Tou Liliu Ko He ʼu Minisi Faiva Pea Mo Popoto
“Kua au liliu ko meʼa fuli maʼa te hahaʼi kehekehe, ke feala ai haku hāofaki niʼihi.”—1 Kolonito 9:22, MN.

NEʼE faigafua tana fai palalau mo te hahaʼi popoto pea mo te hahaʼi faʼu falelā. Neʼe faiva ʼi te fakalotoʼi ʼo te kau takitaki Loma pea mo te kau gāue kele Filisia. ʼAki tana ʼu tohi neʼe ina uga te kau Keleka popoto pea mo te kau Sutea ʼaē neʼe fia mulimuli ki te Lao ʼa Moisese.

(1 Timoteo 1:12) Neʼe fakatotonu age e Sesu kiā ia ke ina “ ʼave te huafa ʼo Kilisito ki te ʼu puleʼaga, ʼo feiā ki te ʼu hau pea mo te ʼu foha ʼo Iselaele.” (Gaue 9:15, MN ) Neʼe ina tali feafeaʼi tana gāue ʼaia?

Kae ʼe au fai ia meʼa fuli ʼuhi ko te logo lelei, ke au maʼu mo niʼihi.” (1 Kolonito 9:22, 23, MN ) Koteā te ako ʼe tou tāʼofi mai te faʼifaʼitaki ʼa Paulo ʼe ʼaoga anai kiā tatou ke feala hatatou tuputupu ʼi tatatou fai faka mafola pea mo tatatou faiako?
Ko Te Tagata Kua Fetogi ʼe Ina Fakahoko Tona Maʼua Faigataʼa
3. Neʼe feafeaʼi te aga ʼa Paulo ki te kau Kilisitiano ʼi muʼa ʼo tana tafoki ki te Lotu Faka Kilisitiano?
3 Ko Paulo, neʼe ko he tagata koa neʼe faʼa kātaki tuʼumaʼu, mo agalelei pea mo ina fai ia te maʼua ʼaē neʼe foaki age? Kailoa ia! ʼI te tauhi fakavale ʼa Saulo (te higoa ʼāfea ʼaia ʼo Paulo) ki te Lotu Faka Sutea, neʼe lahi te ʼu fakataga ʼaē neʼe ina fai ki te ʼu tisipulo ʼa Kilisito. ʼI tana kei tūpulaga, neʼe lagolago ki te fakapogi ʼo Setefano. Ki muli age, neʼe lahi tana gaohi koviʼi ia te kau Kilisitiano. (Gaue 7:58; 8:1, 3; 1 Timoteo 1:13) Neʼe hoko atu tana fai ia “te ʼu fakamataku pea mo te ʼu fai fakapō ʼo fakafeagai ki te kau tisipulo ʼo te ʼAliki.” Neʼe mole gata ʼaki pe tana tuli te hahaʼi tui ʼi Selusalemi, kae neʼe ina hoko atu mo te fakatagaʼi ʼo nātou mai te potu noleto ʼo aʼu ki Tamaso.—Gaue 9:1, 2, MN.
4. Koteā te fetogi ʼaē neʼe tonu ke fai e Paulo moʼo fakahoko tana gāue?
4 Ko te tupuʼaga ʼo te fehiʼa mālohi ʼa Paulo ki te Lotu Faka Kilisitiano, heʼe ʼi tana manatu neʼe ko te lotu foʼou ʼaia ʼe fakatupu kovi anai ki te Lotu Faka Sutea, heʼe ina tali anai he ʼu akonaki foʼou ʼe mole lelei. Pea ko Paulo neʼe ko “he Faliseo,” ko tona faka ʼuhiga neʼe “ko he tahi neʼe tuku keheʼi.” (Gaue 23:6, MN ) Koutou fakakaukauʼi age muʼa te punamaʼuli ʼa Paulo ʼi tana ʼiloʼi ʼaē, logola neʼe ʼi ai te tahi kau Kilisitiano, kae neʼe fili ia ia e te ʼAtua ke ina faka mafola ia Kilisito ki te kau Senitile! (Gaue 22:14, 15; 26:16-18) Ko te kau Faliseo neʼe mole nātou fia kakai mo te hahaʼi ʼaē neʼe nātou ʼui ʼe ko te kau agahala! (Luka 7:36-39) ʼE mahino ia, neʼe tonu ke ina fai he toe fetogi lahi moʼo faka ʼalutahi tana manatu mo te finegalo ʼo te ʼAtua ʼaē ke ina hāofaki ia te hahaʼi kehekehe.—Kalate 1:13-17.
5. E feafeaʼi hatatou faʼifaʼitakiʼi ia Paulo ʼi tatatou minisitelio?
5 ʼE lagi tou fai mo tatou ia te gāue ʼaia. Kapau ʼe tou felāveʼi mo ni matāpule ʼi totatou telituale, ʼe tonu ke tou tōkakaga ki tatatou aga pea mo ʼaua naʼa tou fakapalatahi. (Efeso 4:22-24) Peʼe tou mahino kiai peʼe kailoa, kae ʼe tou mulimuli ki te ʼu agaʼi fenua ʼaē neʼe tutupu mo ia, pea mo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe akoʼi mai kiā tatou. ʼE feala ai ke tupu iā tatou he ʼu manatu fakapalatahi, pea mo he ʼu manatu fefeka. ʼE tonu ke tou tekeʼi te ʼu manatu ʼaia mo kapau ʼe tou fia maʼu te hahaʼi ʼaē ʼe hage ko ni ʼu ōvi pea mo tou tokoni kiā nātou. (Loma 15:7) Neʼe fai ia te faʼahi ʼaia e Paulo. Neʼe ina tali ke ina fakalahi tana minisitelio. ʼAki tona ʼofa ki te hahaʼi, neʼe liliu ʼo faiva ʼi te faiako pea ʼe ko he faʼahi ʼe tonu ke tou faʼifaʼitakiʼi. Ka tou ako te minisitelio ʼo te “ ʼapositolo . . . ʼo te ʼu puleʼaga,” pea ʼe tou mahino ai neʼe ko te tagata neʼe tokaga ki te hahaʼi, mo palalau ki te ʼu meʼa neʼe mahino kiai te hahaʼi, pea mo faiva ʼi te fai faka mafola pea mo te faiako. a—Loma 11:13, MN.
Neʼe Poto Palalau ʼi Te ʼu ʼAluʼaga Kehekehe ʼo Tana Minisitelio
6. Neʼe ʼiloga feafeaʼi te fakaʼapaʼapa ʼa Paulo ki te maʼuli ʼa te hahaʼi, pea neʼe koteā tona fua?
6 Neʼe fakaʼapaʼapa ia Paulo ki te tui ʼa te hahaʼi pea mo tonatou maʼuli. ʼI te temi ʼaē neʼe palalau ai ki te Hau ko Akilipa 2, neʼe fakamoʼoni e Paulo ko te hau ʼe ina “ ʼiloʼi lelei te ʼu agaʼi fenua fuli ʼo feiā mo te ʼu fihi ʼaē neʼe hoko ʼi te kau Sutea.” Neʼe poto ia Paulo ʼi te fakaʼaogaʼi ʼo te ʼu akonaki ʼaē neʼe faka tui kiai ia Akilipa, pea neʼe fai palalau mo te hau ki te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe mahino lelei kiai. Ko te ʼu fai palalau ʼa Paulo neʼe tāsilo lelei pea mo fakalotoʼi, koia neʼe tupu ai te ʼui fēnei ʼa Akilipa: “ ʼI he kiʼi temi siʼi pea ke faka tafoki au ke au liliu ko he Kilisitiano.”—Gaue 26:2, 3, 27, 28, MN.
7. ʼI tana fai faka mafola ki te hahaʼi ʼi Lisitala, neʼe fakahā feafeaʼi e Paulo tana poto ʼi te palalau ki te hahaʼi kehekehe?
7 Tahi ʼaē meʼa, neʼe poto Paulo ʼi te palalau ki te hahaʼi kehekehe. Koutou fakatokagaʼi tana faigaʼi ʼaē ke mole atolasio age te kaugamālie kiā ia pea mo Palenapasi ʼi te kolo ʼo Lisitala. ʼO ʼuhiga mo te hahaʼi ʼaia neʼe lea faka Likaonia, neʼe ʼui ʼe nātou kau ʼi te hahaʼi ʼaē neʼe mole faʼa lelei tanatou ako pea ʼe nātou faka tui ʼaupito ki te ʼu meʼa fakamanamana. Iā Gaue 14:14-18, neʼe ʼui e Paulo ko te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe faʼu, te ʼua pea mo te ʼu fasiga taʼu, ʼe ko te fakamoʼoni ʼaia ʼo te māʼoluga ʼaupito ʼo te ʼAtua moʼoni. Neʼe faigafua te mahino ki tana akonaki, pea ko he faʼahi neʼe ina “taofi ai te hahai tanatou failaulau” kiā Paulo pea mo Palenapasi.
8. Ko te ʼu ʼaluʼaga fea ʼaē neʼe fakahā ai e Paulo neʼe poto ʼi te palalau ki te hahaʼi kehekehe, logola ʼi ʼihi temi neʼe ʼita ai?
8 ʼE tou mahino lelei neʼe mole haohaoa ia Paulo pea ʼi ʼihi temi neʼe ʼi ʼita ʼaupito ai. Ohage la, ʼi te tahi ʼaho neʼe fakatō ki laloʼi ia ia pea mo hala tona fakatonutonuʼi, pea neʼe ina fai te ʼu tali palalau fefeka ki te tagata Sutea ʼe higoa ko Ananiasi. Kae ʼi te fakahā age kiā ia neʼe ina leakoviʼi te pelepitelo lahi, neʼe foimo fai fakalelei atu aipe ia Paulo he neʼe mole ina ʼiloʼi. (Gaue 23:1-5) ʼI Ateni, neʼe ʼuluaki “mamahi tona loto i tana mamata ki te kolo nee fonu ai ko te u taulaʼatua.” Kae ʼi tana akonaki ʼi te Moʼuga ʼo Malesio, neʼe lolomi e Paulo tona ʼita. Neʼe palalau ki te kau Ateni ʼi tonatou fakatahiʼaga, ʼo ina fai tana ʼu palalau ki te faʼahi ʼe nātou lava felogoi ai, ʼe ko tonatou ʼaletale ʼe tohi ai “Ki Te Atua Hee Ilo” pea mo ina fakahā age te higoa ʼo te tagata fai tuketuke.—Gaue 17:16-28.
9. Neʼe fakahā feafeaʼi e Paulo tona poto ʼi te felogoi mo te hahaʼi kehekehe?
9 Ka faiakonaki ia Paulo ki ni ʼu hahaʼi kehekehe, neʼe ina fakahā tona poto ʼi te felogoi mo te hahaʼi. Neʼe ina tokagaʼi tanatou ʼu agaʼi fenua pea mo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē neʼe akoʼi age kiā nātou. ʼI tana faitohi ki te kau Kilisitiano ʼo Loma, neʼe mahino ki tanatou māʼuʼuli ʼi te taulaga ʼo te mālohi lahi ʼo te temi ʼaia. Ko te puani tāfito ʼo te tohi ʼa Paulo ki te kau Kilisitiano ʼi Loma, ko tana talanoa ki te mālo ʼa te mālohi ʼo Kilisito moʼo totogi ia te agahala ʼa Atama ʼaē ʼe ina fakahalaʼi te hahaʼi. Neʼe ina fai te ʼu palalau neʼe malave ki te loto ʼo te kau Kilisitiano Loma pea mo nātou ʼaē ʼi ʼonatou tafaʼaki.—Loma 1:4; 5:14, 15.
10, 11. Neʼe feafeaʼi te ʼu lea fakatātā ʼaē neʼe fai e Paulo ki te hahaʼi? (Vakaʼi mo te kiʼi nota ʼi te lalo pasina.)
10 Koteā ʼaē neʼe fai e Paulo ʼi tana fia fakamahino ki te hahaʼi ia te ʼu moʼoni loloto ʼo te Tohi-Tapu? Moʼo fakamahino he ʼu manatu fakalaumālie faigataʼa, neʼe faiva ia te ʼapositolo ʼi te fakaʼaogaʼi ʼo te ʼu lea fakatātā ʼaē neʼe ʼiloʼi lelei e te hahaʼi pea mo nātou mahino gafua kiai. Ohage la, neʼe ʼiloʼi e Paulo ko te hahaʼi ʼo Loma neʼe nātou ʼiloʼi lelei te maʼuli ʼo te ʼu kaugana ʼi te Puleʼaga Loma. Pea tokolahi ʼi te hahaʼi ʼaē neʼe faitohi kiai, lagi neʼe ko te ʼu kaugana. Koia neʼe fakaʼaogaʼi ai e Paulo te maʼuli kaugana ko he fakatā moʼo lagolago ki tana fakamahino ia te puani maʼuhiga ʼo ʼuhiga mo takita filifili ke kita fakalogo ki te agahala peʼe ki te faitotonu.—Loma 6:16-20.
11 ʼE ʼui fēnei ʼi te tohi: “ ʼI te kau Loma, ko he tagata pule neʼe feala ke ina faka ʼāteaina hana sinifu, peʼe neʼe feala ki te kaugana ke ina totogi tona pule ke faka ʼāteaina ia ia. Neʼe toe feala ke fai he fakatuʼutuʼu ʼo ʼuhiga mo te faka ʼāteaina ʼo he sinifu mo kapau ko te pule neʼe ko he ʼatua.” Ko he sinifu kua faka ʼāteaina neʼe feala ke hoko atu tana gāue maʼa tona pule kae neʼe foaki age hona totogi. Lagi neʼe manatu ia Paulo ki te faʼahi ʼaia ʼi tana faitohi ʼo ʼuhiga mo te filifili ʼa he tahi peʼe ko ai te pule ʼaē ʼe fia fakalogo kiai—ko te agahala peʼe ko te faitotonu. Ko te kau Kilisitiano ʼi Loma neʼe faka ʼāteaina mai te agahala pea ʼi te temi nei ʼe nātou fakalogo ki te ʼAtua. Neʼe kua nātou ʼāteaina ke feala hanatou tauhi ki te ʼAtua, kae neʼe kei fakalogo kiā nātou mo kapau neʼe nātou loto kiai, ke nātou tauhi ki tonatou pule ʼāfea, ia te agahala. Ko te fakatā mahino faigafua ʼaia, neʼe ina uga te kau Kilisitiano takitokotahi ʼi Loma ke nātou fai te fehuʼi ʼaenī, ‘Ko ai te pule ʼaē ʼe au kaugana ki ai?’ b
