He Tohutohu Whakamutunga
17 Nā, he tohe tēnei nāku ki a koutou, e ōku tēina, tirohia iho te hunga e mahi ana i ngā wehewehenga, i ngā tūtukitanga waewae, he mea puta kē i te whakaakoranga i whakaakona ai koutou. Tahuri atu i a rātou! 18 Ko te hunga pērā hoki kāhore i te mahi ki tō tātou Ariki, ki a Īhu Karaiti, engari ki tō rātou ake kōpū. E tinihanga ana hoki rātou i ngā ngākau o te hunga kinokore ki ā rātou kōrero māeneene, ki ā rātou kupu whakapaipai. 19 Kua pakū hoki ki ngā tāngata katoa te rongo o tō koutou ngohengohe. Koia ahau ka hari nei ki a koutou; e mea ana hoki ahau kia whai whakaaro koutou ki te pai, kia kūware ki te mea kino. 20 Nā tērā te Atua o te rangimārie e hohoro te kuru i a Hātana ki raro i ō koutou waewae.
Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa o tō tātou Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti.

He Karakia Whakakapi, Whakamoemiti
25 Nā, he kaha nei te Atua ki te whakaū i a koutou, i runga i ngā ritenga o tāku rongopai, o te kauwhautanga hoki o Īhu Karaiti, o te whakakitenga mai anō o te mea ngaro, kīhai nei i rangona nō te tīmatanga rā anō o te ao, 26 ā, kua whakamāramatia mai ināianei e ngā karaipiture a ngā poropiti, he mea whakarite mai nā te Atua ora tonu, ā, whakapuakina mai ana ki ngā tauiwi katoa kia ngohengohe ai rātou ki tā te whakapono.
27 Waiho atu i te Atua, ko ia nei anake te Mea mātau, te korōria i roto i a Īhu Karaiti, ake ake, Āmine.
