Ka e kua e puhala ne kitia he Atua, ko e Kamataaga he fakamauaga, ke he tuaga nei?

Kua fakailoa mai e olioli he fakamauaga, ka e poaki mai foki ko lautolu ne mau to “moua a lautolu kua pihia he matematekelea he tino.” (1 Korinito 7:28) Tuga kua fita he tohi, ko e tau hoa tokoua ko e tau tagata nakai mitaki katoatoa mo e fohifo ke he hala.

He nakai talahau age ni fakahako pehe: “Logona e au e hehe e maamaaga ki a au,” liga tupetupe lahi e tane po ke hoana mo e fakalahi ki mua e mena vihi. To tokologa ka pehe: “Ko e manumanu na koe ki a koe,” po ke, “Kua nakai loto a koe ki a au.” Ka ko e taha hoa ne nakai manako ke putoia ke he taufetoko, liga nakai talia ke fanogonogo.

⁸ Ko e puhala mitaki ke muitua ki ai ko e fanogonogo ke he fakatonuaga he Tohi Tapu: “Ka ita a mutolu, aua neke hala ai; aua foki neke to e la ka e ita agaia a mutolu.” (Efeso 4:26) Taha e tane mo e hoana he fakamauaga fiafia, ne hoko ke he tau ke 60 aki ha laua he mau, ne huhu ke he mena galo ne fakakautu aki ha laua a fakamauaga. Ne pehe e tane: “Ne fakaako a maua ke nakai o ke momohe ka nakai la fakamafola ha maua a tau mena ne kehekehe ai, pete ni ko e tau tama mena ikiiki he kitia.”

9. (a) Ko e heigoa ne mailoga he tau Tohiaga Tapu ke eke mo vala lata tonu he matutakiaga? (e) Ko e heigoa he tau hoa he fakamauaga kua lata ke taute tumau, pete ni kaeke ke fai fakamalolo mo e fakatokolalo?

⁹ Kaeke ke nakai fetaliaaki e tane mo e hoana, kua lata ke igatia e tagata ke “alumaki ke fanogonogo, kia fakatuai ke vagahau atu, kia fakatuai ke ita.” (Iakopo 1:19) Ka oti he fanogonogo fakamitaki, to liga kitia he tau hoa tokoua e manako ke fefakamolemoleaki. (Iakopo 5:16) Kia talahau mo e fakamoli, “Fakamolemole ha kua fakahukia e au a koe,” kua aoga ni ke taute mo e fakatokolalo mo e fakamalolo. Ka ko e tauteute he tau fekehekeheaki he mahani nei to loa e puhala ka fano ai, ke lagomatai e tane mo e hoana, nakai ko e tali ni hokoia ke he tau mena vihi ha laua ka e fakalaulahi foki e mafana mo e fetataaki ke he mena ka moua ai e laua e fiafia lahi he fakafehili he taha ke he taha.

10. Ko e heigoa e puipuiaga ne fifili e Paulo ke he tau Kerisiano Korinito ne liga aoga ke he Kerisiano he vaha nei?

¹⁰ Ko e magaaho ne tohi ai e aposetolo ko Paulo ke he tau tagata i Korinito, ne fifili e ia e fakamauaga ha “ko e feuaki.” (1 Korinito 7:2) Ko e lalolagi he vaha nei kua kelea ni tuga, po ke muitui e kelea ia Korinito i tuai. Ko e tau matapatu tala ke he mahani feuaki ne tala noa he tau tagata he lalolagi, ko e puhala tauteute fakalialia ha lautolu, mo e tau tala fakaohooho ne fakakite mai he tau mekasini mo e tau tohi, he tivi, mo e tau kifaga, kua lafilafi oti ke fakalagalaga aki e ataina he manako lahi ke he mahani fakatane mo e fifine. Ke he tau tagata Korinito ne nonofo he takatakai pihia ni, ne pehe e aposetolo ko Paulo: “Nukua mitaki ke fai hoana, ka e kelea he vela.”​—1 Korinito 7:9.

11, 12. (a) Ko e heigoa he tane mo e hoana ne kaitalofa he taha ke he taha, mo e ko e agaga fe kua lata ke foaki aki? (e) Maeke fefe e tuaga nei ke taute kaeke kua eke ke toka fakaku e mahani mitaki kua lata he fakamauaga?

¹¹ Ko e mena ia, kua poaki he Tohi Tapu ke he tau Kerisiano ne mau: “Kia uta he tane ke he hoana e mahani mitaki kua lata, kia pihia foki e hoana ke he tane.” (1 Korinito 7:3) Mailoga kua mamafa ke he age​—nakai ko e manako. Ko e fetataaki fakatino he fakamauaga kua fakamakona moli kaeke ni kua igatia e tau hoa mo e onoono ke he mitaki he taha. Ke fakatai, kua poaki he Tohi Tapu ke he tau tane ke nonofo fakamitaki mo e tau hoana ha lautolu “mo e iloilo.” (1 Peteru 3:7) Kua moli pauaki e mena nei he magaaho ka age mo e moua e mahani mitaki kua lata he fakamauaga. Kaeke ke nakai taute fakahohofi e hoana, to liga uka lahi ia ia ke fiafia e fahi nei he fakamauaga.

¹² Kua ha ha i ai e tau magaaho ne fa matauka e tau hoa he fakamauaga ke he mahani mitaki kua lata he taha ke he taha. Kua liga moli e mena nei ke he hoana he taha magaaho he mahina po ke magaaho ka logona ai e ia e mategugu lahi. (Fakatatai Levitika 18:19.) Ti liga moli foki ke he tane he magaaho ka fehagai mo e taha mena vihi kelea lahi he gahuaaga mo e logona e ia e lolelole he manamanatuaga. Ko e tau mena pihia ke toka fakaku aki he age ke he fakamauaga e mahani mitaki kua lata, kua mua atu ni he mitaki kaeke ke tutala fakamoli ke he mena ne tupu mo e talia ke “loto fakalataha.” (1 Korinito 7:5) To maeke he mena nei ke puipui e tau hoa ne tokoua mai he hopo ke he fakaotiaga hepe. Kaeke, mogoia, ke matauka e hoana ke tuku age ke he hana tane po ke kaeke ke kaumahala pauaki e tane ke age ke he fakamauaga e mahani mitaki kua lata ke he puhala fakaalofa, liga kua toka noa tuai e hoa ke he kamatamata. Ke he tuaga pihia, liga to tutupu hake e tau mena vihi he fakamauaga.

13. Gahua fefe e tau Kerisiano ke taofi ha lautolu a manamanatuaga ke mea?

¹³ Kua tuga ni e tau Kerisiano oti, ko e tau fekafekau kua mau he Atua kua lata ke tiaki e tau mena fakalagalaga, ne maeke ke talaga aki e tau manako nakai mea mo e nakai mai he tufugaaga. (Kolose 3:5) Kua lata foki ia lautolu ke leoleo e tau manatu mo e tau mena taute he magaaho ka fakafetui ai mo e tau tagata oti ne tino kehekehe. Ne fakailoa mai e Iesu: “Ka kikite atu taha ke he fifine kia manako ki ai, kua faivao tuai a ia ke he hana loto.” (Mataio 5:28) Ko e fakaaoga he fakatonuaga he Tohi Tapu ke he mahani fakatane mo fifine, kua maeke he faoa tokoua ke hao mai he mokulu ke he kamatamata he mahani faivao. Kua maeke ia laua ke fakatumau e olioli ke he fiafia tata he fakamauaga ne tokiofa ai e mahani fakatane mo e fifine ke eke mo mena fakaalofa mitaki mai he Kamataaga he fakamauaga, ko Iehova.​—Tau Fakatai 5:15-19.

14. Ko e heigoa e tuaga momoko he falu a magaaho ne fa fakakite mai? Ko e ha?

¹⁴ Ko e fiafia ha ia, ha ko e laulahi he tau fakamauaga Kerisiano, ko e ha mena vihi ka tutupu kua maeke ni ke taute fakamitaki. Ko e falu magaaho mogoia, kua nakai tuai eke e mena nei mo taha mena. Ha ko e tau tagata ko e tau tagata nakai mitaki katoatoa mo e nonofo he lalolagi agahala i lalo he pule a Satani, ko e falu he tau fakamauaga ne hoko moli ke he tuaga mavehevehe. (1 Ioane 5:19) Kua lata e tau Kerisiano ke fehagai fefe mo e tuaga kamatamata pihia?

¹⁵ Tuga ne talahau he Veveheaga 2 he tohi nei, ko e feuaki ko e matapatu ni a ia faka-Tohiaga Tapu ma e tau vevehe mo e fakaataaga ke liu fai fakamauaga.c (Mataio 19:9) Kaeke ke fai talahauaga moli a koe ke pehe ko e hoa fakamau hau kua nakai fakamoli, ko e magaaho haia ka feleveia ai a koe mo e fifiliaga uka. To tumau nakai a koe ke he fakamauaga po ke taute e tau vevehe? Kua nakai fai fakatufono. Ko e falu he tau Kerisiano ne fakamagalo fakakatoatoa e hoa ne tokihala moli, mo e ko e fakamauaga ne fakahao kua fuluhi mitaki. Ko e falu ne manatu ke totoko e vevehe ha ko e tau fanau.

16. (a) Ko e heigoa e falu a matapatu mena ne omoi aki e falu ke tau vevehe ha lautolu a hoa agahala he fakamauaga? (e) Ko e magaaho ka taute he hoa loto mea e fifiliaga ke tau vevehe po ke nakai tau vevehe, ko e ha kua nakai lata he ha tagata ke tuhituhi e fifiliaga he tagata ia?

¹⁶ Ke he taha fahi, ko e tau gahua agahala kua liga fua mai e fatu noa po ke gagao pikitia he mahani fakatane mo e fifine. Po ke liga kua lata e tau fanau ke puipui mai he tau matua fakakelea he mahani fakatane mo e fifine. Ko e maama mitaki ha ia, ha kua lahi e mena ke manamanatu ki ai to taute e fifiliaga. Ka e taha e mena, kaeke, ke iloa e koe e mahani fakahulahula he hoa fakamau hau ka e hoko ke he magaaho fakamui kua liu fakalataha a koe ke he mahani fakatane mo e fifine mo e hoa hau, ko e mena ia kua fakakite e koe kua fakamagalo tuai e koe e hoa hau mo e manako ke fakatumau e fakamauaga. Ko e matapatu he tau vevehe mo e fakaataaga faka-Tohiaga Tapu he liu fai fakamauaga kua nakai tuai fakagahua. Kua nakai fai tagata ke fakalavelave mo e lali ke fakaohooho e fifiliaga hau, po ke fai tagata ke tuhituhi e fifiliaga hau ne taute e koe. To nofo ni a koe mo e tau fua he mena kua fifili e koe. “To igatia e tagata mo e fua hana ni a kavega.”​—Kalatia 6:5.

17. Kaeke ke nakai fai feuaki, ko e heigoa e tau fakakaupaaga ne fakatoka he tau Tohiaga Tapu ke he mavehevehe po ke tau vevehe?

¹⁷ Kua ha ha i ai nakai ha tuaga ne liga fakatonu e mavehevehe po ke tau vevehe ni mai he hoa he fakamauaga pete ni he nakai feuaki e tagata ia? E, ka e ke he tau lekua pihia, kua nakai fakaata e Kerisiano ke tutuli e hoa ke tolu aki mo e manatu ke liu fai fakamauaga. (Mataio 5:32) Ha kua taute e tau fakaataaga he mavehevehe pihia, ko e Tohi Tapu, kua talia moli ko e tagata ne mavehevehe kua lata ke “nofo noa pihia a ia po ke fakafeilo.” (1 Korinito 7:11) Ko e heigoa falu he tau tutuaga lalahi ne liga taute e mavehevehe ke tuga e lata tonu?

18, 19. Ko e heigoa falu he tau vahega mena lalahi ne liga takitaki e taha hoa ke fuafua e tau hatakiaga fakamoli fakamatafakatufono ke mavehevehe po ke tau vevehe, pete ni he nakai fai fakaataaga ke liu fai fakamauaga?

¹⁸ Moli, ko e magafaoa liga nonofogati ha ko e lahi mahaki e teva mo e mahani kelea he tane.d Liga to pele tupe oti e ia e tau tupe he magafaoa po ke fakaaoga ke lagomatai aki e hufia hana ke he tau tulaki po ke kava. Kua fakamau he Tohi Tapu: “Kaeke kua nakai leveki e taha hana faoa . . . kua fakatikai e ia e tua, kua mua hana kelea kia ia kua faliuliu.” (1 Timoteo 5:8) Kaeke ke nakai talia he tagata pihia ke hiki hana tau puhala, po ke hoko foki he totogi aki hana tau gahua kelea ke uta e tau tupe ne gahua he hoana hana, kua lata e hoana ke fifili ke puipui e levekiaga hana mo e he tau fanau mo e taute taha fakamoliaga fakamatafakatufono ke mavehevehe.

¹⁹ Kua maeke foki he tauteaga fakamatafakatufono pihia ke fifili kaeke ke lahi mahaki e favale he taha hoa ke he taha hoa, liga keli tumau a ia ti hoko ni ke matematekelea lahi hana malolo tino mo e pihia foki ke he moui. Ke lafi atu ki ai, kaeke ke lali tumau e tane ke fakaohooho e hoa he fakamauaga ke moumou e tau poaki he Atua ke he falu a puhala, kua lata foki e hoa ne fakamatakutaku ke manamanatu ke he mavehevehe, mua atu ni kaeke ke hoko e tau lekua ke he tuaga hagahaga kelea lahi he moui fakaagaga. Ko e hoa ne tau tukumate kua lata ke fakaoti ko e puhala ni a ia ke “mua e omaoma ke he Atua ke he omaoma ke he tau tagata” ke taute e fakamoliaga fakamatafakatufono mavehevehe.​—Gahua 5:29.

20. (a) Ke he lekua he mavehevehe he magafaoa, ko e heigoa ka foaki he tau kapitiga motua mo e tau motua, mo e ko e heigoa kua nakai lata a lautolu ke foaki? (e) Kua nakai lata e tau tagata takitokotaha ne mau ke fakaaoga e tau tala he Tohi Tapu ke he mavehevehe po ke tau vevehe ke eke mo tau kalokalo ke taute e heigoa?

²⁰ Ko e tau lekua oti he lahi e ekefakakelea fakatane po ke hoana, kua nakai lata ha tagata ke tuku e kavega mamafa ke he hoa ne nakai agahala ke mavehevehe po ke nofo hifo ni mo e taha.

Ko Iehova ni hokoia ne kitia e mena ia. Moli, kua nakai fakalilifu e hoana Kerisiano ke he fakamauaga ne fakatoka he Atua kaeke ke fakaaoga e ia e tau kalokalo ne nakai fai kakano ke hola kehe he fakamauaga. Ka e kaeke ke tumau e lahi he tuaga matematekelea, kua nakai lata ha tagata ke tuhituhi a ia kaeke ke fifili e ia ke mavehevehe. Ko e tau mena taha ia ni ka talahau ke he tane Kerisiano ne kumi ke mavehevehe. “Ha ko e mena tutu a tautolu oti kana ki mua he nofoa fakafili [“he Atua,” NW].”​—Roma 14:10.

Kia ha ha he tau tane mo e tau hoana fakamau oti e katoatoa he mafanatia ke he fakatonuaga he fakamauaga ne fakakoloa aki he Atua ko Iehova. Kua gahuahua moli!
