ʻE lava fēfē ke uesia ʻe he manavaheé ʻetau moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí?
ʻI hoʻo ako ʻa e 2 Tīmote 1, kumi ki ha tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻe lava ke ne tokoniʻi koe ke ikuʻi ʻa e manavaheé.
Naʻe hiki ʻe Paula ʻene tohi hono ua kia Tīmoté ʻi he lolotonga ʻene nofo pōpula ʻi Loma ʻi he ofi ki he fakaʻosinga ʻo ʻene moʻuí. Hangē ko hono lekooti ʻi he 2 Tīmote 1:1–5, naʻe fakahā ʻe Paula ʻene fie sio kia Tīmoté mo toe fakamatala ki he tui mateaki ʻa Tīmoté.
Lau ʻa e 2 Tīmote 1:6–8, ʻo kumi ki he meʻa naʻe fakamanatu ʻe Paula kia Tīmote ke ne fai ke ikuʻi ʻene manavaheé.
ʻOku hangē naʻe ʻuhinga ʻa e “meʻa foaki ʻa e ʻOtuá” naʻe maʻu ʻi hono hilifaki ʻo e nimá (2 Tīmote 1:6) ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní. ʻOku ʻuhinga ʻa e kupuʻi lea ko e “tafutafu” ʻi he veesi 6 ke tafunaki pe toe fakamoʻui . Naʻe faleʻi ʻe Paula ʻa Tīmote ke ne tafunaki ʻa e meʻafoaki ʻo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní, pe fakaafeʻi ʻa e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoní ke nofoʻia ʻiate ia.
Fakatatau ki he 2 Tīmote 1:7, ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi tāpuaki ʻe lava ke maʻu ʻi he nofoʻia kitautolu ʻe he Laumālié?
Naʻe lave ʻa Paula ki he manavahē fakatuʻasinó, ʻa ia ʻokú ne fakatupunga ʻa e loto-moʻua, taʻetaʻepau, mo e hohaʻa, pea ʻoku kehe ia mei he meʻa ʻoku pehē ʻi he folofolá “ko e manavahē [ki he ʻEikí]” (Lea Fakatātā 9:10). Ko e manavahē ki he ʻEikí “ko ha ongoʻi ʻapasia mo ʻaʻapa ia kiate Ia pea talangofua ki Heʻene ngaahi fekaú” (Fakahinohino ki he Ngaahi Folofolá, “Manavahē,” scriptures.lds.org). ʻE lava ke fakamālohia kitautolu ʻi heʻetau manavahē, pe ʻapasia, ki he ʻEikí ke tau fakafepakiʻi ʻa e manavahē fakatuʻasinó.
Ko e tefitoʻi moʻoni ʻe taha ʻe lava ke tau ako mei he faleʻi ʻa Paula kia Tīmoté ʻe lava ke tau ikuʻi ʻa e manavaheé mo ʻikai ke tau maaʻi ʻetau fakamoʻoni kia Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻi heʻetau feinga fakamātoato ke nofoʻia kitautolu ʻe he Laumālié.
Tali ‘a e ngaahi fehuʻi ko ‘ení ‘i hoʻo tohinoa ako folofolá:

Hangē ko hono lekooti ʻi he 2 Tīmote 1:9–18, naʻe fakalotolahi ʻa Paula kia Tīmote ke tuʻu maʻu ʻi heʻene tui mateaki ki he tokāteline ʻoku moʻoní. Naʻá ne fakamoʻoni ki he mālohi faifakahaofi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí, ʻa ia ʻoku malava ke hoko ai ʻa e Toetuʻú, moʻui taʻe faʻamaté, mo e moʻui taʻengatá.

Hangē ko hono lekooti ʻi he 2 Tīmote 2:1–9, naʻe fakalotolahi ʻa Paula kia Tīmote ke fakafalala ki he ongoongoleleí pea ke kātekina ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻá ʻo hangē ko ia ʻe fai ʻe ha tangata tau lelei. Naʻe toe pehē foki ʻe Paula naʻá ne fekuki mo ha ngaahi ʻahiʻahi lahi ʻi heʻene hoko ko e ākonga ʻa Kalaisi.

Naʻe faleʻi ʻe Paula ʻa Tīmote ʻi he 2 Tīmote 2:13–19 ke ne fakamanatu ki he Kāingalotú ke nau fakaʻehiʻehi mei he fakakikihí pea ke “afe ia mei he angahiá” (veesi 19). Fakakaukau ke fakaʻilongaʻi ʻa e sētesi fakaʻosi ʻi he 2 Tīmote 2:19.
