1 Pita 2

21 Nō te mea i karangatia koutou ki tēnei, i whakamamaetia hoki a te Karaiti mō koutou, waiho iho ana e ia he tauira mō koutou, kia aru ai koutou i ōna tapuwae.

22 "Kīhai nei ia i mea i te hara,

kāhore anō hoki i kitea te tinihanga i tōna māngai."

23 Ka taunutia, kīhai ia i taunu atu; ka whakamamaetia, kīhai ia i whakatuma; engari, i tuku i a ia ki te kaiwhakawā tika.
