7 I say unto you, that thus there shall be joy in heaven for one repenting sinner, {more} than for ninety and nine righteous who have no need of repentance.

7 Ko taku kupu tenei ki a koutou, ka pera ano te hari i te rangi mo te tangata hara kotahi ina ripeneta, nui atu i te hari mo nga tangata tika e iwa tekau ma iwa, kahore nei o ratou mea e ripeneta ai.
