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.
