TE HAMARI PAI.
He mea marama rawa te take i korerotia ai e Te Karaiti te kupu whakarite mo te Hamari Pai kia kore ai tetahi e mea heoi ano ona boa tata ko ona whanaunga ake, ko nga tan gat a ranei e noho tata ana ki a ia. Engari na nga kai-whakaako onamata te tikanmi kia kiia te tangata i patua nei he ahua no te tangata, te Hamari Pai hold he ahua no Te Karaiti, I haere atu tetahi tangata i Hivuhavama hi Heriko : I hangaa te tangata ite tuatahi he mea pai whakaharahara, engari i whakarerea eia taua tikanga pai i haere atu i Hiruharama, i te pa tapu i te pa o te rangimarie i heke haere, (ka penei ta te Reo Kariki) i reira kite tikanga kino kite pa kua oti te kanga (Hhu. 6, 26 ; 1 King. 16, 34.) aka tutaki ki nga kai-pahua : Ara ki a Hatana ratou ko ona anahera, he kai-kohuru hoki ia ( Hoa. 8, 44.) na ka huia ona e ratou : Ka tangohia te kakahu o tona tika. ka tukitukia ia : Kahore tetahi wahi ona e watea ana i te mate, i te hara ( Wai. 38, 4 —8.) a haere ana , whakarerea iho ia, mete mea kua mate: he ahua tupapaku tcna (Eph. 2, 1.) engari kahore ano kia mate rawa, e mau tonu ana tetahi wahi o te wairua i whakahangia e te Atua kite tangata, ahakoa kua hinga ia, kua hara. ko tetahi tohunga ninihi he ana na tahak:: He tohu te tohunga no nga patunga tapu he mea kaha kore kite whakaora ite tangata ( Hip. 10, 1.4.) ipena hoki tetahi Riwaiti : He kahakore hoki te ture kite whakaora. ( Kar. 3, 21.) Na ko tetahi Hamari : Ko Te Karaiti tenei, i te mea e tawai ana nga Hurai ki a ia kahore ana whakahoki ki ta ratou kupu no Hamaria ia. ( Hoa. 8, 48-49.) e pai ana ia kia whakaritea kite iwi i kinongia i whakakaweatia ete Hurai. Ka kite i a ia ka aroha: He aroha tonu ta Te Karaiti kite tangata (Hoa. 15, 9; 13, 1.) Ka takai i ona patunga: Ka pera me ta Ihaia i korero mai ai ( Ih. 61, 1-2 ; Ruk. 4, 18.) i pera hoki ta Rawiri (Wai. 147, 3.) ko te herenga tenei i te tangata kei taka ano kite hara. Ringihia iho kite hinu, kite waina: Ki ta Karihotoma, ko te hinu tenei o te Wairua Tapu e whakawahia ai nga tangata a te Atua, ko te waina o ona toto i whakahekea i te ripeka hei whakaora i a tatou.
Ka whakanoho iaia ki tona ake kararehe : Ka haere ia i raro, ko ta te Karaiti whakaiti i a la ano he whakaaro ki a tatou. (2 Kri. 8, 9.) Kawea ana ia kite whare tira: Ko te Hahi tenei, ko te wahi e kawea ana e te Kai-whaka-ora tohu ana tangata, atawhaitia ai kia ora ra ano ratou. ( Mak. 4, 2 ; Hhe. 14, 4 ; Wai. 103 2; Mt. 13, 15; Whkt. 22, 2.) /te aonga ake i tona haerenga; Kihai aTe Karaiti i pai kia noho tonu ia kite ao nei. ( Hoa. 14, 28.) Ka tangohia eia e rua nga pene : Ki ta etahi ko nga Hakarameta e rua enei i whakaritea nei e Te Karaiti mo ana tangata; ki ta etahi, ko nga kawenata e rua ; ki ta etahi, ko te Kupu tetahi, ko nga Hakarameta tetahi; pai ke atu ia ta etahi ko nga homaitanga Wairua katoa 1 homai e Te Karaiti kia pai ai te noho o te tangata ki tana Hahi. Ka mea kz a ia, '' Man e tiaki ”.* Ka rite tenei ki ta Te Karaiti ki a Pita, “ Whangaia aku feme, whangaia aku hipi ” ( Hoa. 21, 15 - 16.) i whakaritea e te Ariki he minita mo tana Hahi hei mahi i nga mea mo te hunga e noho ana kite Hahi. aki te maha atu an mea e pan : E kore rawa tenei e whakaarohia e te minita pai, ka pai ia ki whakapau i ana, kia whakapaua hoki ia ( 2 Kri. 12, 15 ; 1 Pita 5, 2.) engari e mea ana a Te Karaiti ka whakahokia katoatia ena ( Mt. 19, 29 ; 1 Pita 2, 4.) ina hoki mai ahau : Ko ta Te Karaiti kupu whakaari tenei, tera ia e hoki mai ( Hoa. 14, 3 Mahi 1, 11.) ka riro ano ia ia ana tangata i whakaora ai.
