(Sione 6:44) ʻOkú ne sio ki he lelei ʻiate kitautolu ʻa ia ʻoku ʻikai nai ke tau sio ki ai, pea ʻokú ne ʻafioʻi ʻa hotau lotó. (2 Kal. 6:30) Ko ia ʻe lava ke tau falala kiate ia ʻi heʻene pehē ʻoku tau mahuʻingá.

(1 Pita 4:3) Naʻa mo e kau Kalisitiane faitōnungá ʻoku nau faitau mo e ngaahi hehema angahalaʻiá. ʻOku fakahalaiaʻi koe ʻe ho lotó? Kapau ko ia, maʻu ʻa e fiemālie ʻi hono ʻiloʻi ko e kau sevāniti faitōnunga ʻa Sihová kuo nau fāinga mo e ngaahi ongoʻi pehē. Ko e fakatātaá, ko e ʻapositolo ko Paulá naʻá ne ongoʻi fakaʻofaʻia ʻiate ia pē ʻi heʻene fakakaukauloto atu ki heʻene ngaahi taʻehaohaoá.

Neongo ia, naʻá ne lave kiate ia tonu “ko e siʻi taha . . . ʻi he kau ʻapositoló” pea ko e “tuʻu-ki-muʻa” ia ʻi he kau angahalá.—1 Kol. 15:9; 1 Tīm. 1:15. w24.03 27 ¶5-6

Manatuʻi, naʻe kei siʻi ange ʻa Sihoasi ʻi hono kaumeʻa ko Sihoiatá. ʻI he fekauʻaki mo hoʻo fili ʻo e ngaahi kaumeʻá, ʻeke hifo: ‘ʻOku nau tokoniʻi au ke fakaivimālohiʻi ʻeku tui kia Sihová? ʻOku nau fakalototoʻaʻi au ke u moʻuiʻaki ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa e ʻOtuá? ʻOku nau talanoa fekauʻaki mo Sihova mo ʻene ngaahi moʻoni mahuʻingá? ʻOku nau fakaʻapaʻapaʻi ʻa e ngaahi tuʻunga ʻa e ʻOtuá? ʻOku nau tala mai pē ʻa e meʻa ʻoku ou loto nai ke fanongo ki aí, pe ʻoku nau maʻu ʻa e loto-toʻa ke fakatonutonu au kapau te u hē?’ (Pal. 27:​5, 6, 17) Ko e moʻoni, kapau ʻoku ʻikai ke ʻofa ho ngaahi kaumeʻá kia Sihova, tuku ange kinautolu. Ka ʻo kapau ʻokú ke maʻu ha ngaahi kaumeʻa ʻoku nau ʻofa kia Sihova, pīkitai kiate kinautolu—te nau tākiekina lelei koe!—Pal. 13:20. w23.09 9-10 ¶6-7

Ko e ʻālifá ko e ʻuluaki mataʻitohi ia ʻi he ʻalafapeti faka-Kalisí, pea ko e ʻōmeká ko e mataʻitohi fakamuimui tahá ia. ʻI hono ngāueʻaki ʻa e kupuʻi lea ko e “ʻĀlifá mo e ʻŌmeká,” ʻoku fakahaaʻi ai ʻe Sihova, ʻi he taimi ʻokú ne kamataʻi ai ha meʻa te ne fakahoko ia kae ʻoua kuo lavameʻa moʻoni. Hili hono fakatupu ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻĀtama mo ʻIví, naʻá Ne folofola kiate kinaua: “Mo fanafanau mo fakatokolahi pea fakafonu ʻa e māmaní pea mo pule ki ai.” (Sēn. 1:28) ʻI he mōmeniti ko iá, naʻe hangē ia naʻe lea ʻa Sihova “ʻĀlifá.” Naʻá ne fakahaaʻi mahino ʻene taumuʻá: ʻE hoko mai ha taimi, ko e hako haohaoa mo talangofua ʻo ʻĀtama mo ʻIví te nau fakafonu ʻa e māmaní pea liliu ia ke hoko ko ha palataisi. ʻI he taimi ko ia ʻi he kahaʻú, ko Sihova ʻi ha ʻuhinga, te ne pehē, “ʻŌmeká.” Hili ʻa e kakato hono fakatupu ʻo e “langí mo e māmaní mo e meʻa kotoa ʻi aí,” naʻe ʻomai ʻe Sihova ha fakapapauʻiʻanga.
