1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, {which is} your intelligent service.
2 And be not conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of {your} mind, that ye may prove what {is} the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace which has been given to me, to every one that is among you, not to have high thoughts above what he should think; but to think so as to be wise, as God has dealt to each a measure of faith.
4 For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;
5 thus we, {being} many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.
6 But having different gifts, according to the grace which has been given to us, whether {it be} prophecy, {let us prophesy} according to the proportion of faith;
7 or service, {let us occupy ourselves} in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;
8 or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:
10 as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:
11 as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.
12 As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:
13 distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep.
16 Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:
17 recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:
18 if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;
19 not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance {belongs} to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord.
20 If therefore thine enemy should hunger, feed him; if he should thirst, give him drink; for, so doing, thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head.
21 Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
1 Koia ahau ka inoi nei ki a koutou, e oku teina, kia whakaaroa nga mahi a te Atua, kia tapaea atu o koutou tinana hei whakahere ora, tapu, e manakohia ana e te Atua, he mahi na to koutou hinengaro.
2 Kaua hoki to koutou ahua e rite ki to tenei ao: engari kia puta ke, ara kia whakahoutia o koutou hinengaro, kia whakamatautauria ai e koutou ta te Atua e pai ai, te mea e pai ana, e manakohia ana, e tino rite ana.
3 Ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki nga tangata katoa i roto i a koutou, he mea na te aroha noa i homai nei ki ahau, Kaua e hira ake te whakaaro o tetahi ki a ia ano i te mea i tika kia whakaaroa e ia; engari kia ata whakaaro, kia rite ki te wahi o te wha kapono i tuwhaina e te Atua ki tena, ki tena.
4 E rite ana hoki ki o tatou wahi ka maha nei i te tinana kotahi, kihai ia i kotahi te mahi ma aua wahi katoa:
5 Waihoki ko tatou tokomaha nei, he tinana kotahi i roto i a te Karaiti, ko tatou takitahi ia, he wahi tetahi no tetahi.
6 Na ka rere ke nei nga mea i homai ki a tatou, he mea e rite ana ki te aroha noa i homai ki a tatou, ki te mea he mahi poropiti, me poropiti, kia rite ano ki te rahi o to tatou whakapono;
7 He mahi minita, kia u tatou ki ta tatou mahi minita; ko te kaiwhakaako, kia u ki tana mahi whakaako;
8 Ko te kaiwhakahauhau, kia u ki tana whakahauhau; ko te kaihoatu, kia mahorahora te ngakau; ko te kaiwhakahaere kia uaua ki tana mahi, a ko te kaiatawhai kia ngahau te ahua.
9 Ko te aroha, hei te mea tinihangakore. Kia whakarihariha ki te kino; kia u ki te pai.
10 Ka aroha ki nga teina, kia tino pono te aroha tetahi ki tetahi; ka whakahonore, kia nui ta tetahi i tetahi.
11 Kia uaua, kaua e mangere; kia toko tonu ake te wairua; me te mahi ano ki te Ariki;
12 Kia hari i runga i te tumanako; kia manawanui ki te whakapawera; kia u ki te inoi;
13 Whakawhiwhia te hunga tapu ina rawakore; kia mau ki te atawhai manuhiri.
14 Manaakitia te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou: manaakitia, kaua e kanga.
15 Kia hari tahi me te hunga hari, kia tangi tahi me te hunga tangi.
16 Kia kotahi te whakaaro o koutou tetahi ki tetahi. Kaua e whakakake te whakaaro, engari me whakaiti ki nga mea papaku. Kei mea ake koutou he mohio koutou.
17 Kaua e utua ta tetahi kino ki te kino. Whakaaroa ko nga mea e pai ana ki mua i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa.
18 Ki te taea, whakapaua ta koutou kia mau te rongo ki nga tangata katoa.
19 Aua e rapu utu mo koutou, e oku hoa aroha, engari whakaatea atu i te riri: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Maku te rapu utu; maku te hoatu utu, e ai ta te Ariki.
20 Na, ki te matekai tou hoariri, whangainga; ki te matewai, whakainumia: ki te penei hoki tau mahi, ka purangatia e koe he waro kapura ki tona matenga.
21 Kei hinga koe i te kino, engari kia hinga te kino i tou pai.
