TSK · 2 Timoti 3:7

¶ E rapu ana te tangata whakahi i te whakaaro nui, heoi kahore e kitea e ia; ki te tangata matau ia he mama noa te matauranga.

Mo reira korero ki a ratou, mea atu ki a ratou, Ko te kupu tenei a te Ariki, a Ihowa: Ko te tangata o te whare o Iharaira e whakaara ana i ana whakapakoko ki tona ngakau, e whakatakoto ana i te tutukitanga waewae, i tona he, ki mua i tona mata, a e haere mai ana ki te poropiti; ko taku, ko ta Ihowa, e whakahoki ai ki taua tangata i haere mai ra, ka rite ki te maha o ana whakapakoko;

E kino ana hoki ki te marama nga kaimahi katoa i te kino, e kore ano hoki e haere mai ki te marama, kei whakakitea a ratou mahi.

¶ He ahakoa ra he tokomaha ano nga rangatira i whakapono ki a ia; otira kihai i whakaae ki a ia, he whakaaro hoki ki nga parihi, kei peia ratou ki waho o te whare karakia:

Kia mutu ai to tatou tamarikitanga, te akina, te kahakahakina e nga hau katoa o te whakaako, he whakawiringa ke na te tangata, he maminga, he whakapohehe;

Kia whakaako marie i te hunga e totohe ana; me kore e hoatu e te Atua ki a ratou he ripeneta e whakaae ai ki te pono;

He maha nei a matou korero mo tenei, he uaua ki te whakamarama, he puhoi hoki no koutou ki te whakarongo.
