Romanos 6

4 Nā, kua tanu­mia ngā­tahi­tia tātou me ia ki roto ki te mate­nga, he mea nā te iri­iri; kia rite ai ki a te Karaiti i whaka­ara­hia ake nei i te hunga mate e te korōria o te Matua, wai­hoki ko tātou kia haere i roto i te hou­tanga o te ora.

5 Ki te mea hoki kua honoa tātou ki a ia i runga i te āhua o tōna mate­nga, ka honoa anō tātou ki a ia i runga i te āhua o tōna aranga. 6 E mōhio ana hoki ki tēnei, kua rīpeka­tia ngā­tahi­tia me ia tō tātou tangata tawhito, kia hemo ai te tinana o te hara, kia mutu ai tō tātou pononga­tanga ki te hara. 7 Ko te mea hoki kua mate, kua mawheto ia i te hara.
