Whakatapua rātou e koe i runga i tōu pono; ko tāu kupu te pono.

Ko te ora tonu hoki tēnei, kia mātau rātou ki a koe, ko koe anake te Atua pono, ki a Īhu Karaiti anō hoki i tonoa mai nei e koe.

“Ehara tāku i te īnoi mō ēnei anake, engari, mō te hunga e meinga e tā rātou kupu kia whakapono ki ahau. Kia kotahi ai rātou katoa; me koe hoki, e Pā, i roto i ahau, me ahau anō i roto i a koe, kia kotahi ai hoki rātou i roto i a tāua; kia whakapono ai te ao, nāu ahau i tono mai.

Kāhore āku īnoi kia tangohia atu rātou e koe i te ao, engari, kia tiakina rātou e koe kei kino.

“Kua hoatu anō e ahau ki a rātou te korōria i hōmai e koe ki ahau; kia kotahi ai rātou, me tāua nei hoki he kotahi. Ko ahau i roto i a rātou, ko koe hoki i roto i ahau, kia tino tutuki ai rātou ki te kotahitanga; kia mōhio ai anō te ao, nāu ahau i tono mai, he rite hoki tōu aroha ki a rātou ki tōu aroha ki ahau.
