10. Ko e hā naʻá ne tokoniʻi ʻa e tokolahi ke nau loto-toʻa mo hanganaki mateaki ki he ʻOtuá?

¹⁰ ʻI he Hepelū vahe 11, naʻe pehē ai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Naʻe maʻu mai ʻe ha kau fefine ʻenau kau maté fakafou ʻi he toetuʻú; ka naʻe fakamamahiʻi ha kau tangata kehe koeʻuhí naʻe ʻikai te nau tali ha tukuange fakafou ʻi ha faʻahinga totongi huhuʻi, koeʻuhí kae lava ke nau aʻusia ha toetuʻu lelei ange.” (Hep. 11:35) Naʻe kātekina ʻe he tokolahi ʻa e ngaahi ʻahiʻahí pea hanganaki mateaki ki he ʻOtuá koeʻuhí naʻe mālohi ʻenau tui ki he toetuʻu naʻe talaʻofa ʻe he ʻOtuá. Naʻa nau ʻiloʻi ʻe fakafoki mai kinautolu ʻe Sihova ki he moʻui ʻi he kahaʻú, pea te nau moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmaní. Fakakaukau kia Nēpote mo Sākalaia. Naʻe tolomakaʻi kinaua ʻo na mate koeʻuhí ko ʻena talangofua ki he ʻOtuá. (1 Tuʻi 21:3, 15; 2 Kal. 24:20, 21) Naʻe lī ʻa Taniela ki he ʻana ʻo e fanga laione fekaí, pea lī hono ngaahi kaumeʻá ki ha afi vela kakaha. Naʻa nau loto-lelei ke mate kehe pē ke ʻoua naʻa nau taʻemateaki kia Sihova. Naʻe tui mālohi ʻa e kau tangata ko ení ʻe ʻomai ʻe Sihova hono laumālie māʻoniʻoní pea tokoniʻi kinautolu ke nau kātekina ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa ko iá.​—Tān. 3:16-18, 20, 28; 6:13, 16, 21-23; Hep. 11:33, 34.

12. Ko hai ʻa e faʻifaʻitakiʻanga lelei taha ʻe lava ke tau faʻifaʻitaki ki aí? Ko e hā naʻá ne tokoniʻi ia ke ne kātaki ʻi he ngaahi ʻahiʻahí?

¹² Naʻe kātekina ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi ʻa e ʻahiʻahi faingataʻa tahá pea hanganaki mateaki kia Sihova. Ko e hā naʻá ne tokoniʻi ia ke ne kātakí? Naʻe pehē ʻe Paula: “He ko e meʻa ʻi he fiefia ko ia naʻe fokotuʻu ʻi muʻa ʻiate iá naʻá ne kātakiʻi ai ha ʻakau fakamamahi, ʻo tukunoaʻi hono fakamāʻí, pea kuó ne nofo hifo ʻi he nima toʻomataʻu ʻo e taloni ʻo e ʻOtuá.” (Hep. 12:2) Naʻe fakalototoʻaʻi leva ʻe Paula ʻa e kau Kalisitiané ke nau “fakakaukau fakalelei atu” ki he faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ʻa Sīsuú. (Lau ʻa e Hepelū 12:3.) Hangē ko Sīsuú, ko e kau Kalisitiane tokolahi ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí naʻa nau mate koeʻuhí naʻa nau mateaki kia Sihova. Ko e taha ʻi he faʻahinga ko ení ko ʻAnitipasa. (Fkh. 2:13) Kuo ʻosi maʻu ʻe he kau Kalisitiane ko iá honau palé, ʻo kehe ia mei he kau sevāniti ʻa e ʻOtuá ki muʻa ʻiate kinautolú ʻa ia naʻa nau fakatuʻotuʻa kinautolu ki he moʻui ʻi he māmaní. (Hep. 11:35) Hili atu ʻa e taimi mei he hoko ʻa Sīsū ko e Tuʻi ʻi he 1914, ko e kau Kalisitiane pani naʻe maté naʻa nau toetuʻu ki he moʻui taʻefaʻamate ʻi hēvani, pea te nau pule fakataha mai mo ia ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.​—Fkh. 20:4.
