ʻI he ngaahi anga fakafonua ʻe niʻihi, ʻoku tui ʻa e kakaí heʻikai ke lava ha taha ʻo fiefia kae ʻoua ke ne mali. Kae kehe, ʻoku ʻikai ke fiefia ʻa e kakai mali kotoa pē pea ʻoku ʻikai ke loto-mamahi ʻa e kakai taʻemali kotoa pē. Ko hono moʻoní ʻoku lave fakatouʻosi ʻa e Tohi Tapú ki he malí mo e taʻemalí ko ha meʻaʻofa meia Sihova.

1. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga ʻo e taʻemalí?

ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú: “ʻIlonga ʻa ia ʻoku malí ʻoku lelei ia, kae ʻilonga ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai te ne malí ʻe toe lelei ange ia.” (Lau ʻa e 1 Kolinitō 7:32, 33, 38.) ʻI he ngaahi founga fē ʻe hoko ai ʻo “lelei ange” ki ha tokotaha ʻikai mali? Ko ha Kalisitiane ʻikai mali ʻoku ʻikai fiemaʻu ia ke ne tokangaʻi ʻa e ngaahi fiemaʻu ʻo ha hoa. Ko ia, ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e tauʻatāina lahi ange. Ko e fakatātaá, ko e niʻihi ʻoku malava ke fakalahi ʻenau ngāue fakamalangá ʻi ha founga makehe ʻaki ʻa e hiki ki ha feituʻu ʻe taha ke malangaʻi ai ʻa e ongoongo leleí. Hiliō he meʻa kotoa, ʻoku lava ke nau vaheʻi ʻa e taimi lahi ange ke ʻunuʻunu ofi kia Sihova.

2. Ko e hā ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga ʻo e hoko ʻo mali fakalaó?

Ko e malí, hangē pē ko e taʻemalí, ʻokú ne ʻomai ʻa e ngaahi ʻaonga fisifisimuʻa. ʻOku pehē ʻe he Tohi Tapú “ko e toko uá ʻoku lelei ange ia ʻi he toko tahá.” (Tangata Malanga 4:9) ʻOku moʻoni ʻaupito eni ki he kau Kalisitiane ʻoku nau ngāueʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tefitoʻi moʻoni Fakatohitapú ʻi heʻenau nofo malí. Ko e ngaahi hoa mali ʻoku nau mali fakalaó ʻoku nau fuakava ke nau feʻofaʻaki maʻu pē, fefakaʻapaʻapaʻaki mo koloaʻaki ʻa e tokotaha ʻe tahá. Ko hono olá, te na ongoʻi malu ange ʻi he ongo meʻa ʻokú na nonofo ʻikai malí. Pea ko ʻena fānaú te nau toe ongoʻi malu lahi ange.

3. Ko e hā ʻa e vakai ʻa Sihova ki he malí?

ʻI hono fakahoko ʻe Sihova ʻa e ʻuluaki malí naʻá ne pehē: “ʻE tuku ange ai ʻe ha tangata ʻene tamaí mo ʻene faʻeé pea te ne pīkitai ki hono uaifí.” (Sēnesi 2:24) ʻOku finangalo ʻa Sihova ki he husepānití mo e uaifí ke na feʻofaʻaki pea nofo fakataha he toenga ʻena moʻuí. ʻOkú ne toki fakaʻatā pē ʻa e veté ʻi he halaia ha hoa ʻi he tonó. ʻI he tuʻunga ko iá, ʻoku ʻoange ʻe Sihova ki he hoa tonuhiá ʻa e totonu ke fili pe ʻe vete pe ʻikai. a (Mātiu 19:9) ʻI he vakai ʻa Sihová ʻoku totonu ke maʻu ʻe ha Kalisitiane ha hoa mali pē ʻe taha.​—1 Tīmote 3:2.

5. Fili fakapotopoto ho hoá

Ko e fili ha hoá ko e taha ʻo e fili mahuʻinga taha ʻe faifai ange peá ke faí. Lau ʻa e Mātiu 19:4-6, 9, pea lāulea leva ki he fehuʻi ko ení:

• Ko e hā ʻoku ʻikai totonu ai ki ha Kalisitiane ke fakavave ki he malí?

ʻOku lava ke tokoniʻi koe ʻe he Tohi Tapú ke sio ki he ngaahi ʻulungaanga ʻokú ne ʻai ha tokotaha ko ha hoa mali lelei. Ko e meʻa mahuʻinga tahá, kumi ki ha hoa mali ʻokú ne ʻofa kia Sihova. b Lau ʻa e 1 Kolinitō 7:39 mo e 2 Kolinitō 6:14. Lāulea leva ki he ongo fehuʻi ko ení:

 6. Vakai ki he malí ʻo hangē ko Sihová

ʻI ʻIsileli ʻo e kuonga muʻá, ko e kau tangata ʻe niʻihi naʻa nau veteʻi honau malí ʻi ha ngaahi ʻuhinga siokita. Lau ʻa e Malakai 2:13, 14, 16, pea lāulea leva ki he fehuʻi ko ení:

• Ko e hā ʻoku fehiʻa ai ʻa Sihova ʻi he ngaahi vete taʻeʻuhinga tuku kehe pē ʻa e tonó?

Huluʻi ʻa e VITIOÓ, pea lāulea leva ki he fehuʻi hokó.
