1 Coríntios 7

He Pātai mō te Mārenatanga

1 Nā, mō ngā mea i tuhi­tuhi mai nā koutou:

He mea pai anō mō te tangata kia kaua e pā ki te wahine. 2 Otiia, he whaka­aro kei moe­puku, kia rite mā te tāne he wahine māna ake, ā, mā te wahine he tāne māna ake. 3 Kia puta te whaka­aro pai o te tāne ki te wahine, hei te mea e tika ana; me tō te wahine hoki ki te tāne. 4 Ehara te wahine i te ranga­tira o tōna tinana ake, engari, te tāne; me te tāne anō, ehara ia i te ranga­tira o tōna ake tinana, engari, te wahine. 5 Kaua e kai­ponu tētahi i tētahi; hāunga ia ki te āta whaka­ritea mō tētahi wā, kia ātea ai kōrua ki te noho­puku, ki te īnoi, ka hoki ai anō ki a kōrua, kei ai tō kōrua hia­hia tai­kaha hei whaka­wai mā Hātana i a kōrua.
