A carne
A carne representa a natureza pecaminosa que milita contra o Espírito. A Bíblia ensina que os que pertencem a Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões e desejos.
Carne versus Espírito
Os que são segundo a carne inclinam-se para as coisas da carne. O nascido da carne é carne; o nascido do Espírito é Espírito.
He ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻoe kakano, ʻoku nau tokanga ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe kakano; ka ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻoe Laumālie, ki he ngaahi meʻa ʻoe Laumālie. He ko e loto fakakakano, ko e mate ia; ka ko e loto fakalaumālie, ko e moʻui ia mo e melino. Koeʻuhi ko e loto fakakakano, ko e taufehiʻa ia ki he ʻOtua: he ʻoku ʻikai ke moʻulaloa ia ki he fono ʻae ʻOtua, pea ʻoku ʻikai ʻaupito faʻa fai ke pehē. Ko ia ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻi he kakano, ʻoku ʻikai te nau faʻa fai ke fiemālie ʻae ʻOtua.
Ka ʻoku ʻikai ʻi he kakano ʻakimoutolu, ka ʻi he Laumālie, ʻo kapau ʻoku nofoʻia ʻakimoutolu ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua. Pea ko eni, kapau ʻoku ʻikai maʻu ʻe ha tangata ʻae Laumālie ʻo Kalaisi, ʻoku ʻikai ʻaʻana ia.
Pea ko ia ʻoku ʻikai ai ha fakamalaʻia kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, ʻakinautolu ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ki he kakano, ka ki he Laumālie. He ko e fono ʻoe Laumālie ʻoe moʻui ʻia Kalaisi Sisu, kuo ne fakatauʻatāina au mei he fono ʻoe angahala mo e mate. He ko ia naʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he fono, ko e meʻa ʻi hono vaivai ʻi he kakano, kuo fai ʻe he ʻOtua, ʻi heʻene fekau hono ʻAlo ʻoʻona ʻi he tatau ʻoe kakano angahala, pea ko e feilaulau ki he angahala, pea ne fakavaivai ʻae angahala ʻi he kakano: Koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻoni ki he māʻoniʻoni ʻoe fono ʻekitautolu, ʻoku ʻikai ke muimui ki he kakano, ka ki he Laumālie.
He kapau te mou moʻui ki he kakano, te mou mate: ka ʻoka mou ka tāmateʻi ʻae ngaahi anga ʻoe kakano ʻaki ʻae Laumālie, te mou moʻui. He ko kinautolu ʻoku takiekina ʻe he Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua, ko e ngaahi foha ʻakinautolu ʻoe ʻOtua.
Ko ia ʻoku ou ʻiloʻi ha fono ʻiate au, koeʻuhi ʻo kau ka fie fai lelei, ʻoku ofi kiate au ʻae kovi. He ʻoku mālie ʻae tangata ʻi loto ʻiate au ʻi he fono ʻae ʻOtua. Ka ʻoku ou mamata ki he fono ʻe taha ʻi hoku ngaahi kupuʻi sino, ʻoku ne tauʻi ʻae fono ʻo hoku loto, mo ne fakapōpulaʻi au ki he fono ʻoe angahala ʻaia ʻoku ʻi hoku ngaahi kupuʻi sino.
He naʻe lolotonga ʻetau ʻi he anga fakakakano, ko e ngaahi holi ʻoe angahala, ʻaia naʻe mei he fono, ne ngāue ia ʻi hotau ngaahi kupuʻi sino, ke fakatupu ʻae fua ki he mate.
Ko ia kuo fanauʻi ʻi he kakano, ko e kakano ia; pea ko ia kuo fanauʻi ʻi he Laumālie, ko e laumālie ia.
Ko e laumālie ia ʻoku ne fakamoʻui; ʻoku ʻikai hano ʻaonga ʻoe sino: ko e lea ʻoku ou lea ʻaki kiate kimoutolu, ko e laumālie ia pea mo e moʻui.
Vencer a carne
Andai no Espírito e não cumprireis os desejos da carne. Os que são de Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões.
Ka ʻoku ou pehē, Mou ʻaʻeva ʻi he Laumālie, pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fai ai ki he holi ʻoe kakano.
Pea ʻoku hā mai ʻae ngaahi ngāue ʻae kakano, ko eni ia; Ko e tono fefine, mo e feʻauaki, mo e taʻemaʻa, mo e fakalielia, Mo e tauhi tamapua, mo e fie mana, mo e taufehiʻa, mo e fekeʻikeʻi, mo e fefielahiʻaki, mo e lili, mo e feʻiteʻitani, mo e mavahevahe, mo e ngaahi hē, Mo e femehekaʻaki, mo e fefakapoʻaki, mo e faʻa kona, mo e ngaahi kātoanga kai, mo e ngaahi meʻa pehē ni: ʻaia ʻoku ou tomuʻa tala ni kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko ʻeku tala ʻi he kuonga kuo hili, ko kinautolu ʻoku fai ʻae ngaahi meʻa pehē, ʻe ʻikai te nau lavaʻi ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua.
Pea ko kinautolu ʻoku ʻa Kalaisi, kuo nau tutuki ki he ʻakau ʻae kakano mo hono ngaahi ʻofa mo hono ngaahi holi.
He kuo ui ʻakimoutolu, ʻe kāinga, ki he tauʻatāina; kaeʻoua naʻa meʻa ngāueʻaki ʻae tauʻatāina ke fai fakakakano, kae fetauhiʻaki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he ʻofa.
He ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ki hono kakano, te ne utu ʻi he kakano ʻae ʻauha; ka ko ia ʻoku tūtuuʻi ki he Laumālie, te ne utu ʻi he Laumālie ʻae moʻui taʻengata.
He ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ʻi he māmani, ko e holi ʻoe kakano, pea mo e holi ʻoe mata, mo e laukau ʻoe moʻui, ʻoku ʻikai ʻoe Tamai, ka ʻoku ʻoe māmani ia.
ʻAia naʻe kamu ai foki ʻakimoutolu ʻi he kamu taʻefai ʻe he nima, ʻi he siʻaki ʻoe sino ʻoe ngaahi angahala fakakakano ʻi he kamu ʻo Kalaisi:
Leʻo mo lotu, telia naʻa lavaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe he ʻahiʻahi: ko e moʻoni ʻoku fie fai ʻe he laumālie, ka ʻoku vaivai ʻae kakano."
Pea ʻoku ou tala eni, ʻe kāinga, ʻe ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he kakano mo e toto ʻae puleʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua; pea ʻoku ʻikai faʻa maʻu ʻe he ʻauʻauha ʻae taʻefaʻaʻauʻauha.
