1:3-5. Logolā neʼe natou māsisiva ʼi te faʼahi fakasino, kae neʼe tuku mai e te kau Filipe ia he faʼifaʼitaki lelei kiā tātou ʼo ʼuhiga mo te fakahā ʼo te loto foaki.—2 Ko. 8:1-6.

“KOTOU LILIU ʼO MĀLOHI ʼI TE TUI”

(Kol. 1:1–4:18)

ʼI tana tohi ki te kau Kolose, neʼe fakahā lelei e Paulo ia te ʼu manatu kovi ʼa te kau faiakonaki hala. Neʼe ina fakamahino, ʼe mole fakalogo tonatou haofaki ki te ʼu fakamaʼua ʼo te Lao, kae ki tanatou “nonofo ʼi te tui.” Neʼe fakalotomālohiʼi e Paulo ia te kau Kolose ke natou ‘haga haʼele fakatahi mo Kilisito, ʼo natou tauaka pea mo lagaʼi ake nātou iā te ia, pea kua mālolohi ʼi te tui.’ He koʼē neʼe ʼaoga ke natou mālolohi?—Kol. 1:23; 2:6, 7.

Neʼe tohi fēnei e Paulo: “ ʼO hilifaki ki te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaia, kotou kofuʼi ia te ʼofa, he ko he noʼo haohaoa ia ki te logo tahi. Pea ke pule te tokalelei ʼo Kilisito ʼi ʼokotou loto.” Neʼe ʼui fēnei age e te ʼapositolo kiā nātou: “Ko he meʼa pē ʼe kotou fai, kotou gāue ʼaki tokotou nefesi kātoa, ohagē ʼe kotou gāue maʼa Sehova, kae mole maʼa te tagata.” ʼO ʼuhiga mo nātou ʼi tuʼa atu ʼo te kōkelekāsio, ʼe ina ʼui fēnei: “Kotou haga haʼele ʼi te fakapotopoto ʼo ʼuhiga” mo nātou.—Kol. 3:14, 15, 23; 4:5.

Ko te ʼu meʼa ʼaia, ʼe ko te ʼu tafitoʼaga ʼo te mālama ʼa Satana—te ʼu manatu peʼe ko te ʼu pelesepeto tāfito ʼaē ʼe faʼufaʼu ʼaki te mālamanei, ʼo fakaʼaogaʼi moʼona takitaki, peʼe ko te faʼahiga manatu ʼaē ʼe ina uga te mālamanei.
