ka ʻi he māfimafi ʻo e ʻOtua.”—1 Kolinito 2:1-5.
Ko e tokotaha poto moʻoní ʻoku ʻikai kākaaʻi ia ʻe he anga ʻo e vakai ʻa e māmaní ki he poto fakaʻatamaí, pe ko e tuʻunga ʻo e lavameʻá. Ko ia, ʻi he ʻikai ke ngāueʻaki hono ngaahi talēnití ke maʻu mai ʻa e ngaahi leleiʻia ʻa e tangatá, pe ko hono tānaki mai ke fokoleta ʻa e ngaahi koloa fakamāmaní, ʻokú ne foaki ʻene lelei tahá ki he Tokotaha naʻá ne foaki ange kiate ia ʻa e moʻuí mo e ngaahi malavá. (1 Sione 2:15-17) ʻI he ʻuhinga ko iá, ʻokú ne hanganaki fakamuʻomuʻa ʻi heʻene moʻuí ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻo e Puleʻangá, ʻo hoko ai ʻo fua lahi hangē ha “ʻakau kuo to ki he ngaahi mangaʻi vai.” Fakamālō ki he tāpuaki ʻa Sihová, ʻikai ki hono ngaahi talēniti fakaenatula ʻoʻoná, “neongo pe ko e ha ʻoku ne fai ʻoku ne monuʻia [“lavameʻa,” NW] pe.”—Sāme 1:1-3; Mātiu 6:33.

ʻI hono natulá tonu, ʻoku hulu fau ʻa e lotu faka-Kalisitiané ʻi he ngaahi mālohinga ʻa ia ʻoku ngāvaivai ʻa e ngaahi filōsofia fakamāmaní ia ʻi hono fakahoa atu ki aí.

(Kolose 3:18-23) Tānaki atu ki ai, ko e akoʻi faka-Kalisitiane ʻi he leá mo e faiakó ʻoku langaʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi pōtoʻi fakaefetuʻutaki lelei. (1 Timote 4:13-15) Ko ia ai, ʻoku ʻikai ha ofo, ʻi hono faʻa fiemaʻua ʻo e kau Kalisitiané ia ʻe honau kau pule ngāué ki hono toe tānaki atu ʻa e ngaahi fatongiá mo e ngaahi hiki lakangá. Ka ʻoku lava foki ke ngāuekoviʻaki ʻa e ngaahi mālohinga peheé kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke tokangaʻi lelei. ʻE iku nai ha hiki lakanga pe ko ha ngāue fakatauele ʻoku tuʻuaki mai ʻo meimei līʻoa ai ia ki he kautahá, ʻo liʻaki maʻu pē ai ʻa e ngaahi fakataha faka-Kalisitiané, pe feilaulauʻi ai ʻa e taimi mahuʻinga ia ki hoto fāmilí.
Ko ha tokotaha mātuʻa Kalisitiane pea ko e tangata maʻu fāmili ʻi ʻAositelēlia, ʻa ia naʻá ne toe hoko ko ha tangata pisinisi lavameʻa lahi, “naʻá ne maʻu ʻa e malava ke ne maʻu ʻa e māmaní kotoa,” ʻo hangē ko ia ʻoku lave ki ai ʻa e fakamatalá.

Hanganaki “ʻoua naʻa taki taha tokanga ki heʻene meʻa aʻana pe, ka ki he meʻa ʻa e kakai kehe foki,” ko e tohi ia ʻa e ʻapositolo ko Paulá.
