2 Timoti.
3.
Kia mātau koe ki tēnei, ko ā ngā rā o te whakamutunga puta mai ai ngā wā o te hē. 
E aroha hoki ngā tāngata ki a rātou anō, e aroha ki te moni, e whakapehapeha, e whakakake, e kohukohu, e tutū ki ngā mātua, kāhore he whakawhetai, kāhore he tapu, 
kāhore he aroha, he upoko mārō, he ngautuarā, e kore e pēhi i te ngākau, he hunga nanakia, kāhore e aroha ki te pai, 
he hunga tuku tangata, he hunga hīkaka, whakakake, tō rātou aroha kei ngā mahi tākaro kāhore ia ki te Atua; 
ko te āhua o te karakia kei a rātou, tōna kaha ia whakakāhoretia iho. Tahuri kē koe i ngā tāngata pērā. 
Nō rātou hoki te hunga e kuhu nei ki ngā whare, ā, riro pārau ana i a rātou ngā wāhine heahea, e taimaha nei i te hara, he mea kāwhaki nā ngā hiahia maha, 
e ako tonu ana, heoi kāhore rawa kia tae ki te mātauranga o te pono. 
E rite ana ki a Hāni rāua ko Hamapiri i totohe ki a Mohi; waihoki ko ēnei tāngata e totohe ana ki te pono. He hunga kua kino kē te hinengaro, he rukenga atu i roto i te whakapono. 
Heoi, e kore rātou e kake haere. Ka kitea hoki tō rātou kūwaretanga e te katoa, ka pērā hoki me tō rāua. 
Otirā, kua mau nā i a koe tāku whakaako, tāku whakahaere, tōku whakaaro whakatakoto, tōku whakapono, tōku pūhoi ki te riri, tōku aroha, tōku manawanui, 
ōku whakatoinga, ōku matenga i mate ai ahau i Anatioka, i Ikoniuma, i Raihitara; ngā whakatoinga i whakatoia ai ahau. Heoi, whakaorangia ake ahau e te Ariki i roto i te katoa. 
Ā, e whakatoia anō te hunga katoa e hiahia ana kia noho i runga i te karakia i roto i a Karaiti Īhu. 
Ko te hunga kino ia, me te hunga māminga, ka kake haere te kino, ka tinihanga, ā, ka tinihangatia. 
Tēnā, ko koe kia mau ki ngā mea i ako rā koe, i whakaaetia rā e koe, e mātau nā hoki koe ki tōu kaiwhakaako ki ēnā mea. 
Ki a koe anō i mōhio o tōu tamarikitanga ake, ki ngā karaipiture tapu, ko ngā mea ērā e whai mātauranga ai koe, e ora ai, i runga i te whakapono ki a Karaiti Īhu. 
Nō te hā o te Atua ngā karaipiture katoa, he pai hoki hei whakaako, hei riri i te hē, hei whakatikatika, hei whakaako ki te tika; 
kia tino rite ai te tangata a te Atua, rite rawa mō ngā mahi pai katoa.
