1 Koriniti 2

12 Otiia, ko te wairua i riro mai nei i a tātou, ehara i te wairua o te ao, engari, ko te Wairua e ahu mai nei i te Atua; kia mātau ai tātou ki ngā mea kua oti nei te hōmai e te Atua ki a tātou.

13 Nā, ka kōrero mātou i aua mea, ehara ngā kupu i te whakaaro mōhio o te tangata i whakaako mai, engari, he mea whakaako nā te Wairua Tapu; e whakariterite ana i ngā mea wairua ki ngā mea wairua. 14 Nā, e kore te tangata i te ngākau māori e tango i ngā mea o te Wairua o te Atua. Ki a ia he mea kūware ērā, ā, e kore ia e āhei te mātau, he mea mā te Wairua ka kitea ai.
