Study the Principle of Learning: Learn by Study and by Faith

Ha’api’i mai ma te ’imira’a maita’i ’e ma te fa’aro’o.

In EnglishConnect, we rely on God to learn by study and by faith.

I roto te EnglishConnect, e tūru’i tātou i ni’a i te Atua nō te ha’api’i mai ma te ’imira’a maita’i ’e ma te fa’aro’o.

I te matahiti 1832, ’ua fa’ari’i Iosepha Semita ’e te tahi o te feiā fa’atere mātāmua nō Te ’Ēkālesia a Iesu Mesia i te Feiā Mo’a i te mau Mahana Hope’a nei i te fa’auera’a ’ia ha’amau i te hō’ē fare ha’api’ira’a. ’Ua hina’aro te Atua ia rātou ’ia ha’api’i mai, ’ia tupu i te rahi, ’e ’ia ineine nō te arata’i ia vetahi ’ē. ’Aita tā teie pupu o te mau melo e parau tū’ite nō te fare ha’api’ira’a tuatoru ’aita ato’a e ha’api’ira’a teitei a’e. ’Aita tā rātou e faufa’a moni rahi ’aita ato’a e mau rāve’a tauturu. I roto i te mau pāpa’ira’a mo’a, ’ua ha’api’i te Atua ia rātou te hō’ē hōho’a nō te ha’api’ira’a mai :

« ’E nō te mea ’aore i noa’a i te ta’ata ato’a te fa’aro’o, ’a ’imi itoito ’outou ’e ’a ha’api’i atu te tahi i te tahi i te mau parau nō te pa’ari ; ’oia ïa, ’a ’imi na ’outou i roto i te mau buka maita’i roa a’e i te mau parau nō te pa’ari ; ’a ’imi ho’i i te ’ite, ’oia ïa nā roto i te ha’api’i ’e nā roto ato’a i te fa’aro’o » (Te Ha’api’ira’a Tumu ’e te mau Fafaura’a 88:118).

Tē ha’api’i nei te Atua ē, e ti’a ia tātou ’ia ha’api’i mai ma te ’imira’a maita’i, ’e e ti’a ato’a ia tātou ’ia ha’api’i mai ma te fa’aro’o. E hōro’a tātou i tā tātou tauto’ora’a maita’i a’e, ’e e ani tātou i te Atua ’ia tono mai i tōna Vārua nō te ’īriti i tō tātou ferurira’a ’e tō tātou ’ā’au nō te ha’api’i mai. E hōro’a mai te Vārua ia tātou i te māramarama hau atu i te ti’a ia tātou iho ’ia fa’ari’i. E nehenehe te hō’ē ’orometua maita’i ’aore rā te hō’ē buka ha’api’ira’a maita’i e tauturu, e nehenehe rā te Atua e ha’api’i ia tātou noa atu ’aita tātou teie mau mea. ’A ha’api’i mai ai tātou ma te ’imira’a maita’i ’e ma te fa’aro’o, e nehenehe te Atua e tauturu ia tātou ’ia ha’api’i hau mai ā i tei mana’ohia e tātou.
