a kihai i whakarongo ki te reo o oku kaiwhakaako, kihai ano toku taringa i anga ki te hunga e tohutohu ana i ahau (Whakatauki 5:13)
Ki te kore koe e whakarongo ki te Matua, ki te kore koe e whakarongo ki a Ihu; te Word, ki te reo ano hoki o te Wairua Tapu, Ko wai to Kaiako, engari haere i to ara ake, katahi koe ka tae ki te ara o te ngaromanga.
Te Matua, kei reira te Kupu me te Wairua Tapu hei whakaako, hei arahi i a koe. Kaore ratou i reira ki te tukino i a koe, ki te whakahe, ki te whakararuraru, ki te whakangaro ranei i a koe. Engari kei reira ratou, hei hanga i a koutou i runga i te tika me te tapu. No reira, ka pakeke koe i te taha wairua ka tupu ake ki roto i te ahua o te Karaiti. Ma ratou koe e arahi, kia mau ai koe i runga i te huarahi tika o te ora, māna e ahu atu ki te ora tonu.
No reira kaua e whakakeke, a whakarongo ki te reo o Ratou, Ko wai e aroha ana ki a koe, i mua i te mutunga.
'Kia tote mo te whenua’
