“ ʼAua Naʼa Kotou Lagavaka”

15. Ko te tupuʼaga fea iā Loma 12:19 ʼaē ʼe tonu ai ke tou liʼaki te lagavaka?

¹⁵ ʼE foaki mai e Paulo ia te tahi tupuʼaga mālohi ke mole tou fia lagavaka, ʼe ko te agavaivai. ʼE ina ʼui fēnei: “ ʼAua naʼa kotou lagavaka, kau ʼofaina, kae kotou tuku ke fakalaka te ʼita; koteʼuhi neʼe tohi fēnei: ʼE ʼaʼaku te lagavaka, ʼe au liufaki anai te totogi, ko te ʼui ʼaia ʼa Sehova.” (Loma 12:19) Ko he Kilisitiano ʼe faiga ke lagavaka ʼe fiatuʼu. ʼE ina toʼo te tuʼulaga ʼe mole ʼa ia kae ʼa te ʼAtua. (Mateo 7:1) Tahi ʼaē, ʼi tana fia puleʼakiʼi te faʼahi ʼaia, ʼe mole tui ia ki te fakapapau ʼaenī ʼa Sehova: “E au liufaki anai.” Koia ko te kau Kilisitiano moʼoni ʼe natou falala ko Sehova ʼe ina “fai anai . . . te fakamāu ʼaē ʼe totonu ki tana hahaʼi ʼaē kua fili.” (Luka 18:7, 8; 2 Tesalonika 1:6-8) ʼE natou agavaivai ʼo tuku te lagavaka ʼo te kovi ki te ʼu nima ʼo te ʼAtua.—Selemia 30:23, 24; Loma 1:18.

18. He koʼē ʼe totonu, mo ʼofa, pea mo agavaivai te mole lagavaka?

¹⁸ ʼI tatatou vakaʼi fakanounou ʼo te kāpite 12 ʼo Loma, kua tou mahino ai ki te ʼu tupuʼaga tāfito ʼo tatatou mole “liufaki ki he tahi te kovi ʼuhi ko te kovi.” ʼUluaki, neʼe tou vakaʼi ʼe mole tonu ke tou lagavaka heʼe ko he aga ʼe totonu. ʼUhi ko te manavaʼofa ʼo te ʼAtua kiā tātou, ʼe totonu pea mo fakapotopoto ke tou foaki ia tātou totonu kiā Sehova pea mo lotolelei ʼo fakalogo ki tana ʼu fakatotonu—te fakatotonu ki te ʼofa ki ʼotatou fili. Lua, ʼe tou fakafisi ki te liufaki ʼo te kovi ʼaki te kovi heʼe tou ʼofa. Kapau ʼe tou liʼaki te lagavaka pea mo faiga ke tou maʼuli ʼi te tokalelei, ʼe feala ke tou uga anai te hahaʼi ʼaē neʼe fakafeagai ki te moʼoni ke natou liliu ko he ʼu kaugana ʼa Sehova. Tolu, ko te tekeʼi ʼo te liufaki ʼo te kovi ʼaki te kovi ʼe ko he agavaivai. Kapau ʼe tou lagavaka ʼe tou fiatuʼu, heʼe ʼui fēnei e Sehova: “ ʼE ʼaʼaku te lagavaka.” ʼE toe fakatokagaʼi mai tātou e te Folafola ʼa te ʼAtua: “Kua haʼu koa te fialahi? Pea ʼe hoko mai anai te ufiufi; kae ko te poto ʼe maʼu e nātou ʼaē ʼe fia mālalo.” (Tāʼaga Lea 11:2) ʼAki he aga fakapotopoto kā tou tuku ki te ʼAtua ke ina fai ia te lagavaka, ʼe tou fakahā ai tatatou agavaivai.
