Naʻá ne hiki heʻene tohinoá ʻo pehē:

“Ko e fakaʻauha kovi taha kuó u siotonu aí, naʻá ku sio ai he ʻahó ni. … ʻI heʻeku fononga atu ʻi he ngaahi hala lalahi [ʻo Pealiní] mo lue atu ʻi ha ngaahi hala naʻe ʻikai lava ʻo lele ai e meʻalelé, naʻá ku … mamata ki ha fefine fiekaia heʻene totongi fiefia ha paʻanga lahi ki ha kiliʻi pateta. … Naʻá ku mamata ki ha kau tangata mo ha kau fafine toulekeleka mo ha fanga kiʻi toki ʻoku nau keli vēkeveke ha ngaahi tungaʻi ʻakau mo ha ngaahi aka ko e feinga ke maʻu ha kihiʻi fefie pea toho kinautolu ʻi ha laumaile ki ʻapi ʻi ha meʻa pē ʻe lava ʻo teká—ʻi ha saliote veʻe ua iiki naʻe hoko ʻi ha taimi ko ha kiʻi saliote pēpē ʻo aʻu ki ha fanga kiʻi saliote iiki—hangē ha fanga monumanu mo ha kavenga mamafá.

Te tau lava ʻo maʻu ha ʻamanaki lelei ki he kahaʻú, fakatuʻamelie ki heʻetau ngaahi ngāue lolotongá, mo ha loto nonga, ʻi heʻetau tui ki he Tamai Hēvaní.

Te tau loto taʻe-fiemālie kotoa pē mo loto foʻi—ko e konga ia ʻo e moʻuí. Ka, ʻo kapau te tau maʻu e tuí, ʻe fuonounou pē ʻa e ngaahi meʻa fakatutá kiate kitautolu pea ʻe hoko ha ikuna ʻi he ngaahi meʻa ʻoku hangē ʻoku tau taʻe-malavá. ʻE lava ke fakahoko ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ha ngaahi mana ʻiate kitautolu takitaha kapau ʻe tuku hotau lotó mo ʻetau falalá kiate Ia.5

Ko ha tāpuaki maʻongoʻonga ke maʻu ha loto nonga, ke maʻu ha ʻilo fakapapau, ke maʻu ʻa e laumālie ʻo e ongoʻi nongá mo e fiemālié ʻi he taimi ʻo e fekeʻikeʻí mo e faingataʻá, ʻi he taimi ʻo e mamahí mo e fakaholoholomuí. ʻOku fakafiemālie ki he laumālié ke ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻi he fohé ʻa e ʻOtuá, ʻokú Ne tokaimaʻananga ki Heʻene fānaú, pea te tau lava ʻo falala kakato kiate Ia.6

Ko e lotú—ʻa e lotu fakamātoató—te ne lava ʻo ʻai ke tau fetuʻutaki mo e ʻOtuá, ʻa hotau maʻuʻanga fakafiemālié mo e faleʻi lelei taha. “Lotu maʻu ai pē, koeʻuhí ke ke lava ʻo ikuna.” (T&F 10:5.) Ko e anga ʻeni hono fakamatalaʻi ʻe he talavou ko Siosefa Sāmitá ʻa e founga naʻá ne fakaʻaongaʻi ʻi he Vaoʻakau Tapú ke taʻofi ʻaki e filí mei hono fakaʻauha iá, “Naʻá ku feinga ʻaki hoku mālohi kotoa pē ke ui ki he ʻOtuá ke Ne fakahaofi au.” (SS—H 1:16.)7

Ka ʻikai ke tau tui ki heʻetau Tamai Hēvaní, he ʻikai ke tau lava ʻo ikuna. ʻOku ʻomi ʻe he tuí kiate kitautolu ha vīsone ki he meʻa ʻe ala hokó, ha ʻamanaki lelei ki he kahaʻú, mo ha fakatuʻamelie ki heʻetau ngaahi ngāue lolotongá. ʻOku ʻikai haʻatau veiveiua, ko e feituʻu ʻoku ʻi ai ʻa e tuí ʻe ola lelei taha ai ʻa e ngāué.8

ʻOku totonu ke hoko kitautolu Kau Māʻoniʻoni ʻi he Ngaahi ʻAho Kimui Ní ko e kakai fakatuʻamelie taha mo siʻi taha ʻetau fakatuʻatamakí ʻi he kakai kotoa pē. He neongo ʻoku tau ʻilo “ʻe toʻo atu … ʻa e melinó mei he māmaní, pea ʻe maʻu ʻe he tēvoló ʻa e mālohi ki hono puleʻanga ʻoʻoná,” ʻoku toe fakapapauʻi mai foki kiate kitautolu “ʻe maʻu…ʻe he ʻEikí ʻa e mālohi ki hono kakai māʻoniʻoní, pea te ne pule ʻi honau lotolotongá.” (T&F 1:35–36.)

ʻI he fakamahino ko ia ʻe kei tuʻu maʻu ʻa e Siasí mo tataki ia ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he ngaahi taimi faingataʻá ʻamui, ʻoku hoko leva ko hotau fatongia fakatāutaha ke fakapapauʻi ʻoku tau tauhi faivelenga ki he Siasí mo hono ngaahi akonakí. “Ka ko ia ia ʻe tuʻu maʻu ʻo ʻikai vaivaí, ʻe fakamoʻui ia.” (SS—Mātiu 1:11.)9

Ko e fiefiá kuo pau ke ngāueʻi mei he ʻaho ki he ʻaho, ka ʻoku mahuʻinga hono ngāueʻí.

ʻOku ʻikai ha ʻuhinga ke tau fuʻu hohaʻa ai. Moʻui ʻaki ʻa e ongoongoleleí, tauhi ʻa e ngaahi fekaú. Tokanga ki hoʻomou ngaahi lotú ʻi he poʻulí mo e pongipongí ʻi homou ʻapí. Tauhi e ngaahi tuʻunga moʻui ʻo e Siasí. Feinga ke moʻui nonga mo fiefia. … Ko e fiefiá kuo pau ke ngāueʻi mei he ʻaho ki he ʻaho. Ka ʻoku mahuʻinga hono ngāueʻí.10

Ko e taimi naʻe puke lahi ai ʻa Siaosi A. Sāmitá, naʻe ʻaʻahi mai ki ai e Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá, ʻa ia naʻá ne tokoua ʻakí. Naʻe lipooti ʻe he tangata faingataʻaʻiá ni: “Naʻá ne [ko e Palōfitá] talamai kiate au ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke u teitei loto-foʻi, tatau ai pē pe ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi faingataʻa te ne ʻākilotoa aú. Kapau te u melemo hifo ʻi he vanu loloto taha ʻo Nova Sikōtiá pea tanumia au ʻe he ʻOtu Moʻunga Maká kotoa, ʻoku ʻikai totonu ke u loto-foʻi ka ke u kātaki pē, tui, mo loto- toʻa, pea te u ikuna ʻi he ikuʻangá.” …

ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e ngaahi taimi ko e meʻa pē ke faí ko e kātaki ʻi he angatonu mo ikunaʻi ʻa e tēvoló kae ʻoua kuo mavahe hono laumālie fakalotofoʻí meiate koe. Hangē ko ia naʻe fakahā ʻe he ʻEikí ki he Palōfita ko Siosefa Sāmitá: “ʻE kiʻi fuofuoloa siʻi pē ʻa hoʻo ngaahi faingataʻaʻiá pea mo hoʻo ngaahi mamahí;

“Pea ʻe toki hakeakiʻi koe ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi ʻolunga, ʻo kapau te ke kātakiʻi ia ʻo lelei.” (T&F 121:7–8.)

Ko e vilitaki atu ʻi he ngaahi ngāue fakaʻeiʻeikí, neongo ʻoku lolotonga ʻākilotoa ʻe he kakapu ʻo e loto foʻí, ʻe faifai pē peá ke aʻusia ʻa e fiefiá. Naʻa mo hotau pule ko Sīsū ko e Kalaisí, naʻá Ne kei fakahoko pē ʻEne ngaahi ngāue maʻá e fānau ʻa e tangatá he lolotonga ʻo e sivi taupotu taha ʻo e tuku fakataimi ʻe heʻetau Tamaí ke tuenoa he lolotonga ʻo e tutukí, pea taimi nounou pē mei ai ne fakaongoongoleleiʻi Ia mo Ne maʻu ʻa e kakato ʻo e fiefiá. Lolotonga hoʻo fonongaʻia ho faingataʻaʻiá, te ke lava ʻo manatu ki hoʻo ngaahi ikuna ʻi he kuo hilí mo lau ho ngaahi tāpuaki kuó ke maʻú pea ʻamanaki lelei moʻoni ki ha ngaahi tāpuaki maʻongoʻonga ange ʻe hoko mai kapau te ke faivelenga. Pea te ke lava ʻo maʻu ʻa e ʻilo pau ko ia ʻe holoholoʻi ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻa e ngaahi loʻimata kotoa pē pea “ʻoku teʻeki ai mamata ʻe ha mata pe fanongo ʻe ha telinga, pea ʻoku teʻeki ai hū ki ha loto ʻo ha tangata, ʻa e ngaahi meʻa ʻa ia ʻoku teuteu ʻe he ʻOtuá maʻanautolu ʻoku ʻofa kiate iá.” (1 Kolinitō. 2:9.)11

ʻAi ke ke fiefia ʻi he meʻa kotoa pē ʻokú ke faí. Moʻui nēkeneka. Moʻui fiefia. Moʻui loto vēkeveke, ʻo ʻiloʻi ʻoku ʻikai ʻafio ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he loto haʻihaʻisiá mo e mamahí, ka ʻi he māmá mo e ʻofá.12

ʻOku fie maʻu ʻe he Tamai Hēvaní ke tau fiefia, pea te Ne tāpuakiʻi kitautolu ʻi heʻetau muimui ki Hono finangalo kiate kitautolú.

“ʻOku ʻi ai ʻa e faʻahinga ʻo e tangatá koeʻuhí ke nau maʻu ʻa e fiefiá” (2 Nīfai 2:25). ʻOku finangalo ʻa ʻetau Tamai Hēvaní ke tau fiefia. ʻOkú Ne fie maʻu ke tau fiefia. Ka ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻi ai ha fiefia ia ʻi he taʻe-tauhi e ngaahi tuʻunga moʻuí. ʻOku ʻikai ha fiefia ia ʻi he taimi ʻoku ʻikai ke ke moʻui ai ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo tuí, ʻo fakatatau ki he meʻa ʻokú ke ʻilo ʻoku totonú. ʻOku faingofua ʻaupito ke fakatupu e ʻulungaanga ʻo e kiʻi fakangalokú ʻi ha ngaahi meʻa ʻe niʻihi. ʻOku mātuʻaki faingofua ke fakatupu ʻa e ʻulungaanga ʻo e kumi ha fehalākí, pe fakaangá, pe kukuta ʻi hotau lotó ha ngaahi meʻa ʻi he Siasí. ʻOku mātuʻaki faingofua ke tau loto mamahi, pea tau kīkīvoi ai, ke tau loto mamahi mo mata fakafulofula holo. Kuo teʻeki ai ikunaʻi ʻe ha taha fofonga fakafulofula ha meʻa ʻi he taú pe ʻofá.13

ʻOku tau fakatokangaʻi koā ko e fiefia ʻi heni mo e taimi ní ʻoku maʻu ia ʻi hono ʻiloʻi fiefia ʻi he tauʻatāina, pea ʻi he ʻofa, ʻa e finangalo ʻo e ʻOtuá kiate kitautolú—pea mo hono fakahoko ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻalunga kotoa pē mo e ngaahi ngāue kotoa pē ʻo tatau ai pē lahi mo e siʻi?” Ko e moʻui haohaoá ke moʻui fiefia.

Naʻe pehē ʻe Paula, “ʻE kāinga,…ko ʻeni pē taha [ʻoku ou fakahokó], ʻoku ou fakangaloʻi ʻa e ngaahi meʻa kimuí, kau mafao atu ki he ngaahi meʻa ki muʻá,

“ʻOku ou mafao atu ki he fakaʻilongá, ko e koloa ʻo e ui māʻolunga ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻia Kalaisi Sīsū.” (Filipai 3:13–14.)
