“Ke ʻoua naʻa ai ha mavahevahe ʻi he sino; ka ke tatau ʻa e fetokangaʻaki ʻa e ngaahi kupu.”—1 KOL. 12:25.
1. Naʻe anga-fēfē hoʻo ongoʻí ʻi he taimi naʻá ke ʻuluaki hū ai ki he palataisi fakalaumālié?

Ka, ko e vakai ia ʻa Sihová ʻoku fakafou ia ʻi ha lauʻi sioʻata fālahi, ʻa ia ʻoku lava ke ne maʻu kotoa ʻa e ʻatá fakataha mo hono ngaahi ʻātakaí. Te tau hehema nai ke fakaʻatalahi ha faʻahinga meʻa ʻoku ʻikai te tau saiʻia ai, lolotonga iá ʻoku vakai ʻa Sihova ia ki he tokotahá kakato, ʻo kau ai ʻa hono ngaahi ʻulungāanga leleí kotoa. Ko e lahi ange ʻetau feinga ke hangē ko Sihová, ko e lahi ange ia ʻetau pouaki ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻofa mo e fāʻūtaha ʻi he fakatahaʻangá.—Ef. 4:1-3; 4:32e, 33 (Ef 5:1, 2, PM).
5. Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai totonu ai ke tau fakamāuʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé?
5 Naʻe ʻiloʻi lelei ʻe Sīsū ko e faʻahinga taʻehaohaoa ʻo e tangatá ʻoku nau faʻa maʻu ʻa e hehema ke fakamāuʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé. Naʻá ne akonaki ʻo pehē: “Tuku ʻa e faifakamāú koeʻuhi ke ʻoua ʻe fakamāuʻi kimoutolu.” (Mt. 7:1, NW) Fakatokangaʻi ange naʻe ʻikai ke pehē ʻe Sīsuú: “ʻOua naʻa mou fakamaau”; naʻá ne pehē: “Tuku ʻa e faifakamāú.” Naʻá ne ʻiloʻi ʻe ia ko e tokolahi ʻi heʻene kau fanongó naʻa nau ʻosi angaʻaki ʻe kinautolu ʻa hono fakaangaʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé. ʻE lava nai ke pehē kuo tau fakatupulekina ʻe kitautolu ʻa e anga ko iá? Kapau ʻoku tau maʻu ʻa e hehema ko iá, ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fai ha feinga lahi ke liliu, koeʻuhí ke ʻoua ʻe fakamaau tamaki kitautolu. Ko hono moʻoní, ko hai kitautolu ke tau fakamāuʻi ha tokotaha ʻa ia ʻoku ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻi ha tuʻunga kuo fakanofo ki ai, pe ko haʻatau pehē ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke ne hoko ko ha konga ʻo e fakatahaʻangá? ʻE ʻi ai nai ha ngaahi tōnounou ʻa ha tokoua, ka ʻo kapau ʻoku kei tali pē ia ʻe Sihova, ʻe totonu nai kiate kitautolu ke ʻoua te tau talitali lelei ia? (Sione 6:44) ʻOku tau tui moʻoni ʻoku tataki ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻene kautahá pea kapau ʻe ʻi ai ha ngaahi fakatonutonu ʻe fiemaʻu, te ne fai ha ngāue ki ai ʻi heʻene taimi kotofa ʻaʻaná?—Lau ʻa e Loma 14:1-4.
6. ʻOku anga-fēfē ʻa e vakai ʻa Sihova ki heʻene kau sevānití?
6 Ko ha meʻa fisifisimuʻa fekauʻaki mo Sihová, ʻoku malava ke ne ʻafioʻi ʻi he Kalisitiane taki taha ʻa e meʻa te nau malava ke faí ʻi heʻenau aʻusia pē ko ia ʻa e haohaoá ʻi he māmani foʻoú. ʻOkú ne toe ʻiloʻi foki ʻa e fakalakalaka fakalaumālie kuo nau ʻosi aʻusiá. Ko ia ai, ʻoku ʻikai ha ʻuhinga ia ke ne hangataha pē ki he vaivaiʻanga fakaekakanó. ʻOku tau lau ʻi he Sāme 103:12: “Hange ko hahake mo hihifo hona vamamaʻo, ʻoku mamaʻo pehē ʻene ʻave ʻiate kitaua ʻeta ngaahi maumau lao.” He fakamālōʻia fakafoʻituitui ē ko kitautolu ʻi he meʻa ko iá!—Sāme 130:3.
7. Ko e hā ʻoku tau ako mei he anga ʻo e vakai ʻa Sihova kia Tēvitá?
7 ʻOku tau sio ki he fakamoʻoni ʻi he Tohi Tapú ki he malava fisifisimuʻa ʻa Sihova ke hangataha pē ki he lelei ʻi ha tokotaha. Naʻe fakamatalaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa Tēvita “ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita, ʻa ia naʻa ne tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, ʻo ne muimui kiate au ʻaki hono loto kotoa ke fai pe ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ha totonu kiate au.” (1 Tuʻi 14:8) Ko e moʻoni, ʻoku tau ʻiloʻi naʻe fai ʻe Tēvita ʻa e ngaahi meʻa naʻe hala. Neongo ia, naʻe fili ʻa Sihova ke hangataha ki heʻene leleí koeʻuhí naʻá ne ʻafioʻi naʻe loto-totonu ʻa Tēvita.—1 Kal. 29:17.

Ko e tuʻungá ni ʻiate ia pē, ko ha ʻuhinga lelei ia kiate kitautolu ke ʻoua te tau faifakamaau. ʻOku ʻikai te tau ʻilo ki he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi fakaueʻiloto ʻa ha tokotaha. ʻOku totonu ke tau feinga ke faʻifaʻitaki kia Sihova ʻo ʻoua ʻe tokangataha ki he ngaahi taʻehaohaoa fakaetangatá, ʻa ia ʻe faifai atu pē ʻo pulí. ʻIkai ko ha taumuʻa lelei ia ke hoko ʻo hangē ko Iá ʻi he fekauʻaki mo e meʻá ni? Ko ʻetau fai peheé ʻe tokoni lahi ia ki he vahaʻangatae melino mo hotau fanga tokouá mo e fanga tuofāfiné.—Ef. 4:23, 24.

Hili iá, ʻoku talanoa ʻa e faʻahinga ʻoku lue haké ki he fakaʻofoʻofa ʻa e falé. ʻE lava nai ke tau hangē ko e tokotaha ko ʻeni naʻá ne ngāue ke monomono pe toe fakafoʻou ʻa e falé? ʻI he ʻikai hangataha pē ki he ngaahi tōnounou ʻoku hā mai ʻi hotau fanga tokouá, ʻe lava nai ke tau fakatokangaʻi ʻenau ngaahi anga ʻoku leleí mo ʻenau malava ke tupulekina fakalaumālie lahi angé? Kapau ʻe pehē, te tau hoko ai ʻo ʻofa ki hotau fanga tokouá koeʻuhi ko ʻenau fakaʻofoʻofa fakalaumālié, ʻo hangē pē ko Sihová.—Lau ʻa e Hepelu 6:10.
10. ʻE lava fēfē ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he faleʻi ʻoku hā ʻi he Filipai 2:3, 4?
10 Naʻe fai ʻe he ʻapositolo ko Paulá ha faleʻi ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻi hotau vahaʻangatae mo e faʻahinga kotoa ʻi he fakatahaʻangá. Naʻá ne ekinaki ki he kau Kalisitiané: “ʻOua ʻe feinga ki ha meʻa ko e fakafekākeʻi, pe ko e fieongoongoa; ka ʻi hoʻomou loto taʻehiki mou taki taha lau ʻoku lelei hake ʻa hono kainga ʻiate ia: pea ʻoua naʻa taki taha tokanga ki heʻene meʻa aʻana pe, ka ki he meʻa ʻa e kakai kehe foki.” (Fili. 2:3, 4) ʻE tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he anga-fakatōkilaló ke tau maʻu ʻa e vakai totonu ki he niʻihi kehé. Ko hono fakahāhā ʻa e mahuʻingaʻia fakafoʻituitui ʻi he niʻihi kehé mo e sio ki he lelei ʻiate kinautolú, ʻe toe tokoni foki ia ke tau vakai ai kiate kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e vakai ʻa Sihová.

11 ʻI he ngaahi taimi ki muí ni maí, kuo iku ai ʻa e ngaahi fakalakalaka fakamāmanilahí ki he ngaahi fengaʻunuʻaki lahi ʻi he kakaí. Ko e ngaahi kolo ʻe niʻihi kuo nofoʻi ia ʻe he kakai tokolahi mei he ngaahi fonua kehé. Ko e niʻihi ʻo e kakai ʻoku nau omi foʻou ki hotau feituʻú kuo nau hoko ʻo mahuʻingaʻia ʻi he moʻoni he Tohi Tapú, pea kuo nau kau fakataha mo kitautolu ʻi he lotu kia Sihová. Ko e faʻahinga ʻeni “mei he puleʻanga kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi matakali, mo e ngaahi faʻahinga, mo e ngaahi lea.” (Fkh. 7:9) Ko hono olá, ʻoku hoko ai ʻi ha tuʻunga ʻa ʻetau ngaahi fakatahaʻanga lahi ʻo toe fakavahaʻapuleʻanga ange.
12. Ko e hā ʻa e faʻahinga vakai ki he tokotaha taki taha ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau tauhi maʻú, pea ko e hā ʻe hoko nai ai ʻeni ʻo faingataʻa ʻi he taimi ʻe niʻihi?

Ko e anga fakafonua ʻo hotau kaungālotú ʻe faikehekehe lahi nai ia mei haʻatautolú, pea pehē ki honau puipuituʻa fakaako, fakaʻekonōmika mo e fakamatakali. ʻOku faingataʻa nai kiate koe ke ke mahinoʻi ʻa e fakakaukau pe ngaahi tōʻonga ʻa ha niʻihi? Te nau ongoʻi nai ʻa e meʻa tatau pē ʻo fekauʻaki mo koe. Ka neongo ia, ʻoku fakahinohino mai kia kitautolu hono kotoa: “Maʻu ʻa e ʻofa ki he feohiʻanga fakakātoa ʻo e fanga tokouá.”—1 Pita 2:17, NW.

Te tau ʻeke hifo nai kiate kitautolu, ‘ʻOku ou fai ha feinga tuʻumaʻu ke u ʻiloʻi ʻa e kakai ʻo ha anga fakafonua ʻoku kehe mei haʻakú?’ Ko ha sivisiviʻi-kita pehē ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi kitautolu ke ʻai ke tau hoko ʻo lelei ange ʻi hono tali pea mo koloaʻaki ʻa ʻetau fetokouaʻaki fakavahaʻapuleʻangá.

(Ng. 10:9-35) Ko Saula, ʻa ia naʻe hoko ki mui ko e ʻapositolo ko Paulá, naʻe pau foki kiate ia ke ne fai ha ngaahi liliu pea ke siʻaki ʻa e tomuʻa fehiʻá. Naʻá ne tala totonu ʻa ʻene fehiʻa ʻaupito ʻi he kau Kalisitiané ʻo ‘makehe atu ʻene fakatangaʻi ʻa e siasi ʻa e ʻOtuá, mo ʻene laiki iá.’ Neongo ia, ʻi he taimi naʻe fakatonutonu ai ʻa Paula ʻe he ʻEiki ko Sīsuú, naʻá ne fai leva ha ngaahi liliu lahi pea aʻu ʻo kamata ke ne tali ʻa e fakahinohino mei he faʻahinga naʻá ne ʻuluaki fakatangaʻí.—Kal. 1:13-20.
