TSK · Piripi 1:18

Na ka mea a Hoani ki ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, i kite matou i tetahi e pei rewera ana i runga i tou ingoa: na riria iho e matou, kahore hoki ia e haere tahi me tatou.

Otira kihai ratou i mohio ki tenei kupu, he mea huna hoki i a ratou, kei kite ratou: i mataku hoki ratou ki te ui ki a ia i taua kupu.

He aha koia? he pai ake ranei to matou wahi i to ratou? Kahore ra hoki: kua oti hoki te whakapa e matou i mua he he ki nga Hurai, ki nga Kariki, kei raro katoa ratou i te hara;

Na, he pehea ra taku korero? he tikanga mea ranei te mea e patua na ma te whakapakoko? he tikanga mea ranei te whakapakoko?

Na, ahakoa naku, ahakoa na ratou, ko ta matou kauwhau tenei, ko ta koutou ano tenei i whakapono ai.

Ko te tangata e poka ke ana, kahore nei e mau ki te ako a te Karaiti, kahore te Atua i a ia: ko te tangata e mau ana ki te ako a te Karaiti, kei tenei te Matua me te Tama.
