1Nā te Karaiti i wewete te here i a tātou. Nā reira, kia ū te tū, kei mau hoki ki roto ki te ioka pononga.
2Nana, tēnei ahau, a Paora te mea nei ki a koutou, ki te kotia koutou, e kore koutou e whai pai i a te Karaiti.
3He whakaatu tuarua tēnei nāku ki ngā tāngata katoa e kotia ana, kua mau rātou i te ture kia mahia katoatia.
4Kua wehea atu koutou i a te Karaiti, e te hunga e whakatikaia ana e te ture, kua taka iho koutou i runga i te aroha noa.
5Ko tātou hoki, nā te Wairua tā tātou tatari ki te tika e tūmanakohia atu nei, e ahu mai nei i te whakapono.
6I roto hoki i a Karaiti Īhu kāhore o te kotinga wāhi, kāhore o te kotingakore; engari, ko te whakapono e mahi ana i runga i te aroha.
7I pai tā koutou oma; nā wai koutou i whakaware, i kore ai koutou e rongo ki te pono?
8Ehara tēnei whakaaro i te mea nā te kaikaranga i a koutou.
9He iti te rēwena, rēwenatia ake te pūranga katoa.
10E whakapono ana ahau ki a koutou i roto i te Ariki, e kore e rere kē ō koutou whakaaro. Ko te kaiwhakararu ia i a koutou, ahakoa ko wai, māna anō tōna whakawākanga e pīkau.
11Me ahau anō, e ōku tēina, ki te mea he kauwhau tonu nei tāku i te kotinga, he aha ahau ka whakatoia tonutia ai? Pēnei kua kore tō te rīpeka tūtukitanga waewae.
12Pai kau ki ahau me i motuhia atu te hunga e whakararu nā i a koutou.
13Kua karangatia nei hoki koutou, e ōku tēina, ki te tikanga herekore; kaua ia tā koutou tikanga herekore e waiho hei whakaoho i te kikokiko, engari me mahi koutou tētahi ki tētahi i runga i te aroha.
14E takoto tōpū ana hoki te ture katoa i roto i te kupu kotahi, arā, “Kia aroha koe ki tōu hoa tata, ānō ko koe.”
15Ki te ngau ia koutou, ki te kai tētahi i tētahi, kia tūpato kei pareho tētahi i tētahi.
Te Hiahia o te Kikokiko o te Wairua rānei16Ko tāku kupu ia tēnei, haere i roto i te Wairua, ā, e kore e whakaritea e koutou te hiahia o te kikokiko.
17E hiahia ana hoki te kikokiko tika kē i te Wairua, me te Wairua tika kē i te kikokiko; e whawhai ana hoki ēnei tētahi ki tētahi; tē taea ngā mea i hiahia ai koutou.
18Ki te ārahina ia koutou e te Wairua, kāhore koutou i raro i te ture.
19Nā, e kitea ana ngā mahi a te kikokiko, arā, he moe tāhae, he poke, he hiahia taikaha,
20he karakia whakapakoko, he mākutu, he pakanga, he totohe, he hae, he riri, he wāwāhi, he wehewehe, he tītore,
21he hao, he haurangi, he kakai, me ngā mea e rite ana ki ēnei. Me kōrero wawe e ahau ēnei mea ki a koutou, me pērā me tāku i kōrero ai i mua, ko te hunga e mahi ana i ngā mea pēnei, e kore e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.
22Ko te hua ia o te Wairua, he aroha, he hari, he rangimārie, he manawanui, he ngāwari, he ngākau pai, he whakapono,
23he ngākau māhaki, he ngākau kua taea te pēhi. Kāhore he ture e rīria ai ēnei mea.
24Ko te hunga ia o te Karaiti, kua rīpekatia e rātou te kikokiko, me ōna hihiritanga, me ōna hiahia.
25Ki te mea e ora ana tātou i roto i te Wairua, kia haere anō tātou i roto i te Wairua.
26Kei whāia e tātou te korōria huakore, te whakapātaritari tētahi ki tētahi, te hae tētahi ki tētahi.
