¹I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

¹¶ Na, ko taku whakahau tenei i te tuatahi o nga mea katoa, kia puta nga inoi, nga karakia, nga inoi wawao, nga whakawhetai, mo nga tangata katoa;

²For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

²Mo nga kingi, mo te hunga whai mana katoa hoki: kia ata noho marie ai tatou i runga i nga whakaaro karakia, i nga tikanga mahara katoa.

³For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

³He mea pai tenei, he mea e manakohia ana i te aroaro o te Atua, o to tatou Kaiwhakaora;

⁴Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

⁴Ko tana nei e pai ai ko nga tangata katoa kia ora, kia haere mai hoki ki te matauranga ki te pono.

⁵For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

⁵Kotahi tonu te Atua, kotahi te takawaenga o te Atua, o nga tangata, ko ia ano he tangata, ara ko Karaiti Ihu;

⁶Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

⁶I hoatu nei i a ia hei utu mo te katoa; he mea kia whakaaturia i ona wa ake;

⁷Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

⁷A meinga ana ahau hei karere, hei apotoro mo taua mea; he pono taku korero i roto i a te Karaiti, kahore aku teka; hei kaiwhakaako mo nga tauiwi i runga i te whakapono, i te pono.

⁸I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

⁸Na, ko taku e pai ai, ko nga tane kia inoi i nga wahi katoa, kia tapu nga ringa ina ara, kaua he riri, he tautohetohe.

⁹In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

⁹¶ Ko nga wahine hoki kia mau i te kakahu ataahua, kia tu whakama, kia whai whakaaro; kauaka te makawe whiri, te koura, te peara, te kakahu utu nui;

¹⁰But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

¹⁰Engari ko te mea e tau ana mo nga wahine e whakaae ana ki te karakia, ara ko nga mahi pai.

¹¹Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

¹¹Me ako marie te wahine kia nui te ngohengohe.

¹²But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

¹²E kore hoki e tukua e ahau te wahine kia whakaako, kia neke ake ranei tana tikanga i ta te tane, engari me ata noho.

¹³For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

¹³Ko Arama hoki kua hanga i mua, muri iho ko Iwi.

¹⁴And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

¹⁴A kihai a Arama i tinihangatia, ko te wahine ia i tinihangatia, a taka ana ki te he.

¹⁵Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

¹⁵Otira ka ora ia i te whanautanga tamariki, ki te mau tonu to ratou whakapono, aroha, tapu, whakaaro.
