Ngā Rongopai Matiu 3:1-17 1 Nā i aua rā ka puta a Hoani Kaiiriiri, ka kauwhau i te koraha o Huria, 2 E mea ana, Ripeneta koutou: kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi. 3 Ko ia hoki tēnei i kōrerotia e te poropiti a Ihaia, i mea ai, He reo nō tetahi e karanga ana i te koraha, Whakapaia te ara o te Ariki, whakatikaia ōna ara. 4 Ā, ko te kākahu o taua Hoani he huruhuru kamera, he whitiki hiako hoki tōna hope; ko tana kai he mawhitiwhiti, he honi koraha. 5 Kātahi ka haere atu ki a ia a Hiruharama, me Huria katoa, me ngā whenua katoa e tūtata ana ki Horano, 6 Ā, iriiria ana rātou e ia ki Horano, me te whaki anō i ō rātou hara. 7 Ia hi‘o atura râ oia i te rahi o te mau Pharisea e te mau Sadukea e haere mai ana i tana bapetizoraa, ua na ô atura oia ia ratou, E te fanau‘a nakahi, na vai outou i fa‘aara ia oma i te riri e haere mai nei? 8 Nā, whakaputaina he hua e rite ana ki te ripeneta; 9 Kaua hoki e whakaaro kei mea koutou i roto i a koutou, Ko Āperahāma tō tātou matua: ko taku kupu hoki tēnei ki a koutou, e āhei ana te Atua ki te whakaara tamariki mā Āperahāma i roto i ēnei kōhatu. 10 Nā, kua whakatakotoria te toki ki te pakiaka o ngā rākau; ko ia rākau e kore e hua i te hua pai, ka tuaina, ka maka ki te ahi. 11 Ko ahau nei, he iriiri taku i a koutou ki te wai, hei mea ripeneta: ko ia ia e haere mai ana i muri i ahau, nui atu tona mana i ahau, e kore ahau e tau hei mau i ona hu: mana koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te ahi: 12 Kei tōna ringa tana pū, ā, māna e tino tahi tana patunga witi, ka kohia hoki tana witi ki roto ki te whare witi; ko te papapa ia e tahuna ki te ahi e kore e tineia. 13 Katahi ka haere mai a Ihu i Kariri ki Horano, ki a Hoani, kia iriiria e ia. 14Otira ka whakakahore a Hoani i a ia, ka mea, Ko te mea tika kia iriiria ahau e koe, a e haere mai ana koe ki ahau? 15 Nā ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Tukua ra inaianei; ko te tikanga hoki tenei ma taua kia whakarite i nga mea tika katoa. Na tukua ana ia e ia. 16 Ā, nō ka oti a Ihu te iriiri, ka piki ake ia i te wai: nā, ka tuwhera te rangi ki a ia, ā ka kite ia i te Wairua o te Atua e heke iho ana me he kūkupa, e tau ana ki runga ki a ia: 17 Nā, ko te reo i te rangi e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tēnei i aroha ai, ko taku i ahuareka ai.
Te Iriiri o te Wai me te Ahi Kātahi ahau ka mahara ki te kupu a te Ariki, ki tāna i mea ai, I iriiri a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu. Ngā Mahi 11:16
He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, i roto i te hunga i whānau mai i te wahine, kāhore anō kia ara ake tētahi he nui atu i a Hoani Kaiiriiri: heoi ko te iti rawa i te rangatiratanga o te rangi he nui atu i a ia. A no nga ra o Hoani Kaiiriiri a mohoa noa nei e tukinotia ana te rangatiratanga o te rangi, a e tangohia ana e te hunga taikaha. Matiu 11:11-12 A ka mea ki ana pononga, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tenei; kua ara mai ia i te hunga mate; a na reira i mahi ai nga merekara i roto i a ia. Na, i te mea kua whakaakona ia e tona whaea, ka mea ia, Homai ki konei te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri i runga i te rihi. Matiu 14:2,8 Nā ka mea rātou, Ki tā ētahi ko Hoani Kaiiriiri koe; ki tā ētahi ko Iraia koe; ki tā ētahi ko Heremaia koe, ko tētahi rānei o ngā poropiti. Matiu 16:14 Kātahi ka mōhio ngā ākonga ko Hoani Kaiiriiri tāna i kōrero ai ki a rātou. Matiu 17:13 Nā, ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea, Kāore kōrua e mōhio ki tā kōrua e inoi nei. E āhei rānei kōrua te inu i te kapu ka inumia e ahau, kia iriiria hoki ki te iriiringa ka iriiria ai ahau? Ka mea rāua ki a ia, E āhei anō māua. Ka mea ia ki a rāua, E inu anō kōrua i taku kapu, e iriiria hoki ki te iriiringa ka iriiria ai ahau: ko te noho ia ki tōku matau, ki tōku maui, ehara i te mea māku e hoatu, engari ka hoatu ki te hunga kua whakaritea nei e tōku Matua mō rātou. Matiu 20:22-23 Matiu 21:25 Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, nō hea mai? Nō te rangi, nō te tangata rānei? Ā, ka whakaaroaro rātou ki a rātou anō, ka mea, Ki te mea tātou, Nō te rangi; ka mea ia ki a tātou, He aha rā koutou te whakapono ai ki a ia? Matiu 28:18-20 Na ka haere mai a Ihu, ka korero ki a ratou, ka mea, Kua tukua mai ki ahau te mana katoa i te rangi, i te whenua. Na reira haere koutou, whakaakona nga iwi katoa, iriiria ratou i runga i te ingoa o te Matua, o te Tama, o te Wairua Tapu: Akona ratou kia mau ki nga mea katoa i whakahaua e ahau ki a koutou: na, kei a koutou tonu ahau i nga ra katoa, a tae noa ki te mutunga o te ao. Amine. I iriiri a Hoani i te koraha, i kauwhau i te iriiri ripeneta hei murunga hara. Na ka haere ki a ia te whenua katoa o Huria, me te hunga o Hiruharama, a iriiria ana ratou katoa e ia ki te awa o Horano, me te whaki i o ratou hara. Ko ahau nei taku i iriiri ai i a koutou ki te wai: mana ia koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu. A i aua ra ka haere mai a Ihu i Nahareta o Kariri, ka iriiria e Hoani ki Horano. Maka 1:4-5,8-9 Ā, ka rongo a Kingi Herora mōna; (kua horapa hoki tōna ingoa:) ka mea ia, Kua ara a Hoani Kaiiriiri i te hunga mate, ā, nā reira i puta ai ngā merekara i roto i a ia. Nā ka haere ia, ka mea ki tōna whaea, Me aha ahau e tono ai? Ka mea ia, Ko te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri. Nā ka hohoro tonu tana haere ki te kingi, ka tono, ka mea, Ko taku e pai ai kia homai e koe ki ahau i roto i te rihi te matenga o Hoani Kaiiriiri. Maka 6:14,24,25 Na ka whakahoki ratou, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri: ki ta etahi ia, Ko Iraia; ki ta etahi ia, Ko tetahi o nga poropiti. Maka 8:28 Nā, ko te meatanga a Ihu ki a rātou, Kāore kōrua e mōhio ki tā kōrua e inoi nei: e taea rānei e kōrua te inu i te kapu ka inumia nei e ahau? kia iriiria hoki ki te iriiringa ka iriiria nei ahau? Ka mea rāua ki a ia, E taea e māua. Ka mea a Ihu ki a rātou, E inu anō kōrua i te kapu ka inumia nei e ahau; ā, ka iriiria kōrua ki te iriiringa ka iriiria nei ahau. Maka 10:38-39

Te Iriiri o te Wai me te Ahi Kātahi ahau ka mahara ki te kupu a te Ariki, ki tāna i mea ai, I iriiri a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu. Ngā Mahi 11:16
Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, no te rangi, no te tangata rānei? Whakautua mai ki ahau. Maka 11:30 Ko ia e whakapono ana, ka iriiria, ka whakaorangia; ko ia ia e kore e whakapono, ka whakataua te he ki a ia. Maka 16:16 Na ka haere ia ki te whenua katoa e tata ana ki Horano, ka kauwhau i te iriiringa ripeneta hei murunga hara; Na ka mea ia ki te mano i haere mai kia iriiria e ia, E te uri nakahi, na wai koutou i whakatupato kia rere i te riri meake nei puta? Na ka haere mai hoki nga pupirikana kia iriiria, ka mea ki a ia, E te Kaiwhakaako, me aha matou? Ka whakahoki a Hoani, ka mea ki a ratou katoa, He pono taku iriiri i a koutou ki te wai; engari kei te haere mai tetahi he nui ake tona kaha i ahau, e kore ahau e tau ki te wetewete i te here o ona hu: mana koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te ahi: Na, i te iriiringa o te iwi katoa, i a Ihu hoki e iriiri ana, a e inoi ana, ka tuwhera te rangi, Ruka 3:3,7,12,16,21 A, no te taenga mai o ngā tāngata ki a ia, ka mea rātou, Kua tonoa mai māua e Hoani Kaiiriiri ki a koe, e mea ana, Ko koe rānei te tangata e haere mai ana? me tatari rānei māua ki tētahi atu? Ko taku kupu hoki tēnei ki a koutou, i roto i te hunga i whānau mai i te wahine, kāhore he poropiti nui atu i a Hoani Kaiiriiri: ko te iti rawa ia i te rangatiratanga o te Atua, nui atu i a ia. Ā, ko te hunga katoa i rongo ki a ia, me ngā pupirikana anō hoki, i whakatika i te Atua, i a rātou i iriiria ki te iriiringa a Hoani. Ko ngā Parihi ia me ngā kaiwhakaako o te ture i whakakahore i te whakaaro o te Atua ki a rātou anō, kāore rātou i iriiria e ia. I haere mai hoki a Hoani Kaiiriiri, kāhore i kai taro, kāhore hoki i inu waina; ā, e mea ana koutou, He rewera tōna. Ruka 7:20,28-30,33 Nā rātou i whakahoki, ka mea, Ko Hoani Kaiiriiri; ki tā ētahi ia, ko Iraia; ki tā ētahi ia, kua ara mai tētahi o ngā poropiti onamata. Ruka 9:19 He iriiringa tōku e iriiria ai ahau; ā, ka pēhea tōku pōuri kia oti rā anō! Ruka 12:50 Ko te iriiringa a Hoani, no te rangi, no te tangata rānei? Ruka 20:4 Nā ka pātai rātou ki a ia, ka mea ki a ia, He aha rā koe i iriiri ai, ki te mea ehara koe i a te Karaiti, ehara i a Iraia, ehara i te poropiti? Ka whakahoki a Hoani ki a rātou, ka mea, He iriiri taku ki te wai: otiia kei waenganui i a koutou tetahi e tū ana, kāore koutou e mōhio ki a ia; I meatia ēnei mea ki Petapara i tērā taha o Horano, ki te wāhi e iriiri ana a Hoani. Ā, kāore ahau i mōhio ki a ia: engari kia whakakitea ia ki a Iharaira, koia ahau i haere mai ai ki te iriiri ki te wai. Ā, kāore ahau i mōhio ki a ia: engari ko te kaitono mai i ahau ki te iriiri ki te wai, i mea mai ia ki ahau, Ko te tangata e kite ai koe i te Wairua e heke iho ana, e noho ana ki runga ki a ia, ko ia te kaiiriiri ki te Wairua Tapu. Hoani 1:2526,28,31,33 I muri iho i ēnei mea ka haere a Ihu rātou ko āna ākonga ki te whenua o Huria; ā, noho ana ia ki reira me rātou, ka iriiri. I iriiri anō hoki a Hoani ki Enona, e tata ana ki Harema, nā te mea he nui te wai i reira: ā, ka haere mai rātou, ka iriiria. Ā, ka haere mai rātou ki a Hoani, ka mea ki a ia, E Rapi, ko te tangata i a koe i tērā taha o Horano, ko tāu i whakaatu mai nei, nāna, kei te iriiri ia, ā, e haere mai ana te katoa ki a ia. Hoani 3:22-23,26 A, no ka mohio te Ariki kua rongo nga Parihi, he tokomaha atu nga akonga a Ihu i mea ai, i iriiri ai i a Hoani, (he ahakoa ehara i a Ihu nana i iriiri, engari ko ana akonga,) Hoani 4:1-2 Na ka haere atu ano ia ki tawahi o Horano, ki te wahi i matua iriiri ai a Hoani; a noho ana i reira. Hoani 10:40

Te Iriiri o te Wai me te Ahi Kātahi ahau ka mahara ki te kupu a te Ariki, ki tāna i mea ai, I iriiri a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu. Ngā Mahi 11:16
Ngā Mahi I iriiri hoki a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia, e kore e maha ake ngā rā, ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu. Ngā Mahi 1:5 Mai i te iriiringa a Hoani tae noa ki te ra i tangohia atu ai ia i a tatou, me whakatu tetahi hei hoa mo tatou ki te whakaatu i tona aranga mai. Nga Mahi 1:22 Na ko te meatanga a Pita ki a ratou, Ripeneta, kia iriiria tena tangata, tena tangata o koutou i runga i te ingoa o Ihu Karaiti, hei murunga hara; a ka riro i a koutou te mea homai, ara te Wairua Tapu. Ngā Mahi 2:38 Nā, ko te hunga i tango i tana kupu i iriiria: ā, i taua rā anō i honoa mai ki a rātou te tata ki te toru mano ngā wairua. Ngā Mahi 2:41 Ia rātou ia e whakapono ana ki a Piripi e kauwhau ana i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga o te Atua, me te ingoa hoki o Ihu Karaiti, ka iriiria rātou, ngā tāne me ngā wāhine. Ngā Mahi 8:12 I whakapono anō hoki a Haimona: ā, i tōna iriiringa, ka piri tonu ia ki a Piripi, ā, ka miharo ia, i tana kitenga i ngā merekara me ngā tohu i mahia. (Kāore anō hoki ia i tau ki tētahi o rātou: he iriiringa anake i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki, o Ihu.) Ngā Mahi 8:13,16 A i a rāua e haere ana, ka tae rāua ki tētahi wai: ka mea te unaka, “Na, he wai tēnei: he aha te mea e kore ai ahau e iriiria?” Nā ka mea ia kia tū te hariata: ā ka heke rāua tokorua ki te wai, a Piripi rāua ko te unaka; ā iriiria ana ia e ia.” Ngā Mahi 8:36,38 Nā, marere tonu iho ētahi mea, me te mea he unahi, i ōna kanohi; ā, titiro tonu ake ia, ka whakatika, ka iriiria. Ngā Mahi 9:18 Ko taua kupu, e mōhio ana koutou, i kauwhautia puta noa i Huria, i tīmata mai i Kariri, i muri i te iriiringa i kauwhautia e Hoani; E ahei ranei te aukati i te wai e tetahi, kei iriiria enei kua whiwhi tahi nei me tatou ki te Wairua Tapu? Na ka whakahau ia kia iriiria ratou i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki. Na ka inoi ratou ki a ia kia noho mo etahi ra. Nga Mahi 10:37,47-48 Kātahi ahau ka mahara ki te kupu a te Ariki, ki tāna i mea ai, I iriiri a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu. Ngā Mahi 11:16 I mua i tōna haerenga mai, i kauwhautia e Hoani te iriiri ripeneta ki te iwi katoa o Iharaira. Ngā Mahi 13:24 Ā, nō ka oti ia te iriiri, rātou ko tōna whare, ka tohe ia ki a mātou, ka mea, Ki te mea kua whakaaro koutou he pono taku mahi ki te Ariki, tomo mai ki tōku whare, noho ai. Nā ka tohe ia ki a mātou. Nā ka mauria rāua e ia i taua hāora o te pō, ka horoia ō rāua whiunga; ā, ka iriiria tonutia ia, me āna katoa. Ngā Mahi 16:15,33 Nā, i whakapono a Kirihipu, te rangatira o te whare karakia, me tōna whare katoa ki te Ariki; ā, he tokomaha ngā Kōriniti i rongo, i whakapono, i iriiria hoki. I whakaakona tēnei tangata ki te ara o te Ariki; ā, he toko tonu ake tōna ngākau, ka kōrero ia, ka whakaako tika i ngā mea a te Ariki; ko te iriiringa a Hoani anake tāna i matau ai. Ngā Mahi 18:8,25

Whakatika, kia iriiria koe, kia horoia ōu hara, me te karanga anō ki te ingoa o te Ariki. Ngā Mahi 22:16
Ngā Epistol Kāore koutou i te mōhio, ko tātou katoa kua iriiria ki roto ki a Karaiti Ihu, kua iriiria ki roto ki tōna matenga? Nā reira kua tanumia ngātahitia tātou me ia i te iriiringa ki roto ki te matenga: kia rite ai ki a te Karaiti i whakaarahia ake nei i te hunga mate e te korōria o te Matua, waihoki ko tātou kia haere i roto i te ora hou. Roma 6:3-4 Kua wehea koia a te Karaiti? i ripekatia a Paora mo koutou? i iriiria ranei koutou i runga i te ingoa o Paora? E whakawhetai ana ahau ki te Atua, kihai ahau i iriiri i tetahi o koutou, ko Kirihipu anake raua ko Kaiu; kei mea tetahi kua iriiria e ahau i runga i toku ingoa. I iriiria ano hoki e ahau te whare o Tepana: heoi ano, kahore ahau e mohio kua iriiria e ahau tetahi atu. Kihai hoki ahau i tonoa mai e te Karaiti ki te iriiri, engari ki te kauwhau i te rongopai: ehara i te mea i runga i te whakaaro nui o te kupu, kei whakakahoretia te ripeka o te Karaiti. 1 Koriniti 1:13-17 I iriiria katoatia hoki rātou ki a Mohi i roto i te kapua, i roto hoki i te moana; 1 Koriniti 10:2 Kotahi nei hoki te Wairua i iriiria ai tātou katoa ki roto ki te tinana kotahi, ahakoa Hūrai, ahakoa Kariki, ahakoa herehere, ahakoa rangatira; kotahi tonu te Wairua i whakainumia ai tātou katoa. 1 Koriniti 12:13 Ki te kore rawa te hunga mate e ara, he aha rawa rātou ka iriiria ai hei whakakapi mō te hunga mate? 1 Koriniti 15:29 Ko te hunga hoki o koutou kua iriiria ki roto ki a te Karaiti, kua kakahuria e koutou a te Karaiti. Karatia 3:27 Kotahi Ariki, kotahi whakapono, kotahi iriiringa, Epeha 4:5 I tanumia ngātahitia koutou me ia i te iriiringa, i whakaarahia ngātahitia hoki koutou me ia i reira, nā te whakapono ki te mahi a te Atua, nāna nei ia i whakaara ake i te hunga mate. Korohe 2:12 Ki te whakaakoranga mō ngā iriiringa, mō te whakapanga o ngā ringaringa, mō te aranga mai o te hunga mate, mō te whakawakanga mutungakore.

Ngā Pukapuka Ngaro o te Paipera Kua kite mātou i a Ihu, i ripekatia e koutou, e kōrero ana ki ana akonga tekau mā tahi, e noho ana i waenganui i a rātou i Maunga Oriwa, e mea ana ki a rātou, Haere ki te ao katoa, kauwhautia te Rongopai ki ngā iwi katoa, iriiria rātou i runga i te ingoa o te Matua, o te Tama, o te Wairua Tapu; ko te tangata e whakapono ana, e iriiria ana, ka ora. Ā, i tana kōrerotanga i ēnei mea ki ana akonga, ka kite mātou i a ia e piki ana ki te rangi. Rongopai a Nikorima 10:19-21 Ka whakahoki ia, Ko ahau te reo o te tangata e karanga ana i te koraha, ko Hoani Kaiiriiri, ko te poropiti hoki a te Runga Rawa, i haere i mua i tōna taenga mai ki te whakarite i tōna ara, ki te homai i te mātauranga o te whakaoranga ki tana iwi, hei murunga hara. Ā, ko ahau, ko Hoani, i taku kitenga i a Ihu e haere mai ana ki ahau, i te mea e whakaohokia ana e te Wairua Tapu, ka mea ahau, Nana, te Reme a te Atua, nana, te tango atu i ngā hara o te ao. Ā, i iriiria ia e ahau ki te awa o Horano, ā, ka kite ahau i te Wairua Tapu e heke iho ana ki runga ki a ia i roto i te āhua o te kukupa, ā, ka rongo ahau i te reo i te rangi, e mea ana, Ko taku Tama aroha tēnei, ko taku e ahuareka ai. Rongopai a Nikorima 13:11-13 I te rongonga o te tangata tuatahi, o tō tātou matua, o Ātama, i ēnei mea, i iriiria a Ihu ki Horano, ka karanga ia ki tana tama, ki a Heta, ka mea, Kōrerotia ki ā koutou tama, ki ngā tupuna me ngā poropiti, ngā mea katoa i rongo ai koe i a Mikaera, te tino anahera, i taku tononga i a koe ki ngā kūaha o Pararaiha, kia inoi ki te Atua kia whakawahia e ia tōku mahunga i ahau e mate ana. Rongopai a Nikorima 14:1-2 Ko reira a te Karaiti, te Tama aroha rawa a te Atua, ka haere mai ki te whenua ki te whakaara anō i te tinana tangata o Ātama, ā, i taua wā anō ka whakaara anō i ngā tinana o te hunga mate, ā, ina tae mai ia ka iriiria ia ki Horano: Te Rongopai a Nikorima 14:6 I whakahau mai anō a Mikaera, te anahera nui, kia haere mātou ki tāwāhi o Horano, ki tētahi whenua pai, momona hoki, kei reira te tini o te hunga i ara ake i te hunga mate me mātou hei tohu i te aranga mai o te Karaiti. E toru noa iho ngā rā i tukua mai ai i a mātou i te hunga mate, i ara ake nei rātou ki te whakanui i te kapenga o tō mātou Ariki me ō mātou mātua, me te whakaatu i tā mātou whakaaturanga mō te Karaiti te Ariki, ā, kua iriiria mātou ki te awa tapu o Horano. Ā, ināianei kāore rātou e kitea e tetahi. Rongopai a Nikorima 21:4-5 Ka hari te hunga e pupuri ana i tō rātou iriiringa kia ma; ka kitea hoki e rātou te rangimārie me te Matua, te Tama, me te Wairua Tapu. Ngā Mahi a Paora rāua ko Tekara 1:18 I muri iho ka whakaputaina mai e rātou he maha atu ngā kararehe mohoao; engari i tū a Tekara me ōna ringa e totoro ana ki te rangi, e inoi ana; ā, i te mutunga o tana inoi, ka tahuri ia, ka kite i tētahi poka wai, ka mea, "Kua tae ki te wā tika kia iriiria ahau." Nō reira ka ruku ia ki te wai, ka mea, "I runga i tōu ingoa, e tōku Ariki, e Ihu Karaiti, kua iriiria ahau i tēnei rā whakamutunga." I te kitenga o ngā wāhine me te iwi i tēnei, ka karanga rātou, ka mea, "Kaua e ruku ki te wai." Ā, ka karanga te kāwana, me te whakaaro he nui te ataahua e kainga ana e ngā ika (ngā kuao moana). Ngā Mahi a Paora rāua ko Tekara 9:6-7 Nō te kitenga o Tekara, ka mea ia ki a ia, Kua iriiria ahau, e Paora; ko ia hoki e āwhina ana i a koe ki te kauwhau, kua āwhina i ahau ki te iriiri. Ngā Mahi a Paora rāua ko Tekara 10:2 Nā, ki te kore e taea e ēnei tāngata tika te whakaora i ā rātou tamariki mā roto i tō rātou tika; me pēhea tātou e tumanako ai ki te tomo ki te rangatiratanga o te Atua, ki te kore tātou e pupuri i tō tātou 6

iriiringa kia tapu, kia kore e poke? Ko wai hoki hei kaiwhakahauhau mā tātou, ki te kore tātou e kitea kua mahi tātou i te mea tapu, i te mea tika? 2 Keremeneta ki ngā Kōriniti 3:9 Nā, mō te hunga tuatahi o ēnei, kua tuhituhia ki te iwi o Iharaira, e kore rātou e whiwhi i te iriiringa e murua ai ngā hara; engari ka whakatūria e rātou tētahi atu ki a rātou anō, arā, kāore e taea e rātou. He reta whānui nā Panapa 10:2 I rite hoki ki tā te Atua whakaritenga, ki tā tātou Atua, ki tā Ihu Karaiti, i whānau i roto i te kōpū o Meri, he uri nō Rawiri, nā te Wairua Tapu; i whānau ia, i iriiria hoki, kia purea ai e ia te wai, kia horoia ai te hara. He reta nā Ignatius ki ngā tāngata o Ēpeha 4:9 Kua kite hoki ahau kua pumau koutou i roto i te whakapono pumau, me te mea kua ripekatia koutou ki te ripeka o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti, i roto i te kikokiko, i roto hoki i te wairua; ā, kua whakaukia koutou i roto i te aroha i roto i ngā toto o te Karaiti; kua tino whakapono ki ngā mea e pā ana ki to tatou Ariki. Nō te uri pono ia o Rawiri i runga i te kikokiko, engari ko te Tama a te Atua i runga i te hiahia me te mana o te Atua; i whānau pono i te Wahine Tapu, i iriiria hoki e Hoani; kia tutuki ai ngā tika katoa i roto i a ia. He reta nā Ikenatiu ki ngā tāngata o Hamurana 1:3-4 Kāore e tika kia iriiria, kia whakanuia rānei te Hakari Tapu i waho i te pīhopa; engari ko tāna e whakaae ai, koia anō hoki te mea e paingia ana e te Atua; kia pono ai, kia pai ai te mahi i ngā mea katoa e mahia ana. He reta nā Ikenatiu ki ngā tāngata o Hamurana 3:5 Kia pai ki a ia e whawhai ana koutou i raro i a ia, ā, e whiwhi ana koutou i ō koutou utu. Kaua tetahi o koutou e kitea he tangata whakarērea; engari kia mau tonu tō koutou iriiringa, hei patu mō koutou; tō koutou whakapono hei potae mō koutou; tō koutou aroha hei tao mō koutou; tō koutou manawanui hei pukupuku katoa mō koutou. He reta nā Ignatius ki a Polycarp 2:14 Ā, ko ēhea atu i taka ki te wai, ā, kāore i taea te huri ki roto i te wai? Ko rātou te hunga kua rongo ki te kupu, ā, kua pai kia iriiria i runga i te ingoa o te Ariki; engari i te whakaaro ki te tapu nui e hiahiatia ana e te pono, kua hoki whakamuri rātou, ā, kua hoki anō ki muri i ō rātou hiahia kino. Nā reira i mutu ai tana whakamārama i te pourewa. 1 Pukapuka a te Hepara o Hermas (Ngā kitenga) 3:75-77 Ā, ka mea atu ahau ki a ia, Kua rongo ahau i ētahi kaiako, kāore he ripeneta kē atu i tua atu i te iriiringa; ina heke tātou ki te wai, ā, ka whiwhi i te murunga hara; ā, i muri i tēnā, kaua tātou e hara anō, engari me noho ma. 2 Pukapuka a te Hepara o Hermas (Ngā Whakahau) 4:18 I mua hoki i te whiwhinga o te tangata i te ingoa o te Tama a te Atua, kua whakaritea ia ki te mate; engari ina whiwhi ia i taua hiri, kua wetekina ia i te mate, kua whakaritea ki te ora. Na, ko taua hiri ko te wai o te iriiringa, e heke ai te tangata ki roto i te herenga ki te mate, engari ka ara ake kua whakaritea ki te ora. 3 Pukapuka a te Hepara o Hermas (Ngā Whakataurite) 9:153-154 He reta nā Herora ki a Pirato te Kāwana Nā Herora ki a Ponotio Pirato te Kāwana o Hiruharama: Kia ora. He nui tōku manukanuka. Ka tuhituhi atu ahau i ēnei mea ki a koe, kia rongo ai koe i ēnei mea, kia pouri ai koe mōku. I te mea ko taku tamāhine, ko Heroria, e arohaina nei e au, e takaro ana i runga i te puna wai he hukapapa kei runga, ka pakaru i raro i a ia, ā, ka hinga tōna tinana katoa, ā, ka tapahia tōna māhunga, ka noho ki runga i te mata o te hukapapa. Nā, ko tōna whaea e pupuri ana i tōna māhunga ki runga i ōna turi i roto i ōna uma, ā, kei te tino pouri tōku whare katoa. Nā, i tōku rongonga mō te tangata a Ihu, i hiahia ahau kia haere atu ki a koe, kia kite ahau i a ia anake, kia

Te Iriiri o te Wai me te Ahi Kātahi ahau ka mahara ki te kupu a te Ariki, ki tāna i mea ai, I iriiri a Hoani ki te wai; ko koutou ia ka iriiria ki te Wairua Tapu. Ngā Mahi 11:16
rongo hoki i tana kupu, mehemea rānei he rite ki tā ngā tama a te tangata. Ā, he pono, nā te maha o ngā mea kino i mahia e au ki a Hoani Kaiiriiri, nā te mea hoki i tawai ahau ki a te Karaiti, nāna, ka whiwhi ahau i te utu o te tika, nā te mea kua ringihia e au he toto nui o ngā tamariki a ētahi atu ki runga i te whenua. Nō reira, he tika ngā whakawa a te Atua; nā te mea ka whiwhi ia tangata i runga i tana whakaaro. Nā, i te mea he tika koe kia kite i taua Atua-tangata, nō reira he tika kia inoi koe mōku. Kei roto hoki taku tama, a Āhatoniu, i te mamae nui o te hāora o te mate. Ā, kei roto ahau i te mamae, i te whakamātautau nui, nā te mea he mate repe tōku; ā, kei roto ahau i te mamae nui, nā te mea i whakatoia e ahau te kaiwhakauru i te iriiringa ki te wai, a Hoani. Nō reira, e tōku teina, he tika ngā whakawa a te Atua.
