Kae kapau ʼe haʼele te kau Kilisitiano ʼaki te laumālie māʼoniʼoni, ʼe tou tui papau ʼe fakatuʼuake e Sehova ia Sesu mai te mate pea mo fakanofo ia ia ki he tuʼulaga ʼe māʼoluga age ʼi te ʼu meʼa fuli ʼaē neʼe ina fakatupu.

5 Ko ʼihi ʼi te ʼuluaki sēkulō ʼo totatou temi neʼe natou lau ʼe natou Kilisitiano neʼe natou fakafisi ko Sesu neʼe tupu tagata. (2 Soane 7-11) Ko te tali ʼo te manatu hala ʼaia neʼe ina uga ʼihi ke natou situʼa ki te ʼu akonaki moʼoni ʼo ʼuhiga mo Sesu, te Mēsia. (Maleko 1:9-11; Soane 1:1, 14) Kae ko te haʼele ʼaki te laumālie māʼoniʼoni ʼe ina tāʼofi tātou ke mole tou higa ki te ʼu taʼi akonaki faka ʼapositā ʼaia. Kae kapau ʼe tou nonofo tōkakaga ʼi te faʼahi fakalaumālie, pea ʼe tou haga maʼu ai ia te ʼofa makehe ʼo Sehova pea mo tou “haga haʼele . . . ʼi te moʼoni.” (3 Soane 3, 4) Koia tou tekeʼi mālohi ia te ʼu faʼahiga ʼapositasia fuli, ke tou felōgoi tuʼumaʼu mo tatatou Tamai ʼaē ʼe ʼi selō.
6. Ko te ʼu kalitātē fea ʼe fakatupu e te laumālie ʼo te ʼAtua iā nātou ʼaē ʼe natou haʼele ʼaki te laumālie?
6 Neʼe faka kau e Paulo te tauhi faka ʼapositā pea mo te ʼu magaʼi lotu ki te “ ʼu gāue ʼo te kakano” ohagē lā ko te folonikāsio pea mo te aga heʼemaʼa. Kae neʼe ina fakamahino fēnei: “Ko nātou ʼaē ʼe kau kiā Kilisito Sesu, kua natou haʼi ki te pou ia te kakano, mo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe manako mālohi kiai pea mo tona ʼu holi. Kapau ʼe tou maʼuli ʼaki te laumālie, ʼe tou haga haʼele foki ʼaki te laumālie, ʼi hona ʼaluʼaga fakatokatoka.” (Kalate 5:19-21, 24, 25) Ko te ʼu kalitātē fea ʼe fakatupu e te mālohi gāue ʼo te ʼAtua iā nātou ʼaē ʼe natou maʼuli pea mo haʼele ʼaki te laumālie? Neʼe tohi fēnei e Paulo: “Ko te fua ʼo te laumālie ʼe ko te ʼofa, te fiafia, te tokalelei, te kātaki fualoa, te lotoʼofa, te agalelei, te tui, te agamalū, te loto lolomi.” (Kalate 5:22, 23) Tou vakaʼi age muʼa te ʼu faʼahi ʼaia ʼo te fua ʼo te laumālie.

7 Ko te ʼofa, ʼaē ʼe ko he kalitātē ʼo te fua ʼo te laumālie māʼoniʼoni, ʼi te agamāhani ʼe pipiki ki he ʼu felōgoi mālohi pea mo he tokaga fakamālotoloto ki niʼihi, ʼo fakatahiʼi kiai he ʼofa fakamālotoloto. Ko te Tohi-Tapu ʼe ina ʼui “ko te ʼAtua ʼe ʼofa” koteʼuhi ʼe ina fakatātā lelei ia te kalitātē ʼaia. Neʼe hā lelei te ʼofa lahi ʼo te ʼAtua pea mo tona ʼAlo ki te mālamanei ʼi te sākilifisio faitotogi ʼo Sesu Kilisito. (1 Soane 4:8; Soane 3:16; 15:13; Loma 5:8) ʼI totatou ʼuhiga tisipulo ʼa Sesu, ʼe ʼiloʼi ai ia tātou ʼi te ʼofa ʼaē ʼe tou fefakahāʼaki. (Soane 13:34, 35) ʼIo, ʼe fakatotonu mai ke tou “feʼofaʼaki.” (1 Soane 3:23) Pea ʼe ʼui mai e Paulo ko te ʼofa ʼe kātaki fualoa pea mo lotoʼofa. Ko te ʼofa ʼe mole maheka, ʼe mole laupisi, ʼe mole ina fai he ʼu aga ʼe mole mata feʼauga, ʼe mole ina kumi pē te meʼa ʼaē ʼe ʼaoga kiā te ia.

Ko te ʼofa ʼe ina ʼamo ia meʼa fuli, ʼe tui kiā meʼa fuli, ʼe falala kiā meʼa fuli, ʼe ina kātakiʼi ia meʼa fuli. Pea ko te ʼofa ʼe molemo puli ia.—1 Kolonito 13:4-8.
8. He koʼē ʼe tonu ke tou fakahā totatou ʼofa ki ʼotatou tehina mo tuagaʼane ʼaē ʼe tauhi kiā Sehova?
8 Kapau ʼe tou tuku ia te laumālie māʼoniʼoni ʼo te ʼAtua ke ina fakatupu iā tātou ia te ʼofa, pea ko te kalitātē ʼaia ʼe ina faka fealagia anai ke tou felōgoi mo te ʼAtua pea mo totatou ʼu tatau. (Mateo 22:37-39) Neʼe tohi fēnei e te ʼapositolo ko Soane: “Ko ʼaē ʼe mole ʼofa ʼe nofo ia ʼi te mate. Ko ʼaē ʼe fehiʼa ki tona tehina ʼe ko he tagata fai fakapō ia, pea ʼe kotou ʼiloʼi ʼe mole he tagata fai fakapō ʼe iā te ia te maʼuli heʼegata.” (1 Soane 3:14, 15) Neʼe hoki feala pē ki he tagata fai fakapō ke hola ki he kolo haofaki ʼi Iselaele mo kapau neʼe mole fehiʼa ki ʼaē neʼe ina matehi. (Teutalonome 19:4, 11-13) Kapau ʼe takitaki tātou e te laumālie māʼoniʼoni, pea ʼe tou fakahā anai totatou ʼofa ʼaē ki te ʼAtua, mo totatou ʼu tehina mo tuagaʼane, pea mo te hahaʼi.
“Ko Te Fiafia ʼa Sehova ʼe Ko Tokotou Kolo Tau”
9, 10. Koteā te faka ʼuhiga ʼo te fiafia, pea koteā te ʼu tupuʼaga ʼaē ʼe tou fiafia ai?
9 Ko te fiafia ʼe ko he ʼaluʼaga fakatupu fīmālie lahi. Ko Sehova ʼe ko “te ʼAtua fiafia.” (1 Timoteo 1:11; Pesalemo 104:31) ʼE fiafia te ʼAlo ʼi te fai ʼo te finegalo ʼo tana Tamai. (Pesalemo 40:8; Hepeleo 10:7-9) Pea “ko te fiafia ʼa Sehova ʼe ko [totatou] kolo tau.”—Nehemia 8:10.

(Tāʼaga Lea 2:1-5) Ko tatatou ʼu felōgoi fakafiafia mo te ʼAtua ʼe fakatafito ki te ʼatamai mālama, pea mo tatatou tui ʼaē kiā te ia pea mo te sākilifisio faitotogi ʼa Sesu. (1 Soane 2:1, 2) ʼE tou toe fiafia heʼe tou kau ki te fāmili fale tautēhina moʼoni pē e tahi ʼi te mālamanei kātoa. (Sofonia 3:9; Asea 2:7) Ko tatatou ʼamanaki ki te Puleʼaga pea mo te pilivilēsio lahi ʼo te faka mafola ʼo te logo lelei ʼe fakatupu fiafia kiā tātou. (Mateo 6:9, 10; 24:14) ʼE tou toe fiafia foki ʼi te ʼamanaki ki te maʼuli heʼegata. (Soane 17:3) Kapau ʼe tou maʼu ia te ʼamanaki lahi ʼaia, pea ʼe ‘tou fiafia pē.’—Teutalonome 16:15.

11, 12. (a) ʼE feafeaʼi anai hakotou fakamahino ia te tokalelei? (b) ʼE malave feafeaʼi kiā tātou ia te tokalelei ʼo te ʼAtua?
11 Ko te tokalelei, ʼaē ʼe ko he tahi faʼahi ʼo te fua ʼo te laumālie māʼoniʼoni, ʼe ko he ʼaluʼaga fīmālie pea mo ʼāteaina mai he loto hoha. Ko tatatou Tamai ʼaē ʼe ʼi selō ʼe ko te ʼAtua ʼo te tokalelei, pea ʼe tou maʼu te fakapapau ʼaenī: “Ko Sehova totonu ʼe ina tapuakina anai tana hahaʼi ʼaki te tokalelei.” (Pesalemo 29:11; 1 Kolonito 14:33) Neʼe ʼui fēnei e Sesu ki tana ʼu tisipulo: “ ʼE au tuku atu kiā koutou te tokalelei, ʼe au foaki atu kiā koutou toku tokalelei.” (Soane 14:27) ʼE tokoni feafeaʼi anai ia te faʼahi ʼaia ki tana kau tisipulo?
12 Ko te tokalelei ʼaē neʼe foaki age e Sesu ki tana ʼu tisipulo, neʼe ina fakafīmālie ʼonatou loto pea mo ʼonatou ʼatamai pea mo fakasiʼisiʼi tanatou mataku. Kae neʼe natou maʼu tāfito ia te tokalelei ʼi te temi ʼaē neʼe natou maʼu ai te laumālie māʼoniʼoni ʼaē neʼe fakapapauʼi age. (Soane 14:26) ʼAki te takitaki ʼa te laumālie pea mo te tali ʼo ʼatatou faikole iā ʼaho nei, ʼe tou maʼu ia te ‘tokalelei makehe ʼo te ʼAtua,’ ʼaē ʼe ina fakafīmālieʼi ʼaupitō ʼotatou loto pea mo ʼotatou ʼatamai. (Filipe 4:6, 7) Tahi ʼaē, ko te laumālie ʼo Sehova ʼe tokoni mai ke tou felōgoi lelei pea mo maʼuli tokalelei mo ʼotatou tehina mo tuagaʼane pea mo ʼihi.—Loma 12:18; 1 Tesalonika 5:13.
13, 14. Koteā te faka ʼuhiga ʼo te kātaki fualoa, pea he koʼē ʼe tonu ke tou maʼu ia te kalitātē ʼaia?
13 ʼE pipiki te kātaki fualoa ki te tokalelei, heʼe tou kātakiʼi he fakafifihi peʼe ko he agakovi heʼe tou falala ʼe fetogi anai te ʼaluʼaga ʼaia. Ko te ʼAtua ʼe kātaki fualoa. (Loma 9:22-24) Neʼe toe fakahā e Sesu ia te kalitātē ʼaia. ʼE lava ʼaoga kiā tātou ia te fakahā e Sesu ia te kalitātē ʼaia, he neʼe tohi fēnei e Paulo: “Koʼē te tupuʼaga ʼo te manavaʼofa mai kiā te au: ke feala ʼaki ia au ʼaē neʼe agahala tāfito ke fakahā ki ai e Sesu Kilisito ia tana faʼa kātaki lahi, pea ke au liliu ko he faʼifaʼitakiʼaga kiā nātou ʼaē kā tui anai kiā te ia ʼo ʼuhiga mo te maʼuli heʼegata.”—1 Timoteo 1:16.
14 Ko te kātaki fualoa ʼe tokoni mai ke tou ʼūtakiʼi mokā ʼui mai peʼe fai mai e niʼihi he ʼu aga ʼe kovi peʼe neʼe mole fakakaukauʼi. Neʼe fakaloto mālohiʼi fēnei e Paulo tona ʼu tehina mo tuagaʼane: “Kotou kātaki fualoa ki te hahaʼi fuli.” (1 Tesalonika 5:14) Mai tona ʼaluʼaga ʼaē ʼe tou heʼe haohaoa pea mo tou agahala fuli, ʼe mahino ia ʼe tou loto anai ki te hahaʼi ke natou kātakiʼi tātou, ke natou kātaki fualoa mokā tou hala age kiā nātou. Koia, tou “kātaki fualoa ʼaki he loto fiafia.”—Kolose 1:9-12.
Tou Fakahā Ia Te Lotoʼofa Pea Mo Te Agalelei
15. Fakamahino ia te lotoʼofa, pea mo tuku mai he ʼu faʼifaʼitaki ʼo he ʼu lotoʼofa.
15 ʼE tou lotoʼofa mokā tou tōkakaga ki niʼihi ʼaki he ʼu palalau fakakaumeʼa pea mo fakaloto mālohi pea ʼaki he ʼu aga. Ko Sehova ʼe lotoʼofa, ʼo fēia mo tona ʼAlo. (Loma 2:4; 2 Kolonito 10:1) ʼE tonu ki te ʼu kaugana ʼa te ʼAtua pea mo Kilisito ke natou lotoʼofa. (Mikea 6:8; Kolose 3:12) Māʼiapē lā mo ʼihi ʼaē neʼe mole felōgoi lelei mo te ʼAtua kae neʼe natou fakahā “te tali kāiga makehe.” (Gāue 27:3; 28:2) Koia ʼe tonu ai ke tou lotoʼofa mo kapau ʼe tou “haga haʼele ʼaki te laumālie.”
16. Ko te ʼu ʼaluʼaga fea ʼe tonu ai ke tou lotoʼofa?
16 ʼE feala pē ke tou lotoʼofa tatau aipē mo kapau ʼe tou ʼita tonu he neʼe fai mai e he tahi ni ʼu palalau fakatupu lotomamahi peʼe ko he aga ʼe mole lelei. Neʼe ʼui fēnei e Paulo: “Ke ʼaua naʼa tō te laʼā ki tokotou ʼita, pea mo fakagafua he faigamālie ki te Tēvolo. . . . Kotou liliu ʼo feagaleleiʼaki, fonu ʼi te manavaʼofa, ʼo kotou fefakamolemoleʼaki, ohagē ko te fakamolemole ʼa te ʼAtua kiā koutou ʼaki ia Kilisito.” (Efesi 4:26, 27, 32) ʼE tonu tāfito ke tou lotoʼofa kiā nātou ʼaē ʼe natou tau mo te ʼu fihifihia. ʼE mole lotoʼofa anai he tagata ʼāfea mo kapau neʼe mole ina foaki he tokoni faka Tohi-Tapu ʼuhi pē ke ʼaua naʼa lotomamahi he tahi kua tuʼutāmaki moʼoni ʼi tana kua situʼa ʼi te ala ʼo te “agalelei pea mo te faitotonu pea mo te moʼoni.”—Efesi 5:9.
17, 18. ʼE fakamahino feafeaʼi te agalelei, pea ʼe tonu ke hā feafeaʼi te kalitātē ʼaia ʼi totatou maʼuli?
17 Ko te agalelei ʼe ko he vilitūtē, mo he aga fakapoipoi, peʼe ko he kalitātē lelei. Ko te ʼAtua ʼe agalelei ʼaupitō. (Pesalemo 25:8; Sakalia 9:17) Ko Sesu ʼe vilitūtē pea ʼe ina maʼu te aga fakapoipoi. Kae neʼe mole ina tali te kupu “Agalelei” ohagē ko he higoa faka tuʼulaga ʼi te temi ʼaē neʼe toʼo age kiā ia ko te “Faiako Agalelei.” (Maleko 10:17, 18) Pea neʼe lakatonu ia he neʼe ina ʼiloʼi lelei ko te ʼAtua pē ʼe agalelei tokotahi.

(Loma 5:12) Kae ʼe tou lava fakahā ia te kalitātē ʼaia mo kapau ʼe tou kole ki te ʼAtua ke ina ‘akoʼi mai kiā tātou ia te agalelei.’ (Pesalemo 119:66) Neʼe ʼui e Paulo ki tona ʼu tehina mo tuagaʼane ʼi Loma: “ ʼE toe fēia mo au ʼe au ʼiloʼi papau ʼo ʼuhiga mo koutou, ʼoku tehina, ʼe kotou toe fonu mo koutou ʼi te agalelei, ʼi te kua fakafonu ʼo koutou ʼi te ʼiloʼi ʼo te meʼa fuli ʼe tonu ke ʼiloʼi.” (Loma 15:14) Ko he taupau Kilisitiano ʼe tonu ko “he kaumeʼa ʼo te agalelei.” (Tito 1:7, 8) Kapau ʼe tou tuku ke takitaki tātou e te laumālie ʼo te ʼAtua, ʼe ʼiloa anai tātou ko he tahi ʼe agalelei, pea ko Sehova ʼe ina ‘manatuʼi anai tātou ʼuhi ko te lelei ʼaē ʼe tou fai.’—Nehemia 5:19; 13:31.

19 Ko te tui, ʼaē ʼe ko he tahi ʼaia faʼahi ʼo te fua ʼo te laumālie māʼoniʼoni, “ ʼe ko he ʼamanaki moʼoni ki he ʼu meʼa ʼe tou falala kiai, ko te fakamoʼoni lelei ʼo te ʼu moʼoni logopē lā ʼe mole tou sisio kiai.” (Hepeleo 11:1) Kapau ʼe tou tui, ʼe tou ʼiloʼi papau ko meʼa fuli ʼe fakapapau mai e Sehova ʼe lelei. Pea ʼi tatatou tui mālohi ki te ʼu moʼoni ʼaia ʼe mole tou sisio kiai, koia ʼaē ʼe feala ke fakatatau ai te tui ki he fakamoʼoni.

Kapau ʼe tou falala kiā Sehova ʼaki totatou loto kātoa, ʼe tou maʼuli fiafia anai ʼi te temi nei pea ʼe feala anai hatatou haga haʼele ʼo talu ai ʼi te ʼu ala faitotonu ʼo te ʼAtua ʼaē ʼe ina foaki mai te laumālie māʼoniʼoni.—Pesalemo 128:1; Tāʼaga Lea 3:5, 6.
