“Ko e . . . feʻiohoʻaki mo e lauʻikovi, tuku ke hiki ia meiate kimoutolu.”​—Efeso 4:31.

ʻUhinga ʻo e meʻá ni. Ko e ngaahi fāmili palopalemaʻiá mo lavameʻá fakatouʻosi ʻoku ʻi ai ʻenau ngaahi taʻefelotoi. Ka ko e ngaahi fāmili lavameʻá ʻoku nau lāulea ki he ngaahi meʻá ʻo ʻikai ngāueʻaki ʻa e manuki, tafulu mo e lea kovi ʻi he founga kehe. Ko e ngaahi mēmipa ʻo e fāmilí ʻoku nau fefaiʻaki ʻa e meʻa te nau saiʻia ke fai mai kia kinautolú.—Mātiu 7:12.

Pea ʻi he tauhi fānaú, ʻoku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú: “ʻOua te mou fakahohaʻasi hoʻomou fanau, naʻa faifai pea nau loto kina.” (Kolose 3:21) Ko e fānau ʻoku toutou fakaangaʻí te nau hoko nai ai ʻo ongoʻi ʻoku ʻikai malava ke fakahōhōʻiaʻi ʻenau mātuʻá. ʻE aʻu nai ʻo ʻikai te nau toe fai ha feinga.
