¹I 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.

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.

²And 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.

²Kaua 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.

³For 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.

³Ko 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.

⁴For, as in one body we have many members, but all the members have not the same office;

⁴E rite ana hoki ki o tatou wahi ka maha nei i te tinana kotahi, kihai ia i kotahi te mahi ma aua wahi katoa:

⁵thus we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and each one members one of the other.

⁵Waihoki ko tatou tokomaha nei, he tinana kotahi i roto i a te Karaiti, ko tatou takitahi ia, he wahi tetahi no tetahi.

⁶But 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;

⁶Na 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;

⁷or service, [let us occupy ourselves] in service; or he that teaches, in teaching;

⁷He mahi minita, kia u tatou ki ta tatou mahi minita; ko te kaiwhakaako, kia u ki tana mahi whakaako;

⁸or he that exhorts, in exhortation; he that gives, in simplicity; he that leads, with diligence; he that shews mercy, with cheerfulness.

⁸Ko 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.

⁹Let love be unfeigned; abhorring evil; cleaving to good:

⁹Ko te aroha, hei te mea tinihangakore. Kia whakarihariha ki te kino; kia u ki te pai.

¹⁰as to brotherly love, kindly affectioned towards one another: as to honour, each taking the lead in paying it to the other:

¹⁰Ka aroha ki nga teina, kia tino pono te aroha tetahi ki tetahi; ka whakahonore, kia nui ta tetahi i tetahi.

¹¹as to diligent zealousness, not slothful; in spirit fervent; serving the Lord.

¹¹Kia uaua, kaua e mangere; kia toko tonu ake te wairua; me te mahi ano ki te Ariki;

¹²As regards hope, rejoicing: as regards tribulation, enduring: as regards prayer, persevering:

¹²Kia hari i runga i te tumanako; kia manawanui ki te whakapawera; kia u ki te inoi;

¹³distributing to the necessities of the saints; given to hospitality.

¹³Whakawhiwhia te hunga tapu ina rawakore; kia mau ki te atawhai manuhiri.

¹⁴Bless them that persecute you; bless, and curse not.

¹⁴Manaakitia te hunga e tukino ana i a koutou: manaakitia, kaua e kanga.

¹⁵Rejoice with those that rejoice, weep with those that weep.

¹⁵Kia hari tahi me te hunga hari, kia tangi tahi me te hunga tangi.

¹⁶Have the same respect one for another, not minding high things, but going along with the lowly: be not wise in your own eyes:

¹⁶Kia 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.

¹⁷recompensing to no one evil for evil: providing things honest before all men:

¹⁷Kaua e utua ta tetahi kino ki te kino. Whakaaroa ko nga mea e pai ana ki mua i te aroaro o nga tangata katoa.

¹⁸if possible, as far as depends on you, living in peace with all men;

¹⁸Ki te taea, whakapaua ta koutou kia mau te rongo ki nga tangata katoa.

¹⁹not avenging yourselves, beloved, but give place to wrath; for it is written, Vengeance [belongs] to me, *I* will recompense, saith the Lord.

¹⁹Aua 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.

²⁰If 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.

²⁰Na, 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.

²¹Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

²¹Kei hinga koe i te kino, engari kia hinga te kino i tou pai.
