1 Pita 5

Te Kāhui a te Atua

1 He whakahau tēnei nāku ki ngā kaumātua i roto i a koutou, he hoa kaumātua hoki ahau, he kaiwhakaatu mō ngā mamae o te Karaiti, kua whiwhi tahi nei hoki ki te korōria e whakakitea mai i muri. 2 Whāngainga te kāhui a te Atua i roto i a koutou; kaua e ngākaukore ina tirotiro, engari kia hihiko; kaua, mō te taonga hē, engari i runga i te ngākau nui. 3 Kaua anō hoki e whakatupu rangatira ki tā te Atua wāhi, engari hei tauira koutou ki te kāhui.
