3 Beloved, using all diligence to write to you of our common salvation, I have been obliged to write to you exhorting {you} to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints.

3 E nga hoa aroha, i ahau e takare tonu ana ki te tuhituhi ki a koutou mo to tatou whakaoranga tahi, i mea ahau me tuhituhi ki a koutou, me whakahauhau kia kaha te tohe ki te whakapono kua oti nei te tuku mai ki te hunga tapu.
