Daily Reading for Personal Growth, 40 Days with God

⁶ Nui atu ia tana homai i te aroha noa: koia tana e mea nei, Ka pakeke te Atua ki ta te hunga whakapehapeha, ka homai ia i te aroha noa ki te hunga ngakau papaku.

⁷ Na, kia ngohengohe koutou ki ta te Atua. Turia atu te rewera, a ka oma atu ia i a koutou.

⁸ Whakatata atu ki te Atua, a ka whakatata mai ia ki a koutou. Horoia o koutou ringaringa, e te hunga hara: meinga o koutou ngakau kia hekore, e te hunga ngakau rua.

⁹ Kia pouri koutou, kia puta te aue, te tangi: kia puta ke to koutou kata hei aue, to koutou hari hei ahua whakapoururu.

¹⁰ Whakapapaku koutou ki te aroaro o te Ariki, a mana koutou e whakateitei ake.

¹¹ Kati te ngautuara tetahi ki tetahi, e oku teina, Ko te tangata e ngautuara ana ki tona teina, e whakahe ana hoki i tona teina, e ngautuara ana ia ki te ture, e whakahe ana i te ture: ki te whakahe ia koe i te ture, ehara koe i te kaimahi i te tu re, engari he kaiwhakawa.

¹² Kotahi tonu te kaiwhakatakoto ture, kei a ia te kaha hei whakaora, hei whakangaro: ko wai ra koe e whakahe na i tera atu?
