1 Timoti 3
3
1He pono te korero, Ki te hiahia tetahi ki te mahi pihopa, e hiahia ana ia ki te mahi pai.
2Na, ko te tikanga tenei, kia kaua te pihopa e ekengia e te kupu, he tahu no te wahine kotahi, kia ngawari, kia whai whakaaro, kia marama ana tikanga, kia atawhai ki nga manuhiri, kia whai ngakau ki te whakaako: 3Kia kaua e kakai waina, kia kaua e patu; engari kia ngawari, kaua e totohe, kaua e matenui ki te moni; 4Kai pai tana tohutohu i tona whare; e mea ana i ana tamariki kia ngohengohe ki a ia, kia nui te mahara: 5Ki te kore hoki tetahi tangata e matau ki te tohutohu i tona whare ake, me pehea ka tiaki ai ia i te hahi a te Atua? 6Kauaka i te tauhou, kei whakakake, a ka tau to te rewera he ki a ia. 7A kia pai te korero mona a te hunga o waho; kei taka ia ki te whakahawea, ki roto hoki ki te mahanga a te rewera. 8Waihoki ko nga rikona kia tu kaumatua, kaua e arero rua, kaua e matenui ki te waina, kaua e whai ki te taonga paruparu;
9Kia ma o ratou hinengaro e mau ai ki te mea ngaro o te whakapono. 10Na, kia matua whakamatautauria enei; katahi ka tuku ai kia mahi i a te rikona mahi, ki te kore he whakahe mo ratou. 11Ko nga wahine hoki kia ahua kaumatua, kaua e ngautuara, kia whai mahara, kia pono i nga mea katoa. 12Ko nga rikona, kia kotahi te hoa wahine; kia pai te tohutohu i a ratou tamariki, i o ratou whare ake ano hoki. 13Ki te pai hoki ta ratou mahi rikona, ka whiwhi ratou ki te turanga pai mo ratou, ka nui hoki to ratou maia i runga i te whakapono ki a Karaiti Ihu. 14He tuhituhi atu tenei naku i enei mea ki a koe, e mea ana hoki tera ahau e haere wawe atu ki a koe:
15Ki te roa ia ahau, kia matau ai koe ki te tikanga mo tau mahi i roto i te whare o te Atua, ko te hahi nei ia a te Atua ora, ko te pou, ko te turanga o te pono. 16Na, kahore rawa e tautohetia te nui o te mea ngaro e karakiatia nei: Ko ia i whakakitea mai i roto i te kikokiko, he mea whakatika na te Wairua, i kitea e nga anahera, i kauwhautia nei i roto i nga tauiwi, i whakaponohia nei i te ao, i tangohia atu ki te kororia.
