He rangimārie tāku e waiho nei ki a koutou, tēnei tāku rangimārie te hoatu nei e ahau ki a koutou. E kore e rite ki tā te ao hoatu tāku hoatu ki a koutou. Kei pōuri ō koutou ngākau, kei mataku.

Ka mea a Īhu ki a ia, “Ko ahau te huarahi, te pono, te ora; e kore rawa tētahi tangata e haere ake ki te Matua, ki te kāhore ahau.

“Kei pōuri ō koutou ngākau; e whakapono ana koutou ki te Atua, whakapono hoki ki ahau.

Nā, ko te kaiwhakamārie, arā ko te Wairua Tapu, e tonoa mai e te Matua i runga i tōku ingoa, māna koutou e whakaako ki ngā mea katoa, māna koutou e whakamahara ki ngā mea katoa kua kōrerotia nei e ahau ki a koutou.

“Ko te tangata kei a ia nei āku ture, e puritia ana hoki e ia, ko ia te aroha ana ki ahau: ki te aroha tētahi ki ahau, ka arohaina ia e tōku Matua, ā, ka aroha ahau ki a ia, ka whakaatu i ahau ki a ia.”

Ka īnoi ahau ki te Matua, ā, māna e hoatu ki a koutou tētahi atu Kaiwhakamārie, hei noho tonu ki a koutou. Ko te Wairua o te pono; e kore nei e riro i te ao, nō te mea e kore e kite i a ia, e kore anō e mātau ki a ia. Kei a koutou hoki ia e noho ana, ā, ka noho anō i roto i a koutou.

Ā, ko tā koutou e īnoi ai i runga i tōku ingoa, e meatia tēnei e ahau, kia whai korōria ai te Matua i te Tama. Ki te īnoia e koutou tētahi mea i ahau i runga i tōku ingoa, māku e whakamana.”

“Ki te aroha koutou ki ahau, kia mau ki āku ture.

He maha ngā nohoanga i roto i te whare o tōku Matua; me he kāhore, kua kōrerotia e ahau ki a koutou. Ka haere hoki ahau ki te mea i tētahi wāhi hei tukunga ake mō koutou.

Ā, ki te haere ahau ki te mea wāhi hei tukunga ake mō koutou, ka haere mai anō ahau, ā, ka tango i a koutou ki ahau; kia noho ai hoki koutou ki te wāhi e noho ai ahau.

Nā, ka mea a Tamati ki a ia, “E te Ariki, kāhore mātou e mātau ki te wāhi e haere nā koe; me pēhea ka mātau ai mātou ki te huarahi?”
