E inoi ana ahau, e whakamatautau ana hoki ahau ki nga mahi pai otira kahore ano i pangia te mohiotanga o te orangatanga ki ahau. Kahore ahau e tino mohio ka ora rauei ahau kahore rauei.” “ Maku pea ka korero atu Id a koe te take ote awangawanga. E rapu .ana koe te rangimarie kite takiwa ke. E rapu ana koe 1 taua mea ki roto-i a koe, ki roto i o whakaro, o mohiotanga, aha ranei; otira me rapu e koe i waho i a koe, kite tohu i homai te Atua pai ki a koe.” “Tena, titiro ki tona aroha, otiahepatae tenei naku ki a koe ite tuatahi: e mohio ana ranei koe he tangata he rawa i a koe kite ao nei?” “Kau, kahore ahau e mohio ake. E mohio ana ahau ki tenei, kua whakakitea nuitia te he o tetahi i taku, otira e mohio rawa ahau te he o toku ngakau, engari to ratou ngakau e kore ahau e mohio ana pewhea te he ranei pewhea ranei. Tena ko tenei, ka taea e ahau te penei, e kore ahau e mohio ana he tangata kino rawa i ahau.” “Ka tika tena. He patae tenei naku. E mohio ana ranei koe tetahi kite rangi he pai atu i te mea tapu, te mea whakapai, te mea mutunga kore ko te Tama o te Atua ?” “ Kahore, kore rawa atu.” “ Tena koa, titiro koe kite aroha o te Atua. I runga i tona aroha atuki a koe, te mea kino rawa o to ao nei i homai la i Tana

Tama te mea pai rawa ote rangi kite tiaki i

te reinga kia kawe atu koe ki a la.” “Na, ehara i te mea kua tohutohungia e la i Tona aroha atu ki a koe ? Ae i te huarahi miharo rawa atu hold. Otira, kia maharahara koe ki tenei, ehara i te mea i roto i a koe te tohu o Tona aroha atu ki a koe, kau, hi waho he i a koe; koia nei te tohu, i homai e la i Tona Tama mo, i mua atu ite kotahi mano e waru rau tau. Na, ka kite koe nei, kahore nei Atua i whanga noa mo tetahi mea pai ki roto i a koe katahi ka whaki mai e la i Tona aroha ki a koe no te mea kua tika nei koe. Kahore repea. ka whenei Tana whakakitea mai, “la tatou hoki e hara ana, ka mate a te Karaiti mo tatou.”Eoma 5-8. Ka mate la mo ite wa kahore nei he mea pai ki roto i a koe, kahore ho mea arohahina kei a koe, na te mohiotanga o Tana aroha nui whakaharahara ki a koe ka pehia to ngakau kino ka whakapupu ake hoki te aroha i a hoe. 1 E aroha ana tatou ki a la, no te mea ho ia kua aroha hi a tatou i te tuatahi.’ —l Hoani 4-19. “ Kotahi ahaukakakite i toku he—he katoa. I titiro ahau i roto mo te aroha atu ki te Atua ite titiro i waho kite aroha mai ote Atua hi alma." “Ae ra. Ko te hingatanga tena o te tokomaha e awangawanga ana: engari me rapu atii. Ka kite koe inaianei ko te tohu 0 Tona aroha mai ki a koia nei te homaitanga o Tana Tama; kei waho ke hoki tena 1 a koe. ' Tena, me pewhea o hara.” “ Koia, koia, ko te mea tino raru tera ki ahau inaianei. E tino hiahia ana ahau inaianei kia mohio rawa ahau kua murua oku hara kua ora hoki toku wairua.” “ Tena, ka titiro hoki taua ki tena. E ki ana nei koe e whakapono ana koe ki alhu ?” “He tika tonu, e whakapono ana ahau.” “Na, ka korero ahau ki a 1 Pita 11-24 1 Nama ake i waha o tatou hara, na tona tinana ake, i runga ite rakau.’ Na ka taea ranei koe kite whakauru ki roto. I waha ranei la o hara “ Ae, e whakaae ana ahau ki tena.” “ Tena, korero mai ki ahau : i whea o hara i taua wa tonu i a Ihu ki runga i te repeka, i whakatakotoria o hara e te Atua i whea ?” “ Kei runga i a Ihu.” “Nana ranei i whakatakotoria o hara

katoa ki runga i a Liu.” “ Ae ra, 1 whakatakoto.” “la Ihu o hara i tana wa tonu i a la nei i runga i te ripeka, Kei reira la inaianei ?” “ Kahore kau.” “Ae ra, kei te rangi la kei runga i te torona a te Matua, e mohio ana hoki tatou kakore rawa he hara kei runga i a la ki reira. Xena, i a la o hara ki runga i te ripeka, kahore kau kei ranga i te torona, engari ra keihea o hara.” Koia ra, katahi ahau ka mar-ama. Kihal ahau i kite noa tana tikanga i te tuatahi. Nana ra i waha oku hara. Kua mamaetia hoki la mo oku hara, Nana hoki i murua, kei te rangi hoki la inaianei hara kore, kahore kau he hara kei a la. Kia nui te Ariki! Katahi ahau ka marama. Ano ra tokii pohehe toku kapotanga i nga wa katoa i rapu noa ahau nga tohu i rotoi ahau., engari te tohu tenei kua arahina a Ihu, kei ; runga i te torona hoki la.” “ Xena, ka taea Roe inaianei kite ki nei ina murua o harm ?’ “ Ae ra he kaha rawa ahau.” “ Engari me pewhea to mohio ?” “No te mea ka kite Atua, ‘Na Ihu i waha ora ki runga i te rakau, inainei nei kei te rangi la, kahore hoki oku hara ki ala inaianei nei, engari i a la oku hara i runga i te ripeka, a e kore rawa e taea te Atua kite whakawakia ahau mo aua hara no te mea Nana nei i whakawakia a Ihu moku mo oku hara nei, kua whakakitea hoki Tana pai no te mea kua whakaarahina i a la i te mate.” “Ka tika tau e hoa, tika rawa. Kia piri tonu koe kite kupu ote Atua, te kupu tika, te kupu kua tau tonu ake ake. Ahakoa ka hinga te whakaaro te aha ranei a te tangata, kau mau tonu te kupu ote Atua kahore he ngaro ake ake ake tonu atu. “ Nga tangata katoa e whakapono ana ka whakatikaia ai i nga mea katoa.— Nga Mahi A Nga Apotoro 13-19.
