TSK · Whakatauki 13:7

¶ Tera tetahi kei te rui, a tapiritia mai ana ano; tera tetahi kei te kaiponu i te mea e tika ana, heoi rawakore noa iho.

¶ Ko nga taonga i puta mai i te whakamanamana ka iti haere: ko ta te tangata i whakaemi ai, he mea mahi, ka tupu haere.

Na, ka pena te tangata e whakapuranga ana i te taonga mana ake, a kahore e hua tana whaka te Atua.

Tu ana te Parihi ko ia anake, ko tana karakia tenei, E te Atua, ka whakawhetai ahau ki a koe, no te mea kahore ahau e rite ki era atu tangata, ki te hunga hao taonga, kino, puremu, moku hoki te rite ki tenei pupirikana.

Ko matou he kuware mo ta te Karaiti, ko koutou ia he hunga whai whakaaro i roto i a te Karaiti; ko matou he ngoikore, ko koutou ia he hunga kaha; to koutou he kororia, to matou ia he honorekore.

Me te mea e pouri ana, heoi e hari tonu ana; me te mea e rawakore ana, heoi e mea ana i te tokomaha kia whai taonga; me te mea kahore a matou aha, otiia kei a matou nga mea katoa.

He herekore ta ratou e whakaari nei ki a ratou, heoi he pononga ratou na te pirau: ki te taea hoki te tangata e te hoariri, hei pononga ia mana.

No te mea e ki ana koe, Kua whai taonga ahau, kua tini aku rawa, kahore hoki tetahi mea e matea ana e ahau; kahore hoki e matau he waikorohuhu noa iho koe, he he noa iho, he rawakore, he matapo, he mea kakahukore:
