1 Nā, ki te mea kua ara ngātahi koutou me te Karaiti, rapua ngā mea o runga, o te wāhi e noho mai nei ā te Karaiti i te ringa matau o te Atua. 2 Kia anga atu tō koutou whakaaro ki ngā mea o runga, kaua ki ngā mea kei te whenua. 3 Kua mate hoki koutou, ā, kua oti tō koutou ora te huna ki a te Karaiti i roto i te Atua. 4 I te whakakitenga mai o te Karaiti, o tō tātou ora, ko reira hoki koutou whakakitea tahitia ai me ia i runga i te korōria.
Te Oranga ō Mua me te Oranga Hou
5 Nā, whakamatea ō koutou wāhi i runga i te whenua; te moe tāhae, te poke, te minamina ki te hē, te hiahia kino, me te apo, he karakia whakapakoko hoki tēnā. 6 He mea hoki ēnei e puta mai ai te riri o te Atua ki ngā tamariki a te tutū. 7 I roto hoki koutou i ēnei mea e haere ana i mua, i ā koutou e noho ana i roto i aua mea.
8 Tēnā ko tēnei whakarērea ēnei mea katoa; te āritarita, te riri, te mauāhara, te kōrero kino, te kōrero whakarihariha, i roto i ō koutou māngai. 9 Kaua e teka tētahi ki tētahi, kua unuhia atu hoki i a koutou te tangata tawhito me āna hanga. 10 Kua kākahuria nei te tangata hou, e whakahoutia nei i runga i te mātauranga kia rite ki te āhua o tōna kaihanga. 11 Kei reira kāhore he Kariki, he Hūrai rānei, he kotinga, he kotingakore rānei, he tautangata, Haitiana, pononga, he rangatira rānei; engari ko te Karaiti te katoa, i roto anō i te katoa.
12 Nā, kia rite ki te hunga whiriwhiri a te Atua, ki te hunga tapu e arohaina ana, kākahuria iho hoki te ngākau tohu tangata, te ngāwari, te ngākau pāpaku, te ngākau māhaki, te manawanui. 13 Kia āta hanga koutou tētahi ki tētahi, me te hohou i te rongo tētahi ki tētahi, ki te mea kei tētahi he take riri ki tētahi; kia rite ki tā te Ariki i hohou nei i te rongo ki a koutou, kia pērā anō hoki koutou. 14 Ā, hei waho i ēnei mea katoa uhia ko te aroha, ko te tauhere tika rawa ia. 15 Ā, waiho mā te rangimārie a te Karaiti te whakahaere tikanga i roto i ō koutou ngākau. I karangatia hoki koutou ki tēnei i roto i te tinana kotahi; kia whakawhetai hoki koutou. 16 Kia noho nui te kupu a te Karaiti i roto i a koutou i runga i te mātauranga katoa; me whakaako, me whakatūpato tētahi e tētahi ki ngā waiata tapu, ki ngā hīmene, ki ngā waiata wairua, me te waiata anō ki te Atua i runga i te aroha noa, i roto i ō koutou ngākau. 17 Ko ngā mea katoa hoki e mea ai koutou, ko ngā kupu, ko ngā mahi rānei, kia meinga katoatia i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, o Īhu, me te whakawhetai anō ki te Atua, arā ki te Matua i roto i a ia.
Te Pānga Whaiaro i roto i te Oranga Hou
18 E ngā wāhine, kia ngohengohe ki ā koutou tāne ake, kia rite ai tā te Ariki tikanga.
19 E ngā tāne, arohaina ā koutou wāhine, kei kaha hoki te riri ki a rātou.
20 E ngā tamariki, whakarongo ki ō koutou mātua i ngā mea katoa; he mea pai hoki tēnei ki te Ariki.
21 E ngā mātua, kei ārita noa ki ā koutou tamariki, kei ngākaukore rātou.
22 E ngā pononga, kia whakarongo ki ō koutou rangatira o te wāhi ki te kikokiko i ngā mea katoa. Kaua hei tā te kanohi mahi, he whakamānawareka tāngata hoki tērā; engari hei runga i te ngākau tapatahi, me te wehi anō ki te Atua. 23 Ko ngā mea katoa e mea ai koutou mahia-ā-ngākautia, hei mea ki te Ariki, ā, ehara i te mea ki ngā tāngata; 24 me te mātau anō, ka hōmai e te Ariki ki a koutou te utu, arā te kāinga; he pononga hoki koutou nā te Ariki, nā te Karaiti. 25 Ko te tangata hoki e hē ana te mahi, ka whakawhiwhia anō ia ki tāna hē i mahi ai; kāhore hoki he whakapai kanohi.
