¹But do *thou* speak the things that become sound teaching;

¹¶ Ko koe ia, korerotia nga mea e rite ana ki to te whakaako ora:

²that the elder men be sober, grave, discreet, sound in faith, in love, in patience;

²Ko nga kaumatua kia ata whakahaere i a ratou, kia tu kaumatua, kia whai whakaaro, kia ora te whakapono, te aroha, te manawanui:

³that the elder women in like manner be in deportment as becoming those who have to say to sacred things, not slanderers, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is right;

³Me nga wahine taikaumatua hoki, kia rite nga tikanga ki a te hunga e whakaaro ana ki te tapu, kia kaua e ngautuara, kia kaua e riro hei pononga ma te waina, kia whakaako i nga mea pai;

⁴that they may admonish the young women to be attached to [their] husbands, to be attached to [their] children,

⁴Kia meinga e ratou nga wahine taitamariki kia whai whakaaro, kia aroha ki a ratou tane, kia aroha ki a ratou tamariki.

⁵discreet, chaste, diligent in home work, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.

⁵Kia whai whakaaro, kia tika, kia pukumahi i te kainga, kia atawhai, kia ngohengohe ki a ratou tane, kei korerotia kinotia te kupu a te Atua.

⁶The younger men in like manner exhort to be discreet:

⁶Me whakahau atu hoki nga taitamariki kia whai whakaaro;

⁷in all things affording thyself as a pattern of good works; in teaching uncorruptedness, gravity,

⁷I nga mea katoa kia kitea koe he tauira mo nga mahi pai; ko tau whakaako kia tapatahi, kia tu kaumatua,

⁸a sound word, not to be condemned; that he who is opposed may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us:

⁸Kia ora te kupu, kei taea te whakahe; kia whakama ai te tangata tikanga ke, te ai he mea e korerotia kinotia ai tatou e ia.

⁹bondmen to be subject to their own masters, to make themselves acceptable in everything; not gainsaying;

⁹Ko nga pononga kia ngohengohe ki o ratou rangatira, kia whakamanawarekatia ratou i nga mea katoa; kaua e whakahoki kupu;

¹⁰not robbing [their masters], but shewing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the teaching which [is] of our Saviour God in all things.

¹⁰Kaua e kaia, engari kia kitea he pai, he nui, to ratou pono; kia ai ratou i nga mea katoa hei whakapaipai i te whakaako i te Atua, a to tatou Kaiwhakaora.

¹¹For the grace of God which carries with it salvation for all men has appeared,

¹¹¶ Kua puta mai hoki te aroha noa o te Atua e ora ai nga tangata katoa,

¹²teaching us that, having denied impiety and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, and justly, and piously in the present course of things,

¹²Hei whakaako i a tatou, kia whakakahoretia e tatou te karakiakore me nga hiahia o te ao, kia noho whakaaro tatou, i runga ano i te tika, i te karakia pai, i tenei ao;

¹³awaiting the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ;

¹³Me te tatari ano ki te mea whakahari e tumanakohia atu nei, ki te putanga kororia mai o to tatou Atua nui, o to tatou Kaiwhakaora ano hoki, o Ihu Karaiti;

¹⁴who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all lawlessness, and purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works.

¹⁴I tuku nei i a ia mo tatou, hei hoko i a tatou i roto i nga kino katoa, hei horoi hoki i a tatou hei iwi mana ake, e ngakau nui ana ki nga mahi pai.

¹⁵These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise thee.

¹⁵¶ Korerotia enei mea, whakahaua; kia nui tou maia ki te riri i te he. Kei whakahawea tetahi ki a koe.
