"A i whakakikokikotea te Kupu, a noho ana i a matou, (a i kite ano

matou i tona kororia, he kororia e rite ana ki to te Tamaiti kotahi a te

Matua), ki tonu i te aroha noa me te pono. " Hoari i 1; 14.

TE TURE ME TE AROHA NOA

" I homai hoki e Mohi te ture, ko te aroha

noa me te pono i ahu mai i a Ihu Karaiti. "—

Hoani 1, 17.

E Whakataki iho ana taku korero ki

oku hoa Maori i nga tino putake o

te mahi a te Atua mo te ao, tae mai

ano ki tenei takiwa, hei whakaatu kia

tatou i te rereketanga i waenganui o te

ture raua ko te aroha nos. E rua enei

tino putake i ahu katoa mai i te Atua, to

raua tokorua he pai anake; otira he pai

rawa kia mohio kia raua, kauaka, ano

hoki e konatunatutia Na, he mea ano hoki

tenei e kitea nuitia ana kia tatou kua kitea

he mahi na tatou. Otira e rite ana ki te

hinu raua ko te wai e kore nei e taea te

whakahanumi; he penei ano huki ta tatou

kite i roto i te Karaipiture e kore rawa e

taea te whakahanumi te ture me to aroha

noa. Ko enei mea e rua e tino wehe ke

ana i tetahi i tetahi i nga putake katoa.

Ko te ture he whakaatu mai mo te ahua o

te tangata; me te whakapouri ano hoki i

a ia mona kaore i te wahi i whakaritea.

Ko ta te aroha noa he whakakite tonu mai

i te Atua.

Ta tatou rarangi e penei ana na, " I

homa hoki e Mohi te ture. " Ara, ko Mohi

te putanga mai nana i mau mai te ture i

te Atua ki te tangata. Heoi ko te

" Aroha noa me te pono i ahu mai, i a Ihu

Karaiti. " Ko enei mea e rua te kai

whakamarama o ONA. Me aata titiro

iana tatou kaore i te haere ko te aroha noa

anake engari raua tahi ko te pono; ma

konei e whakauru mai nga mea katoa e

kitea ana i roto. Te pono ranei ki te

kahore to aroha noa mana e tahi nga

mea katoa ki te whakawakanga. Otira

ko te aroha noa me te pono i ahu ngatahi

mai i roto i a Ia; a ko enei te whakaatu-

ranga o nga taha e rua o te Ahua o te

Atua, —He Marama he Aroha, i roto i te

ao hara my tona hinganga.
