TSK · Hone 13:8

Ina oti te paru o nga tamahine o Hiona te horoi e te Ariki, ina purea e ia nga toto o Hiruharama i roto i a ia, ki te wairua o te whakawa, ki te wairua tahutahu.

¶ Ka tauhiuhia ano koutou e ahau ki te wai ma, a ka ma koutou: ka purea koutou e ahau, a kore iho o koutou poke katoa, a koutou whakapakoko katoa.

Na ka mau a Pita ki a ia, ka anga ka whakahe ki tana, ka mea, Aue! kauaka, e te Ariki! kauaka ra tenei e pa ki a koe.

Na ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, Ahakoa he noa te katoa ki a koe, e kore rawa ahau e he.

Ka whakahokia e Ihu, He pono, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koe, Ki te kahore te tangata e whanau i te wai, i te Wairua hoki, e kore ia e ahei te tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua.

Na, he aha tau e whakaroa nei? whakatika, kia iriiria koe, kia horoia ou hara, me te karanga ano ki te ingoa o te Ariki.

Hei whakatapunga mana, ma rawa i a ia i te horoinga ki te wai, i runga i te kupu,

Ko te ahua o aua mea i whakaritea ki to te whakaaro nui, he karakia pokano, he whakaiti i a ia ake, he atawhaikore i te tinana; otira kahore he painga hei pehi i te kikokiko e torere ana kia makona ia.

I runga hoki i te ture, e tata ana ka kiia, e purea ana nga mea katoa ki te toto; ki te kahore hoki he ringihanga toto, kahore he murunga hara.

Kia whakatata atu tatou, i runga i te ngakau pono, i te whakapono e tino u ana, he mea tauhiuhi te ngakau, kia kore ai te hinengaro kino, he mea horoi ano hoki te tinana ki te wai marama.

Ano ra ko ahau ki a ia, E kara, e matau ana koe. Ka mea mai ia ki ahau, Ko te hunga tenei i puta mai i te tukinotanga nui, ko o ratou kakahu he mea horoi na ratou, he mea whakama ki nga toto o te Reme.
