Kua hōmai nā hoki e tōna kaha Atua ki a tātou ngā mea katoa mō te ora, mō te karakia pai, i te mea ka mātau nei ki te Kaikaranga i a tātou i runga i te korōria, i te pai. Nā ēnei hoki i riro mai ai i a tātou ngā kupu whakaari, he mea nui whakaharahara, he mea utu nui; mā ēnei hoki koutou ka whiwhi ai ki te āhua Atua, i a koutou ka mawhiti nei i te pirau i te ao, arā i tō te hiahia.

Mā reira nei hoki, me whakapau rawa tō koutou uaua, honoa iho anō te pai ki runga ki tō koutou whakapono; ki runga hoki ki te pai ko te mātauranga; ki runga ki te mātauranga ko te pēhi o te hiahia; ki runga ki te pēhi o te hiahia ko te manawanui; ki runga ki te manawanui ko te karakia pai; ki runga ki te karakia pai ko te atawhai ki ngā tēina; ki runga ki te atawhai ki ngā tēina ko te aroha.

Ki te mea hoki kei a koutou ēnei mea, ki te nui haere hoki, ka meinga koutou kia kaua e māngere, kia kaua e huakore i runga i te mātauranga ki tō tātou Ariki, ki a Īhu Karaiti.

Mō konei, e ōku tēina, kia puta tō koutou uaua ki te whakapūmau i tō koutou karangatanga, i tō koutou whiriwhiringa. Ki te pēnei hoki tā koutou mahi e kore rawa koutou e tapepa.
