Epeha 1:3-6

Ngā Manaakitanga Wairua i roto i te Karaiti

3 Kia whaka­pai­ngia te Atua, te Matua o tō tātou Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti, nāna nei tātou i manaaki ki ngā manaaki katoa o te wairua ki ngā wāhi o te rangi, i roto i a te Karaiti; 4 i runga i te tikanga i whiri­whiria ai tātou e ia i roto i a ia i mua i te oroko­hanga­nga o te ao, hei hunga tapu, koha­kore i tōna aro­aro.

I runga i te aroha 5 he mea whaka­rite hoki tātou nāna i mua, hei tama māna, i roto i a Īhu Karaiti, ko tā tōna whaka­aro hoki i pai ai, 6 hei whaka­moe­miti mō te korōria o tōna aroha noa, i ata­whai­tia ai tātou i roto i tāna i aroha ai.
