Whakaatu koe e koe te
 pukapuka o te ora 
Ariki, te Atua, 
tuhituhi ki te mangumangu,
 engari e kore e ki te 
Wairua o te Atua i te ora,
 kahore i runga i nga papa 
o te kohatu, 
engari ki runga ki nga 
papa o te ngakau tangata. 
Mârama e koe te pukapuka 
i te Karaiti. 
Ko te reta e kore e 
tuhituhia ki te pene me 
te mangumangu, 
engari ki te Wairua Tapu. 
Kua kore whakairo te reira
i roto i nga papa o
 te kohatu, 
engari i roto i te
 ngakau tangata. 

You show that you are 
a letter of the living 
Lord God ,
written not with ink but
 with the Spirit of the
 living God, not on tablets
of stone but on tablets
 of human heart.
Clearly you are a letter
 from Christ .
The letter is written not
 with pen and ink ,
but with the Holy Spirit.
It is carved not in tablets 
of stone,
but in human heart.
(2 Corinthians 3:3 )
