“Ko te Tohi-Tapu kātoa ʼe haʼu mai te ʼAtua pea ʼe ʼaoga moʼo akoʼi, moʼo fakatonutonuʼi, moʼo fakatokatoka ʼo te ʼu meʼa, moʼo akonakiʼi ʼi te faitotonu, koteʼuhi ke faiva ia te tagata ʼa te ʼAtua, pea mo kātoa ki te ʼu gāue lelei fuli pē.”—2 TIMOTEO 3:16, 17.

ʼE KO he ʼu palalau ʼe malave mālohi ʼaē neʼe fai e te ʼapositolo ko Paulo ʼo ʼuhiga mo te maʼuhiga ʼaupitō ʼo te Tohi-Tapu! ʼE mahino ia, neʼe talanoa tāfito ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼu koga ʼo te Tohi-Tapu ʼaē neʼe maʼu ʼi tona temi, ko te ʼu tohi ʼaē ʼe fakahigoaʼi e te hahaʼi ʼe ko te Tauhi ʼĀfea. Kae ko te ʼu palalau ʼaē neʼe fai e Paulo ʼe fakaʼuhiga tatau ki te ʼu tohi fuli ʼaē ʼe 66 ʼo te Tohi-Tapu, ʼo kau kiai te ʼu tohi ʼaē neʼe fai e te ʼu tisipulo agatonu ʼa Sesu ʼi te ʼuluaki sēkulō ʼo totatou temi.

ʼE maʼuhiga ʼaupitō koa kiā koutou ia te Tohi-Tapu ohagē ko tona maʼuhiga kiā Paulo? ʼE kotou manatu koa ko te ʼu tagata ʼaē neʼe natou tohi ia te Tohi-Tapu neʼe takitaki moʼoni nātou e te ʼAtua? Neʼe fakatui kiai ia te ʼu Kilisitiano ʼo te ʼuluaki sēkulō. Neʼe mole puli ia te tui ʼaia lolotoga ia te ʼu sēkulō ki muli age. Ohagē ko John Wycliffe, te tagata Pilitānia takitaki lotu ʼo te hogofulu-mā-fā sēkulō, kiā ia ko te Tohi-Tapu ʼe ko “te lao ʼo te moʼoni ʼe mole feala ke faihala.” Ko te tohi The New Bible Dictionary, ʼaē ʼe talanoa ki te ʼu palalau ʼa Paulo ʼaē ʼe tohi ʼi te kamata, ʼe ʼui ai ko te ‘takitaki ʼaia ʼa te ʼAtua ʼe ina fakamoʼoni ki te moʼoni ʼo te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaē ʼe ʼui ʼi te Tohi-Tapu.’

KOTEĀ te fakaʼuhiga moʼoni ʼo te ʼui ʼaē ʼa te ʼapositolo ko Paulo, ko te Tohi-Tapu ʼe “haʼu mai te ʼAtua”? (2 Timoteo 3:16) Ko Paulo, ʼi tana faitohi ʼi te lea Fakakeleka, neʼe ina fakaʼaogaʼi ia te kupu ko tona fakaʼuhiga “neʼe pupuhi e te ʼAtua.” Neʼe fia ʼui e Paulo ko te ʼAtua ʼaki tona laumālie māʼoniʼoni, neʼe ina takitaki ia te ʼu tagata faitohi ʼo te Tohi-Tapu ke natou tohi pē ia tana ʼu manatu.
