TE TAINAMAITI.
Kite mea e mahi rori ana tetahi tangata ka tupono mai tetahi kohatu, kamaka ranei, tera e ahua raruraru tana mahi. Kite kore e taea e ia te wawahi taua kamaka kite hama kite pika ranei, ka tikina he paura ; kite kore e pakaru i te paura ka tikina he tainamaiti. He tino mea kaha tenei hei wawahi i te kamaka e ngawari ai te mahi a te tangata. Ko te kupu i waiho nei hei ingoa mo tenei mea tino kaha, ara ko te tainamaiti no te Reo Kariki. Te tino tikanga o taua kupu he kaha. Ehara ano ia i te mea na te Kariki taua mea i kite i whakaritea ai he kupu Kariki he ingoa mo taua mea kaha. No naianei tonu taua mea i hangaia ai. Ko te kupu tenei i whakahuatia i te Kawenata Hou mo te Atua, he kaha rawa hoki ia, e taea e ia nga mea katoa. (Mtxix. 26; Mk x. 27 ; Rkxviii. 27). Na te Karaiti tenei whakaakoranga mo te kaha o te Atua, a i te paanga o te raruraru ki a ia ka mahara ia kite kaha o tona Matua, ka karanga hoki ki a ia. (Mt xiv. 36). E taea e la nga mea katoa, ko te tino putake tenei o to tatou whakapono, o to tatou whakawhirinaki ki a la, no te mea e kaha ana ia kite whakarite i nga mea i korerotia mai ( Rom iv. 21) kite whakaara hoki i te hunga mate ( Hip xi. 19): heoi ko te mea pai ma tatou he tuku i a tatou ano ki a ia, a mana tatou e tiaki ( 2 Tim i. 12 ). Tera ano tetahi tohu o tona kaha ara ko tona manawanui tonu kite tangata hara ( Rom ix. 22 ), ko tana whakatahuritanga i te hunga pera kite whakapono ( Rom xi. 23 ). Ko nga take enei i whakaakona ai a Meri e te Wairua Tapu kite whakahua i te Atua ko Te Mea Kaha. ( Rom i. 49). E taea e te Atua nga mea katoa, kua whakaritea ano hoki e ia tetahi tikanga e riro mai ai i a tatou i te tangata, taua kaha nui, ara ma te whakapono. ( Mk ix. 23 ). Na reira i kaha ai a Mohi (Mahi vii. 22), i pera tonu hoki te kupu mona mete kupu mo te Karaiti i a ia i te ao nei ( Rk xxiv. 19). Kite mahara tatou ki tenei ka kaha tatou kite whawhai ki o tatou hoa-riri ( 2 Kori x. 4). Kaore hoki he kaha o ts mate i runga i a te Karaiti. ( Mahi ii. 24). E kore rawa e kiia te kaha i runga i nga mea o tenei ao he kaha kite aroaro o te Atua (2 Kori i. 26), engari kia mohio tatou ki a tatou ano he ngoikore, katahi tatou ka whakakahangia e te Atua ( 2 Kori xii. 10). Ko te kupu a te Atua tetahi mea e riro mai ai i a tatou tenei kaha (Mahi xviii. 24). Ma konei hoki tatou ka ahei ai kite whakaka-
ha i o taiou hoa e ngoikore ana. (Tai i. 9; Rom xv. 2). I pera hoki a Paora, ara i whakapaua tona kaha kite whakakaha i ana akonga ( 2 Kori xiii. 9). E mea ana hoki a Hemi ko te tino tohu o te kaha o tetahi tangata ko te parairetanga i tona ake arero. ( Hem iii. 2). Me inoi tatou kite Atua, kia whakakahangia tatou ki taua mahi uaua, kia whakamaharatia tonutia hoki no te Atua katoa to tatou kaha; kei pohehe tatou e kaha ana tatou kite mahi i nga mea kihai nei i whakaritea e te Atua. ( Mahi xi. 17). He mea pai kia ata tirohia katoatia nga rarangi o tenei korero, kia maharatia hoki he mea tino nui ke atu te kaha o te Atua i te tainamaiti.
