7. Ko e hā ʻa e akonaki naʻe fai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá fekauʻaki mo ʻetau vakai ki he kau ʻovasia Kalisitiané?

⁷ Ko hotau ongo Tauhi-Sipi fakahēvaní, ʻa Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mo Sīsū Kalaisi, ʻokú na ʻamanekina mai ke tau talangofua mo fakamoʻulaloa ki he kau tauhi-sipi tokoni kuó na fokotuʻu ʻi he ngaahi tuʻunga fua fatongia ʻi he fakatahaʻangá. (1 Pita 5:5) ʻI he malumalu ʻo hono fakamānavaʻí, naʻe tohi ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá: “Manatuʻi a ho mou kau fakahinohino, akinautolu nae lea aki ae folofola ae Otua kiate kimoutolu, bea faifaitaki ki he e nau tui, o fakatokaga ki he gataaga oe nau ulugaaga. Mou talagofua kiate kinautolu oku fakahinohino akimoutolu, bea mou fakavaivai [pe fakamoʻulaloa]: he oku nau leohi ho mou laumalie, he te nau fakamatala ki ai, bea koeuhi ke nau fai ia i he fiefia, kae oua naa i he mamahi: he oku taeaoga ia kiate kimoutolu.”—Hepelu 13:​7, 17, PM.

 8. Ko e hā ʻoku fakaafeʻi mai ʻe Paula ke tau “fakatokaga” ki aí, pea ʻoku totonu ke fēfē ʻetau “talagofua”?

⁸ Fakatokangaʻi ʻoku fakaafeʻi mai ʻe Paula ke tau “fakatokaga,” pe fakakaukau lelei ki he ola ʻo e ʻulungāanga faitōnunga ʻa e kau mātuʻá pea ke muimui ʻi he ngaahi faʻifaʻitakiʻanga ko ia ʻo ʻenau tuí. ʻIkai ko ia pē, ʻokú ne akonaki mai ke tau talangofua mo fakamoʻulaloa ki he tataki ʻa e kau tangata ko eni kuo fakanofó. Ko e mataotao Tohi Tapu ko R. T. France ʻokú ne fakamatala ʻo pehē ʻi he muʻaki lea faka-Kalisí, ko e foʻi lea ʻoku liliu heni ko e “talagofua” ʻoku ʻikai “ko e foʻi lea anga-maheni ia ki he talangofuá, ka ʻi he fakafoʻileá ko e ‘fakalotoʻi,’ ʻo fakahuʻunga ai hano tali loto-lelei ʻa ʻenau tatakí.” ʻOku tau talangofua ki he kau mātuʻá koeʻuhi ʻoku ʻikai ngata pē ʻi hono fakahinohinoʻi kitautolu ʻi he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá ke tau fai pehē ka koeʻuhí foki ʻoku fakalotoʻi kitautolu ke tau tui ʻoku nau fiemaʻu ʻa e lelei tahá ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻo e Puleʻangá pea kia kitautolu. Te tau fiefia moʻoni kapau te tau tali loto-lelei ʻenau tatakí.

 9. Ko e hā ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ke tau “fakavaivai” pe fakamoʻulaloa ʻo tānaki atu ki he talangofuá?

⁹ Kae kehe, fēfē kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke tau tuipau ko e fakahinohino ʻi ha tuʻunga pau ʻa e kau mātuʻá ʻa e founga lelei taha ki hono fai ʻo e ngaahi meʻá? Ko e taimi ia ʻoku fiemaʻu ai ʻa e fakamoʻulaloá. ʻOku faingofua ke talangofua ʻi he taimi ʻoku māʻalaʻala ai ʻa e meʻa kotoa pē pea tau loto-tatau mo iá, ka te tau fakahaaʻi ʻoku tau fakamoʻulaloa moʻoní ʻo kapau ʻoku tau ʻulutukua ʻo aʻu ki he taimi ʻoku ʻikai ke tau mahinoʻi fakafoʻituitui ai ʻa e fakahinohino ʻoku ʻomaí. Ko Pita ʻa ia naʻe hoko ki mui ko ha ʻapositoló, naʻá ne fakahāhā ʻa e faʻahinga moʻulaloa ko ení.​—Luke 5:​4, 5.

12. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e hanga ʻe he kau ʻovasiá ʻo ‘leohi hotau laumalié’?

¹² Ko ha ʻuhinga hono ua ki he ngāue fāitaha mo e kau ʻovasia Kalisitiané he ‘oku nau leohi hotau laumalié.’ Kapau ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ha meʻa ʻi heʻetau fakakaukaú pe tōʻongá ʻe fakatuʻutāmaki nai ki hotau tuʻunga fakalaumālié, ʻoku nau ʻomai leva ʻa e akonaki ʻoku fiemaʻú fakataha mo ha taumuʻa ke fakatonutonu kitautolu. (Kaletia 6:1) Ko e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi ʻoku liliu ko e “leohi” ʻoku ʻuhinga fakafoʻileá ko e “fakaʻehiʻehi mei he mohé.” Fakatatau ki he lau ʻa e mataotao Tohi Tapu ʻe taha, ʻoku “fakahuʻunga ai ʻa e ʻā taʻehela ʻa e tauhi-sipí.” ʻI he tānaki atu ki heʻenau hokohoko ʻā fakalaumālié, ʻe aʻu nai ʻo taʻemamohe ʻa e kau mātuʻá ʻi heʻenau tokanga ki heʻetau lelei fakalaumālié. ʻIkai ʻoku totonu ke tau ngāue fāitaha loto-lelei mo e kau tauhi-sipi tokoni ʻofa pehē, ʻa ia ʻoku nau fai ʻenau lelei tahá ke faʻifaʻitaki ki he tokanga fakaalaala ʻoku fai ʻe Sīsū Kalaisi, “koe Tauhi lahi oe faga sibi”?—Hepelu 13:​20, PM.

13. Kia hai pea ʻi he ngaahi founga fē ʻe fai ai ha fakamatala ʻe he kau ʻovasiá mo e kau Kalisitiane kotoa pē?

¹³ Ko ha ʻuhinga hono tolu ki heʻetau ngāue fāitaha loto-lelei mo e kau ʻovasiá ko ʻenau hanganaki leʻohi kitautolú “he te nau fakamatala ki ai.” ʻOku manatuʻi ʻe he kau ʻovasiá ko e kau tauhi-sipi tokoni kinautolu, ʻoku nau ngāue ʻi he malumalu ʻo e ongo Tauhi-Sipi fakahēvani, ko Sihova ko e ʻOtuá mo Sīsū Kalaisi. (Isikeli 34:​22-​24) Ko Sihova ʻoku ʻAʻana ʻa e fanga sipí, ʻa ia “naʻá ne fakatau ʻaki ʻa e taʻataʻa ʻo hono ʻAló tonu,” pea ʻe fai kiate Ia ʻe he kau ʻovasia kuo fakanofó ʻa e fakamatala ki he anga ʻo ʻenau tōʻongafai ki Heʻene tākangá, ʻa ia ʻoku totonu ke fai ʻi he “fakaalaala.” (Ngāue 20:​28, 29, NW) Ko ia ai, ko kitautolu kotoa te tau fai ha fakamatala kia Sihova ʻi he anga ʻo ʻetau tali ki heʻene tatakí. (Loma 14:​10-​12) Ko ʻetau talangofua ki he kau mātuʻa kuo fakanofó ʻoku toe ʻoatu ai ʻa e fakamoʻoni ʻo ʻetau fakamoʻulaloa kia Kalaisi, ko e ʻUlu ʻo e fakatahaʻangá.—Kolose 2:​19.

14. Ko e hā ʻe lava ke taki atu ki he ngāue “i he mamahi” ʻa e kau ʻovasia Kalisitiané, pea ko e hā hono ngaahi olá?

¹⁴ Naʻe ʻomai ʻe Paula ha ʻuhinga hono fā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau fakamoʻulaloa fakatōkilalo ki he kau ʻovasia Kalisitiané. Naʻá ne tohi: “Ke nau fai ia i he fiefia, kae oua naa i he mamahi: he oku taeaoga ia kiate kimoutolu.” (Hepelu 13:​17, PM) ʻI honau ngaahi fatongia mafatukituki ʻo e faiakó, tauhí, takimuʻa ʻi he ngāue fakamalangá, tauhi honau ngaahi fāmilí, pea mo hono fakaleleiʻi ʻa e ngaahi palopalema ʻi he fakatahaʻangá, ʻoku fua ai ʻe he kau mātuʻa Kalisitiané ha kavenga mamafa. (2 Kolinito 11:​28, 29) Kapau ʻoku ʻikai lava ke tau ngāue fāitaha mo kinautolu, ʻoku tau ʻai pē ai ke mamafa ange ʻa ʻenau kavengá. ʻE iku ʻa e meʻá ni ki heʻenau “mamahi” pe toʻe. Ko ʻetau fakahaaʻi ha laumālie taʻefiengāue fāitahá ʻoku taʻefakahōifua kia Sihova pea ʻe lava ke hoko ʻo taʻeʻaonga ia kia kitautolu. ʻI hono kehé, ʻi he taimi ʻoku tau fakahāhā ai ʻa e fakaʻapaʻapa mo e ngāue fāitaha totonú, ʻe lava ke fua ai ʻe he kau mātuʻá honau ngaahi fatongiá ʻi he fiefia, pea ʻoku tokoni eni ki he fāʻūtaha mo e kau fiefia ʻi he ngāue ko hono malangaʻi ʻo e Puleʻangá.—Loma 15:​5, 6.
