1 Kia mau tonu te aroha ki nga teina.

2 Kei wareware ki te atawhai manuhiri: na tenei hoki i whakamanuhiri anahera ai etahi, kihai ano i matau atu.

3 Maharatia nga herehere, me te mea no koutou tahi te hereherenga; me te hunga hoki e whakatupuria kinotia ana, kei te tinana na hoki koutou.

4 Meinga te marena hei mea honore ma te katoa, a kaua te moenga e tukua kia poke: ko te hunga moepuku ia, me te hunga puremu, e whakataua e te Atua te he ki a ratou.

5 Whakakahoretia atu te mahi apo taonga; kati ano nga mea ma koutou ko nga mea i a koutou na: kua mea mai hoki ia, E kore ahau e whakarere i a koe, e kore ano hoki e mawehe i a koe.

6 Heoi ka maia tatou ki te ki ake, Kei toku taha te Ariki, e kore ahau e mataku ki ta te tangata e mea ai ki ahau.

7 Kia mahara ki te hunga e tohutohu ana i a koutou, kua korero nei i te kupu a te Atua ki a koutou: tirohia te tukunga iho o ta ratou whakahaere, kia rite to koutou ki to ratou whakapono.

8 Tuturu tonu a Ihu Karaiti inanahi, inaianei, a ake ake.

9 Kei kahakihakina koutou e nga whakaakoranga maha, e nga mea poka hou ake: he mea pai hoki kia whakaukia te ngakau ki runga i te aroha noa; ehara i te mea ki nga kai, kahore hoki he pai o ena mea mo te hunga na ratou nei tera mahi.

10 He aata ano ta tatou, e kore nei e tika kia kainga tona e te hunga e mahi ana i ta te tapenakara.

11 Na, ko nga kararehe no ratou nei nga toto e mauria ana e te tohunga nei mo te hara ki roto ki te wahi tino tapu, e tahuna ana nga tinana o era ki waho o te puni.

12 Na reira hoki a Ihu, i tana whakatapunga i te iwi ki ona toto ake ano, i mamae ai ki waho o te kuwaha.

13 Na, kia haere atu tatou ki a ia ki waho o te puni, me te mau ano tatou i tona tawainga:

14 Kahore hoki he pa tumau mo tatou i konei, engari e rapu ana tatou i tetahi i roto i nga wa a muri nei.

15 Na, kia tapaea atu e tatou ki runga ki a ia i nga wa katoa te whakamoemiti ki te Atua hei whakahere, ara te hua o nga ngutu e whakawhetai ana ki tona ingoa.

16 Kei wareware hoki ki te mahi pai, ki te atawhai: e manakohia ana hoki e te Atua nga patunga tapu pera.

17 Kia ngohengohe ki o koutou kaitohutohu, kia ngawari ki ta ratou kupu; e mataara ana hoki ratou ki o koutou wairua, a me korero ano e ratou a mua te tikanga o a ratou mahi: kia hari ai ratou ina mea i tenei, kia kaua hoki e pouri: kahore hoki he pai o tenei mo koutou.

18 Inoi mo matou: u tonu hoki to matou whakaaro ki to matou hinengaro he pai, e hiahia ana hoki matou kia tika ta matou whakahaere i nga mea katoa.

19 I kaha rawa ai taku whakahau ki a koutou kia meatia tenei, he mea kia wawe ai ahau te whakahokia atu ki a koutou.

20 Na, ma te Atua o te rangimarie, nana nei i whakahoki mai i roto i te hunga mate to tatou Ariki, a Ihu, taua Hepara nui o nga hipi, he meatanga na nga toto o te kawenata mutungakore,

21 Mana koutou e mea kia tino tika i runga i nga mahi pai katoa, kia mahia ano e koutou tana i pai ai; mana e mahi i roto i a koutou te mea e ahuareka ana ki tana titiro, i roto ano i a Ihu Karaiti; waiho atu i a ia te kororia ake ake. Amine.

22 He kupu ano tenei naku ki a koutou, e oku teina, ata whakarangona mai te kupu whakahau: he torutoru nei hoki nga kupu kua tuhituhia atu nei e ahau ki a koutou.

23 Kia matau koutou kua tukua ki waho to tatou teina, a Timoti. Ki te haere wawe mai ia, ko maua tahi e kite i a koutou.

24 Oha atu ki te hunga katoa e tohutohu ana i a koutou, ki te hunga tapu katoa ano hoki. Tenei te oha atu nei ki a koutou te hunga o Itari.

25 Kia tau te aroha noa ki a koutou katoa. Amine.

1 Let love of the brethren continue. 2 Forget not to show love unto strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. 3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; them that are ill-treated, as being yourselves also in the body. 4 Let marriage be had in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: for fornicators and adulterers God will judge. 5 Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee. 6 So that with good courage we say,

The Lord is my helper; I will not fear:

What shall man do unto me?

7 Remember them that had the rule over you, men that spake unto you the word of God; and considering the issue of their life, imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for ever. 9 Be not carried away by divers and strange teachings: for it is good that the heart be established by grace; not by meats, wherein they that occupied themselves were not profited. 10 We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat that serve the tabernacle. 11 For the bodies of those beasts whose blood is brought into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin, are burned without the camp. 12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people through his own blood, suffered without the gate. 13 Let us therefore go forth unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. 14 For we have not here an abiding city, but we seek after the city which is to come. 15 Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. 17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.

18 Pray for us: for we are persuaded that we have a good conscience, desiring to live honorably in all things. 19 And I exhort you the more exceedingly to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.

20 Now the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant, even our Lord Jesus, 21 make you perfect in every good thing to do his will, working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

22 But I exhort you, brethren, bear with the word of exhortation: for I have written unto you in few words. 23 Know ye that our brother Timothy hath been set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

24 Salute all them that have the rule over you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you.

25 Grace be with you all. Amen.
