TSK · 1 Hone 2:14

¶ Kua whakatakotoria e ahau tau kupu ki roto ki toku ngakau, kei hara ahau ki a koe.

¶ Me i reira ka mea a Ihu ki nga Hurai i whakapono ki a ia, Ki te mau tonu koutou ki taku kupu, he tino akonga koutou naku;

¶ Heoi, kia kaha i roto i te Ariki, i te mana hoki o tona kaha.

Kia whakanuia te kaha hei whakakaha mo koutou, kia rite ki ta te mana o tona kororia, e u tonu ai, e whakamanawanui ai i runga i te hari;

¶ Na, ko koe, e taku tamaiti, kia kaha i runga i te aroha noa i roto i a Ihu.

Ki te mea tatou kahore tatou i hara, ka meinga ia he kaikorero teka, kahore hoki tana kupu i roto i a tatou.

He whakaaro hoki ki te pono e mau nei i roto i a tatou, a e mau ano ki a tatou ake ake:

I whakamanawanui koe, i mahi tonu, ahakoa pehia, he whakaaro ki toku ingoa, kahore hoki i hoha.
