1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
1¶ Na, ki te mea kua ara ngatahi koutou me te Karaiti, rapua nga mea o runga, o te wahi e noho mai nei a te Karaiti i te ringa matau o te Atua.
2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
2Kia anga atu to koutou whakaaro ki nga mea o runga, kaua ki nga mea kei te whenua.
3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
3Kua mate hoki koutou, a kua oti to koutou ora te huna ki a te Karaiti i roto i te Atua.
4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
4I te whakakitenga mai o te Karaiti, o to tatou ora, ko reira hoki koutou whakakitea tahitia ai me ia i runga i te kororia.
5Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
5¶ Na, whakamatea o koutou wahi i runga i te whenua; te moe tahae, te poke, te minamina ki te he, te hiahia kino, me te apo, he karakia whakapakoko hoki tena.
6For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
6He mea hoki enei e puta mai ai te riri o te Atua ki nga tamariki a te tutu.
7In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
7I roto hoki koutou i enei mea e haere ana i mua, i a koutou e noho ana i roto i aua mea.
8But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
8¶ Tena ko tenei whakarerea enei mea katoa; te aritarita, te riri, te mauahara, te korero kino, te korero whakarihariha, i roto i o koutou mangai.
9Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
9Kaua e teka tetahi ki tetahi, kua unuhia atu hoki i a koutou te tangata tawhito me ana hanga;
10And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
10Kua kakahuria nei te tangata hou, e whakahoutia nei i runga i te matauranga kia rite ki te ahua o tona kaihanga.
11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
11Kei reira kahore he Kariki, he Hurai ranei, he kotinga, he kotingakore ranei, he Tautangata, Haitiana, pononga, he rangatira ranei: engari ko te Karaiti te katoa, i roto ano i te katoa.
12Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
12¶ Na, kia rite ki te hunga whiriwhiri a te Atua, ki te hunga tapu e arohaina ana, kakahuria iho hoki te ngakau tohu tangata, te ngawari, te ngakau papaku, te ngakau mahaki, te manawanui;
13Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.
13Kia ata hanga koutou tetahi ki tetahi, me te hohou i te rongo tetahi ki tetahi, ki te mea kei tetahi he take riri ki tetahi: kia rite ki ta te Ariki i hohou nei i te rongo ki a koutou, kia pera ano hoki koutou.
14And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
14A hei waho i enei mea katoa uhia ko te aroha, ko te tauhere tika rawa ia.
15And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
15A waiho ma te rangimarie a te Karaiti te whakahaere tikanga i roto i o koutou ngakau: i karangatia hoki koutou ki tenei i roto i te tinana kotahi; kia whakawhetai hoki koutou.
16Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
16Kia noho nui te kupu a te Karaiti i roto i a koutou i runga i te matauranga katoa; me whakaako, me whakatupato tetahi e tetahi ki nga waiata tapu, ki nga himene, ki nga waiata wairua, me te waiata ano ki te Atua i runga i te aroha noa, i roto i o koutou ngakau.
17And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
17Ko nga mea katoa hoki e mea ai koutou, ko nga kupu, ko nga mahi ranei, kia meinga katoatia i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu, me te whakawhetai ano ki te Atua, ara ki te Matua, i roto i a ia.
18Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
18¶ E nga wahine, kia ngohengohe ki a koutou tane ake, kia rite ai ta te Ariki tikanga.
19Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
19E nga tane, arohaina a koutou wahine, kei kaha hoki te riri ki a ratou.
20Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
20E nga tamariki, whakarongo ki o koutou matua i nga mea katoa: he mea pai hoki tenei ki te Ariki.
21Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
21E nga matua, kei arita noa ki a koutou tamariki, kei ngakaukore ratou.
22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;
22E nga pononga, kia whakarongo ki o koutou rangatira o te wahi ki te kikokiko i nga mea katoa: kaua hei ta te kanohi mahi, he whakamanawareka tangata hoki tera; engari hei runga i te ngakau tapatahi, me te wehi ano ki te Atua.
23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
23Ko nga mea katoa e mea ai koutou mahia a ngakautia, hei mea ki te Ariki, a ehara i te mea ki nga tangata;
24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
24Me te matau ano, ka homai e te Ariki ki a koutou te utu, ara te kainga: he pononga hoki koutou na te Ariki, na te Karaiti.
25But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
25Ko te tangata hoki e he ana te mahi, ka whakawhiwhia ano ia ki tana he i mahi ai: kahore hoki he whakapai kanohi.
