“Nā, ko tāku kupu tēnei ki a koutou e whakarongo mai nei: arohaina ō koutou hoa whawhai; kia pai te mahi ki te hunga e kino ana ki a koutou. Manaakitia te hunga e kanga ana i a koutou, me īnoi mō te hunga e whakawhiu ana i a koutou. Nā, ki te pākia tōu pāpāringa e tētahi, whakaangahia atu hoki tētahi; ki te tangohia tōu ngeri e tētahi, kaua e kaiponuhia tōu koti. Hoatu ki ngā tāngata katoa e īnoi ana ki a koe; kaua hoki e tonoa āu mea ki te tangohia e te tangata. Ā, ko tā koutou e pai ai kia meatia e ngā tāngata ki a koutou, meatia anō e koutou ki a rātou. “Ki te aroha koutou ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? E aroha ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga e aroha ana ki a rātou. Ki te atawhai hoki koutou i te hunga e atawhai ana i a koutou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? E pēnā ana anō te hunga hara. Ki te tuku moni koutou ki te hunga e mea ai koutou ka utua mai rātou, kei hea he whakawhetai ki a koutou? E tuku moni ana hoki te hunga hara ki te hunga hara, mō te pērā kia whakahokia ki a rātou. Engari, kia aroha ki ō koutou hoa whawhai, mahia te pai ki a rātou, ka tuku atu he moni, kaua anō e mutu te tūmanako; ā, tērā e rahi te whakautu ki a koutou, ka tupu koutou hei tamariki mā te Runga Rawa; e atawhai ana hoki ia i te hunga e kore e whakawhetai, i te hunga kino. Kia ngāwari rāpea koutou, kia pērā me tō koutou Matua e ngāwari ana.” “Kaua e whakawā, ā, e kore koutou e whakawākia; kaua e whakatau hē, e kore te hē, a, e whakataua ki a koutou. Houhia te rongo, ā, e houhia anō te rongo ki a koutou. Hoatu, ā, ka hōmai ki a koutou; he mēhua pai, pēhi rawa, oioi rawa, pūrena tonu tā rātou e hōmai ai ki te kokoru o ō koutou kākahu. Ko te mēhua hoki e mēhua ai koutou, hei mēhua anō tēnā ki a koutou.” Ā, ka puaki tāna kupu whakarite ki a rātou: “E āhei rānei te matapō te ārahi i te matapō? E kore rānei e taka tahi rāua ki te poka? E kore te ākonga e rahi ake i tōna kaiwhakaako; engari, ka rite anō ki ō rātou kaiwhakaako ngā tāngata katoa kua tino pūkengatia. “He aha tāu e titiro ki te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina, tē kite i te kurupae i tōu ake kanohi? Ā, me pēhea e taea ai e koe te kōrero ki tōu teina, ‘E tōku teina, iaua, kia kapea atu e ahau te otaota i roto i tōu kanohi,’ tē kite i te kurupae i roto i tōu kanohi? E te tangata tinihanga, mātua kapea atu e koe te kurupae i roto i tōu kanohi, kātahi koe ka mārama ai ki te kape i te otaota i roto i te kanohi o tōu teina.” “E kore hoki te rākau ātaahua e hua i te hua kino; e kore anō te rākau kino e hua i te hua ātaahua. Mā ōna hua tonu ka mōhiotia ai tēnei rākau, tēnei rākau. E kore hoki e kohia he piki i runga i ngā tātarāmoa, e kore anō e whakia he karepe i runga i te tūmatakuru. He tangata pai, he pai tāna e whakaputa ai i roto i te taonga pai o tōna ngākau. He tangata kino, he kino tāna e whakaputa ai i roto i ngā taonga kino o tōna ngākau. He pūrenatanga hoki nō te ngākau ngā kupu a te māngai.” “He aha koutou ka karanga ai ki ahau, ‘E te Ariki, e te Ariki,’ tē mahi i āku e kōrero ai? Nā, ko te tangata e haere mai ana ki ahau, e rongo ana ki āku kupu, ā, e mahi ana, māku e whakaatu ki a koutou tōna rite. Ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tētahi whare, i keri, i whakahōhonu, ā, whakatakoto ana i te papa ki runga ki te toka. Ā, i te putanga o te waipuke, ka pakaru te roma ki taua whare, heoi kīhai i taea te whakangāueue; nō te mea i ū tōna hanganga. Tēnā ko te tangata i rongo, ā, kīhai i mahi, ka rite ia ki te tangata i hanga i tētahi whare ki runga ki te oneone, tē ai he tūranga; i te pākarutanga o te roma, nā, hinga tonu iho; ā, nui atu te pakaru o taua whare.”
