1 Na, kua mamae nei o te Karaiti kikokiko mo tatou, e mau koutou ki nga ea whawhai, ara ki taua whakaaro pu ra ano: ko te tangata hoki kua mamae te kikokiko kua mutu te hara;

2 Mo te wa e toe nei o te noho ki te kikokiko kia kaua i runga i nga hiahia o te tangata, engari i ta te Atua i pai ai.

3 Kati hoki ma tatou ko te wahi o to tatou ora kua pahemo nei, hei mahinga ma tatou i ta nga tauiwi i pai ai, i a tatou i haere i runga i te hiahia taikaha, i nga minamina, i te haurangi waina, i te kakai, i te inu, i te karakia whakarihariha ki ng a whakapakoko:

4 he mea hou tenei ki a ratou, ara to koutou kahore e rere tahi, e torere ki taua kino: a korero kino iho mo koutou:

5 Me korero ana ratou i a ratou mahi ki a ia, e noho rite nei ki te whakawa i te hunga ora, i te hunga mate.

6 Mo konei ra i kauwhautia ai ano te rongopai ki te hunga kua mate, kia whakahengia ratou, ara te kikokiko i runga i ta te tangata, kia ora ia ratou, ara te wairua i runga i ta te Atua.

7 Kua tata ia te whakamutunga o nga mea katoa: na, kia whai whakaaro koutou, kia mataara, kia inoi.

8 I te tuatahi o nga mea katoa arohaina putia koutou e koutou ano: he tini hoki nga hara ka hipokina e te aroha.

9 Whakamanuhiritia tetahi e tetahi; kaua e amuamu.

10 Ko te mea kua riro noa i tetahi, i tetahi, meatia atu ano e koutou ma tetahi, ma tetahi, kia rite ki ta nga tuari pai o nga homaitanga maha a te Atua.

11 Ki te korero tetahi, kia rite tana ki ta nga kupu a te Atua; ki te minita tetahi, kia rite tana ki to te kaha e homai ana e te Atua: kia whai kororia ai te Atua i nga mea katoa i roto i a Ihu Karaiti; kei a ia te kororia me te mana ake ake. Amin e.

12 E oku hoa aroha, kaua e kiia he hanga hou te tahunga i roto i a koutou hei whakamatautau i a koutou; ano he mea hou tenei kua pa ki a koutou:

13 Engari ka uru nei koutou ki nga mamae o te Karaiti, kia hari koutou; he mea hoki e hari ai koutou, whakamanamana rawa, a te whakakitenga mai o tona kororia.

14 Ki te tawaia koutou mo te ingoa o te Karaiti, ka hari koutou; no te mea e tau ana te Wairua o te kororia, me te Wairua o te Atua ki runga ki a koutou.

15 Kaua ia tetahi o koutou e whakamamaetia mo te mahi patu tangata, mo te tahae, mo te mahi i te kino, mo te pokanoa ki a era meatanga.

16 Ki te whakamamaetia ia tetahi mo te ki he Karaitiana ia, kaua ia e whakama; engari he mea tenei e whakakororia ai ia i te Atua.

17 Ko te wa hoki tenei e timata ai te whakawa ki te whare o te Atua: ki te mea hoki kei a tatou te tuatahi, he pehea ra te whakamutunga ki te hunga e kore e tahuri ki te rongopai o te Atua?

18 A ki te mea ka ora noa te tangata tika, kei hea he putanga mo te tangata karakiakore, mo te tangata hara?

19 Na, ko te hunga ano kua pai nei te Atua kia whakamamaetia ratou, me tuku e ratou o ratou wairua ki a ia, ara ki te Kaihanga pono, me te mahi ano ia i te pai.

1 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. 3 For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries: 4 wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you: 5 who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the living and the dead. 6 For unto this end was the gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.

7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore of sound mind, and be sober unto prayer: 8 above all things being fervent in your love among yourselves; for love covereth a multitude of sins: 9 using hospitality one to another without murmuring: 10 according as each hath received a gift, ministering it among yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God; 11 if any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, ministering as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you: 13 but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy. 14 If ye are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are ye; because the Spirit of glory and the Spirit of God resteth upon you. 15 For let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evil-doer, or as a meddler in other men’s matters: 16 but if a man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God in this name. 17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous is scarcely saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.
