“Kotou tali . . . te heletā ʼo te laumālie, ʼaē ko te folafola ʼa te ʼAtua.”—EFE. 6:17.
1, 2. Koteā ʼaē ʼe tonu ke tou fai moʼo tali ki te ʼaoga ʼaē ke lahi age ia he kau fai fakamafola ʼo te Puleʼaga?
ʼI TANA sio ki te fakaʼofaʼofa ʼa te hahaʼi tokolahi ʼi te faʼahi fakalaumālie, neʼe ʼui fēnei e Sesu ki tana ʼu tisipulo: “Ko te taʼukai ʼe lahi, kae ʼe tokosiʼi te kau gāue. Kotou faikole ki te ʼAliki ʼo te taʼukai ke ina fekauʼi mai he kau gāue ki tana taʼukai.” Neʼe mole gata aipē Sesu ʼi tana ʼu palalau. ʼI tana ʼosi fai ia te ʼu palalau ʼaia, “neʼe ina pāui tana ʼu tisipulo ʼaē ʼe hogofulu-mā-lua” pea neʼe ina fekauʼi nātou ke natou ʼolo ʼo fai fakamafola, peʼe ke natou ‘tānaki te taʼukai.’ (Mat. 9:35-38; 10:1, 5) Ki muli age, ko Sesu neʼe ina “hinoʼi . . . te tahi ʼu tisipulo e toko fitugofulu ʼo ina fekauʼi taki toko lua ia nātou” ke natou fai ia te gāue ʼaia.—Luka 10:1, 2.
2 Iā ʼaho nei, ʼe kei ʼaoga pē he ʼu kaugā fai fakamafola ʼo te Puleʼaga ʼe lahi age. ʼI te mālamanei, ʼi te taʼu gāue 2009, neʼe ko te toko 18 168 323 hahaʼi ʼaē neʼe kau ki te ʼAho Fakamanatu. ʼI te kaugamālie ʼaia, neʼe ko te toko 10 miliona tupu hahaʼi neʼe mole ko he kau Fakamoʼoni ʼa Sehova. Kua tokalelei ia te ʼu gāueʼaga ki te tānaki ʼo te taʼukai. (Soa. 4:34, 35) Koia, ʼe tonu ai ke tou faikole ke lahi age ia he kau gāue. Kae koteā ʼaē ʼe feala ke tou fai ke tou mulimuli ki tatatou ʼu faikole? ʼE tou lava fai ia te faʼahi ʼaia, ʼaki hatatou liliu ko he kau minisi ʼe fua lelei age tatatou gāue, ʼo tou faʼafai ʼi te fakamafola ʼo te Puleʼaga pea mo te fai ʼo he ʼu tisipulo.—Mat. 28:19, 20; Mko. 13:10.
3. ʼE tokoni tāfito feafeaʼi kiā tātou ia te laumālie ʼo te ʼAtua ke tou liliu ko he ʼu minisi ʼe gāue lelei age?

Ko te faʼahiga fai ke lelei age tatatou minisitelio, ʼe ko he fakaʼaogaʼi lelei ʼo te meʼa gāue ʼaē neʼe foaki mai e Sehova ʼAtua, tana Folafola, ia te Tohi-Tapu. Ko te tohi ʼaia ʼe ko te fua ʼo te laumālie māʼoniʼoni. (2 Tim. 3:16) Ko te logo ʼaē ʼe tuʼu ai ʼe haʼu mai te ʼAtua. Koia, kā tou popoto ʼi te fakaʼaogaʼi ʼo te Tohi-Tapu ʼi tatatou minisitelio, pea ʼe takitaki ai tatatou ʼu palalau e te laumālie māʼoniʼoni. ʼI muʼa ʼo tatatou vakaʼi peʼe feafeaʼi hatatou fai ia te faʼahi ʼaia, tou fakakaukauʼi age muʼa pe feafeaʼi ia te mālohi ʼo te Folafola.
‘Ko Te Folafola ʼa Te ʼAtua ʼe Mālohi’
4. Koteā te ʼu fetogi ʼaē ʼe feala ke fai e he tahi ʼaki te logo ʼa te ʼAtua ʼaē ʼe maʼu ʼi te Tohi-Tapu?
4 Ko te folafola ʼa te ʼAtua ʼe ko he toe mālohi lahi! (Hep. 4:12) ʼI hona ʼaluʼaga fakatā, ko te logo ʼaē ʼe haʼu mai te Tohi-Tapu ʼe māsila age ʼi he heletā neʼe faʼu e te tagata, heʼe ʼi hona ʼaluʼaga fakatā, ʼe ina vaheʼi ia te ʼu hui pea mo tonatou ʼu gakoʼi hui. Ko te ʼu moʼoni ʼo te Tohi-Tapu ʼe malave ki te loto ʼo he tahi pea mo hū ki tana ʼu manatu pea mo te ʼu meʼa ʼaē ʼe ina logoʼi, ʼo ina fakahā ia te ʼu meʼa moʼoni ʼaē ʼi tona loto. ʼE feala ke gāue ai ia te mālohi ʼo te moʼoni ʼo ina fetogi he tahi, pea ina uga ai he tahi ke ina fai he ʼu fetogi lahi. (Lau ia Kolose 3:10.) ʼEī, ʼe feala ki te Folafola ʼa te ʼAtua ke ina fetogi te ʼu maʼuli!
5. Ko te ʼu faʼahi fea ʼaē ʼe feala ai ke takitaki tātou e te Tohi-Tapu, pea koteā tona fua?
5 Tahi ʼaē meʼa, ʼe maʼu ʼi te Tohi-Tapu ia te poto ʼaē ʼe mole lava maʼu ʼi he tahi age tohi. ʼE maʼu ai he logo maʼuhiga moʼo takitaki ia te maʼuli ʼo te hahaʼi ʼi te mālama faigataʼa ʼaenī. ʼE fakamālamaʼi e te Folafola ʼa te ʼAtua ia tatatou haʼele ʼaē ʼi te temi nei pea mo ina toe taki ia totatou ala. (Pes. 119:105) ʼE ko he toe tokoni lahi mokā tou tau mo he ʼu faigataʼaʼia peʼe mokā tonu ke tou fai he ʼu puleʼaki ʼo ʼuhiga mo te filifili ʼo hotatou ʼu kaumeʼa, mo tatatou ʼu fakafiafia, mo he gāue, mo he ʼu mutuʼi meʼa pea mo ʼihi atu ʼu faʼahi. (Pes. 37:25; Taag. 13:20; Soa. 15:14; 1 Tim. 2:9) Ko te maʼuliʼi ʼo te ʼu pelesepeto ʼaē ʼe tou maʼu ʼi te Folafola ʼa te ʼAtua, ʼe fakafealagia ai kiā tātou ke tou tokalelei mo te hahaʼi. (Mat. 7:12; Filp. 2:3, 4) ʼI te fakamālamaʼi ʼo totatou ala, ʼe feala ai ke tou maʼu ki muli age ia te ʼu fua ʼo te ʼu tonu ʼaē neʼe tou fai. (1 Tim. 6:9) ʼE toe fakakikite ʼi te Tohi-Tapu ia te fakatuʼutuʼu ʼa te ʼAtua ʼo ʼuhiga mo te kā haʼu, ʼo tokoni mai ai kiā tātou ke tou māʼuʼuli ʼo fakaʼalutahi mo te fakatuʼutuʼu ʼaia. (Mat. 6:33; 1 Soa. 2:17, 18) ʼE feala ke maʼu e he tahi he maʼuli ʼe ʼi ai hona ʼuhiga, mo kapau ʼi tona maʼuli ʼe mulimuli ki te ʼu pelesepeto ʼa te ʼAtua.
6. ʼE liliu feafeaʼi ia te Tohi-Tapu ko he mahafu mālohi ʼi tatatou tau fakalaumālie?
6 Kotou toe fakakaukauʼi age mo te mahafu mālohi ʼaē ko te Tohi-Tapu ʼi tatatou tau fakalaumālie. Neʼe fakahigoaʼi e Paulo ia te Folafola ʼa te ʼAtua ko “te heletā ʼo te laumālie.” (Lau ia Efesi 6:12, 17.) Kā tou fakahā lelei ia te logo ʼaia ʼo te Tohi-Tapu, pea ʼe feala ke fakaʼāteaina ai ia te hahaʼi mai te pule ʼa Satana. ʼE ko he heletā ʼe ina haofaki te hahaʼi, kae ʼe mole ina matehi nātou. ʼE mole tonu koa lā ke tou faiga ke tou popoto ʼi tona fakaʼaogaʼi?

Neʼe tohi fēnei e Paulo: “Faiga fakamālotoloto ke ke tuʼu iā muʼa ʼo te ʼAtua ohagē ko he tagata ʼe ina tali lelei, ko he tagata gāue ʼe mole ufiufi ʼi he meʼa, ʼe ina fakaʼaogaʼi lelei te folafola ʼo te moʼoni.”—2 Tim. 2:15.

Neʼe ina tohi fēnei: “Neʼe pāui totonu koutou ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼāteaina; tokaga pē, ʼaua naʼa kotou fakaʼaoga te ʼāteaina ʼaia ohagē ko he fealagia ki te kakano; kae, ʼaki te ʼofa, kotou fetauhiʼaki ia koutou ohagē ko he ʼu kaugana.” Ko te ʼāteaina fea ʼaē neʼe talanoa kiai Paulo ʼi henī? Neʼe talanoa koa Paulo ki te ʼāteaina ʼaē mai te agahala mo te mate, peʼe ki te ʼāteaina ʼaē mai te pōpula ki te ʼu akonaki hala, peʼe mai he tahi age meʼa? Ko te ʼu vaega ʼaē ʼe tuʼu ʼi muʼa pea mo ʼaē ʼe hoa mai kiai, ʼe fakahā ai neʼe talanoa Paulo ʼo ʼuhiga mo te ʼāteaina ʼaē ʼe hoko mokā ‘fakamavae he tahi mai te malaʼia ʼo te Lao.’ (Kal. 3:13, 19-24; 4:1-5) Neʼe talanoa ki te ʼāteaina ʼaē ʼe tou maʼu ʼi tatatou muliʼi ia Kilisito. Ko nātou ʼaē ʼe natou fakafetaʼi ki te fakaʼāteaina ʼaia, ʼe natou fetauhiʼaki ʼi te ʼofa. Ko nātou ʼaē ʼe mole iā nātou ia te ʼofa, ʼe natou fekēʼaki pea mo fetauʼaki.—Kal. 5:15.

(Teu. 6:16; 8:3; 10:20; Mat. 4:4, 7, 10) ʼE tonu ke tou manatuʼi ia te tokoni ʼaenī neʼe fai e te ʼapositolo ko Petelo: “Kotou tapuhā ʼi tokotou ʼu loto ia Kilisito ʼaē ko te ʼAliki, kotou nonofo teuteu tuʼumaʼu moʼo tali kiā nātou ʼaē ʼe natou fehuʼi atu te tupuʼaga ʼo takotou falala, kae kotou tali ʼaki he agamalū pea mo he fakaʼapaʼapa lahi.”—1 Pet. 3:15.
