1 Hei tuatoru tenei mo oku haerenga atu ki a koutou. Ma te mangai o nga kaiwhakaatu tokorua, tokotoru ranei, ka u ai nga kupu katoa.2 Kua korero ano ahau i mua, ka korero ano inaianei, pera i te tuarua o oku wa i kona, a i ahau e ngaro mai nei, ki te hunga i hara i mua, ki era katoa ano hoki, na, ki te tae atu ano ahau, e kore e tohungia e ahau;3 E rapu tohu na hoki koutou o te Karaiti e korero ana i roto i ahau; kahore nei ia e ngoikore ki a koutou, engari e kaha ana i roto i a koutou:4 I ripekatia hoki ia i te mea e ngoikore ana, otiia kei te ora ia, na te kaha o te Atua. He ngoikore hoki matou i roto i a ia, heoi ka ora tahi ano me ia, he meatanga na te kaha o te Atua ki a koutou.5 Whakamatauria iho koutou ano, mehemea ranei koutou kei roto i te whakapono; tirohia iho o koutou tohu e koutou ano. Tena ranei kahore koutou e matau ana ki a koutou ano, kei roto i a koutou a Ihu Karaiti? ki te mea ia ehara koutou i te mea akiri.6 Otira e u ana toku whakaaro, e matau ana ano koutou, ehara matou i te mea akiri.7 Na, ko ta matou inoi tenei ki te Atua, kia kaua koutou e mea i tetahi kino; ehara i te mea mo matou kia kitea e paingia ana, engari mo koutou kia mahi i te pai, ahakoa ko matou hei mea akiri.8 E kore hoki e taea e matou tetahi mea e he ai te pono, engari te mea e u ai te pono.9 E hari ana hoki matou ina ngoikore matou, ina kaha koutou: ko ta matou hoki tenei e inoi nei, ko koutou kia tino tika.10 Koia ahau ka tuhituhi atu nei i enei mea, i ahau e ngaro mai nei, kei tae atu ahau ki kona, ka koi taku i runga i te mana kua tukua mai nei e te Ariki ki ahau hei hanga mo te whare, ehara i te mea hei wahi.11 Kati ra, e oku teina, hei kona. Kia tino tika; kia marie te ngakau; kia kotahi te whakaaro; kia mau te rongo: a tera te Atua o te aroha, o te maunga rongo, e noho ki a koutou.12 Oha atu tetahi ki tetahi, hei te kihi tapu ano.13 Tenei te hunga tapu katoa te oha atu nei ki a koutou.14 Kia tau ki a koutou katoa te atawhai o te Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, me te aroha o te Atua, me te whiwhinga tahitanga ki te Wairua Tapu. Amine.

1 This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;2 I have said before, and I say [it] before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,3 since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,4 for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.5 Your ownselves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your ownselves prove ye; do ye not know your ownselves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?6 and I hope that ye shall know that we -- we are not disapproved of;7 and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;8 for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;9 for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for -- your perfection!10 because of this, these things -- being absent -- I write, that being present, I may not treat [any] sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.11 Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;12 salute one another in an holy kiss;13 salute you do all the saints;14 the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, [is] with you all! Amen.
