{\PP \VS{4}Tēnei ahau te whakawhetai atu nei ki tōku Atua, mau tonu tōku mahara ki a koe i āku karakiatanga.

\VS{5}He rongo nōku ki tōu aroha, ki tōu whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Īhu, ā, ki te hunga tapu katoa.

\VS{6}Mō te whakahoatanga mai o tōu whakapono kia whai mana, i runga i te mātauranga ki ngā pai katoa i roto i a koutou, he mea ki a Karaiti Īhu.

\VS{7}He nui hoki tō mātou koa, mārie ana hoki te ngākau i tōu aroha, nō te mea e ora ana ngā ngākau o te hunga tapu i a koe, e tōku teina.

{\PP \VS{8}Heoi, ahakoa he nui tōku māia i roto i a te Karaiti ki te whakatakoto atu i te mea tika ki a koe.

\VS{9}Nā te aroha kē tāku ka īnoi atu nei, arā tāku, tā te koroheke, tā Pāora, he herehere nei ināianei nā Īhu Karaiti.

\VS{10}He kupu tēnei nāku ki a koe mō tāku tamaiti, mō Onehimu, he mea whānau nāku i ahau nei i te herehere.

\VS{11}I mua, kāhore tētahi mea pai ana ki a koe; ināianei ia, kua whai pai koe i a ia, ahau anō hoki.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}Kua whakahokia atu nei ia e ahau, tōna tinana tonu, ko tōku manawa ake ia.

\VS{13}I mea anō ahau kia puritia ia ki ahau, hei whakakapi mōu ki te mahi ki ahau i roto i ngā mekameka o te rongopai.

\VS{14}Otirā, kāhore nei tāu kupu, kīhai ahau i pai kia meatia tētahi mea; kei riro whakauaua mai tōu pai; engari i roto anō i te ngākau.


\par }{\PP \VS{15}Ko te mea anō pea tēnei i motuhia mai ai ia i a koe mō tētahi wā, kia mau pū ai ia i a koe ake ake.

\VS{16}Ehara i te mea hei pono­nga ia i ēnei wā, engari tērā atu i te pono­nga, he teina i nui rawa ai tōku aroha, tērā ia e nui rawa atu tōu, i te kiko­kiko, i te Ariki anō hoki.


\par }{\PP \VS{17}Nā, ki te mea kua waiho ahau hei hoa mōu, manako mai ki a ia me te mea ko ahau.

\VS{18}Ki te mea ia kua hē ia ki tētahi mea āu, kei a ia rānei tētahi mea āu, waiho mai māku tēnā e whaka­aro.

\VS{19}He tuhi­tuhi tēnei nāku, nā Pāora, nā tōku ringa­ringa ake; māku e whaka­utu. Nā, kāhore āku mea­tanga atu ki a koe, tērā anō tāku taonga kei a koe, ko koe anō.

\VS{20}Āe rā, e tōku teina, kia whai pai ahau i a koe i roto i te Ariki; kia ora tōku ngākau i roto i te Ariki.


\par }{\PP \VS{21}He ū nō tōku whaka­aro ki a koe ka ngohe­ngohe, i tuhi­tuhi atu ai ahau ki a koe, e mōhio ana hoki, tērā e nui atu tāu e mea ai i tāku e kōrero atu nei.

\VS{22}Tēnei anō hoki, kia rite mai i a koe tētahi whare mōku; e mea ana hoki ahau tērā e mana ā koutou īnoi, ā, ka tukua atu ahau ki a koutou.
