4 He manawa­nui te aroha, ā, he ata­whai; e kore te aroha e hae; e kore te aroha e whakaī, e kore e whaka­peha­peha, 5 kāhore ōna tikanga whanokē, e kore e whai ki āna ake, e kore e riri wawe, e kore e whaka­iri kino; 6 e kore e hari ki te hē, engari ka hari tahi me te pono; 7 e whaka­manawa­nui ana ki ngā mea katoa, e whaka­pono ana ki ngā mea katoa, e tū­mana­ko ana ki ngā mea katoa, e whaka­ririka kau ana ki ngā mea katoa.

8 E kore rawa te aroha e taka. Nā, ahakoa mahi poro­piti, e memeha; ahakoa reo kē, e mutu; ahakoa mātau­ranga, e memeha.
