| Chapter 6 |
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. -
