Ha‘u mo e loto ‘apasia ‘o tali ‘ene Folofolá

(Come with reverence to receive from His Word)

Fehu‘i #42

Ko e hā e founga ‘o ‘etau lau mo fanongo ki he Folofola ‘a e ‘Otuá ?

‘I he loto ‘osikiavelenga, mateuteu, mo e lotu, ke tau lava ke tali ‘i he tui, fa‘oaki ki hotau lotó, pea ke tau mo‘ui‘aki.

How is the Word of God to be read and heard?

With diligence, preparation, and prayer, so that we may accept it with faith, store it in our hearts, and practice it in our lives.

2 TIMOTE 3:16-17

Ko e potu Folofola kotoa pē ne fakamānava mei he ‘Otua, ‘oku ‘aonga foki ki he akonaki, ki he faka‘ilo hala, ki he fakatonutonu, ki he ngaohia ke mā‘oni‘oni: koe‘uhi ā ke tu‘u kakato ‘a e tangata faka‘otua, kuo ‘osi sāuni ki he ngāue lelei fuli pē.

2 TIMOTHY 3:16-17

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Commentary - THOMAS CRANMER

Wherefore I would advise you all that come to the reading or bearing of this book, which is the word of God, the most precious jewel and most holy relic that remaineth upon earth; that ye bring with you the fear of God, and that ye do it with all due reverence, and use your knowledge thereof, not to vain glory of frivolous disputation, but to the honor of God, increase of virtue, and edification both of yourselves and others.

‘Oku ou tapou atu kiate kimoutolu ‘oku mou omi ke lau mo fakamo‘oni ki he tohí ni, ‘a ia ko e Folofola ‘a e ‘Otuá, ko e taha‘i mata‘ikoloa mahu‘inga mo e me‘a toputapu taha ‘i he mamani ko ení ; ke ke ha‘u mo e loto manavahē ki he ‘Otuá, mo e loto ‘apasia, pea ke ma‘u ‘a e ‘ilo mo e poto mei aí, pea ‘oua te ke ‘afungi ai mo fakafekiki noa‘ia ‘aki, ka ke fakalangilangi‘i ai ‘a e ‘Otuá, pea ke tupu ‘i he mo‘ui faka-‘Otuá pea ke langa‘aki ai ‘a ho‘o tuí mo e mo‘ui ‘a e kakai kehé.
