1 Peter 2:4-9
Maori Bible
4 Ko to koutou haerenga mai ki a ia ki te kohatu ora, i whakakahoretia nei e nga tangata, he mea whiriwhiri ia na te Atua, he mea utu nui;
5 Ka hanga hoki koutou, ano he kohatu ora hei whare, ara hei mea wairua, hei tohungatanga tapu, hei tapae atu i nga patunga tapu, ara i nga mea wairua, he mea e manakohia ana e te Atua i runga i a Ihu Karaiti.
6 Mo reira tera wahi o te karaipiture, Na, ka whakatakotoria e ahau ki Hiona te tino kamaka o te kokonga, he mea whiriwhiri, he mea utu nui, a, ko te tangata e whakapono ana ki a ia e kore e tukua kia whakama.
7 Ki a koutou e whakapono na he mea utu nui ia: ki te hunga whakaponokore ia, ko te kamaka i kapea e nga kaihanga, kua meinga tenei hei upoko mo te kokonga,
8 Hei kamaka tutukitanga waewae ia, hei toka whakahinga; ki te hunga e tutuki ana ki te kupu, ki te hunga whakaponokore: i whakaritea mai hoki ratou hei penei.
9 Ko koutou ia he iwi whiriwhiri, he tohungatanga kingi, he iwi tapu, he iwi kua riro pu mai ma te Atua; hei whakapuaki i nga pai o te kaikaranga i a koutou i roto i te pouri ki tona marama whakamiharo:

New International Version
The Living Stone and a Chosen People
4 As you come to him, the living Stone(A)—rejected by humans but chosen by God(B) and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built(C) into a spiritual house[a](D) to be a holy priesthood,(E) offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.(F) 6 For in Scripture it says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a chosen and precious cornerstone,(G)
and the one who trusts in him
will never be put to shame.”[b](H)
7 Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,(I)
8 and,
They stumble because they disobey the message—which is also what they were destined for.(M)
9 But you are a chosen people,(N) a royal priesthood,(O) a holy nation,(P) God’s special possession,(Q) that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.(R)
