1 Muri iho, kia pahure nga tau tekau ma wha, ka haere ano ahau ki Hiruharama maua ko Panapa, me te mau ano i a Taituha hei hoa moku.

2 Na te whakakitenga mai hoki ahau i haere ai, a whakatakotoria ana e ahau ki a ratou te rongopai e kauwhautia nei e ahau ki nga tauiwi; otiia i meatia pukutia ki te hunga whai ingoa, kei maumau kau taku oma onaianei, o mua ra ranei.

3 Kihai ia a Taituha, toku hoa, he Kariki nei ia, i meinga kia kotia:

4 Mo nga teina teka hoki i whakaurua pukutia mai, i haere puku mai nei ki te tirotiro i to matou ahua, he herekore i roto i a Karaiti Ihu, kia whakataurekareka ai ratou i a matou.

5 Kihai rawa matou i whakangawari iho, i rongo ki a ratou, ahakoa kotahi haora; he mea kia mau ai te pono o te rongopai ki a koutou.

6 Otira ko te hunga whai ingoa ahakoa he aha ratou, kahore tahi he tikanga ki ahau: kahore a te Atua whakapai ki te kanohi tangata kihai ratou, te hunga whai ingoa, i whakaatu mea ki ahau:

7 Engari to ratou kitenga kua tukua ki ahau te rongopai ki te kotingakore pera hoki me tera ki kotinga kua tukua ra ki a Pita;

8 Ko te kaimahi hoki i roto i a Pita hei apotoro ki te kotinga, mahi ana ano ia i roto i ahau ki nga tauiwi:

9 Na, no ratou ka matau ki te aroha noa kua homai ki ahau, ka homai e Hemi, e Kipa, e Hoani, i meinga nei hei pou, nga ringa matau hei whakahoatanga ki a maua ko Panapa, mo maua kia haere ki nga tauiwi, ko ratou ia ki te kotinga:

10 Otiia me mahara maua ki te hunga rawakore; he mea ano hoki tena i hihiko ai ahau.

11 Na, i te taenga mai o Pita ki Anatioka, ka whakatika atu ahau ki a ia he kanohi, he kanohi, no te mea kua tika kia whakahengia ia.

12 I mua hoki o te taenga mai o etahi i a Hemi, e kai tahi ana ia me nga tauiwi: no to ratou taenga mai ia, neke atu ana ia, momotu ke ana i a ia; i mataku hoki ki te hunga o te kotinga.

13 I uru ano era atu Hurai ki tona tinihanga: heoi riro pu a Panapa i to ratou tinihanga.

14 Otira, i toku kitenga kihai ratou i haere tika i runga i te pono o te rongopai, ka mea ahau ki a Pita i te aroaro o ratou katoa, ki te mea ko koe, he Hurai, ka whakatauiwi i a koe, a kahore e whakahurai, me pehea e taea ai e koe te mea nga tauiw i kia Hurai?

15 Ko tatou, ko nga Hurai tupu nei, ehara nei i te hunga hara no nga tauiwi,

16 Kua mohio nei ehara nga mahi a te ture i te mea e tika ai te tangata, engari ko te whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti; kua whakapono ano tatou ki a Ihu Karaiti, kia meinga ai te whakapono ki a te Karaiti hei tika mo tatou, kahore ia nga mahi a te ture; no te mea kahore rawa he kikokiko e tika i nga mahi o te ture.

17 Na, i a tatou e whai nei kia whakatikaia i roto i a te Karaiti, ki te kitea tatou nei he hunga hara, he minita ranei a te Karaiti ki te hara? Kahore rapea.

18 Ki te mea hoki ka hanga ano e ahau nga mea i wahia e ahau, e whakakite ana ahau i ahau ano, he tangata hara.

19 Na te ture hoki ahau i tupapaku ai ki te ture, kia ora ai ahau ki te Atua.

20 Kua ripekatia tahitia ahau me te Karaiti: a e ora nei, ehara i te mea ko ahau, engari ko te Karaiti e ora ana i roto i ahau: e ora nei hoki ahau i roto i te kikokiko, he oranga na te whakapono ki te Tama a te Atua, i aroha nei ki ahau, i tuku ne i i a ia moku.

21 Kahore aku whakakahore i te aroha noa o te Atua: mehemea hoki i na runga mai te tika i te ture, maumau mate noa a te Karaiti.

1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also. 2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were of reputation, lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain. 3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised: 4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: 5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you. 6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me: 7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter; 8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) 9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision. 10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do. 11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. 13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. 14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? 15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. 17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. 18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
