¹⁸ Naʻe tauhi ʻe Sīsū ʻene leá. Ki mui ai, ʻi Kāleli, ko Sīsū ko ia naʻe toetuʻú naʻe hā ia ki he kau ʻapositolo anga-tonu ʻe toko 11, ʻa ia naʻe hā mahino naʻa nau fakatahataha mo e niʻihi kehe tokolahi. (Mātiu 28:​16, 17; 1 Kolinito 15:6) ʻI aí, naʻe ʻoange ʻe Sīsū kiate kinautolu ha fekau mafatukituki: “Ko ia ke mou ō, ʻo ngaohi ʻa e ngāhi kakai kotoa pe ko ʻeku kau ako, ʻi he papitaiso kinautolu ki he Huafa ʻo e Tamai mo e ʻAlo mo e Laumalie Maʻoniʻoni, mo e akoʻi kinautolu ke tauhi ʻa e ngāhi meʻa kotoa pe kuo u tuʻutuʻuni atu.” (Mātiu 28:​19, 20) ʻOku ʻomai kiate kitautolu ʻe he tohi ʻa Ngāué ha fakamoʻoni mahino ko e kau ʻapositoló naʻa nau muimui ki he fekau ko iá. Naʻa nau takimuʻa faitōnunga ʻi he ngāue ko hono malangaʻi ʻa e ongoongo leleí ʻi he ʻuluaki senitulí.—Ngāue 2:​41, 42; 4:33; 5:​27-32.

19. Ko e hā ʻoku akoʻi mai kiate kitautolu ʻe he ngaahi tōʻonga ʻa Sīsū hili ʻene toetuʻú ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻatamai ʻo Kalaisí?

¹⁹ Ko e hā ʻoku akoʻi mai kiate kitautolu ʻe he fakamatala mahino ko ení ʻo fekauʻaki mo e ʻatamai ʻo Kalaisí? Kuo sio ʻa Sīsū ʻi he tuʻunga kovi taha ʻo ʻene kau ʻapositoló, ka neongo ia, naʻá ne “ʻofa ʻiate kinautolu ʻo aʻu ki he ngataʻangá.” (Sione 13:​1, NW) Neongo ʻenau ngaahi tōnounoú, naʻá ne ʻai ke nau ʻilo naʻá ne tui kiate kinautolu. Fakatokangaʻi ko e loto-falala ʻa Sīsuú naʻe ʻikai ko ha tukuhalaʻi. Ko e loto-falala mo e tui kuó ne fakahāhā kiate kinautolú naʻe ʻikai ha veiveiua naʻá ne fakaivia kinautolu ke  nau fakapapauʻi ʻi honau lotó ke fakahoko ʻa e ngāue naʻá ne fekauʻi kinautolu ke nau faí.

20, 21. ʻE anga-fēfē nai haʻatau fakahāhā ha vakai papau ʻo fekauʻaki mo hotau kaungātuí?

²⁰ ʻE lava fēfē ke tau fakahāhaaʻi ʻa e ʻatamai ʻo Kalaisí ʻi he tuʻunga ko ení? ʻOua ʻe fakatuʻatamaki ʻo fekauʻaki mo e kaungātuí. Kapau te ke fakakaukau pē ki he kovi tahá, ngalingali ʻe hā mai ia ʻi hoʻo ngaahi leá mo hoʻo ngaahi tōʻongá. (Luke 6:45) Kae kehe, ʻoku tala mai ʻe he Tohitapú kiate kitautolu ko e ʻofá “ʻoku ne tui ʻi he meʻa kotoa pe.” (1 Kolinito 13:7) Ko ʻofá ʻoku pau, ʻo ʻikai taʻepau. ʻOkú ne langa hake ʻo ʻikai holoki hifo. Ko e kakaí ʻoku matangofua ange ke nau fai ha tali ki he ʻofá mo e fakalototoʻá ʻi he fakamanamaná. ʻE lava ke tau langa hake mo fakalototoʻaʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻaki hono fakahāhaaʻi ʻa e loto-falala kiate kinautolu. (1 Tesalonaika 5:11) Kapau, hangē ko ia ko Kalaisí, ʻoku tau maʻu ha vakai papau ʻo fekauʻaki mo hotau fanga tokouá, te tau tōʻongafai leva kiate kinautolu ʻi ha ngaahi founga ʻe langa hake ai pea mo tohoakiʻi hake ʻa e lelei tahá meiate kinautolu.

²¹ Ko hono fakatupulekina mo hono fakahāhaaʻi ʻa e ʻatamai ʻo Kalaisí ʻoku loloto ange ia ʻi hono faʻifaʻitakiʻi pē ha ngaahi meʻa ʻe niʻihi naʻe fai ʻe Sīsū. Hangē ko ia naʻe lave ki ai ʻi he kupu ki muʻá, kapau ʻoku tau fie ngāue moʻoni ʻo hangē ko Kalaisí, kuo pau ke tau tomuʻa ako ke vakai ki he ngaahi meʻá ʻo hangē ko ia naʻá ne faí. ʻOku ʻai kitautou ʻe he ngaahi Kōsipelí ke tau malava ʻo sio ki ha toe tafaʻaki ʻe taha ʻo hono angaʻitangatá, ko ʻene ngaahi fakakaukaú mo ʻene ngaahi ongoʻi ko ia fekauʻaki mo e ngāue kuo vaheʻi ange ki aí, ʻo hangē ko ia ʻe lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu hono hokó.
