1Nā, kia rite tā koutou ki tā te Atua, kia pērā me tā ngā tamariki e arohaina ana;2haere hoki i runga i te aroha, kia pērā me te Karaiti i aroha ki a tātou, i tuku i a ia anō mō tātou hei whakahere, hei patunga tapu ki te Atua, hei kakara pai.3Ko te moepuku ia, me ngā mahi poke katoa, me te apo, kaua ēnā e whakahuatia i roto i a koutou, kia rite ki tā te hunga tapu tikanga.4Kaua hoki te mea paruparu, te kōrero wairangi, te kōrero māminga, kāhore nei i tika, erangi ia te whakawhetai.5E tino mātau ana hoki koutou ki tēnei, e kore tētahi tangata moepuku, poke rānei, apo rānei, he kaikarakia nei hoki ia ki te whakapakoko, e whai wāhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Karaiti, ā, o te Atua.6Kei tinihangatia koutou e te tangata ki ngā kupu tekateka noa; nā ēnei mea hoki te riri o te Atua e puta nei ki ngā tamariki a te tutū.7Nā, kaua koutou e uru ki tā rātou.8He pōuri hoki koutou i mua, tēnā ko tēnei, he mārama i roto i te Ariki. Kia rite tā koutou haere ki tā ngā tamariki o te mārama –9kei runga hoki te hua o te mārama i te pai katoa, i te tika, i te pono.10Me whakamātau anō e koutou tā te Ariki e pai ai.11Kei uru koutou ki ngā mahi huakore o te pōuri, engari whakahēngia.12He mea whakamā hoki te whakahua kau i ngā mea e meinga ngarotia nei e rātou.13Ko ngā mea katoa hoki e whakahēngia ana, mā te mārama e whakakite; he mārama hoki ngā mea katoa e whakakitea ana.14Koia hoki tāna kupu nei:“Maranga, e tēnei e moe nei,ara ake i roto i te hunga mate,ā, ka whiti a te Karaiti ki runga ki a koe.”15Nā reira, kia āta tirotiro i tā koutou haere, kei rite ki tā ngā whakaarokore, engari ki tā ngā whakaaro nui;16hokona te tāima mā koutou, he kino hoki ngā rā.17Mō konei rā kei whakaarokore koutou, engari kia mātau ki tā te Ariki e pai ai.18Kaua hoki e haurangi i te wāina, he tōreretanga hoki tēnā ki te hē; engari kia kī i te Wairua;19ko tā koutou kōrero ki a koutou anō, hei te waiata tapu, hei te hīmene, hei te waiata wairua; waiata, hīmene atu, i roto i ō koutou ngākau ki te Ariki;20me te whakawhetai ki te Atua, arā ki te Matua i ngā wā katoa, mō ngā mea katoa, i runga i te ingoa o tō tātou Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti.
Ngā Wāhine me ngā Tāne
21Kia ngohengohe tētahi ki tētahi i runga i te wehi ki a te Karaiti.22E ngā wāhine, kia ngohengohe ki ā koutou tāne ake, hei mea ki te Ariki.23Nō te mea ko te tāne te upoko o te wahine, e rite ana hoki ki a te Karaiti, ko te upoko ia o te hāhi; ko te kaiwhakaora anō ia o te tinana.24Otiia, e ngohengohe ana te hāhi ki tā te Karaiti, kia pērā anō ngā wāhine ki ā rātou tāne i ngā mea katoa.25E ngā tāne, arohaina ā koutou wāhine, kia pērā hoki me te Karaiti i aroha nei ki te hāhi, i hoatu hoki i a ia anō mō taua hāhi;26hei whakatapunga māna, mā rawa i a ia i te horoinga ki te wai, i runga i te kupu,27hei hāhi tāpae māna ki a ia anō, he hāhi korōria rawa, kāhore he ira, kāhore he korukoru, tētahi atu mea pērā rānei, engari kia tapu, kia kohakore.28Me aroha e ngā tāne ā rātou wāhine me te mea ko ō rātou tinana ake anō. Ko te tangata e aroha ana ki tāna wahine ake, e aroha ana ki a ia ake anō.29Kāhore hoki tētahi kia kino noa ki tōna kikokiko ake; engari e atawhai ana, e whakaahuru ana, e pērā tonu ana me tā te Karaiti ki te hāhi;30he wāhi hoki tātou nō tōna tinana.31“Mō konei rā ka whakarērea ai e te tangata tōna pāpā me tōna whaea, ā, ka piri ki tāna wahine, ka kikokiko kotahi tō rāua tokorua.”32He nui tēnei mea ngaro; otiia, mō te Karaiti rāua ko te hāhi tāku kōrero.33Engari, kia rite ki tōna aroha ki a ia ake anō tō koutou aroha, tō tēnei, tō tēnei, ki tāna wahine, ki tāna wahine; me te wahine anō, kia hopohopo ia ki tāna tāne.
