Na, whaiatia nga mea papai katoa: Hei ko ta te Koroaua nei a Paora, pononga tapu a T’Atua. Ko tenei te ara tino pai rawa. Maku e whakaatu ki a koutou. Ahakoa korero ahau te reo rangatira o nga tangata, o nga anahera katoa, ȃ kahore te aroha kei ahau, ka rite tonu ahau ki te parahi tangi, ki te himipora tatangi. Na, tenei hoki a matou e mau haere nei, “ko te whakapono, te tumanako, te aroha,” engari o enei e toru; ko te aroha te mea nui o te katoa. Kia whakakororiatia a Ihowa, te Tama a Ihu Karaiti me te Wairua Tapu e tohutohu nei ia tatou ana tamariki ki te mahi i ana mahi, kia whiwhi ai tatou katoa puta noa i te ao ki te tahi oranga horekau he mutunga. E Mihi ana ki era kua huri tuara mai nei kia tatou, nga mate haere atu moe mai, takoto mai. Te tumanako ke aia nei, a te wa ka tutaki ano tatou, te wȃhi kua hanga mai nei e to tatou Ariki a Ihowa. Mo tenei wa e okioki, moe mai, takotomai. Te Hunga Mate Kia Ratou. Tatou nga waihotanga ake o ratou ma, Tena koutou, tena tatou katoa

Te papa panui mo e tahi o nga mahi mihinare waenganui i to tatou iwi kei Poihakena nei ko tenei:
