Ki te whai tētahi kia ora, ka mate ia; ki te mate hoki tētahi, mōna i whakaaro ki ahau, ki te rongopai hoki, ka ora ia.

Ā, he aha te pai ki te tangata, ki te riro i a ia te ao katoa, ā, ka kore he ora mōna?

Nā, ka karangatia e ia te mano, rātou ko āna ākonga, ka mea ki a rātou, “Ki te mea tētahi tangata kia haere mai ki te whai i ahau, me whakakāhore ia i a ia anō, me amo i tōna rīpeka, ka aru ai i ahau.

He aha hoki tā te tangata e hoatu ai hei utu mōna kia ora? Ki te whakamā hoki tētahi ki ahau, ki āku kōrero, i tēnei whakatupuranga pūremu, kino, ka whakamā anō te Tama a te tangata ki a ia, ina haere mai i runga i te korōria o tōna Matua, rātou ko ngā anahera tapu.”

Nā, ka mea ia ki a rātou, “Ki tā koutou nā kī, ko wai ahau?” Nā, ka whakahoki a Pita, ka mea ki a ia, “Ko te Karaiti koe.”
