4. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻulungāanga ʻoku totonu ke tau tānaki mai ki heʻetau tuí?

⁴ ʻOku totonu ke ueʻi kitautolu ʻe he tui ki he ngaahi talaʻofa ʻa Sihová mo e loto-hounga ki heʻetau tauʻatāina naʻe foaki mai ʻe he ʻOtuá ke tau fai ʻa hotau lelei tahá ke tau hoko ko e kau Kalisitiane alafaʻifaʻitakiʻanga. Naʻe pehē ʻe Pita: “Ke fai ʻe kimoutolu foki homou tukuingata ke lava ʻi hoʻomou maʻu tui na ʻa e ʻulungaanga lelei; pea ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻa e ʻulungaanga lelei, ke lava ʻa e mafai ke ʻilo; pea ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻa e mafai ke ʻilo, ke lava ʻa e anga fakamaʻumaʻu [“mapuleʻi kita,” NW]; pea ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻa e anga fakamaʻumaʻu, ke lava ʻa e kataki; pea ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻa e kataki, ke lava ʻa e nofo ki he ʻOtua [“anga-līʻoa fakaʻotua,” NW]; pea ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻa e nofo ki he ʻOtua ke lava ʻa e feʻofaʻaki fakalotu [“feʻofaʻaki fakatokoua,” NW]; pea ʻi hoʻomou maʻu ʻa e feʻofaʻaki fakalotu, ke lava ʻa e ʻofa.” (2 Pita 1:​5-7) Ko ia ai, ʻoku ʻomai ʻe Pita kiate kitautolu ʻa e fakahokohoko ʻoku fakapotopoto ke tau hanga ʻo maʻu loto ia. Ka te tau vakai fakaʻāuliliki ange ki he ngaahi ʻulungāanga ko ʻení.

9. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá? (e) Ko e hā ʻoku totonu ai ke tau tānaki mai ʻa e feʻofaʻaki fakatokouá ki heʻetau anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá? (f) ʻE lava fēfē ke tau tānaki mai ʻa e ʻofá ki heʻetau feʻofaʻaki fakatokouá?

⁹ Kuo pau ke tau tānaki mai ki heʻetau kātakí ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotua​—loto-ʻapasia, lotu (worship), mo e ngāue kia Sihova. ʻI heʻetau ngāueʻaki ʻa e anga-līʻoa fakaʻotuá mo vakai ki he anga ʻo e feangainga ʻa Sihova mo ʻene kakaí ʻoku tupulekina ai ʻa ʻetau tuí. Ka ke fakahā ʻa e anga-fakaʻotuá, ʻoku fie maʻu kiate kitautolu ʻa e feʻofaʻaki fakatokoua. Koeʻuhi “he ko ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne ʻofa ki hono tokoua, ʻa ia kuo ne mātaʻi, talaʻehai ʻoku ne lava ke ʻofa ki he ʻOtua, ʻa ia kuo teʻeki ke ne mātaʻi?” (1 Sione 4:20) ʻOku totonu ke ueʻi kitautolu ʻe hotau lotó ke tau fakahā ʻa e ʻofa moʻoni ki he kau sevāniti kehe ʻa Sihová pea ke kumi ki heʻenau leleí ʻi he taimi hono kotoa pē. (Sēmisi 2:​14-17) Ka ko e hā kuo fakahā mai ai kiate kitautolu ke tau tānaki mai ʻa e ʻofá ki heʻetau feʻofaʻaki fakatokouá? ʻOku hā mahino naʻe ʻuhinga ʻa Pita kuo pau ke tau fakahā ʻa e ʻofá ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá kotoa, kae ʻikai ki hotau ngaahi tokouá pē. Kuo fakahā ʻa e ʻofa ko ʻení tautautefito ʻi he malangaʻi ʻo e ongoongo leleí mo e tokoni fakalaumālie ki he kakaí.​—Mātiu 24:14; 28:​19, 20.
