(Loma 7:18, 19, 24) Naʻá ne kātekina foki “ha tolounua ʻi he kakanó,” ʻa ia naʻá ne fiemaʻu lahi ke toʻo atu ʻe he ʻOtuá.—2 Kol. 12:7, 8.
5. Ko e hā naʻe fakahoko ʻe Paula neongo ʻa e ngaahi pole naʻá ne fehangahangai mo iá?

Naʻá ne pehē ko e mālohi ʻo e ʻOtuá naʻe “fakahaohaoaʻi ia [ʻi he] hoko ʻo vaivaí.” (Lau ʻa e 2 Kolinitō 12:9, 10.)

Mahalo ko e ʻuhinga ia naʻe tala ange ai ʻe Paula: “ʻOua ʻaupito naʻa tuku ke siolalo atu ha taha ki hoʻo kei siʻí.” (1 Tīm. 4:12) ʻIkai ko ia pē, lolotonga ʻa e taimi ko ení, naʻe ʻi ai ha tolounua ʻi he kakano ʻo Tīmoté—ko ʻene “faʻa puké.” (1 Tīm. 5:23) Ka naʻe ʻiloʻi ʻe Tīmote ko e laumālie māʻoniʻoni mālohi ʻo Sihová te ne foaki kiate ia ʻa e mālohi ʻoku fiemaʻu ke ne malangaʻi ʻaki ʻa e ongoongo leleí pea ngāue maʻa hono fanga tokouá.—2 Tīm. 1:7.

Hangē ko ia ʻoku hiki ʻi he ʻEfesō 6:18, ʻoku fakalototoʻaʻi ai kitautolu ʻe Paula ke lotu ki he ʻOtuá “ʻi he taimi kotoa pē.” ʻE tali ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻetau lotú ʻaki hono fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu. Ko Jonnie, ʻoku nofo ʻi Polivia, naʻá ne hokosia ʻa e poupou ko iá ʻi heʻene foua ha ngaahi ʻahiʻahi hokohoko. Naʻe puke lahi ʻene ongo mātuʻá mo hono uaifí ʻi he taimi tatau. Naʻe fāinga ʻa Jonnie ke tokangaʻi ʻenau ngaahi fiemaʻú. Naʻe mate ʻene faʻeé, pea naʻe fuoloa ʻa e taimi ke fakaakeake ai hono uaifí mo ʻene tamaí. ʻI he manatu ki aí, ʻoku pehē ʻe Jonnie, “ʻI heʻeku ʻi he malumalu ʻo e faingataʻa lahí, naʻe tokoni maʻu pē kiate au ʻa e lotu ki he ngaahi meʻa pau.” Naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kia Jonnie ʻa e mālohi ke ne kātekina ai. Ko Ronald, ko ha mātuʻa ʻi Polivia, naʻá ne ʻiloʻi naʻe maʻu ʻe he kanisā ʻene faʻeé. Naʻá ne mate ʻi ha māhina ʻe taha mei ai. Ko e hā naʻá ne tokoniʻi ia ke fekuki mo e meʻá ni? ʻOkú ne pehē: “Ko e lotú ʻokú ne fakaʻatā ke u huaʻi atu hoku lotó pea tuku ange atu ʻeku ngaahi ongoʻí kia Sihova. ʻOku ou ʻiloʻi ʻokú ne mahinoʻi lelei ange au ʻi ha toe taha, naʻa mo ʻeku mahinoʻi aú.” ʻI he taimi ʻe niʻihi, ʻoku tau ongoʻi lōmekina pe veiveiua fekauʻaki mo e meʻa ʻoku totonu ke tau lotu fekauʻaki mo iá. Ka ʻoku fakaafeʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova ke lotu kiate ia neongo kapau ʻoku faingataʻa ke tau leaʻaki ʻa e meʻa ʻi heʻetau fakakaukaú mo ʻetau ongoʻí.—Loma 8:26, 27.
10. Hangē ko ia ʻi he Hepelū 4:12, ko e hā ʻoku mātuʻaki mahuʻinga ai hono lau ʻa e Tohi Tapú pea fakalaulauloto ki he meʻa ʻoku tau laú?

(Loma 15:4) ʻI heʻetau lau ʻa e Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá pea fakalaulauloto ki aí, ʻoku lava ke ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova hono laumālié ke tokoniʻi kitautolu ke mahinoʻi lelei ange ʻa e founga ke ngāueʻaki ai ʻa e Folofolá ʻi hotau tuʻungá. (Lau ʻa e Hepelū 4:12.) Ko Ronald, naʻe lave ki ai ki muʻá, ʻokú ne pehē: “ʻOku ou houngaʻia ʻi heʻeku tōʻongaʻaki hono lau ha konga ʻo e Tohi Tapú ʻi he pō kotoa. ʻOku ou fakalaulauloto lahi ki he ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻo Sihová mo ʻene ngaahi fakafeangai ʻofa ki heʻene kau sevānití. ʻOku tokoni eni ke u toe maʻu hoku mālohí.”
11. Naʻe anga-fēfē hono fakaivimālohiʻi ʻe he Tohi Tapú ha tuofefine naʻe mamahi?
11 ʻE lava ke tau fakatupulekina ha vakai totonu ki hotau tuʻungá ʻaki ʻa e fakalaulauloto ki he Folofola ʻa e ʻOtuá. Fakakaukau ki he maʻu ʻaonga mei he Tohi Tapú ʻa ha uitou naʻe mamahi. Naʻe fokotuʻu ange ʻe ha mātuʻa ʻe lava ke ne ako ʻa e ngaahi lēsoni ʻaonga mei hono lau ʻa e tohi ʻa Siopé. ʻI heʻene fai iá, naʻá ne ʻuluaki fakaangaʻi ʻa Siope ki heʻene fakakaukau halá. Naʻá ne sioloto atu ʻokú ne fakatokanga kiate ia: “Siope! ʻOua te ke fuʻu fakakaukau taʻepau!” Ka naʻá ne toki fakatokangaʻi ko ʻene fakakaukaú naʻe meimei tatau pē mo Siope. Naʻe tokoni eni ke ne fakatonutonu ʻene vakaí pea fakaivimālohiʻi ia ke fekuki mo e mamahi ʻi he mole hono husepānití.
12. ʻOku anga-fēfē hono fakaivimālohiʻi kitautolu ʻe Sihova fakafou ʻi he kaungālotú?

Naʻe tohi ʻe Paula naʻá ne fakaʻamu ke “fefakalototoʻaʻaki” mo hono fanga tokoua mo e fanga tuofāfine fakalaumālié. (Loma 1:11, 12) Ko Mary, naʻe lave ki ai ki muʻá, ʻokú ne koloaʻaki ʻa e feohi ko iá. ʻOkú ne pehē: “Kuo ngāueʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻa e fanga tokoua mo e fanga tuofāfine naʻe ʻikai ke nau teitei ʻiloʻi ʻa e meʻa naʻá ku fāinga mo iá. Naʻa nau leaʻaki ha meʻa fakalototoʻa pe ʻomai ha kaati, pea ko e meʻa tofu pē ia naʻá ku fiemaʻú. ʻOku toe tokoni ʻa e talanoa ki he fanga tuofāfine kehe naʻa nau fāinga mo e meʻa meimei tatau pea ako mei heʻenau hokosiá. Pea ʻoku ʻai maʻu pē ʻe he kau mātuʻá ke u ongoʻi ʻoku ʻi ai hoku mahuʻinga ʻi he fakatahaʻangá.”
