I kī atu anō a Īhu ki a rātou, i mea, “Ko ahau te whakamārama o te ao; ki te aru tētahi i ahau, e kore ia e haere i te pōuri, engari, ka whiwhi ki te mārama o te ora.”

ā, e mātau koutou ki te pono, mā te pono anō koutou ka rangatira ai.”

Me i reira ka mea a Īhu ki ngā Hūrai i whakapono ki a ia, “Ki te mau tonu koutou ki tāku kupu, he tino ākonga koutou nāku

Nā, i te mea ka whakarangatiratia koutou e te Tama, he tino rangatira koutou.

Ā, ka tohe tonu rātou ki te ui ki a ia ka whakatika ake ia, ka mea ki a rātou, “Ko te tangata o koutou kāhore ōna hara, māna te kōhatu mātāmua e āki ki a ia.”

Ka whakahokia e Īhu ki a rātou, “He pono, he pono tāku e mea nei ki a koutou, he pononga nā te hara ngā kaimahi katoa i te hara.
