1 John 4:17-21
Maori Bible
17 Na konei te aroha i roto i a tatou i rite pu ai, a ka whai maiatanga ano tatou a te ra whakawa: na te mea e rite ana ki a ia tatou e noho nei i tenei ao.
18 Kahore he mataku i roto i te aroha: engari ka maka te mataku ki waho e te aroha ina tino rite; no te mea he mamae to te mataku. Ko te tangata hoki e mataku ana, kahore ia i tino rite i roto i te aroha.
19 E aroha ana tatou ki a ia, no te mea ko ia kua matua aroha ki a tatou.
20 Ki te mea tetahi, E aroha ana ahau ki te Atua, a e mauahara ana ki tona teina, he tangata teka ia: ko te tangata hoki kahore e aroha ki tona teina i kitea nei e ia, me pehea ka aroha ai ia ki te Atua kahore nei i kitea e ia?
21 Kei a tatou ano hoki tenei ture, he mea nana, Ko te tangata e aroha ana ki te Atua, kia aroha hoki ki tona teina.
