ʻEfesō 4:1–16

ʻOku akoʻi ʻe Paula ʻa e mahuʻinga ʻo e Siasi ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí

Fakakaukau ki he ongo fakatātā ko ʻení:

  • ʻOku kole ʻe hoʻo faiako ʻi he akó ki he kalasí ke nau ʻomai ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú fekau mo ha kaveinga faingataʻa. ʻI he vahevahe ʻe he kau akó ʻenau ngaahi fakakaukaú, ʻokú ke fakatokangaʻi ʻoku tokolahi ange ʻa e poupou ki ha tuʻunga ʻoku kehe ia mei he ngaahi akonaki ʻa e Siasí.

Ko e hā ʻe lava ke faingataʻa ai ha ngaahi tūkunga peheni ki ha mēmipa ʻo e Siasí?

ʻI hoʻo ako ʻa e ʻEfesō 4:1–16, kumi ki ha moʻoni fekauʻaki mo e founga ʻe lava ke ke ʻilo ai ʻa e meʻa ʻoku tonú mo ia ʻoku halá ʻi ha māmani ʻoku feliuliuaki ai ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻoku fakamahuʻingaʻí mo e ngaahi tuí.

Ko e hā ʻokú ke pehē naʻe ʻuhinga ki ai ʻa Paula ʻi he taimi naʻá ne akoʻi ai ko e “ʻEiki pē taha, ko e tui pē taha, ko e papitaiso pē taha” ( ʻEfesō 4:5)?

ʻI he taimi ʻo Paulá, pea ʻi hotau taimí, ʻoku taha pē ʻa e Siasi moʻoni ʻo Sīsū Kalaisí ʻi he funga ʻo e māmaní (vakai T&F 1:30).

Hangē ko hono lekooti ʻi he ʻEfesō 4:7–10, ne akoʻi ʻe Paula kuo ʻomi maʻatautolu kotoa ʻa e faingamālie ke maʻu ʻa e meʻaʻofa ʻo e ʻaloʻofa ʻa e ʻOtuá (Hono mālohi ke fakahaofi kitautolú) ʻo fakafou mai ʻi he Fakalelei ʻa Sīsū Kalaisí. Naʻá ne toe akoʻi foki kuo ʻomi ʻe Kalaisi mo ha ngaahi meʻaʻofa kehe maʻá e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá.

Hangē ko ʻení, naʻe akoʻi ʻe he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá “Ko e ʻevangelioó ko e Pēteliake” (Ngaahi Akonaki ʻa e Kau Palesiteni ʻo e Siasí: Siosefa Sāmita [2007], 159).
