37 Ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Kia whakapaua tou ngakau, tou wairua, tou hinengaro, ki te aroha ki te Ariki, ki tou Atua.

38 Ko te tuatahi tenei, ko te kupu nui.

39 He rite ano te tuarua ki tenei, Kia aroha koe ki tou hoa tata, ano ko koe.

40 Kei runga i enei kupu e rua e iri ana te ture me nga poropiti.

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
