Ko e niʻihi ʻi he kau tangata ko ení ko Mōsese, Tuʻi Tēvita, Mātiu, Maʻake, Luke mo Sione. a Naʻe ʻai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻene ngaahi fakakaukaú ki he ʻatamai ʻo e kau hiki-tohí ke nau hiki ʻene pōpoakí.​—2 Tīmote 3:16.

   Ke fakatātāʻí: Kapau ʻe fekauʻi ʻe ha tangata pisinisi ʻene sekelitalí ke hiki ʻene pōpoakí, naʻa mo e poini tefito ʻo e pōpoakí, ʻe kei hoko pē ʻa e tangata pisinisí ko e faʻutohi ʻo e pōpoakí. ʻI he tuʻunga meimei tatau, neongo naʻe ngāueʻaki ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e kau tangata ke nau hiki ʻene pōpoakí, ko ia ʻa e Faʻutohi moʻoni ʻo e Tohi Tapú.

 ʻOku kamataʻaki ʻa e Tohi Tapú ha fakamatala nounou fekauʻaki mo hono fakatupu ʻe he ʻOtua Māfimafi-Aoniú ʻa e langí mo e māmaní. Fakafou ʻi he Tohi Tapú, ʻoku fakahaaʻi mai ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa hono huafá, ko Sihova, ʻo fakaafeʻi ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá ke nau hoko ʻo ʻiloʻi ia.​—Saame 83:18.

 ʻOku fakamatalaʻi ʻi he Tohi Tapú kuo fakafofongahalaʻi ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku fakahaaʻi mai ai ʻa e founga te ne fakafoki mai ai hono ongoongó.

 ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e taumuʻa ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá mo e māmaní. ʻOku fakahaaʻi ai ʻa e founga ʻe toʻo atu ai ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he kahaʻú ʻa e tupuʻanga ʻo e faingataʻaʻia ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.

 ʻOku ʻomai ʻe he Tohi Tapú ʻa e faleʻi ʻaonga ki he moʻui fakaʻahó. Ko e fakatātā ʻo e meʻá ni ʻoku kau ki ai hono:

•   Tauhi maʻu ha ngaahi vahaʻangatae lelei. “Ko ia ai, ko e ngaahi meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku mou loto ke fai atu ʻe he kakaí kiate kimoutolú, kuo pau foki ke mou fai ia kiate kinautolu.”​—Mātiu 7:12.

   ʻUhinga: ʻOku totonu ke tau fakafeangai ki he niʻihi kehé ʻi he founga ʻoku tau loto ke nau fakafeangai mai ʻakí.

•   Fekuki mo e loto-mafasiá. “ʻOua ʻaupito naʻa mou loto-moʻua ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻaho hono hokó, he ko e ʻaho hono hokó ʻe ʻi ai pē hono ngaahi loto-moʻua ʻoʻona.”​—Mātiu 6:34.

   ʻUhinga: ʻI he ʻikai ke hohaʻa tōtuʻa fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ʻe hoko ʻi he kahaʻú, ʻoku lelei ke tau tokangataha pē ki he moʻui ʻi he ʻaho ko iá.

•   Fiefia ʻi he nofo malí. “Kuo pau ki he tokotaha taki taha ʻo kimoutolu ke ne ʻofa ki hono uaifí ʻo hangē pē ko ʻene ʻofa ʻiate iá; ʻi he tafaʻaki ʻe tahá, ʻoku totonu ki he uaifí ke ne fakaʻapaʻapa loloto ki hono husepānití.”​—ʻEfesō 5:33.

   ʻUhinga: Ko e ʻofá mo e fakaʻapaʻapá ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ia ki ha nofo mali lavameʻa.

 ʻIkai. Kuo fakahoa fakalelei ʻe he kau mataotaó ʻa e ngaahi muʻaki tatau tohinima ʻo e Tohi Tapú mo e Tohi Tapu ʻi he ʻaho ní pea ʻiloʻi kuo ʻikai liliu ʻa e muʻaki pōpoaki ʻo e Tohi Tapú. ʻOku moʻoni eni​—he ko ē, kapau naʻe loto ʻa e ʻOtuá ke lau mo mahinoʻi ʻene pōpoakí, ʻikai ʻoku ʻuhinga lelei ke ne fakapapauʻi ke ʻoua ʻe liliu ʻene pōpoakí? d​—ʻAisea 40:8.

 Ko e tokolahi taha ʻo e kau lautohi ʻi onopōní ʻoku ʻikai lava ke nau mahinoʻi ʻa e ngaahi lea motuʻa ʻo e Tohi Tapú. Neongo ia ʻoku ʻi ai ha “ongoongo lelei” ‘i he Tohi Tapú ki he “puleʻanga mo e matakali mo e lea . . . kotoa pē.” (Fakahā 14:6) ʻI he ʻuhinga ko iá, ʻoku fiemaʻu ʻe he kakaí ha liliu ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻi ha lea ʻa ia ʻoku nau mahinoʻi koeʻuhí ke lava ke nau lau mo mahinoʻi lelei ange ʻa e pōpoaki ʻa e ʻOtuá.

 ʻOku fakahaaʻi mai ʻe he ngaahi liliu Tohi Tapú ʻa e founga liliu tefito ʻe tolu:

•   Ko hono liliu fakafoʻilea ki he ofi taha ʻe ala lavá.

•   Ko hono liliu ʻa e fakakaukaú ʻo ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻokú ne fakafofongaʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga ʻo e kupuʻi lea ʻi he muʻaki leá.

•   Ko hono liliu ʻo ngāueʻaki ha ngaahi lea kehe, ʻo fakataumuʻa ke fakafiefia ange hono laú. Neongo ia, ko e liliu ko ení ʻe lava ke ne toʻo ʻa e ʻuhinga moʻoni ʻo e fakamatalá.

 Ko ha liliu Tohi Tapu lelei te ne ʻai ke mafamafatatau ʻa e liliu fakafoʻileá mo e lea ʻi onopōní ke fakahaaʻi tonu mātē ʻa e pōpoaki ʻa e ʻOtuá ki he faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá. e

 ʻI he tuʻunga ko e Faʻutohi, ko e ʻOtuá naʻá ne fili ʻa e meʻa ke fakakau ʻi he Tohi Tapú. Naʻá ne ʻuluaki fili ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá ke “tuku kiate kinautolu ʻa e ngaahi foʻi folofola toputapu ʻa e ʻOtuá,” ʻo ngāue ko e kau maluʻi ʻo e Ngaahi Konga Tohi Tapu Faka-Hepelū.​—Loma 3:2.

 ʻIkai. ʻOku kakato pē ʻa e Tohi Tapú; ʻoku ʻikai ha ngaahi tohi ʻi ai ʻoku “mole.” Ko e niʻihi ʻoku nau taukaveʻi nai ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi tohi pau ʻi he kuonga muʻá naʻe fuoloa hono fūfūʻí ʻoku totonu ke fakakau ʻi he Tohi Tapú. f Neongo ia, ʻoku ʻi he Tohi Tapú ʻa e fakamoʻoni alafalalaʻangá ki heʻene kakató. (2 Tīmote 1:13) ʻI hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e sīpinga ko ení, ko e ngaahi tohi Tohi Tapu ʻoku fakamānavaʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻoku nau fekaukauʻaki. Heʻikai lava ke leaʻaki eni ki he kotoa ʻo e ngaahi tohi ʻi he kuonga muʻá ʻa ia ʻoku taukaveʻi ʻe he niʻihi ʻoku kau ʻi he Tohi Tapú. g
