Ko te Tuhituhi a Pāora Āpōtoro ki te Hunga o  Epeha.
1.
Nāku, nā Pāora, i paingia e te Atua hei āpōtoro mā Īhu Karaiti, Ki te hunga tapu e noho ana i Epeha, arā ki te hunga whakapono i roto i a Karaiti Īhu: 
Kia tau ki a koutou te aroha noa me te rangimārie, he mea nā te Atua, nā tō tātou Matua, nā te Ariki hoki, nā Īhu Karaiti. 
Kia whakapaingia te Atua, te Matua o tō tātou Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti, nāna nei tātou i manaaki ki ngā manaaki katoa o te wairua ki ngā wāhi o te rangi, i roto i a te Karaiti; 
i runga i te tikanga i whiriwhiria ai tātou e ia i roto i a ia i mua i te orokohanganga o te ao, hei hunga tapu, kohakore i tōna aroaro. I runga i te aroha 
he mea whakarite hoki tātou nāna i mua, hei tama māna, i roto i a Īhu Karaiti, ko tā tōna whakaaro hoki i pai ai, 
hei whakamoemiti mō te korōria o tōna aroha noa, i atawhaitia ai tātou i roto i tāna i aroha ai. 
Kei roto nei i a ia tō tātou whakaoranga i runga i ōna toto, arā te murunga o ngā hē; he hua hoki nō tōna aroha noa, 
i hira rawa nei ki a tātou i runga i ngā whakaaro nui. I ngā whakaaro mōhio katoa; 
whakakitea mai ana hoki e ia ki a tātou tāna whakaaro ngaro, tāna hoki i āhuareka ai, tāna i whakatakoto ai i mua i roto i a ia, 
mō te tikanga ina rite ngā wā, kia huihuia ngā mea katoa i roto i a te Karaiti, ngā mea i te rangi, me ngā mea i te whenua; i roto anō i a ia. 
I whakawhiwhia nei mātou i roto i a ia, he mea whakarite i mua i runga i tāna i whakatakoto ai, e mahia ana hoki e ia ngā mea katoa i runga i tā tōna whakaaro i pai ai; 
kia ai mātou hei whakamoemiti mō tōna korōria, arā mātou, te hunga kua tūmanako wawe ki a te Karaiti. 
Me koutou hoki tūmanako ana anō koutou ki a ia, i tō koutou rongonga ki te kupu o te pono, ki te rongopai o tō koutou ora; ā, i tō koutou whakaponotanga ki a ia, nā, hīritia ana koutou e te Wairua Tapu i kōrerotia mai i mua; 
hei taumau i ngā taonga mō tātou, kia whakaorangia rā anō tā te Atua mea i hokona, hei whakamoemiti mō tōna korōria! 
Nā konei ahau, i tōku rongonga ki tō koutou whakapono ki te Ariki, ki a Īhu, ki te aroha anō hoki ki te hunga tapu katoa, 
kāhore e mutu tāku whakawhetai mō koutou, me te whakahua anō i a koutou i āku īnoinga; 
kia hōmai ki a koutou e te Atua o tō tātou Ariki, o Īhu Karaiti, e te Matua o te korōria, te wairua o te whakaaro nui, o te whakakitenga i runga i te mōhio ki a ia. 
Kia whakamāramatia ngā kanohi o tō koutou hinengaro; kia mātau ai koutou ki te mea o tāna karanga e tūmanakohia atu nei, ki te korōria nui hoki o tōna taonga i roto i te hunga tapu, 
ki te nui whakaharahara hoki o tōna kaha ki a tātou ki te hunga e whakapono nei, i runga i te mahinga a te mana o tōna kaha, 
i mahi ai ia i roto i a te Karaiti i tāna whakaarahanga i a ia i te hunga mate, ā, whakanohoia ana ia ki tōna matau, ki ngā wāhi i te rangi, 
ki runga ake i ngā kāwanatanga katoa, i te mana, i te kaha, i te rangatiratanga, i ngā ingoa katoa hoki e whakahuatia ana, ehara i te mea ko o tēnei ao anake, ko o tērā ao anō hoki. 
Ā, tukua ana e ia ngā mea katoa ki raro i ōna waewae, meinga ana hoki ia hei upoko i runga i ngā mea katoa mō te hāhi, 
arā, mō tōna tinana, e kī tonu nei i a ia, i te kaiwhakakī o ngā mea katoa i roto i te katoa.
