2 Koriniti 6:14-17

He Whakatūpato ki ngā Awe o te Hunga Whakapono kore

14 Kei ioka­tia kētia koutou ki te hunga whaka­pono kore. Nō hea hoki te whaka­hoa­tanga o te tika rāua ko te tutū? Nō hea hoki te hui­hui­nga tahi­tanga o te mārama ki te pōuri? 15 Ko ēhea mea a te Karaiti i hui­huia ki a Periara? Nā tēhea wāhi rānei i huanga ai te tangata whaka­pono ki te tangata whaka­pono kore? 16 Ā, kei hea he ta­ta­nga mō te whare tapu o te Atua ki ngā whaka­pakoko? He whare tapu hoki koutou nō te Atua ora; ko tā te Atua hoki tēnā i mea ai:

"Ka noho ahau i roto i a rātou,

ka hāere­ere ahau i roto i a rātou;

ā, ko ahau hei Atua mō rātou,

ko rātou hoki hei iwi māku."

17 Mō konei,

"Puta mai i roto i a rātou,

kia motu kē, e ai tā te Ariki.

Kaua hoki e pā ki te mea poke;

ā, ka riro mai koutou i ahau.
