1 For freedom did Christ set us free: stand fast therefore, and be not entangled again in a yoke of bondage.

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that, if ye receive circumcision, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 Yea, I testify again to every man that receiveth circumcision, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace. 5 For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love. 7 Ye were running well; who hindered you that ye should not obey the truth? 8 This persuasion came not of him that calleth you. 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 10 I have confidence to you-ward in the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. 11 But I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why am I still persecuted? then hath the stumbling-block of the cross been done away. 12 I would that they that unsettle you would even go beyond circumcision.

13 For ye, brethren, were called for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another. 14 For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

16 But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are contrary the one to the other; that ye may not do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties, 21 envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; of which I forewarn you, even as I did forewarn you, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 meekness, self-control; against such there is no law. 24 And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.

25 If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. 26 Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

1 Na te Karaiti i wewete te here i a tatou: na reira kia u te tu, kei mau hoki ki roto ki te ioka pononga.

2 Nana, tenei ahau, a Paora te mea nei ki a koutou, Ki te kotia koutou, e kore koutou e whai pai i a te Karaiti.

3 He whakaatu tuarua tenei naku ki nga tangata katoa e kotia ana, kua mau ratou i te ture kia mahia katoatia.

4 Kua wehea atu koutou i a te Karaiti, e te hunga e whakatikaia ana e te ture, kua taka iho koutou i runga i te aroha noa.

5 Ko tatou hoki, na te Wairua ta tatou tatari ki te tika e tumanakohia atu nei, e ahu mai nei i te whakapono:

6 I roto hoki i a Karaiti Ihu kahore o te kotinga wahi, kahore o te kotingakore; engari ko te whakapono e mahi ana i runga i te aroha.

7 I pai ta koutou oma; na wai koutou i whakaware, i kore ai koutou e rongo ki te pono?

8 Ehara tenei whakaaro i te mea na te kaikaranga i a koutou.

9 He iti te rewena, rewenatia ake te puranga katoa.

10 E whakapono ana ahau ki a koutou i roto i te Ariki, e kore e rere ke o koutou whakaaro: ko te kaiwhakararu ia i a koutou, ahakoa ko wai, mana ano tona whakawakanga e pikau.

11 Me ahau ano, e oku teina, ki te mea he kauwhau tonu nei taku i te kotinga, he aha ahau ka whakatoia tonutia ai? penei kua kore to te ripeka tutukitanga waewae.

12 Pai kau ki ahau me i motuhia atu te hunga e whakararu na i a koutou.

13 Kua karangatia nei hoki koutou, e oku teina, ki te tikanga herekore; kaua ia ta koutou tikanga herekore e waiho hei whakaoho i te kikokiko, engari me mahi koutou tetahi ki tetahi i runga i te aroha.

14 E takoto topu ana hoki te ture katoa i roto i te kupu kotahi, ara, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe.

15 Ki te ngau ia koutou, ki te kai tetahi i tetahi, kia tupato kei pareho tetahi i tetahi.

16 Ko taku kupu ia tenei, Haere i roto i te Wairua, a e kore e whakaritea e koutou te hiahia o te kikokiko.

17 E hiahia ana hoki te kikokiko tika ke i te Wairua, me te Wairua tika ke i te kikokiko: e whawhai ana hoki enei tetahi ki tetahi: te taea nga mea i hiahia ai koutou.

18 Ki te arahina ia koutou e te Wairua, kahore koutou i raro i te ture.

19 Na e kitea ana nga mahi a te kikokiko, ara he moe tahae, he poke, he hiahia taikaha,

20 He karakia whakapakoko, he makutu, he pakanga, he totohe, he hae, he riri, he wawahi, he wehewehe, he titore,

21 He hao, he haurangi, he kakai, me nga mea e rite ana ki enei: me korero wawe e ahau enei mea ki a koutou, me pera me taku i korero ai i mua, ko te hunga e mahi ana i nga mea penei, e kore e whiwhi ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

22 Ko te hua ia o te Wairua, he aroha, he hari, he rangimarie, he manawanui, he ngawari, he ngakau pai, he whakapono,

23 He ngakau mahaki, he ngakau kua taea te pehi: kahore he ture e riria ai enei mea.

24 Ko te hunga ia o te Karaiti, kua ripekatia e ratou te kikokiko, me ona hihiritanga, me ona hiahia.

25 Ki te mea e ora ana tatou i roto i te Wairua, kia haere ano tatou i roto i te Wairua.

26 Kei whaia e tatou te kororia huakore, te whakapataritari tetahi ki tetahi, te hae tetahi ki tetahi.
