Ko te Tuhituhi a Pāora Āpōtoro ki ngā  Hiperu.
1.
He maha ngā wāhi, he maha ngā huarahi i kōrero ai te Atua i mua, arā ngā poropiti, ki ngā mātua, 
i ēnei rā whakamutunga nā tāna Tama āna kōrero ki a tātou, ko tāna hoki tērā i mea ai māna ngā mea katoa, ko tāna kaihanga hoki tērā o ngā ao. 
Ko ia te kānapatanga o tōna korōria, te tino āhua o tōna pūmautanga, e whakaū nei i ngā mea katoa ki te kupu o tōna kaha, ka oti i a ia ake anō te horoi ō tātou hara, nā noho ana ia i te ringa matau o te Nui i runga rawa. 
Ā, meinga ana ia kia pai ake i ngā anahera, kia pērā me te ingoa i riro i a ia he nui atu i tō rātou. 
Ki a wai hoki o ngā anahera tāna meatanga i mua, “Ko koe tāku Tama, nō nāianei koe i whakatupuria ai e ahau”? Me tēnei anō, “Ko ahau hei Matua ki a ia, ko ia hei Tama ki ahau?” 
I tāna kawenga mai anō hoki i te whānau mātāmua ki te ao, ka mea ia, “Kia koropiko ngā anahera katoa a te Atua ki a ia.” 
Ko tāna kupu ia mō ngā anahera, “Meinga ana e ia āna anahera hei wairua, āna kaimahi hei mura ahi.” 
Mō te Tama ia, i kī ia, “Pūmau tonu tōu torōna, e te Atua, ake, ake; ā, ko te hēpeta o te tika te hēpeta o tōu kīngitanga. 
I arohaina e koe te tika, i kinongia e koe te hara; nō reira nui atu i tō ōu hoa te whakawahinga a te Atua, a tōu Atua, i a koe ki te hinu o te hari.” 
Me tēnei anō, “Nāu, e te Ariki, i te tīmatanga i whakatakoto te whenua; he mahi anō ngā rangi nā ōu ringa. 
Ko ērā e hemo atu, ko koe ia e mau tonu: ka tawhitotia katoatia hoki ērā me he kākahu. 
Ka pōkaitia e koe, ānō he koheka, ka whakaputaia kētia. Ko koe tonu anō ia koe, kāhore hoki he mutunga o ōu tau.” 
Ki tēhea hoki o ngā anahera tāna meatanga i mua, “Hei tōku ringa matau koe noho ai, kia meinga rā anō e ahau ōu hoariri hei tūranga waewae mōu”? 
He teka ianei he wairua kaimahi rātou katoa, he mea tonotono hei minita, he whakaaro ki te hunga mō rātou nei te ora?
