2 Pita 3

8 Kei kūware ia koutou, e ōku hoa aroha, ki tēnei mea kotahi, ki tā te Ariki he rā kotahi rite tonu ki ngā tau kotahi mano, ngā tau kotahi mano rite tonu ki te rā kotahi. 9 Kāhore he whakaroa o te Ariki ki tāna kupu whakaari, kāhore e rite ki tā ētahi e kī nei he whakaroa; engari e manawanui ana ki a tātou, kāhore ōna whakaaro mō te tangata kia ngaro; engari kia tae katoa ki te rīpenetā.

10 E puta mai hoki te rā o te Ariki ānō he tāhae i te pō; ko reira pahemo atu ai ngā rangi, tōna nui hoki o te tangi; nā, ka ngiha ngā mea tīmatanga i te ahi, ka rewa; ā, pau ake i te ahi te whenua me āna mahi.
