1 Ko te tangata he ngoi­kore te whaka­pono, manako­hia, kauaka ia ki ngā tau­tohe whaka­aro. 2 Ko tētahi hoki e whaka­pono ana he pai ngā mea katoa hei kai māna. Ko te tangata ia he ngoi­kore tōna whaka­pono e kai ota­ota ana. 3 Kaua te tangata e kai ana e whaka­hāwea ki te tangata kāhore e kai, kaua hoki te tangata kāhore e kai e whaka­hē i te tangata e kai ana. Kua manako­hia hoki ia e te Atua. 4 Ko wai koe e whaka­hē nā i te pono­nga a tērā? Mā tōna ranga­tira ia e whaka­tū, e whaka­hi­nga rānei. Inā, ka whaka­tū­ria anō ia, e taea hoki ia e te Atua te whaka­tū.
