\VS{5}Ā, kore ake o reira pō, kore ake ō rātou meatanga ki te mārama o te rama, ki te mārama hoki o te rā. E mārama hoki rātou i te Ariki, i te Atua, ā, e kīngi rātou ake ake.

\VS{9}Nā, ko tāna meatanga mai ki ahau, “Kauaka. He hoa pononga hoki ahau nōu, nō ōu tuākana hoki, nō ngā poropiti, nō te hunga anō e pupuri ana i ngā kupu o tēnei pukapuka. Me koropiko ki te Atua.”
