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;

¹I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:

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.

²for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,

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

³for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,

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

⁴who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;

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

⁵for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,

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

⁶who did give himself a ransom for all — the testimony in its own times —

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.

⁷in regard to which I was set a preacher and apostle — truth I say in Christ, I do not lie — a teacher of nations, in faith and truth.

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.

⁸I wish, therefore, that men pray in every place, lifting up kind hands, apart from anger and reasoning;

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;

⁹in like manner also the women, in becoming apparel, with modesty and sobriety to adorn themselves, not in braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or garments of great price,

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

¹⁰but — which becometh women professing godly piety — through good works.

¹¹Me ako marie te wahine kia nui te ngohengohe.

¹¹Let a woman in quietness learn in all subjection,

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.

¹²and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness,

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

¹³for Adam was first formed, then Eve,

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

¹⁴and Adam was not deceived, but the woman, having been deceived, into transgression came,

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

¹⁵and she shall be saved through the child-bearing, if they remain in faith, and love, and sanctification, with sobriety.
