1 Na te kaumatua ki te wahine rangatira whiriwhiri ratou ko ana tamariki, e arohatia ponotia nei e ahau; ehara i te mea e ahau anake, engari e nga tangata katoa kua matau ki te pono:
he abhirucite kuriye, tvAM tava putrAMzca prati prAcIno'haM patraM likhAmi|
2 He whakaaro hoki ki te pono e mau nei i roto i a tatou, a e mau ano ki a tatou ake ake: (aiōn )

3 Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa, te mahi tohu, me te rangimarie, he mea na te Atua Matua, na te Ariki hoki, na Ihu Karaiti, na te Tama a te Matua, i runga ano i te pono, i te aroha.

4 Hari pu ahau noku i kite i etahi o au tamariki e haere ana i runga i te pono, e whakarite ana i te ture kua homai ki a tatou e te Matua.

5 Na, tenei ano taku kupu ki a koe, e tai, ehara i te ture hou taku e tuhituhi atu nei ki a koe, engari ko tera i a tatou no te timatanga, kia aroha tatou tetahi ki tetahi.

6 Ko te aroha hoki tenei, kia haere tatou i runga i ana ture. Ko te ture ano tenei, kia rite ki ta koutou i rongo ai i te timatanga, hei runga i tera he haerenga mo koutou.

7 He tokomaha hoki te hunga whakapohehe kua tae mai ki te ao, kahore nei i whakaae i haere mai a Ihu Karaiti i te kikokiko. Ko te kaiwhakapohehe tenei, ko te anatikaraiti.

8 Kia whai whakaaro ki a koutou ano, kei maumauria a tatou mahi, engari kia tino nui te utu e riro i a tatou.

9 Ko te tangata e poka ke ana, kahore nei e mau ki te ako a te Karaiti, kahore te Atua i a ia: ko te tangata e mau ana ki te ako a te Karaiti, kei tenei te Matua me te Tama.

10 Ki te tae atu tetahi ki a koutou, ki te kore tenei ako e kawea e ia, kaua ia e puritia ki te whare, kaua ano hoki e oha ki a ia:

11 Ki te oha hoki etahi ki a ia, ka uru ia ki ana mahi kino.

12 He maha nga mea hei tuhituhinga atu maku ki a koutou, heoi kihai ahau i pai kia tuhia atu ki te pepa, ki te mangumangu: engari e mea ana ahau tera ahau e haere atu ki a koutou, a ka korero atu, he mangai, he mangai, kia tino nui ai to tatou hari.
