| 1:14 | kei roto nei i a ia to tatou whakaoranga i runga i ona toto, te murunga hara. |
| 1:15 | Ko ia te ahua o te Atua e kore e kitea, te matamua o nga mea hanga katoa. |

| 1:17 | A ko ia i mua i te katoa, kei roto ano ia ia nga mea katoa. |
| 1:18 | A ko ia te upoko o tona tinana, te Hahi. Ko ia te timatanga, te matamua o tei pohe, kia noho rangatira ai ia i nga mea katoa. |

| 1:22 | ko tenei kua houhia e ia ta koutou rongo, na tona tinana kikokiko, ma te mate, kia hoatu ai ki a koe, he tapu, he pokekore, he kohakore, i mua i a ia. |
| 1:23 | Na reira, kia mau tonu ki te whakapono: he tino turanga, he u, he kore e taea te neke, i runga i te tumanako o te Rongo-pai kua rongo nei koutou, he mea kauwhau i nga mea hanga katoa i raro i te rangi, ko te Rongopai i, Paora, kua noho hei minita. |
| 1:24 | Inaianei hoki e hari ana ahau ki toku ngakau pouri mo koutou, a ka whakaotia e ahau i roto i toku kikokiko nga mea i hapa i te mamae o te Karaiti, mo tona tinana, ko te Hahi. |
| 1:25 | He minita hoki ahau na te Hahi, kia rite ki ta te Atua tikanga kua homai ki ahau i roto ia koutou, kia rite ai taku kupu a te Atua, |

Kolosa 2
| 2:1 | E mea ana hoki ahau kia mohio koutou ki te ahua o taku whakaaro ki a koutou, ki te hunga hoki i Raorikia, me te hunga hoki kahore nei i kite i toku mata i te kikokiko. |
| 2:2 | Ia tamahanahanahia to ratou aau e ia haapiihia i te aroha, me nga taonga katoa o te nui o te matauranga, i runga ano i te matauranga ki te mea ngaro a te Atua Matua, a Karaiti Ihu hoki. |
| 2:3 | Kei roto hoki i a ia nga taonga katoa o te mahara, o te matauranga e huna ana. |
| 2:4 | Inaianei kua penei taku korero, kei mamingatia koutou e nga kupu whakahirahira. |
| 2:5 | Ahakoa hoki kei tawhiti ahau i te tinana, kei a koutou nei ano toku wairua. A ka hari ahau i ahau e matakitaki ana ki tau tikanga me tona turanga, kei roto i a te Karaiti, to koutou whakapono. |
| 2:6 | No reira, me te mea kua riro na i a koutou te Ariki, a Ihu Karaiti, haere i roto ia ia. |
| 2:7 | Kia whai pakiaka, kia hangai tonu i roto i a te Karaiti. Kia u hoki ki runga ki te whakapono, mai ta outou i haapii mai, e whakanuia ana e ia nga whakawhetai. |
| 2:8 | Kia tupato kei mamingatia koutou e te whakaaro whakaaro nui, e te teka noa, ka kitea i roto i nga tikanga a te tangata, kia rite ki nga awe o te ao, a kahore i rite ki ta te Karaiti. |
| 2:9 | Mo roto ia ia, noho tinana katoa te ki tonu o te Nature Atua. |
| 2:10 | A i roto ia ia, kua whakakiia koe; no te mea ko ia te upoko o nga rangatiratanga katoa, o nga mana katoa. |
| 2:11 | I roto hoki i a ia, he mea kokoti koutou ki te kotinga ehara i te ringa, ehara ma te pahuatanga o te kikokiko, engari i te kotinga o te Karaiti. |
| 2:12 | Kua tanumia koe ki a ia i te iriiringa. I roto hoki i a ia, kua ara ake ano koe i runga i te whakapono, na te mahi a te Atua, nana ia i whakaara ake i te hunga mate. |
| 2:13 | I a koutou hoki i mate i runga i o koutou he, i te kotingakore hoki o to koutou kikokiko, nana koe i whakahauora, tahi me ia, e muru ana i o koutou he katoa, |
| 2:14 | me te muru ano i nga tuhituhinga o te ture i whakahe ia tatou, he mea ke ki a tatou. Kua tangohia atu e ia tenei i roto ia koutou, te whakapiri ki te Ripeka. |
| 2:15 | Na ka pera, ka pahuatia nga rangatiratanga me nga mana, kua arahina atu ratou e ia ma te maia me te marama, te wikitoria i a ratou i roto i a ia ano. |
| 2:16 | No reira, kaua tetahi e whakawa ia koe mo te kai, mo te inu, he ra hakari ranei, ko nga ra hakari kowhititanga marama ranei, o nga hapati ranei. |
| 2:17 | He atarangi enei no nga ra kei mua, no te Karaiti ia te tinana. |
| 2:18 | Kaua tetahi e whakapohehe ia koe, he pai ake ki nga mea iti me te karakia a nga Anahera, e haere ana i runga i nga mea kahore i kitea e ia, he mea whakapoipoatia noa e nga rongo o tona kikokiko, |
| 2:19 | me te kore e hapai i te upoko, e te tinana katoa, na roto i nga hononga o raro me nga hononga, e honoa ana, e tupu ana me te tupu ake i ahu mai i te Atua. |
| 2:20 | Na reira, ki te mea kua mate tahi koutou me te Karaiti ki nga mana o tenei ao, he aha koe i whakatau tonu ai me te mea kei te noho koe i te ao? |
| 2:21 | Kaua e pa, kaua e reka, kaua e hapai i enei mea, |
| 2:22 | ko enei katoa ki te whakangaromanga ma to ratou whakamahinga, kia rite ki nga ako me nga whakaakoranga a te tangata. |
| 2:23 | Ko enei whakaaro he whakaaro nui ki te whai whakaaro nui, engari na roto i te karakia me te whakaiti, kaua e tohungia te tinana, a kahore o ratou honore ki te makona i te kikokiko. |

| 3:1 | No reira, ki te mea kua ara tahi koutou me te Karaiti, rapua nga mea o runga, kei reira te Karaiti e noho ana i te ringa matau o te Atua. |
| 3:2 | Whakaaroa nga mea o runga, ehara i nga mea o te whenua. |
| 3:3 | kua mate hoki koe, no reira kua huna to koutou ora me te Karaiti i roto i te Atua. |
| 3:4 | A te Karaiti, to oranga, puta, ko reira hoki koutou whakakitea tahitia ai me ia i runga i te kororia. |
| 3:5 | No reira, whakapouri i to tinana, i te mea kei runga i te whenua. Mo te moepuku, poke, hiahia, hiahia kino, me te mokemoke, he momo mahi ki nga whakapakoko, |
| 3:6 | kua kaha te riri o te Atua ki nga tamariki o te whakaponokore. |
| 3:7 | Ko koe, hoki, haere i roto i enei mea, i nga wa o mua, i a koe e noho ana i waenganui i a ratou. |
| 3:8 | Engari inaianei me whakarere enei mea katoa: riri, riri, kino, kohukohu, me nga korero whakarihariha a o koutou mangai. |
| 3:9 | Kaua e teka tetahi ki tetahi. Unuhia te koroua, me ana mahi, |
| 3:10 | kakahuria hoki te tangata hou, kua whakahoutia nei e te matauranga, kia rite ki te ahua o te Kaihanga, |
| 3:11 | te wahi kahore he Kariki, he Hurai ranei, te kotinga me te kotingakore, He tauhou, he Haitiana ranei, he pononga kahore he utu. Engari, Ko te Karaiti nga mea katoa, i roto i nga tangata katoa. |
| 3:12 | No reira, whakakakahuria koutou ki te hunga whiriwhiri a te Atua: tapu me te aroha, me te ngakau aroha, atawhai, te haehaa, ngawari, me te manawanui. |
| 3:13 | Tautoko tetahi ki tetahi, a, ki te mea he amuamu tetahi ki tetahi, murua tetahi e tetahi. ka pera hoki me te Ariki i muru nei i ta koutou, kia pera ano hoki ta koutou mahi. |
| 3:14 | A i runga ake i enei mea katoa ko te aroha, ko te here o te tino pai. |
| 3:15 | A ma te rangimarie o te Karaiti e ara ake o koutou ngakau. Mo tenei rangimarie, kua karangatia koe, hei tinana kotahi. A kia mihi. |
| 3:16 | Kia ora nui te kupu a te Karaiti i roto i a koutou, me te whakaaro nui katoa, whakaako me te whakatikatika tetahi i tetahi, me nga waiata, nga himene, me nga waiata wairua, waiata ki te Atua i runga i te aroha noa o o koutou ngakau. |
| 3:17 | Waiho nga mea katoa e mahia ana e koe, ahakoa ma te kupu, ma te mahi ranei, kia mahia nga mea katoa i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, me te whakawhetai atu ano ki te Atua Matua i roto i a ia. |
| 3:18 | Wahine, kia ngohengohe ki a koutou tane, he mea tika i roto i te Ariki. |
| 3:19 | Nga tane, aroha ki a koutou wahine, kaua hoki e kawa ki a ratou. |
| 3:20 | Tamariki, whakarongo ki o koutou matua i nga mea katoa. He mea pai hoki tenei ki te Ariki. |
| 3:21 | E nga matua, kei whakapataritari i a koutou tamariki kia riri, kei ngakaukore ratou. |
| 3:22 | Nga pononga, whakarongo, i roto i nga mea katoa, o koutou rangatira i runga i te kikokiko, kaua e mahi ina kitea ana, me te mea e whakamanawareka ana nga tangata, engari i runga i te ngakau tapatahi, te wehi ki te Atua. |
| 3:23 | Ahakoa he aha taau mahi, mahia ma te ngakau, ko te Ariki, a kaua mo nga tane. |
| 3:24 | E matau ana hoki koutou ka homai e te Ariki ki a koutou te utu, ara tetahi kainga tupu. Mahi ki a te Karaiti te Ariki. |
| 3:25 | Ki te mahi hoki tetahi i te kino, ka utua ano ia mo tana mahi he. A kahore he whakapainga ki te Atua. |
