New Testament in a Year

7  Na mo nga mea i tuhituhi mai na koutou: he mea pai ano mo te tangata kia kaua e pa ki te wahine.

² Otiia, he whakaaro kei moepuku, kia rite ma te tane he wahine mana ake, a ma te wahine he tane mana ake.

³ Kia puta te whakaaro pai o te tane ki te wahine, hei te mea e tika ana: me to te wahine hoki ki te tane.

⁴ Ehara te wahine i te rangatira o tona tinana ake, engari te tane: me te tane ano, ehara ia i te rangatira o tona ake tinana, engari te wahine.

⁵ Kaua e kaiponu tetahi i tetahi; haunga ia ki te ata whakaritea mo tetahi wa, kia atea ai korua ki te nohopuku, ki te inoi, ka hoki ai ano ki a korua, kei ai to korua hiahia taikaha hei whakawai ma Hatana i a korua.

⁶ Otira ko tenei korero aku he mea whakaae noa, ehara i te tikanga whakatakoto.

⁷ Ko taku ia i pai ai, kia penei nga tangata katoa i ahau nei. Otira e homai ana e te Atua te ahua mona ki ia tangata, ki ia tangata, ki tetahi ko tenei, ki tetahi ko tera.

⁸ Ko taku kupu ia tenei ki nga takakau, ki nga wahine pouaru, He mea pai mo ratou kia kati tonu me ahau nei.

⁹ Otira ki te kore e taea e raua te whakamanawanui, me marena: he pai ake hoki te marena i te kaka o te ngakau.

¹⁰ Ko taku whakahau ia tenei ki te hunga whai hoa, ehara i ahau, engari ko te Ariki, Aua te wahine e mawehe ke i tana tane:

¹¹ Engari, ki te mawehe ia, me noho hoakore, me hohou ranei te rongo ki tana tane: kaua hoki te tane e whakarere i tana wahine.

¹² Ki era atu ia ko taku kupu tenei, ehara i te Ariki: Ki te mea he wahine kore whakapono ta tetahi o nga teina, a ka whakaae taua wahine kia noho tahi raua, kaua ia e whakarerea e ia.

¹³ A ko te wahine, he tane kore whakapono tana, a ka whakaae kia noho tahi raua, kaua ia e whakarere i tana tane.

¹⁴ No te mea e whakatapua ana te tane whakaponokore e te wahine, e whakatapua ana hoki te wahine whakaponokore e te tane: me he kahore, kua poke a korua tamariki, tena ko tenei he tapu ratou.

¹⁵ Ki te mawehe ke ia te whakaponokore, mana e mawehe ke. E kore tetahi teina, tuahine ranei, e mau te here e nga mea pena: otira kua karangatia tatou e te Atua ki te rangimarie.

¹⁶ Ma te aha koe e mohio ai, e tai, ka ora ranei i a koe tau tane? a koe ranei, e te tane, ma te aha ka mohio ai, ka ora i a koe tau wahine?

¹⁷ Heoi anake, kia rite ki ta te Atua tuwahanga ki tena, ki tena, ki tana karangatanga hoki ki tena, ki tena, kia pera tana haere. Na ko taku whakatakoto tena i roto i nga hahi katoa.

¹⁸ He mea kokoti tetahi i tona karangatanga? kaua e whakakahoretia tona kotinga. He mea kokotikore tetahi i tona karangatanga? kaua a e kotia.

¹⁹ He mea kore noa iho te kotinga, he mea kore noa iho ano te kotingakore, engari ia te pupuri i a te Atua ture.
