Romans 12
Maori Bible
12 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.
Romans 12
New King James Version
Living Sacrifices to God
12 I (A)beseech[a] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies (B)a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your [b]reasonable service. 2 And (C)do not be conformed to this world, but (D)be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may (E)prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Serve God with Spiritual Gifts
3 For I say, (F)through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, (G)not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt (H)to each one a measure of faith. 4 For (I)as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, 5 so (J)we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is (K)given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us (L)prophesy in proportion to our faith; 7 or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; (M)he who teaches, in teaching; 8 (N)he who exhorts, in exhortation; (O)he who gives, with liberality; (P)he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, (Q)with cheerfulness.
Behave Like a Christian
9 (R)Let love be without hypocrisy. (S)Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 (T)Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, (U)in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 (V)rejoicing in hope, (W)patient[c] in tribulation, (X)continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 (Y)distributing to the needs of the saints, (Z)given[d] to hospitality.
14 (AA)Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 (AB)Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 (AC)Be of the same mind toward one another. (AD)Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
17 (AE)Repay no one evil for evil. (AF)Have[e] regard for good things in the sight of all men. 18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, (AG)live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, (AH)do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, (AI)“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 Therefore
(AJ)“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
If he is thirsty, give him a drink;
For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but (AK)overcome evil with good.

羅 馬 書 12
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
为上帝奉献生命
12 兄弟姐妹们，我乞求你们，因为上帝向我们展示的丰富怜悯，请你们把自己的生命做为活祭奉献给上帝—这是只奉献给上帝、并让他喜悦的祭献。就上帝所做的而论，这才是你们应该敬拜他的方式。 2 不要变得像世人似的，而是让上帝用新的思维方式改变你们的内心，以便能够理解并接受上帝对你们所希望的。你们将会知道什么是美好的、什么是让他喜悦的、什么是完美的。
3 上帝赐给了我特殊的馈赠，因此我有话要对你们每一个人说。不要过高地超乎实际地看待自己，你们必须切实地看待自己，要按上帝赐给你们每个人的信仰来决定你们的身份。 4 我们每个人都有一个身体，这身体由许多部分组成，它们起的作用不都相同。 5 同样，我们虽有许多人，但在基督里，我们却是一体的，我们是这个身体的组成部分，是互相关联着的。
6 我们各有不同的天赋，由于上帝赐给我们的恩典，产生了每一种天赋。如果这天赋是预言 [a]，那么，他们就应凭与自己相称的信仰去运用这天赋； 7 如果这天赋是侍奉，他们就应该去侍奉；如果这天赋是教导人，他们就应该去教导人； 8 如果这天赋是安慰他人，他们就应该去给人带来安慰；如果这天赋是帮助别人，他们就应该慷慨地去帮助他人；如果这天赋是做领袖，就让他不辞辛劳、孜孜不倦地工作；如果这天赋是体恤关心人，他们就应该高高兴兴地去做此事。
9 爱必须真诚，要憎恨邪恶，对美好的事物要执着。 10 用兄弟般的爱，把自己奉献给彼此吧，在荣誉方面，彼此应该高估对方； 11 侍奉上帝时，要努力工作，切忌偷懒，要热忱地为他服务。 12 在盼望中，要快乐；在患难中，要忍耐；要坚持祈祷。 13 要与上帝的圣民同分担困难，要热情好客。
14 为迫害你们的人祝福，而不要诅咒他们。 15 与欢快的人们同乐，与忧伤的人们同忧； 16 彼此要和睦相处，不要骄傲自大，要乐意和卑微的人交往，不要自以为是。
17 不要以恶报恶；大家都认为是好的事情，要留心去做。 18 要尽全力与人和睦相处。 19 亲爱的朋友们，不要企图惩罚对你们做恶的人，而是要等待上帝的愤怒去惩罚他们。在《经》上，主说道∶‘因为他们的行为，我将惩罚他们。" [b] 20 相反，
“如果你的仇人饿了，给他吃的；
如果他渴了，给他喝的；
如果你这么做，会让他无地自容的 [c]。”
21 不要被邪恶击败，要用美好击败罪恶。
