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 Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. 2 I beseech Euodias, and beseech Syntyche, that they be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing 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 keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, 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 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

10 But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 14 Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. 15 Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. 16 For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. 17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. 18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. 20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

21 Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. 22 All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of Caesar’s household. 23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
