1. E oku teina, ahakoa ra i rokohanga te tangata e tetahi he, ma koutou, ma te hunga i te Wairua, e whakaara ake ia i runga i te wairua mahaki; me te titiro iho ano ki a koe, kei whakamatautauria hoki ko koe.
2. Pikaua e tetahi nga whakataimaha o tetahi, hei whakarite i ta te Karaiti ture.
3. Ki te mahara hoki tetahi tangata ki a ia ano he mea nui ia, i te mea he kore noa iho ia, e nuka ana ia ki a ia ano.
4. Engari ma ia tangata e whakamatau tana ake mahi, ka ai ai he mea hei whakamanamanatanga mona ki tana anake, kahore ki ta tetahi atu.
5. Ka riro hoki ma ia tangata e pikau tana kawenga.
6. Ko te tangata e whakaakona ana ki te kupu, me whakawhiwhi e ia tona kaiwhakaako ki nga mea pai katoa.
7. Kei whakapohehetia koutou; kahore te Atua e tinihangatia: ko ta te tangata hoki e rui ai, ko tena tana e kokoti ai.
8. Ko te tangata hoki e rui ana, he whakaaro ki tona kikokiko, he pirau tana e kokoti ai o te kikokiko; ko te tangata ia e rui ana, he whakaaro ki te Wairua, ko te ora tonu tana e kokoti ai o te Wairua.
9. A kaua tatou e ngakaukore ki te mahi i te pai: tena tona wa e rite ai ka kokoti tatou ki te kahore tatou e ngoikore.
10. Na reira, i te mea e whai takiwa ana tatou, kia mahi tatou i te pai ki nga tangata katoa, a tera noa ake ki te hunga o te whare o te whakapono.
11. Titiro ki te nui o nga reta e tuhituhi nei toku ringa ake ki a koutou.
12. Ko te hunga e hiahia ana ko te ahua o te kikokiko kia pai, ko ratou hei mea i a koutou kia kotia; he mea kau kei whakatoria ratou mo te ripeka o te Karaiti.
13. Kahore hoki taua hunga i kotia ana e mau ki te ture; engari e hiahia ana kia kotia koutou, kia whakamanamana ai ratou ki to koutou kikokiko.
14. Ki ahau ia kaua rawa he whakamanamana, ko te ripeka anake o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, i ripekatia ai te ao ki ahau, me ahau hoki ki te ao.
15. Kahore he aha o te kotinga, kahore o te kotingakore, engari ko te mea hanga hou.
16. Na ko te hunga e haere ana i runga i tenei tikanga, kia tau te rangimarie me te mahi tohu ki a ratou, ki te Iharaira hoki a te Atua.
17. A muri ake nei kaua tetahi e whakararuraru i ahau: e mau ana hoki ki toku tinana nga tohu a Ihu.
18. E oku teina, kia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, ki o koutou wairua. Amine.
