TSK · Hemi 4:16

Inana, ko te tangata tenei kihai nei i waiho e ia te Atua hei kaha mona; otiia, whakawhirinaki ana ki te tini o ana taonga, whakapakari ana i runga i tana mahi kino.

¶ Kei whakamanamana koe ki te ra apopo; kahore hoki koe e mohio ko te aha e puta mai i roto i te ra.

I whakawhirinaki hoki koe ki tou kino, i mea, Kahore he kaititiro moku: ko ou whakaaro nui me tou mohio, na ena koe i whakangau ke; i mea ai koe i tou ngakau, Ko ahau tenei, kahore ke atu, ko ahau anake.

Kahore e pai ta koutou whakapehapeha. Kahore koutou e matau he iti nei te rewena, rewenatia ake te puranga katoa?

Na kia rite ki tana whakanuinga i a ia, ki tona toreretanga ki ana mea whakaahuareka, kia pera ano te mamae me te pouri e hoatu e koutou ki a ia: e mea ana hoki ia i tona ngakau, E noho ana ahau hei kuini, ehara hoki ahau i te pouaru, e kore ano hoki ahau e kite i te pouri.
