TSK · Hopa 13:5

Ma au kupu whakapehapeha ranei e nohopuku ai nga tangata? A, ina tawai koe, kaua ranei he tangata e mea i a koe kia whakama?

E whai mutunga ranei nga kupu tikangakore? Na te aha ranei koe i whakaoho ki te whakahoki kupu mai?

Kia peha ake te roa o ta koutou whakaporearea i toku wairua, o ta koutou wawahi i ahau ki te kupu?

¶ Heoi mutu ake te whakahoki kupu a enei tangata tokotoru ki a Hopa, no te mea he tika ia ki tona nei whakaaro.

Ko te wairangi nei ano, ki te whakarongo puku, ka kiia he whakaaro nui: ki te kokopi ona ngutu, ka kiia ia he tupato.

Mo reira ka whakarongo puku te tangata tupato i taua wa; no te mea he wa kino.
