Te Ngaromanga kore o te Tangata i te Atua.
E taea ra nei e tetahi te huna i a ia ano ki nga wahi ngaro, kia kore ai ia e kitea e Ahau? e ai ta te Atua. Eki ana ianei i Ahau te rangi, mete whenua? e ai ta te Atua.—Heremaia xxxiii. 24. He kupu whakaatu tena na te Atua kei moehewa te tangata e ngaro i te Matua nui tetahi mea iti i roto i nga mahi, i roto i nga ngakau hoki o ia, o ia tangata e haere nei ite ao. Ko nga rire o te moana, me nga hohonutanga o te reinga tupapaku, me nga wahi pourikerekere kite kanohi tangata, e ! marama - kehokeho ki a ia. Kite mahi te tangata ite wahi ngaro, i tenei hanga i te pai, i tenei hanga ra nei, i te kino, takoto noa i te Matua atawliai. Na! mawai tatou e kukume mai kia piri kia tata ki tenei matua nui, kaore he mohiotanga a te tangata ki tona ahua? Ekore rawa e taea e te tangata te kimi; engari na te Karaiti i whakaungutu te takiwa i tauaraia ai te Kai-hanga mete tangata i hanga ai e ia. No te whakatangatatanga o te Karaiti i a ia, katahi ano tatou ka kite marama i te ahua o te Matua i te rangi, a, kua mutu te ngakau-hopohopo, kua whakaekea atu ki a te Karaiti nga hara o te ao katoa. E toro tonu mai ana te ringa o te Karaiti i titia ra kite whao; a, karanga mai ana te reo, i te ra, i te ra, " Haere mai ki Ahau nga tangata katoa e mauiuitia ana, e taimaha ana Maku koutou e whakaokioki." Kite murua e te Karaiti nga hara, kite whakawhirinaki tonu te ngakau ki a te Karaiti te Toka Nui, kaore nei e taea te whakaoioi, penei, ka kite tatou i te ora nui ka kite i hari nui i tenei ao, a, i tera ao ka whakawhiwhia ki nga manomano tikanga whakakoakoa i a tatou, ake, ake, ake.
