1 Kia ngohe­ngohe ngā wairua katoa ki ngā mana nunui. Kāhore hoki he mana, nō te Atua anake; ko ngā mana o tēnei wā he mea whaka­rite nā te Atua. 2 Nā, ki te whaka­keke tētahi ki te mana, e whaka­keke ana ia ki tā te Atua i whaka­rite ai; ā, ko te mea hoki mō te hunga e whaka­keke ana, he whaka­tau hē. 3 Ehara hoki ngā ranga­tira i te whaka­wehi mō ngā mahi pai, engari mō ngā mahi kino. E mea ana koe kia kaua e wehi i te mana? Meatia te pai, ā, he whaka­moe­miti tāna e hōmai ai ki a koe; 4 he minita hoki ia nā te Atua ki a koe mō te pai. Tēnā, ki te mahi koe i te kino, e wehi rā; ehara hoki tāna i te mau noa i te hoari. He minita hoki ia nā te Atua, he kai­rapu utu mō te riri ki te kai­mahi i te kino. 5 Koia i takoto ai te tikanga kia ngohe­ngohe koutou, ehara i te mea he whaka­aro kau ki te riri, engari, ki tā te hine­ngaro anō hoki.

6 Nā konei hoki koutou i hoatu ai i te takoha. He minita hoki rātou nā te Atua, he hunga hoki e mau tonu ana ki tēnei mea pū anō. 7 Hoatu ngā mea i tika ki te katoa: he takoha tangata ki te tangata i tika ai te takoha tangata; he takoha taonga ki te tangata i tika ai te takoha taonga; he wehi ki te tangata i tika ai te wehi; he hōnore ki te tangata i tika ai te hōnore.

8 Kaua e nama ki tētahi, ko te aroha anake o tētahi ki tētahi; ko te tangata hoki e aroha ana ki tōna hoa tata, kua whaka­ritea e ia te ture. 9 Ko tēnei hoki, "Kaua e pūremu, Kaua e patu tangata, Kaua e tāhae, Kaua e hia­hia ki tā te tangata"; ā, ki te mea tērā atu anō tētahi kupu ako, ka whaka­rā­po­poto­tia ki roto ki tēnei kupu, arā, "Kia aroha ki tōu hoa tata, ānō ko koe." 10 E kore te aroha e kino ki tōna hoa; nō reira ko te aroha te whaka­rite­nga o te ture.

11 Tēnei anō hoki tētahi, e mōhio ana tātou ki te tāima, kua taka noa ake tēnei te wā e ara ake ai koutou i te moe. Kua tata kē hoki ināia­nei tō tātou whaka­ora­nga i tō te wā i whaka­pono tua­tahi ai tātou. 12 Kua aua atu te pō, ka tata te ao. Mō konei rā kia whaka­rērea e tātou ngā mahi o te pōuri, kia kākahu­ria iho ngā kākahu whawhai o te mārama. 13 Kia pai tā tātou haere, kia rite ki tō te awa­tea; kauaka i ngā ka­kai­nga, i ngā hau­rangi­tanga, kaua i te pūremu, i ngā hia­hia tai­kaha, kaua i te nga­ngau, i te hae. 14 Engari, kākahu­ria iho te Ariki, a Īhu Karaiti, kaua hoki e whaka­aroa wawe­tia te kiko­kiko kia mahia ko ōna hia­hia.
