1 Ko ahau, e oku teina, i ahau i haere atu ai ki a koutou, kihai ahau i haere atu me te pai kupu, me te hua ranei o te whakaaro, i ahau i kauwhau ai ki a koutou i te mea ngaro a te Atua.

2 I takoto hoki toku whakaaro, kia kaua ahau e matau ki tetahi mea i roto i a koutou, ko Ihu Karaiti anake, ko ia hoki i ripekatia.

3 A i a koutou ahau me te ngoikore, me te wehi, me te tuiri nui.

4 Ko taku korero me taku kauwhau ehara i te kupu whakapati na to te tangata whakaaro nui, engari he whakakitenga na te Wairua, na te kaha:

5 Kia kore ai to koutou whakapono e tu i runga i o te tangata whakaaro nui, engari i to te Atua kaha.
