Naʻá ne tohi: “ʻOua ʻe ʻai ke mamahi ʻa e Laumalie Maʻoniʻoni ko ia ʻo e ʻOtua, ʻa ia naʻe sila ʻaki kimoutolu ki he ʻaho huhuʻi.” Naʻe ʻikai loto ʻa Paula ke ʻai ke ʻi ha tuʻunga fakatuʻutāmaki ʻa e tuʻunga fakalaumālie ʻo hono kaungātui ʻofeiná.

4. Ko e hā ʻoku mahuʻinga ai ke fakaʻehiʻehi mei hono ʻai ke mamahi ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá?

Naʻe kōlenga ʻa Tēvita ʻi he fakatomala kia Sihova: “Oua naa ke liaki au mei ho ao; bea oua naa ke too iate au ho laumalie maonioni.” (Sāme 51:11, PM) Ko e faʻahinga pani pē ʻoku nau fakamoʻoniʻi ʻenau “fai agatonu be o aʻu ki he mate” te nau maʻu ʻa e “bale” ʻo e moʻui taʻefaʻamate ʻi hēvaní.

7, 8. Fakamatalaʻi ʻa e ʻuhinga kuo pau ai ke tau lea moʻoní.
7 Kuo pau ke tau lea moʻoni. Fakatatau ki he Efeso 4:25, naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Ko eni, kuo tuku ʻa e loi, ko ia mou taki taha lea moʻoni ʻi he feangai mo hono kaungaʻapi; he ko e ngaahi kupu kitautolu ʻoku fekauʻaki.” Koeʻuhi ʻoku tau fāʻūtaha ʻi he tuʻunga ko e “ngaahi kupu kitautolu ʻoku fekauʻaki,” ʻoku ʻikai moʻoni totonu ke tau kākā pe feinga ʻosi fakakaukauʻi ke takihalaʻi ʻa hotau kaungālotú, he ʻoku tatau ia mo hono lohiakiʻi kinautolu. Ko ha taha pē ʻoku kīvoi ʻi ha ʻalunga pehē ʻe iku ia ki he ʻikai hano vahaʻangatae mo e ʻOtuá.—Lau ʻa e Palovepi 3:32.

Ko ia ai, ʻoku totonu ke tau hangē ko e palōfita alafalalaʻanga ko Tanielá, ʻa ia naʻe ʻikai lava ke ʻilo ʻe he niʻihi kehé ha kovi ʻiate ia. (Tan. 6:4) Pea ʻoku totonu ke tau manatuʻi ʻa e akonaki ʻa Paula ki he kau Kalisitiane naʻa nau maʻu ha ʻamanaki fakahēvaní ko e mēmipa taki taha ʻo e “sino ʻo Kalaisi” ʻoku nau fekauʻaki mo e niʻihi kehé kotoa pea ʻoku fiemaʻu ke nau fāʻūtaha ai pē mo e kau muimui pani lea moʻoni ʻa Sīsuú. (Ef. 4:11, 12) Kapau ʻoku tau ʻamanaki ke moʻui taʻengata ʻi he māmani Palataisí, ko kitautolu foki kuo pau ke tau leaʻaki ʻa e moʻoní, ʻo tokoni ai ki he fāʻūtaha ʻa ʻetau fetokouaʻaki ʻi māmani lahí.

9 Kuo pau ke tau talitekeʻi ʻa e Tēvoló, ʻo ʻoua ʻe ʻoange ha faingamālie ke ne ʻai ke hoko ha maumau fakalaumālie kia kitautolu. (Sem. 4:7) ʻOku tokoniʻi kitautolu ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoní ke tau talitekeʻi ʻa Sētane. Hangē ko ení, ʻe lava ke tau fai ia ʻaki hono maluʻi kitautolu mei he ʻita taʻemapuleʻí. Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “ʻIta pe, kae ʻoua ʻe angahala ai: ʻoua ʻe tuku ke to ʻa e laʻa ʻoku mou kei mamahi; kaeʻumaʻā, ʻoua naʻa tuku ha ava ki he Tevolo.” (Ef. 4:26, 27) Kapau te tau hoko ʻo ʻita ʻi ha ʻuhinga totonu, ko ha lotu fakalongolongo he taimi pē ko iá ʻe lava ke tokoniʻi ai kitautolu ke tau “lotomaʻu,” ʻo fakahāhā ʻa e mapuleʻi-kita kae ʻikai fai ha tōʻonga ʻa ia ʻe lava ke ʻai ai ke mamahi ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. (Pal. 17:27) Ko ia ʻai ke ʻoua te tau mamahi ai pē pea ʻoange ai ha faingamālie kia Sētane ke ne fakaʻaiʻai ke tau fai ha meʻa ʻoku kovi. (Sāme 37:8, 9) Ko e founga ʻe taha ke talitekeʻi ai iá ko hono fakaleleiʻi vave ʻa e fekīhiakí ʻi he fehoanaki mo e akonaki ʻa Sīsuú.—Mt. 5:23, 24; 18:15-17.
10, 11. Ko e hā kuo pau ai ke ʻoua te tau kaihaʻa pe taʻefaitotonú?
10 Kuo pau ke ʻoua naʻa tau tō ʻi ha ʻahiʻahi pē ke kaihaʻa pe taʻefaitotonu. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo e kaihaʻá, naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Ke ʻoua naʻa kei kaihaʻa ʻe he kaihaʻa: ka ne fakafitefitaʻa muʻa, ʻo ngaueʻaki ʻa e ongo nima ko ia ki he meʻa ʻoku lelei, koeʻuhi ke ai haʻane meʻa ke foaki ki he masiva.” (Ef. 4:28) Kapau naʻe kaihaʻa ha Kalisitiane fakatapui, ko hono moʻoní te ne ‘takua noa ae huafa o e Otuá,’ ʻaki hono ʻoatu ki ai ha luma. (Pal. 30:7-9, PM) Naʻa mo e masivá ʻoku ʻikai fakatonuhiaʻi ai ʻa e kaihaʻá. Ko e faʻahinga ʻoku ʻofa ki he ʻOtuá mo e kaungāʻapí ʻoku nau ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito pē fakatonuhiaʻi ʻa e kaihaʻá ia.—Mk. 12:28-31.
11 ʻOku ʻikai ke lave pē ʻa Paula ki he meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke tau faí; ʻokú ne fakahaaʻi mai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau faí. Kapau ʻoku tau moʻui pea fou ʻi he laumālie māʻoniʻoní, te tau ngāue mālohi koeʻuhi ke lava ai ʻo tau tokangaʻi ʻa hotau fāmilí pea toe maʻu foki ai ha “meʻa ke foaki ki he masiva.” (1 Tim. 5:8) Naʻe vaheʻi ʻe Sīsū mo ʻene kau ʻapositoló ʻa e paʻanga ke tokoni ki he masivá, ka ko e lavaki ko Siutasi ʻIsikalioté naʻá ne toʻo ha konga ʻo e paʻangá. (Sione 12:4-6) Naʻe ʻikai moʻoni ke tataki ia ʻe he laumālie māʻoniʻoní. Ko kitautolu ʻoku tataki ʻe he laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá ʻoku tau “tōʻonga faitotonu ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē,” ʻo hangē ko Paulá. (Hep. 13:18, NW) ʻOku tau fakaʻehiʻehi ai mei hono ʻai ke mamahi ʻa e laumālie māʻoniʻoni ʻo Sihová.

12, 13. (a) Hangē ko ia ne fakahaaʻi ʻi he Efeso 4:29, ko e hā ʻa e faʻahinga lea ʻoku totonu ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei aí? (e) ʻOku totonu ke fēfē ʻa e natula ʻo ʻetau leá?
12 Kuo pau ke tau tokangaʻi ʻetau leá. Naʻe talaki ʻe Paula: “Ke oua naa haʻu ha talanoa uli mei ho mou gutu, ka koia oku lelei o aoga ke laga aki hake, koeuhi ke tubu ai ae tokoni ki he kau fanogo.” (Ef. 4:29, PM) ʻI heni foki, ʻoku ʻikai ke leaʻaki pē ʻe he ʻapositoló ia ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke tau faí; ʻokú ne tala mai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau faí. ʻI he malumalu ʻo e tākiekina ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá, ʻe ueʻi ai kitautolu ke tau ‘leaʻaki ae meʻa oku lelei o aoga ke laga aki hake, koeuhi ke tubu ai ae tokoni ki he kau fanogó.’ ʻIkai ko ia pē, ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke tau tuku ha “talanoa uli” ke haʻu mei hotau ngutú. Ko e foʻi lea faka-Kalisi naʻe liliu ko e “uli” kuo ngāueʻaki ia ke fakamatalaʻi ʻaki ʻa e fuaʻiʻakau, ika, pe kakanoʻi manu ʻoku kovi. Hangē ko ʻetau fehiʻa ʻi he meʻakai peheé, ʻoku tau fehiʻa ʻi he lea ʻoku vakai ki ai ʻa Sihova ʻoku koví.
13 Ko ʻetau leá ʻoku totonu ke taau, anga-ʻofa, ʻo “fakaifo ʻaki ha masima.” (Kol. 3:8-10; 4:6) ʻOku totonu ke malava ʻa e kakaí ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻoku tau kehe ʻi he taimi ʻoku nau fanongo mai ai ki he meʻa ʻoku tau leaʻakí. Ko ia ai, tau tokoniʻi ʻa e niʻihi kehé ʻaki ʻetau leaʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻoku “lelei o aoga ke laga aki hake.” Pea ʻofa ke tau ongoʻi ʻo hangē ko e tokotaha-tohi-sāmé ʻa ia naʻá ne hiva: “Ke hoko lelei ki ho ʻao ʻa e ngaahi lea ʻa hoku ngutu ni, mo e fakakaukau ʻa hoku loto, ʻa e ʻAfiona ko hoku Moʻunga mo hoku Koeli.”—Sāme 19:14.
14. Fakatatau ki he Efeso 4:30, 31, kuo pau ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he hā?
14 Kuo pau ke tau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he fakamahū, ʻita, lea kovi, mo e kovi kotoa pē. Hili ʻa e fakatokanga fekauʻaki mo hono ʻai ke mamahi ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá, naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Ko e fakamahū kotoa pe mo e lili mo e ʻita mo e feʻiohoʻaki mo e lauʻikovi, tuku ke hiki ia meiate kimoutolu, ʻio mo e lotokovi kotoa.” (Ef. 4:30, 31) ʻI he tuʻunga ko e kakai taʻehaohaoá, ko kitautolu kotoa ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau ngāue mālohi ke mapuleʻi ʻetau fakakaukaú mo e tōʻongá. Kapau naʻa tau faʻifaʻiteliha ʻi he “fakamahū kotoa pe mo e lili mo e ʻita,” te tau ʻai ai ke mamahi ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ʻOtuá. Ko e meʻa tatau pē ʻoku hoko kapau ʻoku tau tukulotoa ʻa e ngaahi fehālaaki kuo fai mai kia kitautolú, ʻo fakahāhā ha tōʻonga ʻiteʻita, pea fakafisi ke fakalelei mo e tokotaha fakatupu mamahí.

15. Kapau ʻoku fai mai ha hala kia kitautolu, ko e hā ʻoku totonu ke tau faí?
15 ʻOku fiemaʻu ke tau anga-ʻofa, manavaʻofa pea fakamolemole. Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula: “Mou angaʻofa muʻa ʻi hoʻomou feangai, mo manavaʻofa, pea mou fefakamolemoleʻaki, ʻo hange foki ko e ʻOtua ne ne fakamolemole kimoutolu ʻia Kalaisi.” (Ef. 4:32) Neongo kapau ʻoku tau loto-mamahi lahi ʻi ha hala kuo fai mai kia kitautolu, tau fakamolemoleʻi ia, ʻo hangē ko e ʻOtuá. (Luke 11:4) Tau pehē kuo leaʻaki ʻe ha kaungātui ha meʻa ʻoku ʻikai lelei fekauʻaki mo kitautolu. ʻI he feinga ke fakaleleí, ʻoku tau fakaofiofi kiate ia. ʻOkú ne fakahāhā ʻa e fakaʻiseʻisa moʻoni pea kole fakamolemole. ʻOku tau fakamolemoleʻi ia, ka ʻoku fiemaʻu ke tau fai ʻa e meʻa lahi ange. “ʻE ʻikai te ke fai sauni, pe tauhi ha ʻita ki ha niʻihi ʻi ho faʻahinga,” ko e lau ia ʻa e Livitiko 19:18, “ka te ke ʻofa ki ho kaungaʻapi, ʻo hange ko hoʻo ʻofa kiate koe: ko Sihova au.”
