2 KORINITI 3

4 Ko tēnei tū whaka­aro ō mātou ū tonu ki tā te Atua, he mea nā te Karaiti. 5 He teka kei a mātou ake te tikanga mō te whaka­aro ki tētahi aha, me te mea nā mātou ake anō; engari, nā te Atua mātou i whai tikanga ai; 6 nāna hoki mātou i tau ai hei minita mō te kawe­nata hou; he teka nō te reta, engari nō te Wairua; he whaka­mate hoki tā te reta, he whaka­ora ia tā te Wairua.
