¹⁶ Naʻe tala ʻe Sīsū ki he kau ʻapositolo ʻe toko 11 naʻe ʻi ai mo ia ʻi he loki ko ia ʻi ʻolungá: “ʻIlonga ha vaʻa ʻiate au ʻoku ʻikai fua, ʻoku ne motuhi ia: pea ʻilonga ha vaʻa ʻoku fua, ʻoku ne ʻauhani ia, ke ʻasili ʻene fua. ʻE, ʻai ke mou nofo maʻu ʻiate au, mo au ʻiate kimoutolu. Hangē ʻoku ʻikai ke faʻa fua ʻa e vaʻa ʻiate ia pē, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai nofo maʻu ʻi he vaine; pehē foki, ʻe ʻikai te mou lava ʻe kimoutolu, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mou nofo maʻu ʻiate au.” (Sione 15:​2, 4) ʻOku fakahaaʻi ʻe he hisitōlia ʻi onopooni ʻo e kakai ʻa Sihová kuo nofo maʻu ʻa e toenga loto-tōnunga ʻo e kau Kalisitiane paní ki honau ʻUlú, ko Kalaisi Sīsū. (Efeso 5:23) Kuo nau tali ʻa e fakamaʻá mo e ʻauhaní. (Malakai 3:​2, 3) Talu mei he 1919, kuo nau ʻomai ʻa e fua ʻo e Puleʻangá ʻo lahi fau, ʻuluakí ko e kau Kalisitiane pani kehé, pea talu mei he 1935, ko ha ngaahi takanga ko e “fuʻu kakai lahi” ʻoku tupulaki fakautuutu.—Fakahā 7:9; Aisea 60:​4, 8-11.

17, 18. (a) Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsū ʻoku tokoni ki he kau paní mo e fanga sipi kehé ke nau nofo maʻu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Sihová? (e) ʻE anga-fēfē ʻa e tokoni ʻa hono maʻu ʻo e Fakamanatú kiate kitautolú?

¹⁷ ʻOku kaunga ʻa e toe ngaahi lea ʻa Sīsuú ki he kotoa ʻo e kau Kalisitiane paní pea mo honau takangá: “Ko e meʻa ko ia kuo fakalangilangiʻi ai ʻa ʻeku Tamai, koeʻuhi ke iku ki hoʻomou fua lahi, mo hoʻomou mātuʻaki hoko ko e kau ako aʻaku. Hangē ko e ʻofaʻi au ʻe he Tamai, kuo pehē ʻeku ʻofaʻi kimoutolu: mou nofo maʻu ʻi he ʻofa ko ia aʻaku. Kapau te mou tauhi ʻeku ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni, te mou nofo maʻu ʻi heʻeku ʻofa; ʻo hangē foki kuo u tauhi ʻe au ʻa e ngaahi tuʻutuʻuni ʻa e Tamai, pea u nofo maʻu ʻi he ʻofa aʻana.”—Sione 15:​8-10.

¹⁸ ʻOku tau fiemaʻu kotoa ke nofo maʻu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá, pea ʻoku ueʻi kitautolu ʻe he meʻá ni ke tau hoko ko e kau Kalisitiane fua lahi. ʻOku tau fai ʻeni ʻaki ʻetau ngāueʻaki ʻa e faingamālie kotoa pē ke malangaʻi ai ʻa e “ongoongolelei ko eni ʻo e puleʻanga.” (Mātiu 24:14) ʻOku tau toe fai hotau lelei tahá ke fakahāhā ʻa e “fua ʻo e laumālié” ʻi heʻetau moʻui fakafoʻituituí. (Kaletia 5:​22, 23, NW) Ko hono maʻu ʻa e Fakamanatu ʻo e pekia ʻa Kalaisí ʻe fakaivimālohiʻi ai kitautolu ʻi heʻetau fakapapau ke fai ʻa e meʻá ni, he ʻe fakamanatu mai ai kiate kitautolu ʻa e ʻofa lahi ʻa e ʻOtuá mo Kalaisi kiate kitautolú.—2 Kolinito 5:​14, 15.

19. Ko e hā ʻa e toe tokoni ʻe lāulea ki ai ʻi he kupu hoko maí?

¹⁹ ʻI he hili hono fokotuʻu ʻa e Fakamanatú, naʻe talaʻofa ʻa Sīsū ʻo pehē ʻe hanga ʻe heʻene Tamaí ʻo ʻomai ki hono kau muimui loto-tōnungá ha “Taukapo [“tokoni,” NW], ko e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni.” (Sione 14:26) Ko e founga ʻoku tokoni ai ʻa e laumālie ko ʻení ki he kau paní mo e fanga sipi kehé ke nau nofo maʻu ʻi he ʻofa ʻa Sihová ʻe sivisiviʻi ia ʻi he kupu hoko maí.
