1 Heoi, e oku teina aroha, e hiahiatia atu nei, e toku haringa, e toku karauna, tena ra, e tu i runga i te Ariki, e oku hoa aroha.

2 He kupu tenei naku ki a Uoria, he kupu ano tenei ki a Hinatiki, kia kotahi to raua whakaaro i roto i te Ariki.

3 Na, he tohe tenei naku ki a koe, e toku hoa pono ki te mahi, ko koe hei whakamama i aua wahine, he hunga raua i uru tahi me ahau ki te tohe ki nga mea o te rongopai, me Keremeneta ano, me era atu hoki o oku hoa mahi, kei roto nei i te pukapuka o te ora o ratou ingoa.

4 Kia hari tonu i roto i te Ariki: ko taku kupu ano tenei, Kia hari.

5 Kia mohiotia to koutou ngakau ngawari e nga tangata katoa. Kua tata te Ariki.

6 Kaua e manukanuka ki tetahi mea; engari i nga mea katoa whakaaturia ki te Atua nga mea e matea ai e koutou, i runga i te karakia, i te inoi, me te whakawhetai hoki.

7 A ma te marie o te Atua, e kore nei e taea te whakaaro, e tiaki o koutou ngakau, o koutou hinengaro, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

8 Heoi, e oku teina, ko nga mea e pono ana, ko nga mea e whai honore ana, ko nga mea e tika ana, ko nga mea e kinokore ana, ko nga mea e ataahua ana, ko nga mea e korerotia paitia ana; ki te mea he pai, ki te mea he whakamoemiti; whakaaroa enei mea.

9 Ko nga mea i whakaakona ki a koutou, i riro i a koutou, i rongo ai, i kite ai ranei ki ahau, mahia enei: a ka noho te Atua o te rangimarie ki a koutou.

10 Nui atu ia toku hari i roto i te Ariki mo to koutou whakaaro ki ahau katahi nei ka pihi ake ano; he mea ano ia i whakaaroa e koutou i mua, otiia kihai i whai meatanga.

11 Ehara taku e korero nei i te mea mo te rawakore: kua ako hoki ahau, ahakoa kei hea ahau e noho ana, kia tatu toku ngakau i reira.

12 Ko te whakahoki i ahau ki raro, matau tonu i ahau; ko te whai rawa, matau tonu i ahau: i nga wahi katoa, i nga mea katoa, ka oti ahau te whakaako, kia makona, a kia mate i te kai, kia whai rawa, a kia rawakore ranei.

13 Ka taea e ahau nga mea katoa i roto i a te Karaiti e whakakaha nei i ahau.

14 He ahakoa ra, he pai ta koutou mahi, i a koutou i uru nei ki toku mate.

15 Na e matau ana ano ra koutou, e nga Piripai, i te timatanga o te rongopai, i ahau i haere atu ai i Makeronia, kahore he hahi i uru ki taku tikanga, ara mo tetahi mea kia tukua atu, kia homai ranei, ko koutou anake.

16 I Teharonika ano hoki kotahi, e rua, a koutou homaitanga i nga mea i matea e ahau, kia kawea ake maku.

17 Ehara i te mea e whai ana ahau i tetahi mea kia homai; engari e whai ana ahau kia maha ake nga hua hei mea ma koutou.

18 Otiia kei te whiwhi ahau i nga mea katoa, hira noa ake hoki aku: kua ki ahau, kua tae mai nei i a Epaporitu nga mea i ahu mai i a koutou, he kakara reka, he patunga tapu e manakohia ana, ko ta te Atua e ahuareka mai ai.

19 A ma toku Atua e mea kia hua nga mea katoa e matea ana e koutou, kia rite ki te nui o tona kororia, i roto i a Karaiti Ihu.

20 Na, waiho i te Atua, ara i to tatou Matua, te kororia ake ake. Amine.

21 Oha atu ki te hunga tapu katoa i roto i a Karaiti Ihu. He oha atu tenei ki a koutou na nga teina i ahau nei.

22 He oha atu tenei ki a koutou na te hunga tapu katoa, tenei rawa ia ta te hunga o te whare o Hiha.

23 Kia tau te aroha noa o to tatou Ariki, o Ihu Karaiti ki a koutou katoa. Amine.

1 Wherefore, my brethren beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my beloved.

2 I exhort Euodia, and I exhort Syntyche, to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 Yea, I beseech thee also, true yokefellow, help these women, for they labored with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow-workers, whose names are in the book of life.

4 Rejoice in the Lord always: again I will say, Rejoice. 5 Let your forbearance be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. 9 The things which ye both learned and received and heard and saw in me, these things do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

10 But I rejoice in the Lord greatly, that now at length ye have revived your thought for me; wherein ye did indeed take thought, but ye lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content. 12 I know how to be abased, and I know also how to abound: in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want. 13 I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me. 14 Howbeit ye did well that ye had fellowship with my affliction. 15 And ye yourselves also know, ye Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church had fellowship with me in the matter of giving and receiving but ye only; 16 for even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my need. 17 Not that I seek for the gift; but I seek for the fruit that increaseth to your account. 18 But I have all things, and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things that came from you, an odor of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 19 And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto our God and Father be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren that are with me salute you. 22 All the saints salute you, especially they that are of Cæsar’s household.

23 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
