TSK · Roma 4:2

Na ka karanga a Parao ki a Aperama, ka mea, He aha tenei mahi au ki ahau? he aha koe te korero mai ai ki ahau ko tau wahine ia?

Na ka karanga a Apimereke ki a Aperahama, ka mea ki a ia, He mahi aha tenei au ki a matou? a he aha toku hara ki a koe, i takina mai ai e koe he hara nui ki ahau, ki toku kingitanga ano hoki? kua meinga e koe etahi mea ki ahau kahore nei i tika k ia mahia.

¶ Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua te tangata whakaaro nui e whakamanamana ki tona whakaaro nui, kaua hoki te marohirohi e whakamanamana ki tona marohirohi; kaua te tangata taonga e whakamanamana ki ona taonga;

No te mea kahore he mahi o te ture e tika ai tetahi kikokiko i tona aroaro: ma roto mai i te ture te matauranga ki te hara.

Kia kore ai tetahi kikokiko e whakamanamana i te aroaro o te Atua.

¶ Ko wai kei te mea kia rere ke koe? ko tehea mea hoki au ehara i te mea hoatu ki a koe? Na he mea i hoatu ki a koe, he aha koe ka whakamanamana ai, me te mea nei ehara i te mea hoatu?

¶ Ehara i te mea e whakapai ana ano matou i a matou ki a koutou, engari e korero ana hei hoatu i te take ki a koutou e whakamanamana ai koutou ki a matou, kia ai ai he mea hei whakautu ma koutou ki te hunga e whakamanamana ana ki to te kanohi, kah ore ki to te ngakau.

Ki te takoto te tikanga kia whakamanamana ahau, me whakamanamana ahau ki toku ngoikoretanga.

Heoi kua kopania nga mea katoa e te karaipiture ki raro o te hara, kia homai ai ki te hunga e whakapono ana te mea i whakaaria mai i runga i te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti.

Ehara i nga mahi, kei whakamanamana te tangata.
