Daily Reading for Personal Growth, 40 Days with God

¹⁴ He aha te pai, e oku teina, ki te mea tetahi he whakapono tona, a kahore ana mahi? E taea ranei ia te whakaora e taua whakapono?

¹⁵ Ki te mea e noho tahanga ana tetahi teina, tuahine ranei, ki te mea ranei kua kore he kai mana mo tenei ra, mo tenei ra,

¹⁶ A ka mea atu tetahi o koutou ki a ratou, Haere marie, kia mahana, kia makona; a kahore e hoatu e koutou ki a ratou nga mea e matea ana e te tinana; he aha te pai?

¹⁷ Waihoki ko te whakapono, ki te kahore ana mahi, he mea mate i roto ano i a ia.

¹⁸ Na, he ki tenei ma tetahi, He whakapono tou, he mahi aku: whakakitea mai ki ahau tou whakapono motu ke i au mahi, a maku, ara ma aku mahi, e whakakite atu toku whakapono ki a koe.

¹⁹ E whakapono ana koe kotahi tonu te Atua; he pai tau meatanga: e whakapono ana hoki nga rewera, me te wiri ano.

²⁰ Heoi e pai ana ranei koe kia matau, e te kuware, he mea huakore te whakapono ki te kahore he mahi?
