Ko e kupu “paionia” ne fa hagaao ki a lautolu kua foafoa e tau matakavi foou mo e hafagi e puhala ma e falu ke mumui. Ko e paionia foki a Iesu, ne fakafano mai ke he lalolagi ke taute e fekafekauaga foaki moui mo e ke hafagi e puhala ke he fakamouiaga. (Mataio 20:28) He vahā nei, ko e tau tutaki haana kua fifitaki a ia he foaki e magaaho lahi ke ‘taute tutaki.’ (Mataio 28:19, 20) Falu ne maeke ke taute e mena ne fakahigoa e mautolu ko e gahua paionia.

Ko e paionia ko e tagata fakamatala tumau. Ko e tau tagata fakailoa oti he tala mitaki e Tau Fakamoli a Iehova. Pete ia, falu ne fakatokatoka e tau momoui ha lautolu ke fekafekau ko e tau paionia tumau, ne fakaaoga 70 e tulā he tau mahina takitaha he gahua fakamatala. He taute e mena nei, tokologa ne fakakaupā e gahua tupe ke gahua vala magaaho. Kua fifili e falu ke fekafekau ko e tau paionia pauaki he tau matakavi kua manako lahi ma e tau tagata fakailoa he Kautu, he foaki 130 e tulā po ke molea atu ke he fekafekauaga he tau mahina takitaha. Ko e tau paionia kua momoui fakalatalata, he mauokafua to foaki e Iehova e tau mena kua lata mo e tau momoui ha lautolu. (Mataio 6:31-33; 1 Timoteo 6:6-8) Ko lautolu kua nakai paionia tumau kua maeke ke fekafekau ko e tau paionia fakakū ka maeke a lautolu, he fakalahi e gahua fakamatala ha lautolu ke he 30 po ke 50 e tulā he mahina.

Ko e paionia ne fakaohooho he fakaalofa ke he Atua mo e tau tagata. Tuga a Iesu, mailoga e mautolu e tuaga manako fakaagaaga kua moua he tokologa he vahā nei. (Mareko 6:34) Ka e ha ha ia mautolu e iloilo ka lagomatai a lautolu he mogo tonu nei, he foaki ki a lautolu e amaamanakiaga mauokafua ma e vahā anoiha. Ko e fakaalofa ke he katofia kua fakalagalaga e paionia ke foaki fakalahi e magaaho mo e malolō haana ke lagomatai fakaagaaga e falu. (Mataio 22:39; 1 Tesalonia 2:8) Ti ko e fua, ko e tua haana kua fakamalolō, ti fakatata lahi atu ke he Atua, ti lahi e fiafia ne moua e ia.—Gahua 20:35.
