E akaka auanei ma keia muu mea, he Oihaūa ka i haawi kiuo ia i kela mea i kaei mea e lawelawe ana i ko Eristo Ekalesla i kukulu ai maluna o ke "Kahua a oa Aposet«lo (Lunaolelo) i kukulu ai," a ooloko oia Oihana ekolu papa kahuoa i akakai. £ ao paha au, o i mai auanei na koo o ke Kuokoa, pela no makou e hana nei, a pela no hoi makou u ao nei. _A.ole o makou hoole ia mau hoike au e kuhikohi mai neī, no ka mea, ua ike makou, elua.wale no paha kahuna a makou i ike ai, a pela no makou e paa nei a hiki i keia la. Oia no oa Lunaolelo o makou, a me na Diakona, i waeia i poe kokua i na hana a na Lunaolelo e like la aie ka mea i oleloia ma Oih. 6:1, a hikii ke 6. Mai hooko au i ka na koo oke Kuokoa, ina ia nei i pau ai na hoike o ke Kauoha Hou oo kekahi papa kahuoa e ae. Aka, heluhelu loa aku laau, a ike iholai keia mau olelo ma'Oih. 15:2, penei: " Manao iho la Iakoo e hele o Paulo me Bareuaba, a me kekahi poe o lakou i Ierusalema, ina Lunaolelo a ine na Lunakahiko &c." Ka'ulua iho la kuu ike ana i ke ano o keia poe, i kapaia he poe Luiiakahiko, a i ku kaawale loa ae mai na Lunaolelo. Heluhelu Ioa aku la au a hikī i ka pauku 4, e i ana : " A .hiki lakou i Ierusalema, apt> mai la ka Ekaia lakou, a me na Lunaolelo a me na Lunak:thiko &c." Ma ka pauku 6, ua olelo īa, " Hoakoakoa ae la ka poe Lunaolelo a me na Lunakahiko &c." Pela no ma ka pauku 2*2, "Alaila, manao iho la na Lunaoielo a me na Lunakahiko a me ka Ekalesia a pau &c." No ke kuawili loa o keia mau olelo ana, no na Lunaolelo a me na Luoakahiko, kaana iho la au iloko o'u, me ka ninau iho, heaha la keia pi>e i kapaia he poe Lunakahiko ? He mea moopopo, aole lakou he mau Lunaolelo, aole no hoi he poe i kapaia he poe Diakona. Ua oleloia ma ka Oih. 16:4, " He mau Lonaolelo a me oa Luoakahiko ma Ierusalema," o noho ana ia wa. Oia ka makahiki 53. He iwakalua makahiki mahope iho 0 ke kukulu ia ana o ka £kalesia i ka laPenetek»a, A. D 33. Aka, ua olelo mua ia no nae, no na Lunakahiko, he - mau makahiki ehiku maama aku o keia, Oih. 14:23. Ua hemahema keia pauku 23, ma ka unuhi ia ana. Penei ka poloiei . "Aikolauawa 1 hoonoho ai ia lakou (oia hoi na haumana i oleloia ma ka pauku 33,) i mau Lunakahiko iloko o kela Ekalesia keia Ekalesia 8cc." Renei ka mea.e paa nei ma ka olelo Hawaii: " A hoonoho iho la laua i poe Lunakahiko &c." 0 ke ano o ka huaolelo " hoonoho," i ole!oia, ua like ia me ke " kukulu," " hoopaa," a " hoolilo." Oia hoi, hoonoho, kukulu, hoopaa, a hoolilo i " Lunakahiko no kela Ekalesia keia Ekalesia." Mahope mai, ai keia manawa no, u& hoolilo ia ke ano o kei& huaolelo he " hoonoho a hoolilo kahuna, a poni kahuna " ia paha. Nolaila, o ke ano maoli o kela huaolelo he " hoonoha " i oleloia, oia no ka poni ana i na Lunakahiko i poni kahuna no kela Ekalesia keia Ekaleaia a Paulo ma laua o Bareoat>a i hele ai. Ina na oa Lunaolelo o Paulo ma laua o Barenaba i poni keia mau Lunakahiko m« na wahi e ae raawaho-ae o ke kulaoakauhale 0 Ierusalema, alail.), he mea maopopo, pela no hoi na Lunaolelo ina Ierusaleina i hana'i. A oolaila, i piiku ai kela olelo ana ma ka Oih. 15:2, a Paulo ma i hele aku ai e hoopao a e hooliolo mai i na kamailio hoopaapaa, a kue mawaona o lakou, a e hele aku imua o na Lunaolelo a me na Lunakahiko e ooho ana ma Icrusalema. E alakai ae au i ka poe heluhelu ma ka Palapala a Paulo i ko Pilipi, mok. I, pauku 1, apenei ka hoomaopopo aoa oia pauku, no keia mau papa kahuna okoa. " O Paulo a me Tirnoteo na kauwa .a Iesu Kristo (oia hoi na Lunaolelo) i ka poe haipule (oia hoi na hoahanau) a pau iloko o Kristo Iesu e noho ana 1 Pilipi, me oa Lunakiai (oia hōi ka Bihopa, Lunakahiko a Luna Ekalesia) a me na Diakona, (oia hoi o Puuku Ekalesia) &c." . Ua lehulehu ka poe i kuhihewa ma ke ao ia ana, no ke ano o ka huaolelo Lunakahiko, a Luna Ekaleaia. Ke manao nei kekahi poe he Oihana okoa ka ka Lunakaliiko, a he Oihana okoa ka ka Luna Ekaleaia. Aole pela Hookahl no Oihana no keia mau Luua a i elua, a no ka unuhi ana ka hewa. Ua lehulehu nn wahi i oleloia he Lunakahiko, a ma ke kau wahii, ira:ole!oia Le Luna Ekaleeia ; a ma ke kau wahi uu oleloia he kanaka knhiko. E like la me i unnhiia ma ka 1 Tirnoteo 5:1,.a penei no in. " Mai papa ikaika i ke kanaka kahiko, &c." O ka pololei o keia, penei no iu : " Mai pnpa ikaika i kekuhi Lunnkahiko, &c." No ka mea, ina e n«na ka mea helnhelu ma ka Oih. 3:1, e ike auanei oia, he olelo ao.keia na Paulo ia Timoteo oo nn: mea i pili i ka Oihana kahuna ; oia hoi ka poe e noho ana malalo onn. E nana hou ka men heluhelu mn 1 Timoteo 5:19. (Ja like ke ao ia ana o Timnteo e Paulo, no na Lunakahiko, ke loaa kekahi hoahewa ia ana o ka Lunakahiko, e like me ka mea i oleIoaoia ai ma ka pnuku 1. Ua hai inua ae nei au, o kokohi nno o ka huaolelo " Bihopa," oia no ka huaolela "Lukiai a Lunakohiko." 0 ka huaolelo " Bilio> pa," i unuhiia ma ka 1 Timot. 3:2, ma ka olelu Helene a me ka olelo Enelnni, ua unuhiia " kaliuna pule," aka, o ka pololei, he Lunnknhiko, ii he Lunakiai, a i ole ia he Bihopa pnha. Penei ka pono ke heluheluia ka pauku 3, mok, 3 o I Timoteo. " Eia k»
pono no ka Laaakiai, (oa hoi ka Lanakahiko aßihopa( i kane na ka wahine hookahi &c." Ma kei« Mokuna 3 no o Timoteo e akaka ai, he okoa ke ao ana aku a Paulo i na Lukiai, (oia hoi Bihopa a Lunakahiko hoi') a he okoa ko na Diakona i kapaia he poe Puuka Ekalesia. E like la me ka mea i oleloia ma l Timoteo 3:8. Pene!: " Pela hoi ka Puuku Eka!esia (oia hoi ke Diakonn,) e pono e noho hanohano &c." E heluhelu no - keia a hiki i pauku 16. E nana hou ma ka Paulo palapala ia Tito, e olelo' ana, "No keia au i hoonoho aku ai ia oe ma. Kerete, e hooponopono oe i ua mea hemahema, a e kukulu (oia hoi, hoonoho, hoolilo, a poni,) hoi i na Luna Ekalesia (nia hoi, Lunakahiko, Lunakiai a Bihopa) iloko o na kulauakauhale a pau, e like me ka'u kauoha ia oe." Mn keia i pau ai ke kanalua. ana, no ka hoakaka aoa i na Papa Kahuna Ekolu o ka Ekalesia. O Tito ka Lunaolelo (oia hoi, Aposetolo,) i hoonoho ia'i e Paulo roa Kerete, e 'uoolilo a e poni i poe Lunakahiko ma na kulanakauliale a pau, a Paulo i kauoha aku ai. A e like me ke ao aoa a Paulo ia Timoteo, pela no ke ao ana ia Tito maka mokuna .1:7. " E pono e hala ole ka Luna Ekalesia &.c." iAoleipau.)
